Dante´s New Attitude
Posted on October 14, 2007 - Filed Under Kids | 1 Comment
Dante was a very calm, relaxed baby, unlike his big brother who basically screamed his way through infanthood. Of course, Dorian had a tough start, what with hospitals and surgeries and all. And I was SO glad that Dante was much more laid back. However, now that he is about to turn 5 months . [...]
Testing My Mad Skills

Remember the list of projects I wanted to get done before Christmas? Well, I´ve finally gotten around to starting on one. Yesterday, we went into town and I bought some yarn to start that great snowflake afghan. Just one ball of white and one of blue.
See, this time around, I´m being smart. Instead of [...]

When was the last time you were surprised?
I think when I found out I was pregnant with Dante. That was a big surprise, considering Dorian was only 7 months old. Since then, not a lot has happened to surprise me, unless you´re talking, jump out from behind the door surprise.

There are two dogs who live next door and both of them are horrid animals. One, in particular, is simply evil. He is black and thin and has this wolfish, hungry, mean look to him. And he is a lot like his owners, he will stare you down, then wander off as if he couldn´t [...]
An Eternity of Tantrums
Posted on October 11, 2007 - Filed Under Kids, Personal | 1 Comment
Irving took Dorian to school with him today. I was glad because our toddler stayed up until 10 pm last night! He just kept getting up and would not go to sleep. So this morning he was a bit on the grumpy side.
Irving tried to worm his way out of it, saying that it was [...]

Dorian and Doors

Dorian, for all his tantrums and fits (which just come with the territory at this age, I guess), is a very polite child. He almost always says, “gracias” when you do something for him or give him something, especially if he asked for it. Course, it sounds more like “gassyas” but it works! He occasionally [...]
Clean House Update

I almost made it. After a brief energy lull once the guys left, I got off my duff and dumped everything on the floor. Everything that wasn´t already there, that is. The box on top of the wardrobe, everything on top of the tv stand, the shelves full of clutter, it all got poured out [...]
I Hate Cleaning My House
Posted on October 8, 2007 - Filed Under Mom Stuff, Personal | 3 Comments
This morning, I got up at 6 with Dorian, nothing new there, but then I went into his room and cleaned it from top to bottom. Killed countless eight-legged things, yuck, and got rid of spiderwebs, milk powder, and some other stuff that is just too embarrassing to mention here.
Then I swept and mopped. And, [...]
