Last night I woke up to feed G and couldn’t go back to sleep for a little while. Why? Because I had a brilliant idea. Or perhaps a crazy idea. Or even a really bad idea. Probably an idea that someone else has had already, but I only just thought of it, so it’s my […]

Baby’s first birthday: Who’s the party for?
So the other day I got an email from my MIL, a wonderful woman. A wonderful woman who sometimes confuses the heck out of me. The email she sent was to say she’d found a particular high-chair that she thought might be good birthday gift for G, to have at her house for when G […]

A rock and a hard place
This makes twice today that I read someone else’s post and was inspired to write my own. Only this one wasn’t pleasantly wacky and funny. This one hurts. And that’s why I’m writing it. I hope some of you share this, it’s important for these things to be spoken of. First, go read Kate’s post […]

Now I lay me down to sleep…
Roaming through my Reader this morning I came upon All Fooked Up’s post about sleep medication. It tickled my funny bone, and reminded me of a similar incident in my own life. I started writing it out as a comment on her post, but then decided that everyone should hear it. ‘Cause you know, it’s […]

My Life In… Song (part 2)
Sundays are heaven at my house, because my husband is awesome, and I am a heathen. During the week, M gets up at 7 with G and I get a blessed hour (sometimes more) of sleep to myself in bed, all alone. This is what he offered to do since he’s not up with G […]

Hockey Recap
Last night M took me to a hockey game for my birthday (it’s not quite my bday yet, but that was the closest game we could get with good seats and an interesting opposing team). It was wonderful. We won. There were no fights, so I’m not going to write about that today. Instead I’d […]

Red Writing Hood: Say What?
Useless! Jane’s head whipped around to stare incredulously at Tom. “What did you just say?!” Tom’s face grew hot under Jane’s focused stare. He hadn’t meant to say that out loud. Damn! “Oh, I’m sorry,” he said, flint coming into his eyes, “was that my outside voice?” This was how they always started, their arguments. […]

Punting
OK, I’m ashamed to say that I have nothing to say today. But, there’s the god of NaBloPoMo to appease, so here I am anyway. I’m just glad that appeasing the NaBloPoMo god doesn’t require sacrifice in a volcano, although at least that would give me something interesting to write about. Then again, I’d be […]

Yeah, that’s right, I was a kid in the 70’s
I shimmied. I John Travolta’d. I hustled. And let me tell you, it’s a b**ch to hustle without a partner. I clapped, I jived. I even used *gasp* jazz hands. And when I head Donald Duck sing “Boogay, boogay” I fell over laughing, and so did G (in his crib where he can still fall […]

Thankful Tuesdays: It Really Could Have Been Worse
Dear G, I’d like to take a moment to thank you. Last night when you woke up at 12:45 AM, you were very considerate. Thank-you for allowing me to hold you down so that you wouldn’t climb on the headboard. And especially, thank-you for not screaming bloody murder when I did so. Thank-you for not […]
