It Was Kind of a Crazy Day

April 20, 2010 by Elaine

I left the gym tonight while it was dark and immediately hit the power lock. I looked in the back seat just to make sure I hadn’t locked someone in with me, instead of locked them out (paranoid much?). And that’s when I started laughing at the idea that anyone else could even FIT in…

I Kinda Wanted to Name This Post “She Sucks” But That Sounds Bad.

April 19, 2010 by Elaine

Katie Boo-sie Boo-sie Boo (my latest nickname for her) likes the paci. See, neither of the boys were pacifier kids so this isn’t something that I’m accustomed to. And yes, it has it’s advantages, like being able to stick in in her mouth while she’s playing on a blanket outside knowing that with it inserted…

I Couldn’t See…

April 16, 2010 by Elaine

We’ve been walking around the neighborhood almost every night with the kids in the last few weeks. Most of the time The B Man rides his too little for him “Thomas” bike while the baby and Little G go in the wagon. Some nights B doesn’t want to ride so in that case he and…

The Soundtrack of My Life

April 13, 2010 by Elaine

It’s the little boy laughter that echoes throughout the cavernous living room. It’s the music from the exer-saucer as baby’s hand smacks down. Is it something from the Baroque period? I’m not sure. It’s the swish of the washer and the tumble of the dryer. It’s the beeping of the microwave and the ice maker…

On Smocked Dresses and Free Address Labels and Moving

April 12, 2010 by Elaine

No, we are NOT moving again. It’s just that I still talk about the “big move” and things related to it quite a bit so it’s in the title of this post. K? K. Actually, it’s been over nine months since we moved and things are going well. Of course it has it’s “pros” and…

PSF – Time To Play

April 9, 2010 by Elaine

I had the idea to get something for the boys to play with out in the backyard. A “dual” birthday gift that would come in between their two birthdays (but for the time of year factor, MUCH closer to The B Man’s, since Little G’s isn’t until mid-May). So, we went to the local toy…

You Capture – Comfort

April 8, 2010 by Elaine

This little stuffed guy goes MANY places with my Little G. He’s been to Target (and almost lost there) too many times to count. And last weekend he even found himself on a destroyer ship. Yep, “Meow Meow” is well traveled. I like to think he brings my baby boy COMFORT. I know some of…

Weighty Issues

April 7, 2010 by Elaine

It’s a capped sleeve that no longer fits your arm… It’s a picture of yourself that you don’t want to see… It’s a number on the scale that makes you cry… Last night I cried myself to sleep because I feel SO ungodly fat right now. I know I’m not THAT big, but I’m big…
