Is Motherhood a Thankless Job? 2008-07-01 21:06:05 During a recent family vacation to Myrtle Beach, I was changing Baby M’s diaper in the back of our SUV. A man walking in the parking lot saw me, smiled and said “It’s a Thankless Job, isn’t it? Happy Mother’s Day!” I just kind of smiled back. After he left, I wished I had said [...]

The Mommy Stories - Part Mom Blog, Part Virtual Diary 2008-06-24 20:56:32 As a kid, I thought it would be fun to keep a diary. Write my big and exciting thoughts down in a cool diary and lock it with a key. So secretive and exciting. Well, my diary phase lasted about a week. I never have been one for journaling or writing down my thoughts. But, [...]

The Second Time Around 2008-07-15 20:24:03 So, I’m on round two. Little E is three and Baby M just turned 4 months old. I have a little experience with the baby stage. If I had to complete a resume prior to having Baby M, I would have put “Well Qualified in all aspects of babyhood - sleep training expert, breastfeeding pro [...]

The Late-Afternoon Crazies 2008-07-08 22:08:28 I refer to the time period between 4:00 and 5:30 pm (or whenever my husband comes home) as the “late-afternoon crazies.” I think most Mom’s can agree that this time period can often be the longest of the entire day. It is some strange time warp where things that should normally take 30 minutes (like cooking dinner), [...]

The New Definition of Vacation 2008-07-04 15:43:38 I am typing this post while sitting in a rocking chair on the deck of a beautiful house in the mountains. We are on a family vacation with my parents, my brother and his wife. Four years ago my definition of a vacation would have been going to someplace sunny and warm, sleeping in late and spending the [...]

Nothing Is Permanent 2008-07-04 15:21:04 Nothing is permanent, nothing is permanent. This is a motto I made for myself when Little E was a baby. This applies to the good and the bad. Little E has been whining since he opened his eyes at 6:15 this morning? No problem, nothing is permanent. Baby M has been sleeping through the night [...]

San Francisco With A Baby 2008-07-24 23:33:26 My husband is attending a conference in San Francisco
this week so Baby M and I tagged along. We decided to leave Little E at home this time. I didn’t think it would be a good idea to tackle a new, big city, a three hour time change, a 4 month old and 3 year [...]

Imaginary Friend 2008-08-07 20:34:44 I never had an imaginary friend as a kid. But, I did have a great imagination. My brother and I would play for hours and hours together pretending I was the teacher and he was the student or I was the cook and he was the customer. Yes, I thought it was sooo much fun to [...]

Sick Day 2008-08-06 20:14:42 So, I woke up on Monday morning and wanted to call in sick. Stay in bed, watch cheesey daytime movies, drink lots of sprite. Then I heard the noises on the baby monitor next to me that reminded me that I have two kids and there isn’t anyone to call to take my place for the [...]

Mommy Guilt 2008-07-31 22:07:57 Mommy Guilt - I’m sure we have all dealt with this at some point. And I was all prepared to write about my guilt this week concerning breastfeeding and how I decided to start weaning Baby M. I was going to vent about how it’s been stressful feeding her because I don’t have enough milk [...]

Great Start to the Day 2008-08-26 07:52:55 This morning Little E and I were laying on my bed cuddling and playing cars. He looked at me, gave me a hug and said, “I love you Mommy, this much in the whole, wide world. I’m happy you’re here.” Awwww…
So bring on the baby spit up, dirty diapers and juice spills. I wouldn’t trade this job [...]

Where did my Baby go? 2008-10-18 20:30:06 Megan is now 7 months old. Where did the time go?! I look at her sometimes and feel like she was just born days ago. Time is flying and sometimes I really wish I could slow it down. I want to keep her a little baby forever. But, on the other hand, it is so [...]
