Broken Furniture Kinda Rocks
2008-04-21 22:34:00 It just dawned on me that maybe calling my fetus a slug wasn’t the most “motherly” thing to do. Everyone else calls their as yet unborn children cute things like “peanut” and “gummi bear”. I chose slug…maybe I should cut down on the salt. Broken things rock. Let me explain. When you’re looking for ... More About: Furniture , Kinda , Rocks
Moving In?Slowly
2008-04-17 20:52:00 I’m not sure what I’ve written about and what I haven’t and quite frankly, I’m too damn lazy to go back through my posts to figure it all out. [That’s my way of warning you that I might be repeating myself.] So I wrote about finding a house to buy. The house was damn ... More About: Moving
Found an Apartment
2008-04-13 17:20:00 Just a FYI to everyone that we found an apartment and are in the process of moving. Because of this, I’m having to box up the ole computer and move it. So, until I get the bugger hooked back up and get some groovy internet, I’ll be offline. Shouldn’t be too long till things are up ...
We Might Have a House
2008-04-08 16:13:00 I am amazed at the state that some people leave a house when they move out. When Tucker and I left that piece of shit apartment in Florida, we spent a day cleaning the fucking place. It wasn’t that it was that bad, but there were things that we were used to that someone else ... More About: House , A House
And the House Hunting Begins
2008-04-02 20:01:00 Yesterday was spent almost entirely in Jonesboro. We left the in-laws’ house [where we’re currently living] around 9:30 and dropped the rugrat off at my mom’s house. Much fun was had by all, I am sure. We spent the next three hours at ASU trying to get Tucker enrolled back into classes and many hoops were ... More About: House , The House , Hunting
Odd Response
2008-04-02 18:37:00 * I just want to warn everyone that I upgraded to version 2.5 of Wordpress and my mind has officially turned to mush. Please bear with me while I try to get used to this odd, scary layout. * I remember way back before I really knew what a blog was I used to read ... More About: Response
Upgrading Wordpress
2008-03-31 18:27:00 I seriously need someone to hold my hand. I’m considering upgrading my Word press since my damn site won’t let me forget that my current version is out of date. Maybe that’s why I haven’t posted in so long; I’ve been avoiding my site’s scorn. Ok. That’s not the real reason. The real reason is that my routine has ...
Doctor Hell and Grasshoppers
2008-03-25 15:48:00 Have you ever been just so done with something that you don’t want to talk about it? Like the particular thing is so damn draining that just discussing it makes you tired? Yeah. That’s where I am right now. What really sucks is that I can’t talk about it here because the person that it’s about is ... More About: Hell , Doctor
Animal ABCs Saved My Trip
2008-03-25 15:05:00 Cara loves Barney. Cara loves animals. So, it stands to reason that Cara would love the two being put together with music. Personally, I ignore Barney. He’s a purple thorn in my side and he and I tolerate each other. But, Barney was like a big ole purple angel about a week ago. That’s when we drove 16 hours ... More About: Animal , Trip
Focus on the Strengths
2008-03-21 02:39:00 Comparing your child to your neighbor’s or friend’s kid is a nasty little oft ignored secret of being a parent. It is incredibly hard to discount the toddler who is counting to ten when your child is content to sit with his finger up his nose. Jenifer Fox, M. Ed. offers a way around this minefield of ...

