Catching Up on Some Me(me) Time.
2007-05-16 04:59:00 Confession- I truly suck at keeping up with memes. I see a new inbound link and my heart gets all pitter-pattery that someone was kind enough to think of me, and then next thing I know the kids are whining, the husband needs something, and *poof*, it flies right out of my head. It bugs ... More About: Time , Catch , Some
Spoke Too Soon.
2007-05-15 17:20:00 Doesn’t it figure, I ended up sick as a dog with the bug everyone else had over the weekend. I started feeling kind of yucky around lunchtime yesterday, and by 4pm I had to call Ian home from work. I slept from 5pm to 8pm, got up to watch Heroes, and then straight back to ...

A Quick Update on the Comment
2007-05-12 17:36:00 To my surprise I had an email this morning from the person who left the comment yesterday. She is someone I know from a private board, and she wanted to let me know it was her, and to apologize. In my not-so-perfectness, I’ve said a lot of things in the heat of the moment that ...

Seeing It in Black and White
2007-05-12 04:49:00 I meant to post this earlier, but between playgroup drama and watching 16 3rd graders so the teacher could have a lunch alone I totally forgot. Brendan’s speech teacher met with me this morning about his IEP for next year. Pretty much what I expected- vocabulary will continue to increase, work on articulation, yada yada yada. ...

A Perfect Parent, Reformed
2007-05-10 18:14:00 I wrote this on one of my mommyboards in response to a thread about what kind of cereal our kids eat, which drew the typical responses of how they only ate whole-grain, sugar-free sticks and twigs with milk. I realize lately we have been encouraged to post about what a *good* mom we are, and ... More About: Rugrats , Self , Perfect , Form , Rent
Success!
2007-05-08 15:14:00 For all that it would have been so much easier to go out and buy muffins than get up at the butt crack of dawn baking them, there is something VERY satisfying about having people in the office follow you into the teachers lounge going “Oh my gosh, did you MAKE those???

The Post That Isn?t
2007-05-08 05:00:00 I’ve had a couple of people notice I haven’t posted in a few days. I know, usually I can’t be shut up, right? I’ve been in something of a mood lately.

I Hated My Husband Last Night.
2007-05-03 18:50:00 I was miserable, and lay there in bed crying as I thought of the many ways he didn’t live up to my expectations, and why I should divorce him and move on. Then I woke up happy, feeling great, other than that my period seems to be coming on AGAIN. Fucking hormones. I swear sometimes I ... More About: Self , Night , Husband
Had the First PTA Meeting Last Night.
2007-05-02 14:29:00 Man oh man, talk about scary! I had debated almost all day what to wear yesterday, finally settling on a nice pair of khaki pants and a casual white blouse with beige strappy heels. I felt overdressed, but figured better over-dressed than under. I’m happy to say I nailed that one, no one was in ... More About: Night , First , Meeting
A Perfect Post for April.
2007-05-01 15:35:00 The word ‘mommyblogger’ is such a funny thing. To a lot of the outside world, it brings to mind images of women putting up silly little posts describing the most mundane details of their lives. Even a lot of mombloggers do not like the word, feeling that it places a label on them that can’t ... More About: April , Post , Perfect

I Remember Now Why I Gave Up Mommyboards.
2007-04-28 22:09:00 Way back when I was pregnant with my oldest, I joined my first online message board for parents. The chats, the easy access to other moms; I was hooked from day one. It seemed natural to join another when I got pregnant with my second. Overall it was another good experience, not without a few ...

Ahhh..Ok?
2007-04-21 15:18:00 Remember how a couple years ago costumes from ‘Jo-Jo’s Circus’ were all the rage, going as high as $200 on Ebay? I never got it. Possibly because I never watched the show. Clowns are a little freaky to me, and the characters on that show are just plain odd looking. I seriously do not get ...

I Finally Have Proof the Pregnant Girl Has Been Drinking!
2007-04-19 16:44:00 It seems Playgroupie has either been drinking, or pregnancy brain has truly kicked in, because last night she decided to bestow upon me the prestigious “Thinking Blogger Award”.
