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 [...]

How I Slept in TWICE, and Why I Love John

Apparently Camper woke up at 4:30 this morning.  I say apparently because I was completely asleep, and my wonderful husband not only got up and played with him, fed him, and changed him…but also seemed pretty happy about it.  I woke up right before six, at which time I took the Bubbs downstairs to get [...]

After John got up this evening, he was up in the bathroom/office vicinity when I heard him scream, “ERIIINNN!!!!”  Now, for a man that rarely raises his voice for anything, this was pretty unexpected.  I, of course, assumed that he was dead and rushed to the stairwell.
No, he is not dead, but he is accepted [...]

Sleeping Alone

Shortly after we were married, one of John’s professors told him he should write an essay about bed sharing. Apparently, after a life of sleeping alone, adjusting to another person’s presence and habits can be interesting. I’m not sure the essay ever even got started, but I’ve thought about that now and then. [...]

It was a fun night This is the end of our humongous Chinese food dinner.  We ordered EVERYTHING we wanted.  Needless to say, we came home with loads of leftovers.

My fortune cookie said: “Today, be civil, but don’t go out of your way to be over friendly.”
I’m so glad to back in New [...]

So most of the time these days I’m posting about my little boy and how insanely in love with him I am.  It’s true.  I think I spent most of the morning just breathing in his baby breath (how does it smell so good?) as he tried to fall asleep and feeling his little arms [...]

As I smush my face against John’s face for about 45 seconds, he looks at me quizzically out of the corner of his eye.  When I finally pull away he says:
“Was that just a really long sniff-kiss?”
I laugh.  “Yes.”  I laugh until I snort.
“And was that a snort laugh?”
“Yesssssss……”
“I love you.”
“I love you too.”

Sooo….It’s been a long week in which I posted NADA. Not that I didn’t think about it, it’s just been tough to find the time. Let’s go back to the beginning and review…
Monday night John decided and I went to Babies ‘r Us and bought a Snoogle. I had been resistant because of the [...]

So- I’ve decided to move on from the song title thing. Mostly- they were only amusing- or even made sense- to me. So I think I’ll give it up for awhile.
So, this morning we slept in (Saturday, soooo nice) then got up and proceeded to do the house cleaning we do each week. [...]

Doesn’t anybody sell pizza by the slice out here? Seriously. After leaving work tonight I had to run a couple of errands and the traffic was horrible. I keep thinking about the pizza we had yesterday, and wanted some more. To safe myself the horror of getting an entire pizza, I [...]
