If these kids don't stop crying and screaming and don't take at least one nap today, you'll be seeing me on your 11 o'clock news.
Oh, sorry, the special helmet and suit are just for the radiation. Dad just kept going on and on about it at dinner the other night. His scar's really healed up, but the one side of his face is still a bit droopy. I'm…
Looks like ds2's eyes are a medium chocolate brown. Just light enough that you can see those little spoke-looking things in 'em. Very pretty. And his hair may be lightening up, or *my* eyes are getting worse. Our poo…
We didn't do a whole lot today. Dh took the day off because it was our anniversary today. I took a shower around 5pm. Dh went and got donuts for a *very* late breakfast, and we went out for Mexican tonight (hey, I've …

In lighter news...My toddler knows Home Depot's logo. Every time he sees it (at HD, on receipts, postcards, whatever), he starts chanting his toddler-speak version of Home Depot. He happens to like Home Depot. Think w…
Plumbing leak is fixed. We may need to rip out the carpet and carpet pad down in the room because it was *soaked*. My choice of flooring down there would be linoleum - cheap and easy to clean. Dh thinks it'll all dry …
Happy Mother's Day to everybody out there!I know he means well. And he tries so hard. But dh just isn't that great at multi-tasking or concentrating on several different things (or people) at once. Just one thing at a…

Great. My glasses are broken. I'm slightly blind without them. Great.Between coughing up the midwife fee upfront, replacing the garage door and having guests so often, I can't justify getting new glasses anytime in th…
I'm kinda lame, I don't go to Starbucks get coffee. I go there for the hot chocolate. I don't have a milk steamer. So anyway, I just have one of those reloadable cards and stick a certain amount on it a month. Lesl…
Boobs are doing better. Producing enough to squirt ds2 in the face, but not enough to soak the entire couch cushion in one sitting. And they're not rock hard anymore. Yay.Been running around yesterday and today with d…
It's barely noon. I've changed 7 poopy diapers since 1am. No clue how many more wet ones though.I lost my appetite for the yogurt I was eating. And you know how many wipes we've been going through? We've been washing…

Good news and bad news...Good news is that at 2.5 days post-partum, I'm almost done bleeding. It's like I'm at the end of my period - where you could get away with not changing your pad if you didn't want to at every pe…
