The perils of taking a child to the bathroom

July 17, 2007

This post reminded me of a funny story. (As a side note, Allison's story is not at all funny, and I'm not in any way implying it is). In December I took my 5 year old nephew to see High School Musical the concert. (I am such a cool aunt). Right before it was about [...]

Happy Birthday Cake

July 16, 2007

People like to say that the person you marry should become your best friend. But, the person I married was my best friend, even before we started dating. And in the (almost) 6 years we have been married, our love, and more importantly, friendship, grows everyday. He is the only person who knows the complete [...]

And the answer is

July 13, 2007

I want guacamole. (Sorry, no one guessed that, and therefore, no $20). Yep, my two year old screamed for 20 minutes that he wanted guacamole. He threw himself on the ground kicking and screaming because he wanted guacamole. I didn't have any guacamole in the house, and even if I did, I wouldn't have given [...]

July 13, 2007

I just have no idea what to say about this. Really,we are kicking people off of planes because their toddler can't be quiet? Why do I think there has to be more to this story. And if there isn't, this airline should be ashamed of themselves, and that women should sue. I hate flying. I'm [...]

Let’s play a game

July 12, 2007

Tonight Michael threw himself on the ground and screamed the same sentence over and over for 20 minutes. It came out of nowhere. I finally gave up and put him to bed early because I could no longer handle it. And of course, Doug was out for the evening when this occurred. If anyone can [...]

More random randomness

July 11, 2007

One of my favorite bloggers, and people actually, Allison, posted an 8 random things about me meme, and challenged her readers to do the same. Since I'm so in love with the meme, and really, it's an excuse to not have to come up with something to write about it, I jumped on the bandwagon. [...]

Of Mice and Men

July 10, 2007

Michael enjoyed a huge rite of passage for every American child today, a trip to Chuck E. Cheese. It's 700 degrees in DC, and we already saw Ratatouille while at the beach, so we needed an indoor activity. And he loved it. Especially the rides. The bigger the kid the ride was meant to entertain, [...]

Random Randomness

July 9, 2007

A bunch of things running around in my head, in no particular order- 1. We are going to go to Sesame Place soon. Before everyone screams, no don't do it, this will be the first time we have taken a vacation just us, no extended family. Any tips? Advice? Discount codes? Damn that place is [...]
