This morning started out pretty well. Despite screaming from 11:20 p.m. to 11:45 and then again from 2:34 a.m. to 2:47 (it’s getting shorter!), and then waking at 5:14 a.m., which I ignored, Pie actually fell back asleep and didn’t wake till 7:30, which is practically a record. Doodles was so excited it’s Halloween that [...]

I try to keep these posts foul-language free, but there’s no way around it: Last Saturday, I was shitfaced. So drunk. Completely out of control. I had a sudden flashback yesterday: Me, dancing on a table. That one wasn’t totally my fault. There was a low table. My cousin-in-law said, “Hey, look at that! No [...]

Doodles wants to travel. The list of places he wants to go grows daily. “Can we go to South America?” “Can we go to Egypt?” “Can we go to China?” I give him a stock answer. “Of course we can go to those places! But we can’t go until you start eating energy food, because [...]

Long-time readers of this blog will remember that my son has eating issues. As in, he doesn’t. Oh, okay. That’s not true. He’s a little carboholic but his lips have never been sullied by an actual, real, whole vegetable. Never. Ever. He tolerated the stage one purees as a baby, but never progressed to stage [...]

I’ve blogged a few times before about how I’m shopping impaired. I hate shopping for myself. Can’t stand buying clothes. Just don’t see the point about shoes. They’re something for your feet to keep them from getting stones embedded in them. Pie has not inherited this lack of clothing/shoe lust from me. A while ago, [...]

That Pie and her temper tantrums. Oh are they a force to be reckoned with! In the morning, I lie in bed, pretending I can’t hear the screams coming from downstairs. Doodles is finally starting to sleep in. You know, till about 6:20 a.m., which is heaven. Pie on the other hand is up daily [...]
