Guatemalan Cold Virus
Posted on July 21, 2007 - Filed Under Kids, Mom Stuff, Personal | Leave a Comment
We are all sick here. It started with Irving, of course, bringing home a lovely virus from the school. The joys of having a schoolteacher husband!
Dante succumbed first, with sneezing and a stuffy nose, then myself, and now even Dorian is down with the cold. It made for a very up and down night last [...]
Walking the Bed
Posted on July 20, 2007 - Filed Under Kids | Leave a Comment
When I was about 9 months pregnant with Dorian, we didn´t have money to buy an expensive new crib. I was very worried about where the new baby was going to sleep.
Then, one day, after a music gig, Irving came home with a travel cot. The kind that folds up and has a hanging bassinet [...]
Finding Time to Stitch

The last couple of days, I´ve been kind of slacking off. I don´t know if it´s because I´m so tired or what, but I just am not in the mood to write these days! There are several writing projects that I need to get working on, but without a real deadline, nothing´s getting done. Maybe [...]
8 Things You Didn´t Know About Me
Posted on July 19, 2007 - Filed Under Fun, Personal | 3 Comments
Middle Zone Musings has opened up the floor on this meme, so I thought I´d take part, because it looks like a fun one! So here goes:
1. I´m a lazy workaholic. That is, if I need to work, I have trouble stopping, I´ll just work and work and work, to the exclusion of even eating. [...]
13 Things You Will Find on My Floor Any Given Morning
Posted on July 18, 2007 - Filed Under 13 Things | 2 Comments
My floor is a mess. But luckily it’s concrete (we haven’t gotten around to tiling) and not carpet, so it mops up very nicely.
1. Coffee. Dorian drinks weak coffee in the morning. I know, bad, bad, bad, but there is actually a reason for this. Because of his condition, he tends to get intestinal blockages. [...]
Stalking the Writing Deadline
Posted on July 18, 2007 - Filed Under Mom Stuff, Personal | Leave a Comment
I have a writing deadline that is drawing ever nearer. It´s scary. I have to have 20 articles done by tomorrow morning.
Of course, a normal person would have started three days ago, when I got the assignment, but as a mom, I was too distracted and sleep deprived to actually write coherently. So now, [...]

My Sister the Nanny

I was online today when my MSN Messenger popped up with a message from my sister. It was simple and very intriguing. It said, “Do you want a full-time nanny?”
Of course, I said yes. Turns out she´s been offered a free one-way ticket to Guatemala! She thought she might take it, but it would mean [...]
Ever So Helpful

Don´t get me wrong, I love Irving very much. He´s a great father and usually a very good spouse.
But there are times when I have to wonder at his twisted logic.
For example. I am currently so sleep deprived that I haven´t been able to write much more than short posts for my blogs. A deadline [...]
