I’m alive! And Awake!

Brian’s nocturnal activities sent me to sleepyland by 7 last night. It was so glorious until he woke up again in the middle of the night. He kept jumping on me in bed. He knew though that it was still “bedtime” until the sun and sky got up. But since he was in bed, he […]

Ughh

Brian has turned into a terrorist. He gets up at all hours of the night, flipping on the lights, disturbing everyone’s sleep, jumping on anyone with a pulse. Max keeps yelling at him to turn off the light and leave him alone. Kevin ran away and said, “Don’t bother me until the sun is up,” […]

Picture post!

Kevin twittered it, but this picture deserves a real post of its own: Max at BarCampDC\ He looks so professional!\ Plaid shirt? Check.\ Short-sleeve plaid shirt? Check.\ Back pack? Check.\ ID tag? Check.\ Animated expression while talking about computery stuff? Check.

My boys

Kevin and Max spent Saturday at a computer conference-thingie. Max loved it. Much more than I was expecting. He did utilize the markers and paper I sent along though. He wants to present sometime on animation and scratch. I am not sure what computer professional would want to listen, but hey- go for it, kid. […]

One of these days I might have something highbrow to say.

Here is my decorating horoscope: Loves antiques, florals, greens and blues, comfort and luxury, romantic touches. \ Could this be any more wrong? Comfort doesn’t count because who wants to be uncomfortable? I have a lot of blue in my house because my husband likes it, but will admit to liking green.\ You can check […]

Bad Mommy # 4 and # 183

Last week over dinner, we were talking about the time and Kevin said, “Six o’clock.” Hmm, scintillating story so far, huh? Have you on the edge of your seats, right? Anyway, Brian says, “Fuck.” Kevin and I snicker but mostly ignore Brian. He says it again and again. Turns out he was trying to say, […]

Random emo story time.

Babies, babies everywhere!\ A friend of mine is pregnant, my cousin is pregnant, my neighbor is pregnant, and my other neighbor had a baby two weeks ago. Lots of babies everywhere, which is awesome because talking about babies is so much fun and exciting. Wheeeee! I love it! But having a baby, taking care of […]

Stuff on my mind.

Brian-speak update: Brian tries to call Max, “Maxy Max,” like Kevin does, but it comes out, “Beh-Dant.” Seriously. It’s hard to describe. I keep telling Kevin that we NEED to get it on video. It’s cute and we know what he is saying (the inflection matches) but it’s kind of odd, yes? Brian calls that […]

Bah humbug to plain curtains!

When I grow up I want to be a buyer for department stores specializing in curtains so that I can eliminate the 14 different kinds of solid moss green curtains and get some variety in the selection. I went out looking for blue patterned curtains and didn’t find anything but solids, solids, and more solids. […]

Yay for surprises!

Here is the cute story of how Sharon told Aunt Margie about the baby.\ Tim and Monica, Kev’s brother and sister-in-law, did something similar at Christmas when they were expecting their first child. It was fun.\ When I was newly expecting Brian, I wanted to tell my parents in a cute way and in person […]
