Well crap.All the talk of organization on another blog has my juices flowing to where I want to organize our pantry. Right now it's just a mess of everything I throw down there, with only a tiny bit of sense happening. …
Picture time! It's been a while.The turkey and herb-y roasted potatoes I made a while ago:The turkey kinda sucked (not my kind of spices), the potatoes turned out really yummy though.The Christmas spread that I made all…
Well, the B family get together was kinda fun. Except for the whole being-stuck-in-the-car-with-an-active-2yo-for-5+-hours part and being squished to the side because he has a giant carseat.So I'll see them all again in…
It's 1:30am. I've been sobbing for a few minutes now.I don't care what it takes, we're getting a damn hide-a-bed this year. Screw home improvement projects. If we don't get one, one of our household members won't see …
We survived Christmas. But we didn't do a whole lot, other than hang out at home so ds could play with his new toys and we could just hang out.A few things...~ Ds *loves* his animals. And boats. And the tree lights. …
Wow. The ornaments they sell nowadays are *ugly*!Ds and I stopped by Fred Meyer yesterday (I needed fresh parsley, my favorite grocery store doesn't carry it) to get a few things, and wandered off to the seasonal sectio…
Mmmm... my house smells like pine tree - but in a good way! The tree I bought smells wonderful, and still looks pretty good even though there's only 1 string of lights and only 13 ornaments on it. I might see what I ca…
I was pregnant super-mom on crack (or speed) yesterday. Really.From 2pm to 9pm I...- mailed some stuff at the PO- returned library books- checked out a book dh wanted to read- stopped by Safeway to get something on sale…
It's snowing. Again.I'm still sick. Ds and I are hacking, but nothing's coming up. I hate that stage.I haven't made much progress on ds's black longies. Oops.MIL called today, and she sounds way stressed. FIL even c…
This is why my dh rocks:What it looked like before:The entire stash setup with most of the baby's stuff (on the left) so far:Dh and I all dressed up for the dinner on Friday night (well, and a ds who didn't want to be le…
Huh. Apparently dh doesn't take me seriously about needing a break from ds or needing serious help with housework until I've had 3 major meltdowns and threaten to a) hire a maid the next day or b) find a daycare center …
Well crap, I've been tagged by Leslie.I confess:~ I haven't shaved (anywhere) in a week.~ I'm afraid of having two kids. Just the one we have is more than I can handle sometimes. Until he does something cute like come …
I'm being kicked.Right on my bladder and cervix. It's odd feeling.Why did this kid need an anterior placenta (which is what we think) instead of someplace else?I also have a buttload of dishes to do. Which I can't do b…
Hahaha... It's fun driving dh nuts, especially when I don't really mean to.He ordered my Christmas present last week, and was trying to get me all excited and snoopy about it. I had more pressing things on my mind like …
The only reasons I cleaned out my closet was becausea) The clothes that were in the now-empty space had dust collecting on them andb) We need to put that dresser with the TV someplace else (i.e. the closet) so dh doesn't…
I cleaned up my closet - a lot.Before, then after. I only wear a fraction of what was actually in there - most of it was old office clothes that I figured I'd use again some day. Not sure when "some day" is though, es…
I'm sick. Ds is sick. Dh spent last night on the mattress on the floor. The other day we pulled ds's mattress into our room because ds sleeps better in our room. So I think tonight ds and I will sleep in our big bed …
We had a *great* time today. I met a few more fun moms (and their little ones), including a few who want to come over this direction to play in the near future. Even met one who knows my SIL. How strange is that? Hop…
I hate the terrible 2's.Really, I do.Ds took a 1 hour nap, instead of his usual 2-3 hour nap. He's cranky and just plain pissed off. Which in turn makes me cranky and pissed. He will start babbling incoherently with s…
Mmmm... S'mores. Wood stoves rock.It's 5 degrees or less outside.I'm sitting in a 78 degree living room at 12:30 at night.Digesting s'mores.Can't get much better than that.Well, ds could sleep through an entire night o…
Bean's been doing acrobatics for the last half hour. Must like the peppermint hot chocolate and marshmallows.
Nothing too exciting around here.The bean kicks a few random times a day, but not very much.Had a few mommies and kids over today, that was fun. Hectic, but fun. I'm really trying to make more friends so ds has kids to…
All I got done yesterday and today was go to the gym (yesterday, I'm not going today), go grocery shopping, get some nice dress shoes, wrap presents, fold diapers, and call my mom. Oh, and crochet a little more on ds's …
It's 'late' and I'm not as tired as I should be. Ds and dh are in our bedroom supposedly sleeping, but I hear giggles and funny noises from there. I'm just gonna hang out out here until it gets quiet in there.I started…
We were out of the house most of the afternoon today.First stopped at the consignment shop. Found a nice maternity tank top (hey, it's 80 degrees in my house, not including the little furnace I'm growing) and I made my …
Oh. My. God.I'm going to gain the equivalent of my toddler in the next 5 months.Kinda puts things in an interesting perspective, huh?Yesterday the front of our house in daylight (you can almost see the living room behi…
