So, the last few weeks I have been feeling pretty icky. Cramps, bloating, and a nice, fun infection. I have also been exhausted! Have I mentioned that I hardly ever get cramps and basically never am bloated?
Well, I don’t, which got me to thinking maybe, just maybe I was pregnant.
And, you know what… part of [...]
Last weekend we celebrated Niece’s 3rd birthday with her family at that place where a kid can be a kid. She spent the entire time running back and forth between the carosel and her constant-token-source… her Daddy. She has him trained!
Day-old-tasting-pizza… $20
Tokens to keep the kiddos (and hubby) entertained… $10
Watching Niece grab on to Hubby’s hand because she [...]
5 year old: “You look very nice today. I like your hair that way.”
Me: “Thank you!”
5 year old: “I also like your ear rings, they look very nice. You do look really nice today!”
Me: “Thank you!”
5 year old: “… But I DO NOT like that other ear ring (I have one on the top of [...]
I guess my dad has given up on me. The other day he was asking what I want to do with my life. I said I didn’t know, but I probably always will work… I just want it to be flexible so I can spend more time with hubby.
He said, “It would be nice for [...]

So, we have been questioned many times by people wondering why we don’t have kids yet. This weekend, we were subjected to an interrogation by a 5 year old about our reproductive choices…
“Do you have kids?”
“Why don’t you have kids?”
“Are you going to have kids?
“I thought you would have had kids by now!”
Yeah, so did [...]

Last weekend we were visiting with a friend and his two daughters ages 5 and almost 2. We made the mistake of teaching the 5 year old “Knock, Knock” and “Why did the ____ cross the road?” jokes. Her jokes, although making no sense to anyone who was not 5 years old, were hillarious. After [...]

Niece to me as I was leaving her house after a visit the other day: “Please come and visit me again real soon, okay?”
Did I mention she is only 2 1/2?!?

I just got a call from my dear Mommy-Friend. It was short and to the point because she had screaming kiddos in the background she had to go deal with.
“There are two things we will NEVER do again…
One… go to Disneyland… Two.. have more kids.”
I haven’t heard the rest of the details, but a safe [...]

Why is it that when someone close to you has a baby, you get inundated with questions as to when your blessed even will be coming?
Why do people think that holding a newborn will make you suddenly want to jump on the baby bandwagon?
I can’t even begin to count how many times I have been [...]

The commercial of the mom & daughters making Rice Krispies Treats. Something about it gets me every time.
Parent confessionals on “Motherhood is Not for Wimps.” Every few months parents “confess” their worst to each other. If these people can raise kids there is hope for me yet!
Nephew when he is asleep… actually, any kid when they are [...]
