  June 16, 2011

  Do you ever wonder what happened to colicky children born into forest-dwelling tribes (or any groups that lived out in the open with little protection)? Not to be morbid or anything, but how did they not get eaten by bears? This question plagues me far more than it really should. I wonder about i...

• Company picnic

  June 14, 2011

  Wow. It has been a while. Oops. The Child is fine. The antibiotics didn't do any of the nasty things to her that antibiotics usually do, and she was feeling almost 100% the next day. Whew. We just got back from Jeremy's company picnic. There were probably 500 people there. The food was amazing, b...

• Sick child, costly superpowers, and more

  May 23, 2011

  The Child has an infection of some sort. 105.3 fever a couple of nights ago, and I almost panicked myself to death. I did have the presence of mind to call the doctor before calling 911, and they told me to bring her in the next morning, and only to worry if it climbed to…

• I am so glad I didn’t wear shorts.

  May 11, 2011

  Let's talk about how dumb I am. Yaaay! Our favorite topic! Apparently, being closer to the sun means you burn more easily. Who would have thought?? Genius. See, in Wisconsin, I can spend almost an entire day outside and not even tan. When we went to the zoo a couple of weeks ago (a few…

• Jean does not have a future in therapy

  May 9, 2011

  We have been having some trouble getting the girls' medical records transferred to our new pediatrician. I have filled out all the forms twice, to no avail. So I finally called our old pediatrician's office today. Lady: Blah Blah Pediatrics, how may I help you? Me: I've been having some trouble g...

• My clever idea. Clever-ish. Maybe.

  April 27, 2011

  So many of you are so crafty and good with your hands; I'm almost embarrassed to post this since I cheated by going through CafePress. But I designed an apron (design? hah! I slapped some text over a picture of an apron and called it done. I did spend some time agonizing over the font,…

• This and that

  April 27, 2011

  I sit down to write something at least five times a day and then blank out. This is the busiest (good busy) I've been in years, and somehow I have nothing to talk about. I have continued to lose weight. This is nice, but it also means I'm slowly shrinking out of even my older…

• I need a good slap in the head

  April 15, 2011

  There has been a *babyspolsion among my friends in the last couple of months. It is making me positively feverish, which I know is complete lunacy. I can barely make it through most days without ripping my hair out in frustration. The girls just happen to be at two very irritating phases. *(I lov...

  Picture yourself, high on the knowledge that you have sloughed yet another size off your pants-area, walking into Savers with a plan and a dream. A dream of a cheap wardrobe. A cheap wardrobe that must be cheap because (you hope) you won't be stopping at this size for long. But a fabulous wardrob...
