We have quite the conundrum for tomorrow. A friend of ours is lending us their car for two and a half weeks, so of course, we’d like to go somewhere. Here’s the problem: Read the rest of this entry »
Before 11am
May 27, 2012Preschool, the saga continues
May 24, 2012Well, this is getting exciting. First I thought we were only going to have one option for preschool for August this fall : the Catholic preschool down the street. Not that it’s a bad option, it’s just that I’m not really all that comfortable with him coming home singing about God, and potentially telling me that the Jews killed Jesus come Easter time. So, I kept looking. Brent suggested I call the Jewish Community Center, and I did assuming they would have no space (it has a REALLY good rep). They do have space. We’re going to visit it next week, but it’s kind of the same problem as the Catholic preschool, though. It’s not that I don’t want August to learn about religion, because I do, I just don’t want his education to come from someone who is already biased. He’ll get all the bias’ he needs from us.

You know you’re old when…
May 20, 2012Last night we went out for dinner in a neighborhood that we hadn’t been to in a while. On our way home we walked by a cosmetic store with this sign in the window “Professionally Validated Age-Eraser”, and I said to Brent “You know you’re old when that sign is actually appealing.” That made me think about what are other signs that tell you (or me in this case) that I’m old? Here’s my list below what are yours? Read the rest of this entry »
MIA again
May 18, 2012I guess you’re going to start to think that EVERY time I’m MIA around here it means I’m on vacation, or something? Could be true…we just got back from Kauai. Yep, that’s right, you heard me, Kauai, Hawaii – not Kauai, Idaho (is there a Kauai, Idaho?). We had a great time. Went to a beach almost every day, swam in a pool almost every day, and went running almost every day. August got over his fear of the ocean water and instead developed what I hope to be a life-long love. He better, anyhow, to keep up with his parents. And perhaps best of all, I finished two books in six days. I got my reading Mojo back. Can I get a woot-woot? Read the rest of this entry »
Happy birthday to Me!
May 9, 2012I was trolling Facebook today, and a friend of mine mentioned that she can’t get enough of the song “We are Young” by the group Fun. I wasn’t sure what this song was, but we usually have the same taste in music (she also has an affinity for 80′s music) so I decided to take a listen. Of course, I know the song, and it reminded me of my birthday yesterday. Read the rest of this entry »
Running towards the Finish Line
May 3, 2012Last night when I was lying in bed, not sleeping, I was thinking about how many of my friends have done one of the following things in the past five years: Read the rest of this entry »
Poop and Splinters – in sixty minutes
April 27, 2012Warning: Don’t try this at home.
I knew things were going to be bad, as far as naps go, because he didn’t poop all day yesterday. Whenever he goes a day without pooping, the next day is followed by a day without a nap. Don’t ask me why, but it’s true. He holds all his poop in until about an hour into his nap, and then lets it “rip”, sort of speak. And there’s nothing I can do about it. A couple of times I’ve gone in and caught him with poop, changed his diaper and left victorious thinking, “Ah ha, I’ve done it. Now he’ll sleep.” But instead, he poops again, and I don’t find out until I go in after his two hours are up. Read the rest of this entry »
Does anyone sleep anymore?
April 26, 2012I may be totally kidding myself, but I feel like I used to sleep – A LOT! Before August came around, I remember sleeping through the night, falling asleep as soon as my head hit the pillow, and sleeping until at least 10am. If someone wanted to do brunch with me on the weekends, I couldn’t make it anywhere until 11am at least. Read the rest of this entry »
Time off
April 25, 2012Every day August “naps” (whether he chooses to sleep is his decision) from about 12:30pm to at least 2:30pm depending on whether he falls asleep. Some days he’s in there for three hours, some days it’s close to four, but he’s always in there for at least two. So this begs the question, what the hell do I do with my “time off”? Fuck, if I know.

Cancun
April 24, 2012Sorry about the radio silence, but I have an excuse, sort of….I went to a wedding, by myself, in Cancun and just got back on Sunday night. I say “sort of” an excuse because I left Friday morning and I was back on Sunday night. So I wasn’t gone THAT long, certainly not long enough to make up for the fact that it’s been over a week since I’ve written. Lammo, I know, sorry…. Read the rest of this entry »
