Cutting Down On Frustration: Baby Clothing Sizes Revealed 2007-03-04 05:32:50 I spent an hour or so on Saturday night weeding through Rylan’s bin of upcoming sizes. I do that once a month or so. (Yes, on Saturday nights. Shut up.) I still had a few of the bigger 12 month items in there, and also pulled out all of the 18 [...] Read more:Cutting

Mama got front 2007-03-03 18:18:29 If you’ve nursed a baby, you know the horror that are ‘milk boobs.’
If you’re a true breastfeeding aficionado (aka an extended breastfeeder), then the rest of your body may have returned to “as normal as it’s gonna get” long before you recover ownership of the bazoongas.
Or? Maybe you’ve never nursed and you’re [...]
Part Two 2007-03-01 16:47:15 Remember last week when I was late? Turns out I’m late again. This time it’s because I thought I was supposed to post this on Thursday. Everyone else did it on Wednesday. I have no idea what the hell I’m doing, apparently.
I know. That’s not news.
Moving on.

Dear Rylan - Ten Months 2007-02-28 19:32:25 Dear Rylan,
A week ago, you were ten months old. I’m late with your letter for a couple of reasons. First of all, we’ve been busy. We had Grandma B here for a few days and we’ve been playing and swimming and banging and hanging out in your tent and knocking over towers ~ [...] Read more:Months
Product Review: Fiber One Chewy Bars 2007-02-27 15:54:10 Fiber One chewy bars taste really good. Overly sweet, but good. Believe it or not, this is not a good thing. There are too many products on the market that taste really good and are terrible for you. When I received my sample box, I tasted them before I read the [...] Read more:Fiber

Always late 2007-02-25 23:42:37 I’m participating in the Mom Trap’s blogging book-a-long for the book 1-2-3 Magic by Dr. Thomas Phelan. As usual, though, I’m late to the table. I ordered my book what seems like eons ago but it took too long to get here and I missed the boat for the first post.

Welcome to One Man Bandwidth! 2007-02-25 18:53:57 Another week, another new renter…
This week, please help me welcome ONEMANBANDWIDTH - An American Professor in China (One course short of a full load).

Ow 2007-02-23 23:56:31 My mom’s been here for a few days. She looked after Rylan yesterday all day so I could present at our local teacher’s convention. I sit on the convention board when I’m not on mat leave and have been presenting there and at many other conventions for several years. I usually do [...]
Welcome to Slacker Moms R Us! 2007-02-21 23:19:34 Did y’all notice my new renter over yonder in my sidebar? She deserves a post all her own…
Slacker
Mom Kristie has recently “divorced” her parents and has received both flack and slack over her decision. I think she’s incredibly brave, well written and honest.

Hookah 2007-02-21 05:07:56 When the BG and I were watching the all star season of Big Brother last year (was that only last year?), I was surprised to see some of the contestants smoking what I assumed was a bong on national television.
Turns out, it was a hookah. According to the beloved Wiki, a hookah [...]
Snow Baby! 2007-02-19 06:19:30 I suck. Sorry. I have about thirteen posts planned but have been away visiting the folks so none of them are finished. My niece turned one on Saturday, which means in only nine weeks Rylan will be 1. Can you hear me crying from where you are?
Back soon!

I’m ba-ack! Did [...]
Finally something to blog about… 2007-02-13 19:32:10 It’s not that I have nothing to say. It’s just that I have no time to say it. Obviously Izzy was feeling terrible for me you, so she tagged me for a meme. A post is a post is a post, right?

Stuck n’ Books 2007-02-09 17:44:54 You know those toys that your kids love and play with all.day.long. Those same toys that have educational songs that get stuck in your head and just won’t go away.

Motherless 2007-02-09 00:04:35 I was always taught never to speak ill of the dead. So I won’t. But Oh.My.God. That poor little motherless baby. No matter how much of a moron your mother is (oops, I said I wouldn’t do that) every girl should be able to know her mama. Now this precious [...]
Elimination 2007-03-06 19:26:26 So, Rylan’s had the shits for a week and so far we’ve come to the conclusion that he’s either intolerant to wheat or dairy, and maybe white rice in his crackers, but brown rice is fine.
We don’t eat any white flower because the BG is allergic to it so Rylan’s never (and will [...] Read more:Elimination
Keeping It Under Control: Organization With A Baby 2007-03-07 11:00:57 New parents get SO much “stuff” and have to quickly figure out what to do with it all before they get buried in it.
Clothing, toys, bedding, paraphernalia…there’s so much of it all. Luckily, I’m addicted to organizing and my label maker is my favourite toy so I kind of get off on it all. [...] Read more:Control

Not late! 2007-03-09 07:01:29 Kristen moved the 123 Magic post for this week to Friday. I think she was just sick of my tardiness.
FYI…

Part 2
Part three is very appropriately entitled “No Child Will Thank You.” It’s true. They won’t.

Real Moms Drink At Playdates 2007-03-14 01:07:31 Kristen tagged me for her real moms meme.
I’ve been out with a cold for a couple of days (Rylan’s already learning how to share! Yeah for him!) so this was a great reason to get back on the computer. Thanks, Kristen!

That’s the last time I’m telling you anything. 2007-03-17 19:15:20 Alright. Which one of you told someone about Rylan sleeping through the night regularly now that his first 6 teeth are finally in?
Because last night? Up twice. Once to nurse and then play for an hour. Once to scream for an hour and rub his gums.
Thanks a lot.
That’s the last time [...] Read more:anything
Sometimes Mondays are good. 2007-03-20 17:23:08 Yesterday, Rylan and I drove to visit our very good friends about an hour and a half away. (The friend who bought me the infamous pillow. She actually gave me a new pillow case for it that she made for me so that I’d have a neutral one to match my living room. [...] Read more:Sometimes

Just the title. 2007-03-22 16:35:50 So, I’ve had this unusually great post brewing in my head for a few days. I had it pretty much completely written ~ you know, on the toilet, in the shower, before falling asleep at night… (I’m not the only one who does that, right?) and when I woke up this morning, all that [...]

Not offensive at all 2007-03-24 17:13:14 My dear long time friend Leah finally has a blog!
Check her out, and please leave her a comment so she can learn how to moderate them. She was worried she wasn’t “smart enough” to figure out blogging, but she’s got her first post up and you won’t believe the crappy week she had last [...]
