Michael is purposely toying with me

May 15, 2007

I'm doing another day of the blog version of phoning it in. But, hey, don't ever say I don't tell y'all interesting stuff about me. Scenic Overlook tagged me for another meme forever ago. (Seriously people tell me, I had no idea). Three Things That Scare Me: 1. Something happening to Michael (an obvious one, [...]

I was tagged for a game of "Chinese Freeze Tag" ages ago by A Madison Mom. (I'm sorry this took me a while. Next time, tell me. I found out when I did a technorati search.) Here's how to play: – I'll write 10 (hopefully) interesting facts about me and/or habits of mine. – I'll [...]

Take a nap, take a nap, take a nap. Please, please, please take a nap. Why won't you take a nap? I'll give you a million dollars if you take a nap. What the fuck, take a nap. Take a fucking nap. Michael, seriously, your Grandparents are coming over and I need you to nap. [...]

May 11, 2007

Kristen, parent bloggers, and light iris, have all asked bloggers to answer this question. And my answer is, I don't know. Some would argue a mother is someone who gives birth to a child, but I don't believe that. Lots of people don't give birth to a child and are mothers. And, lots of people [...]

Happy Birthday to Me

May 9, 2007

I'm 32 today. 32. What a boring birthday. It's over 30 but not as exciting as 35 or 40. And the worst part, my husband is on a business trip. I'm spending my32nd birthday with my parents.

May 8, 2007

I complain a lot about the "No!" and the whining and the demands- But yesterday Michael was playing on the floor and out of nowhere got up, walked over to the couch, threw his arms around me and said, "I love my Mommy."

I’m in big trouble now

May 6, 2007

I've been at my parents beach house for a few days, and Michael's room has a crib and 2 sets of bunk beds (for my nephew and friends) and an attached bathroom. We were playing in the room and I went to the bathroom. When I came back in he had climbed up to the [...]

In my abscence, pictures

May 4, 2007

I'm heading out of town for a few days, so things will be quiet around here. But, I leave you with pictures of Michael's first carousel ride. He loved it. I thought I was going to vomit. I used to ride roller coasters, and a simple merry go round made me go pale and get [...]

Let’s call an end to this war

May 3, 2007

(I wrote this post before my appearance last night on blog talk radio. But, it so fits in with the things we were talking about last night. If you do not hear the show, you can click here.) And I'm not talking about the war in Iraq, although I definitely think that needs to end. [...]
