So I was tooling around the internet the other day and I found this:

I couldn’t believe my eyes!  For shiz, that baby SAVED HIS OWN LIFE.  And all of a sudden my desire for Camper to swim went up like a million kajillion degrees.  Obviously, he’s only  months old, but it doesn’t hurt to try, [...]

Wear me out.

So I have this philosophy.  It’s born from watching lots of moms with healthy, happy sons, and lots of babysitting experience.  (I always babysat boys for some reason.  I had a few weekly jobs that I did for years, and one mom would pay me above and beyond what anyone else did to secure my [...]

On the Go

Last week I brought Camper with me to piano lessons.  My students had been asking to meet him, and although I knew he’d be a huge distraction, I brought him and La La along to help so that I’d actually be able to teach.  Speedracer had his lesson first so that he could play with [...]

So my Mom and I wanted “something to do” this afternoon.  We didn’t want to spend money, so we did some investigative work instead.  What I learned was:
Pools are expensive, yo.  Even the one I THOUGHT was $35 a year is apparently $35 before they will allow me to pay the $44 for eight swim [...]

I think I have a crush on the pediatrician.

The thing is, she’s a woman!  No really, I super dig Camper’s doctor.  First of all, she’s a Mom herself.  She’s managed to raise a couple of happy kids (I think they’re school-aged now) AND finish med school and that goes along with it.  She’s knowledgeable and attentive and Camper loves her.  She’s got an [...]

The Day I Took a Pregnancy Test at Big Y

So it’s no secret that John and I have a child. One son. I have a son. (I heart saying this, so sorry for the repetition.) I pretty much dig him, enough that I stay home and stare at him all day long. Ok, so maybe I play with him [...]

Anyone Else?

Every night when I go to bed I find another bruise or red mark from being attacked by my vampire child.  He is getting stronger, and doesn’t know that he’s hurting us with his playing (AND biting!!)  Am I alone in this, or do all kids go through an accidental violent phase when they become [...]

Sneaky Sneaky Rice Cereal…

I did some Bubby cooking today.  I am MOST proud of my turkey meatballs!  I made mini meatballs, just ground turkey mixed with egg and baby’s rice cereal (I know, right?!), and then boiled them in tomato sauce. I think they turned out really well, and I was excited to figure out a way to [...]

It’s been thunderstormy for a couple of days (watching the weather, apparently…everywhere), but we hope it goes away soon.  There’s a new swing in the backyard that misses us.

Let me preface this post by saying I am a happy person.  Today was a good day.
I have no idea why, but about 40 minutes ago or so, I just internally went INSANEO.  I’m not yelling or slamming things, but seriously…if I were alone…I might be doing both.
We ended up getting a rug that I’ve [...]
