All the Time Learning

Posted on August 14, 2007 - Filed Under Personal, Simple Life | Leave a Comment

I don´t know about you, but I love to learn. Maybe a little too much.
When I was really little, I used to beg my mom to teach me to read, but she wouldn´t teach me early. She said I had to wait until I was ready. Well, when I started first grade, I was SO [...]

What Did I Miss?

Posted on August 13, 2007 - Filed Under Mom Stuff, Personal | 2 Comments

I just woke up from a 6 hour nap. I can´t even call it a nap! It was longer than I sleep most nights and it was HEAVENLY!
Irving came home from the school and I was already asleep, since both boys had actually decided to take a nap at the same time. So, he left [...]

A Lousy Monday

Posted on August 13, 2007 - Filed Under Mom Stuff, Personal | Leave a Comment

Irving had a total of one day of quitting his job. This morning, at 5:30 am, his sister called and started telling him a whole bunch of lies excuses about how she can´t do the job anymore. So he had to head back.
I´m so irritated right now because I think she could have at least [...]

Dante is Teething

Posted on August 11, 2007 - Filed Under Kids, Personal | 4 Comments

I know. He´s not even quite three months old yet and the kid is teething! At least, that´s what I´m assuming since he produces a veritable Niagra Falls of drool all day long and is fussy like nobody´s business. Oh, and he´s chewing everything. In my somewhat limited experience, that is full on teething.
I´ve got [...]

Major Writing Assignment

Posted on August 11, 2007 - Filed Under Personal | 3 Comments

The reason I vanished yesterday is because I got an email on Thursday night about a writing job I had applied to a couple of months ago. Apparently, they had come up short on articles and needed some immediately.
Now, this wasn´t just any old writing job. It is for a bunch of brand new glossies [...]

13 Milestones NOT in the Baby Book

Posted on August 9, 2007 - Filed Under 13 Things | 3 Comments

I read an article in a parenting magazine a while back about non-traditional milestones. The woman put in something like “Son crawls down bars of crib like Spiderman”. I was just thinking about this because Dorian has been doing a lot of new stuff lately and thought I´d do my TT on it. As you [...]

Where Am I Going to Sleep?

Posted on August 8, 2007 - Filed Under Uncategorized | 3 Comments

When I was about 8.5 months pregnant with Dante, we had to buy a new bed. The old one was absolutely wrecking my back! There was a raised bit in the middle and both sides dipped down so far you could feel the box spring.
Not to mention the lovely assortment of metal bits jutting up [...]

My Little Ragamuffin is No More

Posted on August 7, 2007 - Filed Under Kids, Personal | 8 Comments

Today was the day I have been dreading for months.
Dorian´s first haircut.
Here´s what he looked like before:

You can see why he needed a haircut. He was looking more than a little scruffy! But his hair is so thin and fine and he spent the first 9 months of his life without any, so I was [...]

10 Things I Hate

Oooh, I have been tagged again, how cool is that? This time Jessie has sent a fun one my way (revenge for tagging her last time!)
Here are ten things that I absolutely detest.
Food: Weird meat like heart, tongue, feet, etc. I am not a big meat fan in general and that stuff just makes [...]
