The Dorian Diet
Posted on October 2, 2008 - Filed Under Kids | 5 Comments
Know what Dorian had for lunch today? Half a lime, two bites of tortilla, a bite of rice and a bite of carrot. That`s it. And the lime? I had to squeeze the juice onto his tongue. At least he`s getting vitamin C, right?
Lately, despite my attempts to be totally laid back with the [...]

Not my kids, that`s for sure! They just use the furniture!

It`s Just Been One of Those Days
Posted on September 27, 2008 - Filed Under Kids, Mom Stuff | 6 Comments
Man, I feel like my blog is getting rather negative, but maybe it`s all the rain. Today was another pouring day, though we had a few minutes of just clouds in the morning.
The day began at 5 am, with both boys up and fighting right off the bat. Oh, what fun! Thankfully, they [...]
Rain, Rain, Go to Spain

The rainy season is really going for the gusto right now. Rather than the usual sunny mornings followed by rainy afternoons and evening, it`s been raining all day, every day. Today was our first glimpse of sunshine in several days! Though it`s gone now.
All this rain has posed a problem when it comes to my [...]
The Grass (Or Soup) Is Always Greener
Posted on September 23, 2008 - Filed Under Food, Kids | 3 Comments
Dorian has been really picky about food recently and yet he keeps coming back from the in-laws with chunks of chicken or mashed potatoes on his face. But more frequently, they give him cookies and candies instead, though the candy isn`t as common these days, thank goodness.
Tonight, I whipped up a nice creamy spinach soup. [...]
It`s An All Out Attack

On my immune system, that is. I am starting to wonder if I`ll ever get better! First, the flu, which was definitely the worst I`ve ever had in my life. Then before I was even over the aches and pains, my digestive system decided to go haywire and now . . . well, now I [...]
Just a Leeedle Bit
Posted on September 18, 2008 - Filed Under Kids | 6 Comments
Dorian has hit the negotiation age at full throttle. His latest pleas are fraught with the phrase “Just a leeedle bit? Please?” Whether he`s referring to ice cream or playdough . . . he always asks for just a bit.
Tonight, it was starting to get dark and he really wanted to go outside. “Please? Please, [...]
What We Do On Sick Days
Posted on September 16, 2008 - Filed Under Fun, Kids, Simple Life | 3 Comments
So, I`ve been pretty much out of commission the past four days and with Irving working for the past 5 . . . that means a very sick mama is trying to occupy 2 active little boys. I tried to opt for things that included me either lying on the floor (puzzles and cars) or [...]
Papa`s Dead
Posted on September 11, 2008 - Filed Under Kids | 1 Comment
This morning, we sat down to eat breakfast, Dorian, Dante and I. Irving was still in bed, as he usually is, since he often works late nights and doesn`t come home until the wee hours of the morning. Dorian just felt that the family breakfast wasn`t complete without his papa, so he went to wake [...]
Ya Think He`s Ready?
Posted on September 10, 2008 - Filed Under Kids | 2 Comments
Tonight, Dorian called me into his bedroom. “I`m cabal (full diaper), Mama.” He said.
He was down at the foot of his bed, laying there, waiting to be changed. Which I thought was a bit odd, but whatever. He was soaked through and his bed was wet down at the bottom where he`d been laying.
So, I [...]
