Toddler Truth

In my quest to teach my boys all of the colors, I am often asking them what color something is. I usually follow it up by asking them to name something else that is the same color.
This morning while I was getting dressed, E was talking to me and I asked him what color my [...]

Generationally Speaking

When I was a kid, my best friend was Julie, and she lived across the street from me. She was one week younger than me, a fact I lorded over her even though she was a good 2-3 inches taller than I. Julie and I did everything together from about age 3 on. We sat [...]

One Sexy Gig

So yeah, we got the virus. Although sparingly. So far.

Last night as we put the kids to bed, Jonas spewed undigested corn all over the hallway carpet. This after he had spent an hour sitting on my lap (with bucket and towels nearby) telling me he was not sick. They made it through the [...]

Random Subjects

Things I would be musing about if I wasn’t so crazy busy this week:

Whether a car dealer with a radio commercial that has a hickish woman saying “I would buy from them again in a skinny minute.” really wants my business.

Dating Other People

Day of Reckoning

In-vitro wasn’t a small thing for me to [...]

Cringe Blogging

I finally feel like I am starting to “get” it at work and can go to a meeting without living in mortal fear that someone will ask me a question.
I had a meeting this morning at 11. I spent all morning working on some complex data and I was so into it [...]

As the Scale Tips

My husband has mild asthma. I say mild because it is under control. Once a year he goes in for his annual “breathing review”. I am sure there is probably some medical term for it, but that is what I call it.

So his “review” was yesterday afternoon. When he got home last night we [...]

Redecorating

Yes, I know I said I was trying to unclutter the blog, but JerseyGirl89 had to go and tell me about Pyzam and all of their fancy free blogger templates and this one just struck me.
Two cherries. For my two little guys. Because they didn’t have one with two cocktail weenies.
