life with a new baby
Thought of the Day
Ok, where I live, this is something people do ALL THE TIME. It’s never ending. It happens to me, of all people, no matter where I park. And I don’t even have a car to be envious of! There seems to be this trend lately where people catch The Stupid and forget how to park their cars. They’ll park crooked. They’ll park right on the line. Hell, they even park OVER THE LINE.
And they’ll LEAVE IT THAT WAY.
Me? I can’t do it. It’s against my OCD nature. If my car is crooked or too close to the line, I re-park. Plus, it’s the considerate thing to do.
But obviously, not everyone is as considerate as I am.
Oh, if only I ruled the world…

A pain in the neck
about 6 days ago - No comments
Owwwww. And I do mean OWWwwWWwww. Yes, I am complaining. My neck is killing me, thanks to my extremely strong-willed toddler. I initially hurt my neck in December… it sucked, but compared to how I feel now, the pain was more of an aggravating nuisance. I was trying to get Nathan into his car seat and he bucked up More >
I’m not just mommy…

Lately, our cat Meeper has been antagonizing one of our other cats, Kayli. Meeper has been trying to “dominate” her, which is odd because he’s neutered. (All our cats are fixed.) At any rate, whenever he tries to be dominant, he makes this annoying loud meowing sound, and I’m always harping on him for his More >
Tis the season for… mischief!

BIG SIGH OF RELIEF. I have most of my Christmas shopping done! I spent all day Saturday braving the crowds, getting jostled by oblivious texters while walking crowded walkways. I seriously can’t stand people who text and conveniently forget that the world around them continues to revolve. Oh yeah. Speaking of texters, I was almost More >
At the end of our rope

Andrew, enjoying a brief stay under the tree. We caught him trying to poop under there one day (we’ve been having a year-long problem with him pooping outside the litter box) so we had to block it off with a fence to prevent him from getting under there. I love this cat, but I’m about More >
In which I rant a little about bad parenting
about 2 months ago - No comments
I’ve been working really hard with Nathan on cleaning up after himself when he makes a mess. We clean his room twice a day… once before nap time, and again before he goes to bed. I tell him that if he doesn’t want to clean up a huge mess, then he should either not get a More >
Repetitions will quickly get your attention. Believe me.

The other day, I was busy in the kitchen making Nathan his lunch. I was in a hurry because everything was timed… I was cutting up his fruit and making my sandwich while I had some broccoli steaming on the stove. Nathan kept getting right under my feet, pulling at my shirt, trying to get me to More >
Opposite Day. I mean week. I mean month.
about 4 months ago - No comments
I think Nathan must be going through something like an Opposite Phase. He says exactly the opposite of what he means. Me: “Nathan, you’re not minding me. Do you want time out?” Nathan: “Yes!” Me: “You do? You want time out?” Nathan: “YES!” Me: “Fine. Go to time out.” Nathan: “Yes, Mommy! I sorry! Yes, More >
Getting Underfoot
about 4 months ago - No comments
Why is it whenever you are busy doing something (such as making lunch), children have this inexplicable desire to stand RIGHT behind you in the exact spot where you can’t see them, causing you to trip over them, bump into them, or accidentally knock them down as you bustle about the room? Nathan has this More >
The bigger the group, the better. For Nathan, anyway.
about 5 months ago - No comments
Nathan is in this phase where he LOVES to group all his toys together. Especially when said group happens to be somewhere rather inconvenient. Like in doorways. Because I have a bad habit of not watching where I’m going (I know, how can I do that with a toddler in the house?), I end More >
Getting back to normal

So it turns out that my ninja-warrior antibodies aren’t so ninja after all. Yeah, I got sick. That sore throat morphed into a head cold. But on the bright side, I am doing exponentially better today than I was yesterday. I still have some cold symptoms but I don’t have a fever or that feeling of More >
