One More New Thing

OH yeah!  One more new thing!!  The hair on my legs seems to be growing in faster than before.  It’s really really weird- is this a postpartum thing or am I just a freak?
And if anyone has any tips to do with weaning whilst dealing with mastitis, I’m all ears.  The percocet is going to [...]

All the Farts in the World

This post is not about my baby.  This post is about a huge truck sitting in my driveway pumping what seems like years of sewage from our septic tank.  Our sink clogged up the day I went into labor, and it wasn’t until the next week that we ended up calling the landlord and asking [...]

All Work and No Play is Not What Erin Did Today

No work for me today.  Yesterday the newbie and I got through everything that needed to be done, and seeing as how I was feeling rather extraordinarily pregnant I thought that today might be a good day for her to fly solo and get some rest for myself. (Payroll starts Monday.) Last night was another [...]

Perhaps the Most Ridiculous Day Ever

So, I was up all night last night and sorely tempted to stay in bed allll daaay long today.  Contrary to this impression, I did get up and go to work, which is where all the ridiculousness started.  I sat down and started updating my spreadsheets, all normal-like, just enjoying a plastic container of blueberries [...]

So last night was bad.  And by bad- I mean, “Hey Colon…how you doing this evening?” Answer: BAD.  I don’t really understand what happened…for a couple of weeks it seems like the prednisone has been working its magic, but then BAM.  Not so much.  And I thought iron was supposed to make me constipated?  I [...]

The title comes from something John said to me whilst we were chilling in Labor and Delivery yesterday. But I’ll have to work my way up to that…
So yes- long story short…had to take some unpleasant tests yesterday and today which required me to stop taking medications controlling my stomach problems. As a [...]

Happy Fourth of July!  I was just reading the Star Spangled Banner (yes…reading, not singing) and came across the line from whence I drew the title of this blog.  There are no better words to hint at the kind of feelings I’m having this year- very deep.  But I’ll leave them to stand on their [...]

A cute thought- brought to us by my online science class.

“We classify deformations by whether the object returns to its original shape after the force is removed. In an elastic deformation, the object returns to its original shape. The deformation is plastic if the object keeps its new shape, even after the deforming force is removed. If a large enough force is [...]

Apparently John is waiting for me to post so that he can. I think I’m just tired of talking about last Saturday- and enjoyed a nice retreat from the world for a couple of days. But let’s go back to the beginning.
Friday evening I got a text message from my boss telling me [...]

It’s been a day.  So…I’ve been sick for a little while now.  Not like, debilitating sick, but uncomfortable and experiencing odd, off-putting things.  For your sake, I won’t share. One certain problem got a lot worse over Christmas- and even thought the very last thing I want to do is go to the doctor- I’ve [...]
