Today we attended a Labor Day parade. Gabby’s chosen outfit was jeans, a pink shirt with the word “Rock” spelled out in sequins, purple fingerless gloves that I wear while running on cold days, and a black knit cap with a brim which she wore cocked to the side. Oh– and yellow glitter socks under [...]

I think the first day of school is a total waste. Half-day, nothing gets done, they send home a bunch of new forms for us to fill out which they could easily give out at another time…. AND there’s Walk-Through day, AND THEN there’s Expectation Night. I honestly think these events could be consolidated to some [...]

Don't be fooled by the "Angel" tshirt. These are the tools of Satan.
….should be renamed the Ninth Level of Hell.
And lest there be any doubt: there is a limit to my girlie factor. Wanna know how many times the birthday guests requested the song “You Belong With Me” by Taylor Swift? Answer: only slightly fewer times than they [...]

Actually, these are the exact two pets we have. I hate them both so much.
Do me a favor: the next time I say something like, “Let’s get the girls some Pillow Pets. You know those fur-covered pillows shaped like animals? They’ll love those, don’t you think? It can’t be that hard to keep them Velcroed into [...]

My extended family and I took her out to dinner on her actual birthday and [...]

I’ve added a few more archives, including a party and the time Cameron did my hair. Speaking of parties: I’ve rented a Dora the Explorer jumpy for Sunday so I am officially the coolest mom on the freaking PLANET.
Enjoy!!!!!

You guys, it is so damn hard to come back from those holiday weekends, isn’t it? First of all, I spent essentially the entire 72 hours leading up to the Fourth in various swimming pools, alternately drinking pina coladas– seriously. Did you know that people still make pina coladas, because I didn’t know [...]

I have finally gotten around to posting more archives from the newborn Addie J stage. You can start here for some discussions of how a young Cameron and Gabby viewed church services, a list of stupid things said to me right after Addie J was born, and I had forgotten about my ode [...]

Top Ten Things I Love About Addie J on this day, her birthday:
10. She loves Kid Rock.
9. Sleeping is the only time she’s still… and even then, she sprawls everywhere. If I’m in the vicinity she kicks me in the face at least once.
8. When she sings along to Stone [...]

Addie J is the repeatingest repeater who ever served as her own tape recorder, and it’s going to be the death of me. Here’s the soundtrack of my life right now:
ADDIE J: Can I have a snack? Can I have a snack? Can I have a snack? Can I have a snack? Can I have [...]
