My 13-week-old is now in 6-9mo sleepers. That is all.
Been reading several books on living simply and such.We're actually not doing too bad in that regard. We've already agreed that the kids will only have one, maybe two activities a season (not five or six, we like our sa…
WTH is wrong with people?Ds2 is outgrowing his small diapers, so I'm sizing up. I pm'd a gal who had some for sale, and told her I'd love 3 of one color and 3 of another color. Sent her the paypal (which was quite a ch…
Wednesday kinda freaked me out.I went in to dh's work to drop off some popsicles because we're in the middle of a heat wave (who isn't right now?) and they have no air conditioning. Dh's bosses were in a meeting, so I d…
I finally figured out where the Pullman school system sucked my life force out of me! 6th grade.Mrs. Hackbarth.And just to make things fun, she lived a few houses up the street from me.They put me in advanced math, which…
Have lots more thoughts on this book. Need to process through them all. Definitely read it if you can. Makes me want to whip our finances into shape even more, and is making me think about stuff I say/think we 'need' …
Wow. This book totally explains why my MIL is the way she is with money. It's a little scary. The whole 'the white knight will sweep me off my feet, pay all the bills and I'll never have to worry about money again' th…
We're melting.It's 102 outside.82 degrees inside, with 2 air conditioners and various fans going.There's a reason I could never live down in Arizona/New Mexico/whatever.We're all cranky and sweaty.
Oh, forgot one little tidbit.Ds2 will be 12 weeks on Monday.He's 14ish pounds, and 25.5 inches.He's outgrowing some 3-6mo stuff already (and he's not even 3mo!).I'll be dragging out the new Roundabout in the next week or…
We said good-bye to an old family member yesterday.It was dh's baby. He had it for about half his life - longer than I've been around (well, so far). Poor guy. We just don't have the money right now to maintain and re…
How much poop can come from two little kids? A lot. I want to go on a Poop Patrol strike sometimes. It's enough that I have to deal with my own and sometimes the aftermath of dh's.I'm an idiot. See, I know the toaste…

Awww...Yummy bruschetta I've been making for myself the last few days:Garlic-Parmesan rolls, garlic olive oil, fresh basil from the garden, tomatoes, mozzarella or provolone. Yum. Will be even better when our tomatoes …
Great. Just great.Ds1 threw up tonight. He's not running a fever, but threw up what we attempted to feed him for dinner (waffles aren't all that scary though) and what I fed him for an early dinner/after nap snack (a p…
Any of you know of a discussion forum somewhere where I can ask dumb gardening questions?Like what on earth's eating my pole bean leaves?And when can we safely relocate our raspberry stalks?
Ds2 is teething. Crap.Ds1 was an early-ish teether, too. Had every single tooth by about 2yo. Including those mean, nasty molars.Yeah, those photos of the boys are cute. Ds1 gets jealous that ds2's almost always in m…
When do I get to sleep again?In 4 years?Today ds1 had the decency to sleep in.Instead of waking up at 8:34am, he got up at 8:48am. Yippee.I was up till 1am doing dishes, folding laundry, getting a load of stuff in the w…
Nothing to see here right now. I'm boring.Took ds1 for bike ride Friday and Saturday nights.Took both kids for a stroll Sunday night while dh went and saw X-Men 3 at the theater with a college friend of his that was vis…
Have I mentioned lately that my dh rocks?Well, he does.Took ds1 on a 2.5 mile bike ride around the neighborhood. Forgot how good it feels to get out and exercise. I'm sure I'll be feeling something tomorrow.First raspb…
Yes, we use cloth. Very Baby AIO's and Happy Heiny's to be exact. I do have a bumGenius on the way to try out - having a number of different little systems for both is getting annoying, and if a one-size thing like bG …
Okay, mamas, I need help.How do we keep a diaper on ds1 at night?Last night he took off his perfectly dry nightime diaper and peed all over his bed. All over it. This isn't the first time this has happened. We're sick…
Okay, Dad's actually doing okay. My mom got a little freaked out, but Dad didn't even bat an eye. Dad had an MRI last week that showed the tumor getting bigger. After she was able to discuss it with a few of Dad's doc…
It looks like going to the Saturday morning Farmer's Market has become a ritual. Today we discovered these amazing garlic-parmesan rolls. I already finished one, and they're a bit bigger than a baseball. I'm seriously…
