Things you never knew about vomit that you probably wish you didn't. A phone covered in vomit will stop working.....and even if it didn't, the smell makes it unusable. A 22.5 lb baby girl can vomit 10 lbs of puke in four days and only lose 2 if you keep pushing fluids. Vomit must be washed out of hair immediately. If you miss a tiny spot of vomit, it will dry and form a cement-like bond with the hair that will not wash out with soap and water. Screaming too long can induce ...
This morning started very early. 1 am early. I was awakened by the sounds of a barely 2 year old girl sobbing. I found her sobbing between barfs. After a carefully timed rescue/clean up mission, we sat (on several layers of blanket) on the couch. I just tried to calm her down. Vomit smells bad, feels worse coming up and is a frightening way to wake up. We go through the barf, remove top layer of blanket routine a few times before it looks like the worst has subsided. (ps It hadn...
I've been noticing the kitchen and living room are noticably warmer than the rest of the house. I don't hae the heat on yet, and usually this only happens when I cook. The cooking has been pretty minimal as of late.....I'm eating lots of leftovers, although I'm running low. (Time to cook the other turkey) I woke up this morning and had a revelation when I turned on my tree..... It's the lights. Each strand of lights doesn't put out much heat, but I lost count this year and have be...
Actually, I put my Christmas tree up 2 days ago. Since HW isn't here, I don't have to wait till the day after Thanksgiving to put it up. So I decided to take a week to decorate. I put the tree and lights up....and a few nativities....not too much yet. I also bought a tree for my kids' bedroom. Connor picked out all red lights but I nixed that idea and suggested HW's favorite, multicolored. So this weekend we are putting it up and then during break, we will be making stars and string...
Today, my plans changed. Instead of running errands and grocery shoping, I scaled the semi-steep peek of my addition and learned to be a roofer. It's not as complicated as it looks, but it is hard, back breaking labor. It's dusk right now and there isn't enough light to work, but floodlights arent' as effective as they will be at full dark. So we used that as an excuse to take a break and get some food. I ate breakfast at 7 this morning and I've been busy ever since....the job doesn't ...
I really wanted to blog today, so mcuh is going on. The roofing crew is here...hopefully the slideshow will work....

Today he left. And amazingly enough.....I'm okay. Maybe it's just that I got out my frustration yesterday. I was sad and lonely because he didn't come home when we expected and it was his LAST day home. And then he didn't come home at the new time.....and again.....finally hours after I had hoped to see him, he arrived. Just in time to for my daughter to wake from her nap and our son to arrive home from school. No alone time. I was hurt, angry and upset. I sobbed and mopped around...
WARNING: MAJOR RANT AHEAD. So once again I am inundated with emails and rumors (thanks Dad. *NOT BFD, my actual one) that (shock, gasp) Barnes and Noble is an EVIL, SCARY BAD company that allowed a GAY PORN book to be left on a table repeatedly and (gasp, horror) be seen by a child! Okay, sarcasm aside, I would be irritated and be inclined NOT to frequent a store with that particular issue, but as a patron of B&N for many years....I'm suspicious already. Beware, here comes...

I love pictures of my kids. I love having pictures displayed on my walls, on my computer and in my wallet. I love to see the ones I love and remember moments I loved as I look at pictures. I wanted "good" pictures and didn't feel like my meesly efforts were worth hanging up. So I dutifully went to a studio and handed over money.....But I hate paying the overcharged prices for subpar pictures at overcrowded studios where after my kids have waited so long they are overti...
Do you think he will be able to find us?
