This is what our house looks like at 11:00 at night. He’s a night owl and I’m still trying to find a way to change that. Now do you understand why we let him sleep in our bed? We gotta get some sleep some time, some how, some way, ya know.

One Hundred
Posted in Blogging, Community, This and That on November 30, 2008 | 3 Comments »
This is my 100th post. I thought maybe it would be a good time to talk about what I get out of this whole blogging thing, why I do it, and what I’m hoping to achieve with it.
For me the decision to blog came slowly. I had watched other friends and family do it and [...]
Movie Nights

Big and I love watching movies. Before we had Shorty we’d watch several movies a week. We also watched several TV series. Big preferred to own movies on DVD and enjoy them in the pleasure of our own home, but every once in awhile we’d actually go to the movie theater and watch it on [...]
Do You Facebook?
Posted in Community, Facebook, General, This and That, friends on November 22, 2008 | 6 Comments »
It finally happened. I’ve been lured into the web of Facebook. I blame this on Big. He signed up and started getting pinged by people he hadn’t heard from in years. Naturally, I got curious when he couldn’t seem to tear himself away from the computer. So, I caved and signed up too. Now I’m [...]
Rough Day

It’s round two of Clomid use. Be thankful you are safely on the other side of cyberspace. The two-headed, bitchy monster is back. So far today I’ve yelled, cried, and experienced the usual Clomid headache. Couple that with the fact that today would have been the due date of the second baby I lost and [...]

Two Men, A Grocery Store, and Me
Posted in Changes, Children, Community, Complaints, Food, General, Household, Husband, Shopping, This and That, Women on November 19, 2008 | 3 Comments »
Here’s a situation I found myself in at the grocery store this past weekend. It’s been on my mind ever since so I guess that means it’s time to blog about it.
Sunday afternoon, while stuck in a traffic jam in a crowded aisle at the grocery store, a man, let’s say in his sixties, tried very [...]
Beauty of Childhood
Posted in Children, Family, Motherhood, Parenting, Pleasures, Uncategorized on November 16, 2008 | 3 Comments »
The last few weeks as I’ve worried and stressed and run around like a crazy person trying to have a second child have given me a new appreciation for the child who already calls me Mommy. It’s easy to get caught up in the super fast pace of life in which we’re always in a hurry and [...]
Exploration into Motherhood

When I was in my early twenties I thought that becoming a mother would be easy. After all, everyone else seemed to be doing it and no one I knew ever had any problems. Then when I was in my early thirties, married, and ready to become a mother I discovered that wanting something does [...]
Alarming Reaction
Posted in Basement, Bonehead Moves, Children, Family, Motherhood on November 8, 2008 | 2 Comments »
Today I managed to scare the living daylights out of Shorty. Not only did I scare him to death but I handled the situation wrong. I feel horrible. Here’s how it went down.
Big was out of town so I had our security alarm set. I forgot to turn it off before going to the basement. [...]
