The One-handed Juggler

The host with the most

Last night, my neighborhood had an impromptu block party, or what we refer to as "Beer Friday". We all gathered in the cul-de-saq to drink and chat while the kids ran around like animals. Y'know, good times. My son and the other 3-year old boy...

This is getting ridiculous

Since 19 November, G has had an ear infection and a stomach virus. Now, today, he comes down with a fever, headache, fatigue, and sore throat -- classic flu symptoms. It's 3am and I've been up since midnight because he running another fever and...

Simple equations

3-year old + stomach flu x being a "single" mom = sucks "single" mom + stomach flu x healthy 3-year old = REALLY sucks

It's never too early...

to learn good grooming skills: FYI -- no, I'm not corrupting my little boy. It's getting colder and I don't like him going to bed with wet hair. Especially since he's getting over an ear infection.

Way too early in the morning for that!

2008-11-18T02:59:28Z

It was about 9am this morning and I was sitting in Starbucks. I had dropped G off at the CDC and I had some studying to do. I took my normal place - in the corner, next to the window, facing the door - and began to research a paper I'm working ...

You called me what?!

2008-11-08T02:40:25Z

I know there comes a day when all kids realize that their parents have other names besides "mom" and "dad". I just didn't expect G to make the connection so soon. Tonight at night-night time reading, I was answering a question of his pertaining ...

What would you do?

2008-11-01T21:51:36Z

My latest scenario: I'm stuck in a glassed-in shower with a cat soaked in tomato juice.* I look up to see my (almost) 3-year old grabbing an open box of baking soda and he begins to shake it. This is my so-called wonderful life. *no, Spot didn...

Getting lost

2008-10-30T01:27:08Z

This has been a doozy of a week. G has hit the Angry 3's and I am stressed to the limit with school and whatnot. Everything is such a struggle with the little man that by the time he's in bed, I'm ready too. Only, I usually have a ton of readi...

Skunked and Bleached!

2008-10-18T16:14:00Z

Last Sunday, I awoke to a skunked Spot. He had been out all night and showed up at the back door filthy. My mom, who was in town with my dad, went out to inspect him and immediately came inside holding her nose. Great. Not only is he covered ...
