It’s Abby’s first day of school again. She was in our room at 5:45 because she was so excited. Being a good girl, she silently climbed in bed between us and lay there quietly (if not restfully) until 6:00 at which point she stage-whispered “Daddy, get up. It’s time for school.” Breakfast commenced and then we [...] We went to a lovely indoor BBQ this past weekend. It was scheduled to be an outdoor BBQ, but alas, Mother Nature had other ideas and instead sent monsoons to plague us. The shindig was held at the home of our wonderful friends Liz and Mike and their 2 adorable children Sammy (age and [...] I know that the easiest way to keep my blog going is to post something every weekday, even when I don’t think I have anything to write about. So forgive me as I write what is unlikely to be my all-time favorite post. It’s funny because I feel like I’m getting back in the swing of [...] No this post title does not refer to not-my-dog, who does in fact still live in my house. We’ve sort of decided that we’re not his owners, we’re his managers, at least for the time being. That’s all we’ll commit to. Go re-read his whole long, tragic history and you’ll understand my reluctance to calling [...] Rough translation: who has the bigger d*ck? See also: a pissing contest. Yesterday morning was rough. Abby got up, got dressed and fed the cat, all without much complaint or foot-dragging. She got complacently into the car and gave Daddy big kisses when he departed for the train. All seemed good. I should have known it was all [...] Scene: upstairs hallway at 6:00 a.m. [From downstairs] Mommy? I downstairs. Mmmmmph…? I getting a broom to sweep da sand outta my bed. Abby? Why is there sand in your bed? You know what? Mommy has to pee. You get started sweeping the sand. That’s a great idea. OK, Mommy. [Flush] Abby, now tell Mommy why there’s sand in your bed. Aaaaaaah!! [Sees [...] At any given time, my car contains 2 iPhones, an old iPod and a new iPod Touch. If all of those gadgets are in the car, then it’s likely to also be carrying a MacBook Pro. Plus at least 4 empty juice boxes. We spend a lot of time in our car. (Strike that. *I* spend a [...] I don’t usually do this, but I was writing a set of book reviews for AdoptingMamas today (to be posted later once we get the links working), and I had WAY more books to review than were appropriate there. So if you want books about adoption, go check out www.adoptingmamas.com today. If you want some [...] Like, does your 20 minutes on the elliptical still count as exercise if you follow it up with a caramel-pecan sticky bun? And why does Abby now need to get into our bed at 4:00 in the morning? Follow-up: when will it end?? Follow-up follow-up: When will she learn to be a better sleeper? This has [...] So, Saturday Abby and I attended her friend Taylor’s Princesses and Pirates birthday party! And it took place right! At! Naptime! Hooray! After refusing to so much as “take a rest” after waking up at 5:00 in the morning (oh yeah, have I mentioned the 5:00 wake up calls we’ve been getting every morning?? It’s just [...] |
