GO PHILLIES!!!!!

The Phillies just won the World Series.  WHOOOO HOOO!!!!  <Happy Dance, Happy Dance>
I just called my dad.  We watched the Phillies win in 1980.  My dad has been a fan for years.  He took both my brother and me to games when we were kids.  It’s so sweet to be able to call him and whoop [...]

A Few Things To Be Grateful For

I do a lot of whining and complaining so today I thought I would take a moment to share something for which I feel grateful.  I love my house and its location.  Everyday I am blessed to see some of life’s most beautiful scenes.
This morning Big and I looked out our kitchen window and saw several [...]

Just A Little Pet Peeve of Mine

This evening I saw something that drives me bonkers.  I was in CVS and standing in line behind me was a woman holding a baby about eight or nine months old.  Then I noticed the baby’s feet.  She was barefoot.  Now this may make me seem like an old biddy or something but why in [...]

Shorty and His Moments

Shorty is doing his best to make me second guess my parenting abilities.  This last week he did everything he could to make life as challenging as possible.  It started Thursday with Kindermusik.  We arrived late.  (My fault not his.)  Upon arrival we found one of the little boys in his class sitting on the benches [...]

You Win Some and You Lose Some

It’s been a crazy morning.  I was up at 6:00am to get dressed and ready for an appointment with the reproductive endocrinologist and his lovely team of miracle workers.  It’s funny how the legs that haven’t been shaved in about a week got shaved for this momentous occasion.  I mean who would want to poke [...]

Squish, Squish

There’s nothing like having your two year old critique your body.  Shorty’s latest mommy ego buster is to lift my shirt, take his two little hands and pinch all the fat around my middle, and say, “Squish, Squish.”  He finds this amusing.  So does Big.  Me, not so much.
Remind me why I’m trying to have [...]

An Urgent Feeling That EVERYTHING Has To Get Done NOW!

Please excuse me while I lose my mind yet again.  It must be the Clomid and all this trying to have another baby crap that’s the driving force behind all this.  I have this feeling that EVERYTHING that I have not done since we moved here three years ago needs to be done NOW.
I’m looking around my [...]

We Need the Vacuum!

It never fails.  Shorty has impeccable timing.  I’m whacked out on fertility drugs and he’s pulling all his best stunts out.  I know I’ll laugh about this someday but right now I need a drink, a massage, and a day to myself and none of it is coming anytime soon.
Yesterday, Shorty managed to get hold [...]

C-Day

Today I took the first dose of Clomid.  I’ve been given five pills and have been told to take one a day for the next five days.  Now I sit on pins and needles wondering how I will react.
Let me roll back the clock three years.  It was October and after three years of fruitlessly trying [...]

Monkey See, Monkey Do

Well, today I saw exactly what Shorty is learning from me.  It’s quite an experience to see yourself through the actions of your child.
We’ve been slowly trying to introduce the potty to Shorty.  I say slowly because I’ve been trying to introduce this same potty for many months now but he wants N-O, No parts [...]
