Still Sick
2008-02-10 01:28:00 Just wanted to let everyone know that I’m still sick. My throat doesn’t feel like it’s on fire any longer, but now I’m coughing up green stuff. [Gotta love that mental picture] So, hopefully I’ll feel better tomorrow and I’ll have the motivation to give you the long version of Cara and my day on Friday. It might ... More About: Sick
I?m Taking the Day Off
2008-02-07 17:53:00 I’m sick, Cara’s sick and the fetus is sick. We’re all sick because Tucker was sick. Stupid Tucker and his infectious sickness. That’s what I get for not kicking him out until he got better. Luckily, Cara is actually laid back when she’s sick and has really just wanted to cuddle instead of wreaking havoc on the world. She’s ... More About: Taking
Stupid Base Nurses
2008-02-06 19:13:00 I was on my way out the door this morning and got a call from the base. This odd nurse told me that my numbers were “a little high” [139] and that I need to do the 3 hour test. I promptly told her that I wasn’t interested in doing the 3 hour test but that ... More About: Stupid , Base , Nurses
Back From My Midwife Appointment
2008-02-05 20:25:00 Man, today was one of those days. I had my midwife appointment at 9 am and then Cara had her 15 month appointment at 11:30. We all showed up at my appointment with bells on and basically got right in. The midwife wanted to talk to me first and so Tucker, Cara and I all hung ... More About: Back
I Wish That Everything was Moving
2008-02-04 17:25:00 We’ve found out the date that we’re moving! Actually, we found out when our stuff’s moving. I guess that’s a start. We still don’t know where we’re going to be living, but we figure that we’ll deal with all of that once we get back to Arkansas. *** Time to complain for just a minute. And I’m going to ...

Tea Recipes Rock!
2008-02-04 16:36:00 I received a copy of The Ultimate Tea Diet from Parent Bloggers for me to review. I thumbed through it and read the first couple of chapters. Mark Ukra [Dr. Tea] was easy to read and he was really upfront about the Tea Diet not being a magic bullet. That helped me ... More About: Recipes , Rock
Pingu - The Penguin with a Funny Voice
2008-02-01 15:26:00 This cute guy to the right is Pingu . Before PBN asked me to review Pingu - On Thin Ice, I had never heard of Pingu and his family. Yeah, I’m a bit behind the times since Pingu’s been around since the late 80’s. Anyway, I popped the DVD in and Cara thought it was a hoot. [Like the ... More About: Funny , Voice , Penguin
I Went Off My Meds
2008-01-31 15:55:00 You know how you always hear about crazy people “going off their meds” because they feel cured? Well, I succumbed to that stupidity this morning. Cara and I woke up kind of late and I felt just fine. We laid in bed and listened to NPR for a while and I still felt a-ok. No Zofran for me today. I sat down at the computer to check my email and was hit by a wave of nausea. And then I popped a Zofran. Guess I wasn’t cured after all. *** You guys know I smoke. Right? Let me clarify. I used to smoke cigarettes and my brain still does. Way to clarify, huh? Let me try this again. It’s bad to smoke when you’re pregnant. So, I quit smoking. But, my poor addled brain still thinks that I should be smoking. I did this same thing when I was pregnant with Cara. I quit smoking and was cigarette free until Cara was about two weeks old. I didn’t go through any withdrawal; I just quit. My body’s cool with the change but my brain is fighting ... More About: Meds
Kind of Busy
2008-01-30 18:42:00 Come on guys, you know that last post was funny. Why no comments? I’ve decided that shrinks should not be allowed to have kids…at least not kids who get sick. Cara and I got up and around EARLY this morning and I posted Wordless Wednesday posts on all of my websites, along with responses on a couple of mothering forums that I take part in. I was dressed; she was dressed. Out the door we went with tons of time to spare. On a whim, I decided to whip into Starbucks for a tall nonfat vanilla latte. [yum] And then I sat in the drive-thru lane for 18 minutes. Isn’t drive-thru supposed to be more convenient and fast? [Side note: I just looked up “drive-thru” and fast isn’t mentioned in the definition.] My appointment time with my shrink was very quickly approaching and I started digging in my bag for the phone only to find a missed call and voice mail…from my shrink’s office. “This is [insert name here] from Dr. Fox’...

The Baby Borrowers
2008-01-29 14:27:00 Have you seen the previews for this show? It’s apparently a widely popular show across the pond in Britain. Leave it to us Yanks to nab somebody else’s novel idea. The basic premise is that CBS takes five teenage couples who have never lived together but think that they want kids [insert eye roll here] and ... More About: Baby , The Baby Borrowers

2008-01-28 16:26:00 I had this post going about Charles being the devil. I got almost completely done with it and realized that one post about a mouse was probably enough. So, to sum up the entire post, Charles is an aggressive bastard. When I put water in his tank, he goes for my hand. You ... More About: Random
Zofran, I Love You!
2008-01-27 19:18:00 With Cara I had a twinge of morning sickness. The kind that kind of sneaks up on ya and either goes away on its own or with the help of the ever so helpful, Phenergan. This time around, my all day sickness took a look at the Phenergan, and saltines, and ginger tea, and ginger ... More About: Love , I Love You
Just Not That Motivated
2008-01-25 15:36:00 Hi, kids. Today is one of those days when I just want to crawl back into bed and go to sleep. We got slapped with a cold front and everything is chilly and my entire body is just begging to be covered up with a big ole blanket. Unfortunately, Cara woke up at 6 am and decided to ...

Barney Really Isn?t the Antichrist
2008-01-24 14:35:00 I think that Barney is one of those characters that people love to hate…especially parents. I despised him on principle alone and swore to anyone who would listen that my child would not be watching the obnoxious dinosaur. And then my child fell in love with Barney, just like millions of other children have around the world. ... More About: Antichrist

Hazing and Know-It-Alls
2008-01-22 15:28:00 I have two things that I want to bitch talk about. #1 Why do “experienced” moms feel the need to haze new moms? #2 Why do new moms feel the need to act like “experienced” moms have never had kids before? Let’s address #1…since it is first. Are there any soon-to-be moms out there? I ask because I’m positive ... More About: Hazing
And I had Science Friday Ready to Go
2008-01-19 17:30:00 Yesterday was a roller coaster day. [Hence the picture] I went to the doctor yesterday for my nausea. My appointment was at 10:40 am. Cara and I went alone since Tucker wasn’t able to get off of work. Not a big deal. An hour after my appointment and a short nap for Cara later, ... More About: Science , Friday , Ready

Yesterday Wasn?t Wednesday?

Simply Gargle
2008-01-14 17:25:00 When I was offered Simply Gargle to review by PBN, I had reservations. My mom is from the old school of home remedies and warm salt water gargle was always a mainstay. The gargle that Mom would make me could have given the Dead Sea a run for its money in terms of salinity. A couple of ...
Ten Things I Learned by Being a Mom
2008-01-13 16:00:00 1. Sleep is an overrated thing. 2. Thinking about tossing your child out of the window is normal; actually doing it is another thing all together. 3. Newborns’ stomachs are bottomless pits. 4. Poop and spit-up are invaluable topics of conversation. 5. Toddlers usually enjoy eating paper more than they enjoy healthy foods. 6.
