The plight of the working mom

December 19, 2006

Daycare calls and says she has flood, I have to get Michael. I immediately drop everything, and go pick him up. On the way there I call Doug, who says "thanks." After I hang up, it occurs to me, why didn't I call him BEFORE I picked Michael up. Why didn't I see if he [...]

And otherwise Mrs. Linclon, how was the play?

December 19, 2006

We had a terrible time getting into the whole vacation thing after our 13 hour debacle. Savannah is beautiful, and the weather was amazing! 70 degrees during the day and 50 at night. We ate amazing food, and walked and walked and walked. Somehow I still came back 5 pounds heavier. I put way to [...]

The first day of our romantic trip to Savannah

December 18, 2006

(Or, how spending 13 hours in various airports kills the mood) As discussed earlier, I am a bad traveler. We got to the airport at 6 am for an 8 am flight, we were supposed to be in Savannah at 10 am, and had a whole plan for the day. We watched our flight get [...]

Back

December 18, 2006

A few months ago I said this. I was wrong, the best part of being away is knowing your baby is sleeping in the next room, and you will see him tomorrow. I missed Michael terribly. I expected to miss him, but not as much as I did. I've left him before, but this was [...]

December 13, 2006

Come tomorrow, my husband and and I will be on vacation, just the two of us. Michael is going to the my parents, we are going to Savannah. Home of Paula Dean, Midnight in the Good of Garden of Evil, and (hopefully) lots of romance for Jodi and Doug. So, there will be a lack [...]

Conquering the fear

December 12, 2006

I am terrified to fly. For years I did not do it at all, but Doug likes to travel, and I like us when we travel. We are always rejuvenated and more in love when we come back from vacation. With Michael, it's really hard to travel by ourselves. So, we fly out Thursday. And [...]

It’s hard deciding to be different

December 11, 2006

My last post, while true, was sort of a cop-out. Blaming it all on my bad pregnancy is not entirely fair. In the end, I just have no desire for a second baby. Michael was wanted, tried for, yearned for. I do not feel that again. It should be okay to say that. I am [...]

Backstory

December 10, 2006

(Or why you should be grateful I started this blog when my son was 20 months old.) I had a really bad pregnancy. I vomited daily, more than once a day for the first 4 months. Month 4 I picked up my nephew and threw out my back and was bed ridden for a few [...]

Why time outs don’t work in my house

December 9, 2006

We just started time outs w/ Michael. He has been misbehaving so much lately I figured we had to do something. I put him in time out today for jumping from the coffee table to the floor. Time out in our house is sitting on the stair for a minute, and I sit next to [...]

Is it a bad thing if my 21 month old is smarter than me?

December 9, 2006

How did this- Turn into this- This kid amazes me. We are leaving a store today, and Michael is walking, holding my hand. He starts saying,"Mommy, shoe fall down. Shoe fall down." I said, "it's okay, lets keep going," and I drag him along. He sits down, and says "No Mommy, shoe fall down!" I [...]
