Swimming upstream, but at least I’m swimming

I am still alive! I repeat, I am still alive!
Still working. I’m there four nights out of seven, which leaves precious little time to catch up on GLEE. Yet somehow I manage.
The kids are growing like things that grow a lot — what are they called? — weeds. Molly is almost three months old and […]

Twos and turkey

I remember when Owen was about two years old, his pediatrician sent him to get his growth plates X-rayed. He had just been in for a well-child checkup, and when she plotted his height and weight on the curve — well, it wasn’t a curve anymore, it was a straight line, and it was pointed […]

Preparations

Well, we are ready. We have the crib, the cradle, the diapers, the bottles. I have dusted everything I can reach. I have washed the wee baby clothes and sorted out my maternity leave. There is nothing left to do but complain.
I have been having false labor pains since Tuesday. I came home from work […]

That bullet I just bit didn’t taste so bad

So we bought a minivan last week. Ay! It’s two years old, a trade-in from the Jaguar/Volvo/Land Rover dealership, which makes me laugh because that is the first and last time I will ever have cause to be on the grounds of a freaking Jaguar dealership. When we test-drove it it hadn’t even been detailed […]

Happy Three, my Mackadoodle

Cormac Louis, better known as Mackie, turned three today. Seems like only yesterday he was coaxed into the world nearly two weeks late and yelling about it.

Luckily for me, when he wasn’t yelling he slept very sweetly.

And I mean sweetly.

As he grew, his hair did too. I miss those baby curls.

Though maybe I let it […]

Breaking news: We’re having a —

Well, yes, a baby, but there’s more, hold your horses.
Actually, no, not breaking news. I think I broke this on Facebook. Or you could say it broke when I told my mother and my neighbor.
BUT life wouldn’t be right if I didn’t make a big fancy deal on my Actual Blog: We’re having a GIRL!
A […]

Introducing Short Round

Hi, boys and girls, it’s me, Supa! I’m emerging from my huddle on the couch to say, I’m pregnant again! Couldn’t be more excited about a new baby. Kind of already over the pregnant thing, but I’ll put that down to the eternal, ever-present queasiness. Illustrated: I walked in the door last week and immediately […]

What I’ve learned from playing video games for a week straight

… That life is pretty awesome when all you do is play video games.
We had a super Christmas, you guys. Visited my family in Ohio, wore mustaches, ate a lot of delicious food and played a lot of games. We got a Wii for Christmas, so when we came home after the holiday, we set […]

Happy housiversary!

We moved in to our new house the week of Halloween 2008, which means we’ve now been here a whole year. We’ve seen all four seasons and every major holiday, memorized the quickest routes to school and work and grocery store, met a bunch of super people and started our own traditions.
It makes me a […]

Wedding notes

OK! I am rested and refreshed, recovered from our wedding weekend and back to show you the handful of pictures I managed to get. I guess I depended a little too heavily on my dad/the professional photogs because when I reviewed the pictures on my camera, they’re all of the hotel and the end of […]
