my mother
0000-00-00 00:00:00
I remember when I was a kid and I used to give my mother a hard time and she would always tell me, "Just wait until you grow up and have kids of your own, then you'll understand."What she meant by this, at that time, and for many years I would not know until low and behold I had my son a (more)


being vs. doing
0000-00-00 00:00:00
I am dizzy this morning. I am dizzy from lack of sleep and I'm dizzy from all of the things I want to remember to write about. My husband has also been complaining about being dizzy. He's dizzy and he's tired and he gets headaches and sometimes his right ball hurts. Also he get (more)

when nobody is looking...chicken fingers
0000-00-00 00:00:00
I'm so tired that I almost brushed my teeth with deoderant. Yup, I reached into the medicine cabinet, pulled out my Tom's Deoderant, removed the cap and was just about ready to "squeeze the tube" when I realized it wasn't a tube of toothpaste at all. I laughed out loud, wishin (more)


life and my husband's balls
0000-00-00 00:00:00
I have a lot on my mind today. Cold coffee and my husband's balls tops the list. I'm afraid my husband might have hernia. He's been complaining about pain in his right testicle. He's had it before and it took him two months to recover. The first thing that came to mind (more)


shadow dancing
0000-00-00 00:00:00
My son has just recently learned how to turn over onto his belly. He doesn't do this when he's laying in his playpen mind you. He does this in the middle of the night, while half asleep, and then falls back to sleep in this position. Of course when he wakes up again he is completely dis (more)


dreaming of a dodge
0000-00-00 00:00:00
When you live in New York City owning a car can be a big headache when it comes to parking. This is in fact the very reason my husband and I do not bother to purchase a car.That is not to say that we don't fantasize about the IDEA of owning a car but usually that dream is dashed when my (more)

0000-00-00 00:00:00
I hate to admit this but the damn pacifier is still here. In fact there isn't just one there are several of them and they are ALL still here. In fact one of them is in my son's mouth right now as he lay sleeping. There I said it. You're probably thinking I'm a bad mothe (more)

goodbye binky

Today while I was getting a glass of water I heard the muffled noise of the baby screeching. Luckily the kitchen is only a few feet away from the living room where he had been previously enjoying a


my past
0000-00-00 00:00:00
I have a confession. My name is really not Rose Calderwood. I can't tell you my real name because if I do that I might have to kill you.The reason I have to use another name that is not my own name is because to use my real name would run the risk of destroying my life. Sounds pretty (more)


attention please
0000-00-00 00:00:00
SPACE as you can imagine is really becoming an issue in our little, one bedroom shoebox. Pre baby it was challenging to find ways to make room for all our stuff, but now it's almost unmanageable. Do you know we actually had to throw out our love seat to make room for the baby's

0000-00-00 00:00:00
Can you have Alzheimer's Disease at 38 years old? It runs in the family. My maternal grandmother had it. I'm convinced it's what killed her. Actually she got run over by a truck, survived only to die two weeks later from complications. She was going for a walk, apparently forg (more)


how to surprise my husband
0000-00-00 00:00:00
Yes there is a god! Baby finally slept last night in blocks of approximately three hours each. I feel like a NEW woman. If I had known that taking away the damn pacifier would solve my problems almost immediately, I would have done it a long time ago.Mind you putting him to sleep now isn&# (more)


i am a bad person

missing me
0000-00-00 00:00:00
Sometimes I feel like I am losing my identity. My close friends assure me that I am still the same person and don't see that I've compromised that one bit. But I have a very different feeling. I felt the first tinge of this when I moved in with my husband. Then when we got married a (more)

I swear, just when I think I've gotten every strand of my hair off the floor another one drops off, and another, and another. This is insane. I'm still shedding. It's almost been six months since I had the baby, is this normal? Advice to brunettes...don't have any li (more)

Living in NYC there comes a time when you will undoubtedly encounter a cockroach or two, particularly if you live in a multi-apartment dwelling like we do. When we took this apartment the first question I asked the previous tenant was, "Are there any roaches?"She lied. Of course (more)

As you may or may not know by now, I am a thirty-eight year old, stay at home mom of a five month old baby boy and have been on a mission to find opportunities to make some extra income working from home. What mom wouldn't want this? Working from home you have the best of both worl (more)


the true definition of a parent

When they tell you there isn't a manual that comes with your baby, something to give you all the answers to your every day concerns and dilemnas of motherhood they weren't shitting. It turns out one piece of advice, article or book may work for you but it could fail me miserably, or visa (more)

still in my pajamas and it's almost noon
0000-00-00 00:00:00
This morning I woke up with the baby laying on my breast crying in his sleep. He was obviously sleeping heavily and having a bad dream, one I could not wake him from. Try as I did to nudge him awake, he kept crying and sleeping. But here's the thing, the sound of his cry was not familiar. It d (more)


the high cost of dreams
0000-00-00 00:00:00
One thing I know for sure about life is that we all live, we all die, eat, shit and pay taxes. Also, once every month we are inundated with bills that need to be paid. I know it sounds strange but I actually enjoy paying my bills. Probably having the money to be able to do this makes all th (more)

My husband is pretty thrifty, so convincing him to buy a capresso expresso maker would be like trying to convince your average every day hubby to invest in an expensive piece of furniture. Since my son was born I too have become a bit (more)

sorry selfish
0000-00-00 00:00:00
Recently I read an article about a woman who, one year after her baby was born fell into a deep depression. I'm not sure if you can call this post partum depression. One year is a long stretch, but I can understand how this can happen. The accumulation of exhaustion and the gradual feeling o (more)

Yesterday I thought about visiting some old friends - the guys at the firehouse down the street from where I once lived with two cats, a dog and two roomies. These guys were like brothers to me. But, as much as I would love to have seen the guys and introduced them to my son, I did not go to (more)

Something is definitely wrong with the baby. And I'm a little freaked out about it. It's probably nothing, but like I mentioned in earlier posts he is balling up his right hand into a fist and hitting it against his body or mine! Also he won't sit comfortably in his bouncer anymore (more)
