Somebody has a case of the Mondays.
2008-05-12 17:52:00 Today: Boy-o’s cardiologist conferences with the pediatric cardiology team in Iowa City to discuss whether his current symptoms warrant (another) heart catheterization. He continues the antibiotics for his ear infection and nebulizer for bronchiolitis. Queenie had blood tests and x-rays. Her leg and hip are not broken. It may be a muscle pull. If it’s not better ...

Mr. Fancy Pants
2008-03-27 04:49:00 Where to start? It’s amazing how you can be so busy and still get so little done. I’ve managed to do nothing of note other than become completely and irretrievably addicted to Ravelry, much to the detriment of the housework and probably those two kids. Wait, two? That doesn’t sound right… let me move this ... More About: Pants , Fancy

Just call me Joan
2008-02-13 17:08:00 So our little Bon Bon is not so little these days. He is now 9 months old, highly mobile, and has developed quite the personality. He is affable, good-natured, impatient, curious, chewy, giggly, loyal, devoted, chatty, and most of all, dramatic. Such high drama from a little baby boy. No small thoughts or emotions ...

She?s no Rush Limbaugh
2008-02-09 17:18:00 Here at the moogly house, things are finally starting to drift back toward normal.

Sir Topham Hat is a Big Jerk
2008-01-30 16:42:00 The Evidence: 1. Waking the trains in the middle of the night because he decided he wants english muffins for breakfast. 2. Expecting a train to plan an impromptu picnic for his mother, and then blaming the train for a lack of good ideas, sending the train into a worried frenzy. 3. The nicest thing he can call ...

A Handful of Love
2008-01-23 21:26:00 Late last week, Queenie and Boy-o both developed little coughs. As it is January I thought little of it, beyond the usual “oh crap” that accompanies any hint of seasonal illness. Life continued apace. On Sunday we spent a relaxed evening with friends, in their new-to them home, surrounded by screaming, running, laughing children. Queenie’s cough ... More About: Love

Chocolate Labs are tasty!
2008-01-20 05:19:00 It’s review time again! Because you all care deeply what I think, and tailor your purchasing habits accordingly… I have a new wine recommendation: Chocolate Lab With 14.8% residual sugar, you know it’s sweet. And with 10% alcohol, it packs a sneaky little punch. Even better, it’s under $10 a bottle. But that doesn’t tell the full story. ... More About: Labs
The Sky May Be Falling: Apocalypse Watch 2008
2008-01-15 23:20:00 Today, Boy-o’s world was shattered. It was turned upside down and inside out. Things for him will never be the same. The sun was shining brightly in the sky. “Look mama!

Anything But This
2007-12-19 23:58:00 I have about a million and one things I need to do in the next few days, and even more on my mind - like the kids’ dentist appointment, where we learned we now need to add a plastic surgeon to Boy-o’s roster of doctors. So, as you know, this means I sit here instead. ...

Alex Baldwin kinda sucks.
2007-11-27 07:34:00 Live blogging from the couch: The bottle of Oak Leaf Pinot Grigio is 2/3 gone. Cost: $2.49 a bottle. It is a very simple, very very very light tasting wine.

More articles from this author:2007-11-10 05:49:00 Ugh. More toy recalls have been announced this week.
