This morning we were sitting in traffic on the way to preschool. “Look Mommy! We’re in a car parade!” I have to say that this is a much healthier way to look at it. It really takes the stress out of a traffic jam. I don’t think the lady wildly gesturing in the car behind [...]
These Stories All End With “I Have to Go Potty.”
May 17, 2008
You know potty training is finally going really well. *Furtively looks for wood to knock on* But OH.MY.GOD. Could she pick more inappropriate times to have to pee? 1 “Okay Squad we are going to the post office and then to the store.”* 15 minutes later “I’m serious. We’re going to the post office.” 30 [...]
All You All Day
May 16, 2008
We haven’t done one of these in a while and seeing how it is Friday, let’s have some questions for you. 1) If you had to make out with someone from a children’s television show who would you pick? (Nonhipster Mom and I were discussing this yesterday. I still haven’t come up with an answer.) [...]
Randomness Part 112
May 15, 2008
Dave Mustaine has his own line of coffee. It makes me jittery just thinking about it. I’ve never tasted it, but my guess is – bitter. (Thanks Frank Sucks, sorry I forgot at first.) I think I am addicted to Tootsie Rolls. A whole blog dedicated to things that are younger than John McCain. (Thanks [...]
Why She is Going to Have to Start Doing Her Own Laundry
May 14, 2008
1:25 PM – Standing in my own kitchen. Hey Mommy! Me: Hi Claudia. Why are you completely naked? Her: Because I wanted to wear these underpants. Me: Why? What happened to the underpants you were wearing? Silence Me: Did you pee in your underpants? Her: No. Me: Did you get food on your underpants? Her: [...]
Four
May 12, 2008
Four years ago today – right about this time of day I was getting a mag wash. I was 34 1/2 weeks pregnant and I had been in the hospital for over five weeks. Up until that point the doctors and nurses had been able to stop my contractions with terbutaline and Procardia. The magnesium [...]
Mothers Day
May 11, 2008
I just want to take this opportunity to thank the two greatest mothers (and Grandmothers) that I know. I couldn’t be any luckier than I am to have these two women in my life. Thank you for being such great parents and role models.
What Hurts
May 9, 2008
I’ll tell you what really hurts. Getting cayenne pepper in your eye, that is what causes some pain.
5:00 am
May 8, 2008
I’m trying to get into this weekday cycle where I get up at 5:00 am and use our elliptical machine. Let me explain. Besides the obvious – I need to get into shape, and the maybe not so apparent – we spent a lot on the damn elliptical machine and I want to get my [...]
Today on Today
May 7, 2008
How great is it to turn on The Today Show* and see your friends on there? Kristen, Jill, Mir and Heather all did great jobs. I enjoyed the segment even if Kathie Lee Gifford is pretty much a tool and obviously hasn’t spent much time reading blogs. Did she actually say she was afraid of [...]
I Thought I Felt My House Shaking
May 6, 2008
I thought it was a sonic boom. I thought maybe a Space Shuttle was landing. Then I remembered I don’t live in Florida anymore. All I know it that my whole house shook for about 10 seconds. 10 seconds is only a long time if your house is vibrating. As it turns out I’m not [...]
Is Nike Saying What I Think it is Saying?
May 6, 2008
I’ve been sitting on this one for a while, because I wasn’t sure if 1) the subject matter was appropriate for my blog or 2) that any of you would care or know what I was talking about. Anyway, you know that Nike ad? That one where the guy says “My Better is Better Than [...]
