Someone please help me

December 14, 2007

My toddler, 3 months shy of his third birthday, has stopped sleeping through the night. He has slept through the night consistently since he was 4 months old. Since August he has been up every night, sometimes once, sometimes 5 times. It is making for a very cranky Michael and an even crankier Mommy. Help [...]

Clearly, I need more to do

December 13, 2007

I've spent the last few days planning Michael's 3rd Birthday party. It's in 3 months. But it's going to be adorable! Carnival theme! Clown Cake. (Hopefully). No, Christmas, Hanukkah, New Years, vacation in a month, all things to be worried about. Michael's party, not so much. And in my continuous effort to never be home, [...]

Let the Merriment Begin

Things that can only happen to me, they keep happening, only to me

December 11, 2007

My biggest pet peeve in life is poor customer service. And it seems to be all around me. Shoddy work and people who don't care if you walk away from their company. I had a really ridiculous experience recently with a very famous spa. (And no, that was not the spa from yesterday. I really [...]

Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous

December 10, 2007

I was recently trapped for an hour listening to two woman talk about how their live in nannies were taking advantage of them and they were stay at home moms who needed more help. It doesn't matter how I was trapped (fine, I was getting a pedicure and they were in the two chairs across [...]

DCMM: A weekend in the French Countryside, without leaving the DC area

December 9, 2007

y husband and I recently had the wonderful opportunity to go away for the weekend without Michael.  Don't get me wrong, I love my kid.  But I also love sleeping in and uninterrupted conversations with my husband. We stayed at L'Auberge Provencale, a lovely inn just 90 minutes outside of D.C.  It actually felt like [...]

And forever to a two year old is how long exactly?

December 7, 2007

I have been home with a sick Michael for the past couple of days. When he is sick I let him watch as much TV as he wants. When I'm sick I just want to lie on the couch and watch TV, so I don't think it's fair to enforce a one hour TV rule [...]

It’s a Blues Clues Hanukkah

December 6, 2007

This is the first year we have done Hanukkah with Michael and I have been very excited about it. In the past we did not give him presents. We figured he was too young to understand and our families spoil him rotten, the last thing he needed was more crap. So we put money in [...]

Feel Free to Hate Me

December 4, 2007

I almost don't want to admit this because I am worried you will never read me again or throw things at your computer screen. I'm done holiday shopping. I know, I know, how is that possible? Well, one, Hanukkah is tonight so I had to get that done early. And I hate shopping the later [...]
