Queen of Rambles

We had a much better day today, thank goodness. As much as I complain about things and as frustrated as I get, the good days still outweigh the bad days. I never really wanted kids because I’m basically a selfish person at heart and don’t want to deal with a drug addled teenager, but at [...]

I finally finished the book about three year olds. It is pretty dated and has some bizarre suggestions (having your kid poop on a newspaper in the bathroom if they won’t sit on the toilet?!?) but at least I can breathe deeply and chant “this is normal, this is normal, this is normal” when Erik [...]

First, an update on the sleeping because I know there are a couple of you out there who care. We toddler/preschooler moms have to stick together! Friday night I slept in the guest room and let Mike take care of Erik. The boy slept in his little bed until 7:30 am. Whoo-hoo! Last night we [...]

I was doing cartwheels (mentally. . . no matter how much I Body Pump, I’ll never be able to do a cartwheel) and happy dancing and all that fun stuff. Cut to midnight. Erik is flip-flopping, his extremities are hitting the [...]

Non-co-sleepers are probably muttering dark things under their breath, but whatever. This is a huge milestone for us and it’s about darned time. [...]

I have been planning my evening all day. I just called Mike to confirm that I should pick him up from the train station at the regular time, but nooooooooooooo bastard controller didn’t come to work today just because the company isn’t issuing paychecks, so Mike’s going to be three hours late. That does not [...]

Facebook has declared I am now in a relationship with Mike, so I guess I am finally married for real. Nothing like good old Web 2.0 to define your relationships, right? Speaking of, I am getting a little freaked out by Facebook. Some local friends have found me and comment on my status updates when [...]
