Mama´s Boy No More?
Posted on May 3, 2008 - Filed Under Mom Stuff | 2 Comments
Ok, Ok, I know this is normal . . . but . . . but . . . sniff. Tonight Dorian requested that his Papa put him to bed . . . even with the stories! I´ve read him his bedtime stories since he was born and this is the very first time he´s made [...]
Things I Never Thought I´d Say
Posted on April 18, 2008 - Filed Under Mom Stuff | 3 Comments
You know how, when you´re a kid, you think, “I´m never going to be like my mom. I´m not ever going to tell my kids that and I´ll let them eat cake for breakfast!” Well, ok, I do occasionally let my kids have cake for breakfast. But my point is, you think you´ll do [...]
If You Give a Man a Shopping List . . .
Posted on April 11, 2008 - Filed Under Mom Stuff | 3 Comments
I have a lot to do today if I want to spend even half my birthday tomorrow without working, so Irving volunteered to do the shopping. The plan is to have a nice picnic in the ruins tomorrow, with chicken kiev and potato salad. But, giving a man a shopping list is somewhat dangerous . [...]
I Really Am a Lousy Housekeeper
Posted on March 25, 2008 - Filed Under Mom Stuff | 3 Comments
Here´s the proof:
Today, Irving and Dorian went into Antigua and I got to work and cleaned the house, put all the clothes to be folded in one place, swept and mopped, etc.
Dorian walked in the door, looked around and said, “WHAT did you DO in here?!?”
Yup, I think I need to stay on [...]
Did I Say I Would Stop?

Remember this post? Well, guess why I´ve vanished off the face of the Earth for the past few days?
As Irving says, “You always say you´re going to quit and then you see an article assignment and think “that could buy the tiles for the bathroom” so you take it anyway.” I suppose my [...]
I Ought to Be in Bed
Posted on January 25, 2008 - Filed Under Kids, Mom Stuff | 3 Comments
The most incredible, bizarre thing happened tonight.
Dorian threw a tantrum (no, that´s not bizarre) at about 6:50 and I said, “Ok, I think it´s about time to put you to bed.” Normally, this is where things go from bad to worse. He flips out, screams, throws things . . . etc. etc.
Not tonight. I went [...]
How Hard Can It Be to Buy a Kitchen Table?
Posted on January 20, 2008 - Filed Under Mom Stuff | 3 Comments
Apparently, harder than I thought. We are going on 3 years now without a table. The first 2.5 years were mainly because we didn´t have a house to put the table in . . . just our bedroom which was also our living room/dining room/rec room/kitchen.
Now, we have a place to put the table and [...]

First, some yummy pics . . .
And the stockings are finally done . . .
Dante´s
Dorian´s
These were made from thrifted material. The denim for the main part came from a denim maternity dress that I found for a few cents, the snowmen are made from old, bleached sleepers that both boys have outgrown, the red cord [...]
Getting into the Spirit

I promise I will have photos tomorrow. I´m getting really excited about Christmas now. We went to the market today and there were lights and dazzling Christmas decorations in nearly every stall. We passed one stall that was piled man-high with cars in boxes and Dorian yelled “CARS! Yo los destapo!” (which means, I´ll [...]
Christmas, It´s a Coming!
Posted on December 2, 2007 - Filed Under Mom Stuff | 1 Comment
Is it just me or did November just vanish in a heartbeat? I could have sworn we had more time before Christmas and now it´s looming on the horizon! And we aren´t even close to being ready here! Every day I make plans to do some sewing, but something always happens to distract me, so [...]
