Kevin? Mommy? Dr A?

I totally empathize with Superman

For Intl Day of Awesomeness, I donated blood for the first time in years. They tested my blood and told me that I am negative for a common virus, which means my blood is more pure than most (I think they said 95% of the population). This means that my blood is needed for premature […]

Brian is a mini-me!

I had a conference with Brian’s teacher today. My first one for him. The teacher, Miss Deborah, said that she thought he was special needs when she first met him, but a couple of days later she realized he wasn’t. She also said that he is needy, and cries if the slightest thing is wrong; […]

After the burrito…

Here is a follow up post from Amalah: Check it out.\ I read her post and can sympathize, but can’t empathize at all. Kevin and I are great, solid, blah blah, all sorts of schmoopy good things, blah blah.\ But truthfully, if I could go back in a time and not have kids? I would […]

Brian and Jen’s Birthday Party!

We had a lovely birthday party for Jen and Brian. It was a lot of fun and Brian was a little ball of energy. He was so excited, he couldn’t sleep and came downstairs several times saying, “I’m done going to sleep now.” The rest of the pictures are up on Flickr. Enjoy!

Brian the birthday boy!

Picture post!

This is the only photo of the four of us taken in the last three years. Sad, huh? I guess one of us is usually behind the camera.\ Three years earlier we had this taken. Too bad it’s in black and white: I want to get a real family photo, but I am obsessively paralyzed […]

Kevin works hard for his money, so hard for his money…

They say you shouldn’t go grocery shopping when you’re hungry or else you’ll spend a fortune and buy everything. Well, apparently you shouldn’t go toy shopping when happy and energetic or else you’ll spend a fortune and buy everything. I finished up Brian’s birthday shopping today and went way overboard. I even bought stuff for […]

Max’s schoolwork 2

Favorite Food Mom Makes\ What is it: Macaroni and Cheese.\ How it is made: take a plastic thing mac n’ cheese and put it in the microwave for 30 seconds.\ ****\ She is so nice and she is honest to me. She let’s me have reading time before bed. She is like 2170 pounds of […]