The Flood
2008-03-19 15:58:00 We moved from Jacksonville, FL on Saturday. The temperature was in the 70’s and it was dry. Actually, it had been dry for quite a while. Then we moved to NE Arkansas and it was COLD AS HELL…if hell were cold. No big deal. I’ve just been wearing the only long sleaved shirt that I packed ... More About: Flood
We?re Here
2008-03-19 00:31:00 Testing. 1. 2. 3. Is this thing still on? Hi. My name is Amy and I’m a very bad blogger. If I were a real blogger then my moving 16 hours wouldn’t have kept me from posting the minute details of my life. But, since I don’t have a laptop [insert sob here] I wasn’t able to blog from ...
Sitting On Our Hands
2008-03-10 18:59:00 I did not realize that I haven’t posted in four days. I knew that it had been a few days…but four days seems a bit pathetic doesn’t it? I’ll just blame it on Tucker and Call of Duty 4. We’re currently in a moving “holding pattern”. The packers come to pack us up tomorrow at like ... More About: Hands
Barf
2008-03-06 14:13:00 [You’ll understand the title once you watch the video.] There was a fire night before last in the closet that houses our internet hub so I’ve been without internet for a while. Good thing I warned you that posting would probably be light, huh. Now we have a MANDATORY inspection by the cable people and the maintenance people ...
Dealing with Addiction
2008-03-04 17:25:00 Not mine. Tucker’s. My internet was disconnected this weekend and connected to Steve. You see, my husband discovered the wonders of online Call of Duty 4 and before I knew it, we were off to Target to buy a crappy Bluetooth headset so that he could talk smack to the other losers guys. Well, I guess that’s ... More About: Addiction
VBAC Hell!
2008-02-29 18:53:00 For those of you who don’t know, I had a section with Cara. She was 8 days postdate, tachycardic and had a major heart decel. So, I was induced. The induction failed [imagine that] and I stalled at 5 or 6 cm. The section was actually amazingly easy for me and I would have left ... More About: Hell
Lunch and Anxiety
2008-02-27 16:31:00 You see that yummy sandwich to the left? Yeah. That’s what I’m eating for lunch today. I had an appointment with my shrink this morning but she had to cancel on me. I’m already showered and dressed and have makeup on and stuff so why waste it. My medical records are being held hostage by the Base right ... More About: Lunch , Anxiety
Desktop Roundup
2008-02-27 15:41:00 My boss at FPSRantings.com tagged me at IronicGamer.com to display my desktop. His theory is that you can tell a lot about people by looking at their desktops. So, I’ve decided to move the meme over here and see how many of you guys will play. I’m only going to tag two people because I usually really dislike ... More About: Desktop , Roundup
Parenting Choices Guaranteed to Cause Guilt
2008-02-25 17:52:00 I’m a member of a couple of mommy message boards. For the most part, the people on these boards are supportive and fairly open minded. Can you believe that a group of women can actually remain civil when it comes to the topic of parenting? One thing that has become startling apparent to me in the past couple ...

Dresses
2008-02-25 16:15:00 I had no intention of writing about maternity dresses when I woke up this morning. When I was pregnant with Cara, we lived 14-16 hours away from our extended families and because of that geographical convenience, I was excused from family get-togethers that would have required anything dressier than a cute maternity shirt and jeans. It looks ... More About: Dresses
Zygomatic Booboo
2008-02-23 21:39:00 Have you ever been headbutted by your kid? It hurts like hell! Then again, I’m assuming that getting headbutted by anyone would hurt but at least if it occurred during a bar brawl you’d have the benefit of liquid courage/liquid pain reliever. I didn’t have that last night. Cara was sitting on my lap and throwing ...
Beck
2008-02-22 14:40:00 I was hesitant to write anything about giving up Beck but it’s a big deal and was bound to “come out” eventually. We have considered “rehoming” Beck for a very long time…before I even became pregnant with Cara. Beck was abused before we got him and he has some “quirks”. When it was just Tucker and ...
Poor Cara
2008-02-22 13:21:00 My poor kid’s having “emotional issues” today. I don’t know if she had a bad dream last night or what but there are definite storm clouds over Cara ’s head this morning. I went in at 6 am to change her diaper and found the side of her crib down. Considering that she is a Bonobo incarnate, I ... More About: Poor
Sweet Vindication
2008-02-19 18:37:00 I passed my 3 hour glucose test. How much does that rock? The only number I have is the very last draw and that was a 50. No wonder I was shaky and pukey feeling when I got home. Anyway, my midwife said that my numbers were “borderline but normal”. But, from what the nurse told me when ... More About: Sweet

Let?s [not] Get It On
2008-02-13 18:52:00 Ah, sex. The international language of love. On the day before Valentine’s Day, you can’t really choose a more perfect topic of conversation. Everyone knows that having sex - and lots of it - is the key to happiness. Right? Well, not if you ask Dr. Ian Kerner. [I call him “doctor” cause he’s a ...
Woman Annoyed at Moving and Self
2008-02-12 16:29:00 One of these days I’m going to have a rockstar day. I know it’s coming. But, for now, you’re gonna have to read about the “valleys”. I got up this morning and started reading the news and looking for new dinnerware since I’m considering trashing our old mismatched stuff when we move. [I like ... More About: Moving , Woman
Woman Pissed at Blood Glucose Levels
More articles from this author:2008-02-11 17:52:00 I called and got the results of my 1 hour glucose test. 169. That’s really fucking high. So, Friday I get to go do the three hour test. I did that test with Cara and it’s really not as big of a pain in the ass as everyone makes it out to be. Take a book. Tucker’s ... More About: Woman , Blood , Pissed 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 |
