I’ve been an adult for half of my life now. That’s kind of a scary thought, and you’d think I would be further along in my quest for personal awesomeness. But whatev, I’ve got some episodes of The Vampire Diaries to catch up on so I don’t have time to over-analyze. Cheers!

No mo’ babies!
Last week Max said he wanted another baby in our family. I don’t want to disappoint my kids, but seriously? Not happening. At least not if I get to be in charge. I love that my kids are no longer babies. I no longer have to worry about: SIDS Whether to get the 18 month… Continue reading No mo’ babies!
News of the Mundane
(Exciting title, right?)\ Last week in Virginia, I burned the tip of my index finger while making a craft with a hot glue gun. It became a normal blister, with a squooshy, liquidy middle. It hurt immediately, so I stuck ice on it all night. By the next morning, it stopped throbbing but would hurt… Continue reading News of the Mundane

My favorite time of the year
Before I went to the grocery store today, I had eight different types of fresh fruit in the house (and I didn’t count faux-fruit like tomatoes or cucumbers). YAY Spring!
Excuse me while I go throw up.
From an article at CNN.com about Brown University, “For this year’s graduates, tuition and expenses came to a four-year total of about \$180,000 each.”
Stupid Things #312 and #8401
Max’s school requires a doctor’s note after the 5th absence. How lame is that? Not if he’s sick for more than five days in a row, but for the whole school year. Grrr. It’s because they want to know whether a kid should be passed or failed, but that decision should be made independent of… Continue reading Stupid Things #312 and #8401
A new way to tell that I am O-L-D.
Max and Brian are in Virginia this week visiting Kevin’s family while I unpack. Yay for everyone involved, right? All of the bedrooms in the new rental house are painted brown. This is fine for most of the rooms, but not the boys’ room. I immediately started thinking of ways to lighten and brighten it.… Continue reading A new way to tell that I am O-L-D.
Brian also gets his toes from his dad!
Brian has asthma. Woe. But just a little bit. “A whiff,” is how the doctor described it. The technical term is “mild and intermittent.” It used to be called “reactive airways disease,” which is a more accurate description according to the doctor. But, disease? DISEASE? Double woe. Anything with the word “disease” is bad.\ Brian’s… Continue reading Brian also gets his toes from his dad!
Stop me if you’ve heard this before…
Who is the target customer for the Valentine’s themed over-sized balloons and stuffed animals? I can’t imagine an adult male buying them and don’t think there are enough teens in the country. I ponder this every time I am faced with ‘that certain aisle’ in practically every store I frequent.
