  • The yearly crud

    I don't remember it being this bad last year. Of course we always get the yearly crud that gets spread around the area - usually just an annoying cold or whatever. Hubby already took a few sick days, and is now happily…

  • Oh, how I long for vacation and/or personal days.Hubby was pretty much out of commission with whatever nasty crud he dragged home - like a mini flu or something. Like we stuck a childlock on the master bedroom door and …

  • 25 weeks and change already!

    Yeah. So, 25w2d, or so. Whatever.My lungs are starting to get squished again. That I could do without. Last time at 28w. Closest comparison I could find without digging too hard. Because I'm lazy. I fully admit tha…

  • Play green houses and wishful garden thinking...

  • Snow, kids, crafts, shoes. That's right.

    Fun in the snow. The packed down "ground" is actually 2-3 feet above where the sod/grass is.I swear, the 4yo picked these out all on his own. Apparently he likes red.Eh, whatever keeps him from pooping in 'em. When th…

  • Last week's 24w midwife appointment. I'm a textbook pregnancy apparently.Up a grand total of something like 11.4 pounds, babe's heartbeat was 160-some, no protein or sugar, and fundal height is 25cm. Which, if I rememb…

  • Folding diapers. Again and again and again. I have so many types of inserts and certain ones go with certain diapers and such, that hubby would be utterly confuzzled if he had to do it himself. And this is just two l…

  • Ah, gotta love fluffy mail. The "new" stash for the babe so far. Yeah, can you tell we like bright colors? And hemp? Although all those microfiber dealies were freebies I was *not* expecting in the packages. Eh, mayb…

  • My day so far?21mo meets a Windex bottle. Hopefully hubby won't leave Windex (and other crap like Comet and such) out again. That was fun. The 4yo won't. shut. up. Holy hell. Remember how in middle school you spent …

  • We got a new bed! Yippee!!So, I've been whining and complaining about not having enough room in the queen. Today, I called up the "local" furniture store to see when they closed, and somewhat hurridly* packed up the ki…

  • Yes, more seeds. I'm weird. Yup, purple podded peas, that's right. Then there was fluffy mail. Although it looks like I need to replace the elastic in the yellow one, unbeknownst to me. Just because I can do it doe…

  • I didn't get to sleep until almost 6am this morning. Yes, 6am. I couldn't get comfortable, hubby had a sleepy hissy fit when I was trying to adjust a pillow between my legs and under the belly (which, come on dude, you…
