Two New Blogs
Posted on June 20, 2008 - Filed Under Mom Stuff | 2 Comments
I´ve been working on a couple of new blogs lately. One is just mine and the other is one that my younger sister and I are building together.
The first blog, Fit, Healthy Mama, is just what it sounds like, a health blog. Originally, I was just going to use it as a personal diary [...]
Mama In Trouble
Posted on June 19, 2008 - Filed Under Kids | 2 Comments
Today I accidentally knocked my coffee mug off my desk and it smashed into bits on the tile floor. Dorian immediately began to cry, “I no do it!”
After I´d cleaned it up and reassured him that it was Mama´s fault, life went back to normal. Until this evening. A few minutes ago, he asked for [...]

Posted on June 19, 2008 - Filed Under 13 Things | Leave a Comment
There are more than a few people who would think I´m doing an awful job of raising kids. I personally think they are turning out ok, but to keep myself humble . . . here are 13 reasons I´m not a good mom.
I have been known, when asked for crackers or raisins, to say something [...]

And Then The Lights Went Out
Posted on June 18, 2008 - Filed Under Guatemala | 1 Comment
Last night we had a killer storm, with some VERY loud lightening. Dorian doesn´t mind lightning and thunder, but they scare the living daylights out of Dante. And then we had a particularly loud clap of thunder and the lights went “ZzzPOP!” and everything died. The whole upper half of the town was without electricity [...]
Happy Father´s Day
Posted on June 17, 2008 - Filed Under Guatemala | 2 Comments
You probably think I´m nuts, but it´s actually Father´s day today here in Guatemala. Irving became a father-to-be five years ago, when I discovered I was pregnant for the first time. Unfortunately, we lost that baby and two more after that, but it only made us so much more appreciative when the fourth pregnancy stuck [...]
Sleep Training . . . . AGAIN
Posted on June 15, 2008 - Filed Under Kids | 2 Comments
I hate trying to get my kids to sleep. To a certain extent, they are very good about going to bed. Since birth, I´ve been putting them down at 7 and they are pretty used to going to sleep at that hour. However, they both wake up a LOT at night. Dorian often plays for [...]
My Little Boy is Growing Up
Posted on June 14, 2008 - Filed Under Kids | 3 Comments
This has been a rather Dorian-focused, so I´m going to finish it up with one last Dorian post.
Today marks the first day that Dorian has headed off on his own to spend the morning with friends elsewhere. His cousin, Zanelle, has a futbol (soccer) game in honor of Father´s Day and since she [...]
Views of Birth Order
Posted on June 13, 2008 - Filed Under Simple Life | 2 Comments
Birth order is supposed to be very specific. I´m a firstborn. I´m a bit of a perfectionist like most firstborns and I see a lot of myself in Dorian. But what is really, really funny, is how people relate to my sons depending on birth order.
For example, I send my family photos of the boys [...]
Photos of the Head Injury
Posted on June 13, 2008 - Filed Under Kids | 6 Comments
I didn´t actually take any pictures during the event because I was . . . well, trying to stop the gush of blood, truthfully. I have to admit, it did cross my mind to get Irving to snap a picture . . . but then it seems a little rude to my poor injured kid. [...]
