So Girl-E is summing up to 40 pounds now. How ever did she get to that weight? I’m so happy she nursed for 17 months and ate like an ox until her 2nd birthday, cause the girl’s just decided that she doesn’t want much of anything to eat these days. “No fanks!” is all I get. [...]

How else do I save money?? I bring our lunch, snacks & drinks when we go out. Otherwise, I’ll easily spend $15 on lunch. My on-the-go meals? PB&J, cheese and crackers, yogurt drinks, nuts, raisins, freeze-dried fruit, sliced fruit, ziplocks of snacky stuff, and jarred babyfood for D-Boy. Sippy cups with water. I even bring my [...] I almost didn’t post this because I look exactly how I feel. Jacked up. And I’m not talking Jack Daniels. I’m talking tired, sick, chap-lipped, and annoyed. Bad lighting, too. But, hey. This is what happens when I’m in the trenches of 2 weeks worth of illnesses. So, here it is. I’m crabby this week. My baby’s sick, in pain and it’s making me feel sad. I REALLY don’t want to hear a play-date-Mom-friend say, “What!? He’s sick again? What is going on over there? My kids never get sick. Ever. Just a stuffy nose. Maybe a little cough. I’m so lucky. Maybe it’s cause I’m nuts [...] Please. Pleeeease. I just need some sleep. These night wakings are doing me in. And the crying-it-out thing in the middle of the night just doesn’t feel right. Cause how do you really know what the crying’s about? His first molar erupted last week, and the one above it is peeking through red and swollen gums. Owww. [...] Girl-E stared wide-eyed at D-Boy, holding her breath as she stuffed her prized ponies into her Dora backpack. I could see the urgency on her face. “Hurrrrry!”, she ordered the ponies. He was closing in on her. Wobbling at a good pace, D-Boy was almost there. And with a quickness, they were shoved and zipped into safety, from the drooly [...] I read a post at one of my favorite Mom blogs the other day and it got my wheels turnin’ about how women see their bodies. How some of us hide behind silly euphemisms and then how that translates to the little girls we are raising. What are we teaching girls about their bodies by the examples [...] I can’t believe it took so long for my cycle/girlfriend/visitor/period to return this time around. With my first baby, it took 6 months after birth. With my second, it took over 13 months. I nursed my 1st baby until 17 months, and I’m still going strong with my 2nd at 13 month old. So, I know this is [...] |
