I’ve been stressed out a lot lately… and pretty consistently for the last two years. It finally came to a head this week, and I decided I needed a break from everything. So, I decided that yesterday through Saturday, I would try to live completely without the internet: no blackberry, no laptop, no wi-fi, no […]
Kevin is home today and tomorrow- yay- to continue to get the house ready for the renovation. (We need to move some stuff, paint some stuff, find some stuff, and call some people.) The kids were being extra loud this morning and Kev woke up, ready to start the day around 7. A M. In […]
Kevin and I were sitting around the other day when one of us popped up, “You know, I think we need to up our yuppie status some.” The other replied, “I have just the thing! Let’s put Max in therapy!” And so we did.\ Tonight was the first visit for Max’s sleeping problem and it […]
The minute after Brian gets out of the bath, he finds the closest marker and draws all over his face. Grrrrr.
I made it back from the protest march safe and sound. Kevin put up some pictures on flickr. Go to the “photos” link above and clicky.\ The experience was interesting and great and sad and frustrating.\ CNN has some pictures up: Number six is my favorite as it shows what I felt. I couldn’t see […]
I’m posting daily photos of the ‘stache’s progress. Today marks the beginning of the return of the ‘stache lovingly known as The Cletus. The sideburns may follow, but I’ll have to go to the judges and see if that’s allowed in the rules.\ It’s never too late to donate , but why wait? It’s all […]
Last night Max and Brian slept in the same bed, as they sometimes do. A few minutes after being tucked in, Kevin and I heard Max crying. He gets sad at night and frequently cries (a story for another time), so we weren’t alarmed or surprised. Before we could get up to the bedroom, Brian […]
Brian went peepee in the potty today, of his own volition! That was the big triumph of the day.\ How was your day?
It’s started! For two months, I’ll be shaving every day, except for my mustache “area”. Yes, The Great Stache Off has begun! I have a goal of raising two thousand bucks for the Sean Kimerling Testicular Cancer Foundation () in two months. I’ve never really done anything like this, but, I think the idea is […]
I’m super tired and have heartburn for the fifth time this week, but it’s Friday. YAY!\ Kevin and I are gathering friends and family to attend our first protest; I guess we really are hippies now: ‘End the War’ March on Washington on September 15. Who else wants to go?
