Today marks the last day of March. And of course, we find Cameron sick again. Let me just say, I’ve been waiting for this day for a while. March has just thrown a lot of hard stuff our way. And I’m really just ready for it to be over. I’m ready for a fresh start….
Dan
Birthday Month! Floating On Air
Birthday Month Part One: Party Planning Birthday Month Part Two: Icing on Top I like to do everything myself. I have grandiose ideas in my head that I can only imagine myself fulfilling. And I would never want to saddle these elaborate schemes on loved ones. So when people offer to help, I usually just…
iPhoneography: Perfect Day
If you’ve been reading my blog lately, you’ll know that March hasn’t been the easiest. Returning to work, Starting daycare, Sick days, Car accident, … I am just so ready for this month to be over with. And this week I seriously believed I had hit rock bottom and gotten a hypothetical concussion in the…
Role Reversal
Due to a few unforeseen circumstances, Cameron has not been able to go to daycare at all this week. And except for today, Dan has been at home with Cameron each day. Now, on Monday, both of us were pretty sick, but since then, I’ve been at work and Dan has been playing Stay-At-Home-Dad. On the first…
Just What I Need
Husbands. Sigh. I think I speak for most, if not all wives when I say that they can get under our skins. My husband? He doesn’t really see the mess on the counter that needs to be wiped up. My husband? He isn’t necessarily the best diaper changer. My husband? He isn’t really handy around…
Sick of the Sick
Daycare is going fine. The teacher is nice, the kids have fun, and Cameron is so messy and played out by the end of the day that it is super easy to get him bathed and in bed. Except that daycare isn’t going fine. Not at all. Because we’ve been struck with The Daycare Plague….
Never Too Early
The click of the lock startles us. We look at each other and then turn towards the door. Someone’s coming. It is just he and I right now, but we’re not complete. We’re waiting.As the door opens, my baby toddles over. He gets just close enough, then stops. Smiles. Waves. Turns to me.Look, Mommy! Do…
Pledging
I’ve been blogging for a long time. Eight years to be exact. And I know that blogging is an excellent way to network and meet new people. I actually met my husband through blogging. True story! We met online by reading each other’s blog. The first thing my husband ever said to me? It’s kind…
iPhoneography: Commuting
We’re currently in the middle of Apocalypse Daycare which has brought with it high temperatures, runny noses, coughs, serious baby malaise, and lots of sleepy snuggles. (Can someone please remind me why daycare is so awesome?). While all of this has been going on, my maternity leave ended and I went back to work. I am writing…
Apple Cinnamon Butterscotch Muffins
I’m not going to lie. Sometimes I just feel like I can’t quite juggle everything that needs to be done in order to be the perfect Mom and wife. And then I try to make food. For me, the mixing of ingredients is just a stirring of emotions, a culmination of my competencies heating up…
No Mom Talk Mondays: The Grocery Game
Life is going to change real fast! In a week, I’ll be going to back to work while still trying to manage a household. I’m already struggling and I can at least grocery shop during the day and start dinner at 4:30pm. I’ll be surprised if this house doesn’t crumble once I return to work….
