Getting it out of my system 2008-07-18 21:41:00 I’ve been avoiding reading about all the fun everyone’s having at BlogHer this weekend because while they’re all meeting famous people, I’ve been sitting on my couch eating Crispix being coaxed into following the Tour de France again (I don’t blame him for not wanting to watch 27 Dresses, but still.)
Good times.
But then instead of feeling sorry for [...]
If it’s good enough for the bears? 2008-07-15 14:58:34 Our weekly swim session at camp started out normally enough today with a lot of splashing, filling up the watering can and other assorted two-year-old activities. (No, mommy does NOT enjoy having her feet watered. Yes, you can play with the rubber frog squirt toy.) But what began as a benign activity of some of the [...]
Absence makes the blog grow fonder 2008-08-04 14:56:31 Dear Blog,
I know I’ve been rather neglectful of you lately. It’s nothing personal really. There are so many things I’ve wanted to tell you along the way since I last wrote. Like the grey eyebrow hair I found (disturbing), the festival I spent the entire weekend volunteering at (exhausting) and all the swimming my son and [...] Read more:makes
My get up and go got up and went 2008-08-20 21:08:58 Somewhere between the chlorine fumes at the pool and one too many Boston Coolers this summer I’ve lost the will to be motivated. By month six of my self-imposed retirement, I was ready to take on the world. Now, nearing the end of month eight, I’ve let go the nanny I’ve always been wary of mainly [...]
His vacuum 2008-08-16 14:49:53 My vacuum helps me to eradicate my bad mood.
His vacuum is just a weak excuse to make a mess and pretend to clean it up.
Guess who cleaned this up?
Is it a boy or is it a girl? 2008-09-07 15:31:13 So we’ve made the decision not to find out what we’re having. We didn’t find out during my first pregnancy, and we thought keeping the gender a mystery would make things a little more exciting during delivery this time around. Since I have a boy already, I think I’m having another boy. As my friend said, [...]
Back in the game, momentarily 2008-09-03 20:43:11 Thanks, all for your very kind wishes! All the good juju you sent my way today inspired me to post on my Work It! Mom blog … Now off to watch what shall be a very interesting VP candidate speech.
Family Holdbacks 2008-09-03 07:13:56 There’s one rule in our house when it’s time to eat: no family holdbacks. Meaning, don’t holdback eating something because you’re worried that Aunt Mary won’t have enough to fill her up. (I don’t really have an Aunt Mary, but that’s besides the point.)
I happen to think FHB’s (family holdbacks) can extend beyond the dinner [...] Read more:Family
Hi, I’m alive 2008-10-02 10:53:57 I’m here. Barely. But I did manage to write a ditty about doing the dirty over here at Work It! Mom and want to give a shout out to my fellow Chicago Mom Bloggers who are part of the DonorsChoose.org Blogger challenge. It’s a great cause, so click through!
Young moms are people too 2008-09-23 21:09:56 Now that my son is attending a real-life preschool (you know, the kind where you can drop your kid off, there are no tears, and you pick your kid up all clean and happy) I’m mixing with different kinds of moms other than my first-time mom/ SAHM crew that’s kept me afloat since I quit [...] Read more:people
Finding Tupperware and Thomas’ Special Delivery 2008-09-20 14:54:52 I have a problem. I can never find matching lids to go with my Tupperware bottoms. No matter how hard I try to organize, sort, and eventually replace them, I can never quite figure out how to get my Tupperware collection to fit together.
Even Thomas
can’t fix this disaster.
This is kind of like how I [...] Read more:Special
