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 [...]

So last night, kind of last minute, John and I decided to go out to dinner somewhere.  First day of work, home for the weekend, seemed like a good reason to get out.  Camper was having a rough time going down, but once we had him under control, we left him cuddling with LaLa and [...]

So John resigned from the job, because he has a NEW job, starting tomorrow!  That means my husband will be home at night.  All night, no more sleeping by myself!  We changed the sheets on the bed yesterday, and he went and got his favorite pillow from the office, and I got all bleary-eyed.  He [...]

Just enough is not always easy to make.

So last night was an interesting night.  As my last night alone at home with Camper (John works nights, my parents have been on vacation) I thought I had make it through without wigging myself out.  I know I’m a grown up…but I have to accept that I just hate being alone.  Hate it.  So [...]

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 [...]

9:42 on a Saturday night- and I’m WORN OUT.  I just noticed that I haven’t updated in a couple of days (I know?  What?) and it’s because I suddenly grew a life this weekend.  Friday morning I had my first ever play group with Camper.  I was apprehensive as he is my first child, and [...]

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. [...]

John fixed the elliptical.  So today, not Monday, TODAY, not next week, I decided to start.  I got the bright idea to get some books on CD to listen to while I work out.  Music doesn’t distract me enough, and if I can’t get outside because of the snow and the ice, and I have [...]

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 [...]

By the way, I wanted to offcially announce that John graduated and has finished his BA in English. We’ve both still got a long way to go with school and our goals, but this is a significant achievement, one that has taken him many years and much wandering to accomplish. In some ways, [...]
