Sometimes work just doesn’t fit into my schedule

January 19, 2007

Due to the nature of my job, which involves lots of trials, I have to give plenty of notice before I can take a planned vacation day. Yesterday, I went through with my boss and the person who sets my trials the days I know I am going to be out of the office, through [...]

Something else to feel guilty about

January 18, 2007

We don't have "family dinners" around here. Michael eats at 5:00 or 5:30, something I fix just for him, like chicken nuggets or fish sticks. I don't insist on him eating what we are eating. In fact, I don't even offer it to him. Doug gets home around 6:30 and plays with Michael for 30 [...]

Another Post about tivo

January 17, 2007

My new receiver arrived on Monday. Here is the thing, tivo has been working fine, and the new DVR is not a tivo, so I don't want to switch it. How embarrassed will I be to call Direct TV and tell them the tivo is working now and I don't actually want the new receiver, [...]

Busy, Busy, Busy

January 16, 2007

(Sung to the tune of Money, Money, Money). Sorry for the lack, and let's be honest, lame updates around here. My only blog entry was 3 pictures and 5 words, in 4 days, and discussions of my shopping habits. We had a jam packed weekend. It was, like, pre-baby jam packed. Plans Saturday night, Sunday [...]

More Cow

January 15, 2007

What Michael says when he wants to play with his horse-more cow- Any idea how I can teach my kid the difference in farm animals? Oh, and dinosaurs, he calls them "sanimals." I think it's animals with the s from dinosaurs. He'll get it before kindergarten, right?

Date Night

January 13, 2007

It's restaurant week in DC, which means that some of the nice restaurants downtown are offering special deals and menus. So, Doug and I are going out tonight, just the two of us, something that doesn't happen very often. Ironically, we went to the mall today just to walk around for a while and tire [...]

First Steps

January 11, 2007

Michael never took "first steps." He never even really crawled. He never held onto furniture and walked around it. He never let go and fell on his tushie. He never cautiously stumbled into my or Doug's arms. One day, a few days before his first birthday, he stood up and walked. I called Doug at [...]

The thing I never planned to blog about

January 10, 2007

Beth and I recently had a conversation about breastfeeding, inspired by this post. (As an aside, Beth is launching something really cool today, so please click over there). Michael was not breastfeed. I tried, I really did. A few hours after he was born he latched badly and one of my nipples became black and [...]
