Day 180: A Letter To My Former Self…tardy to the party I know!

So yeah, I’ve been busy this week with the start of online summer school and my MIL being in town and swimming lessons beginning.  So I was tardy to the party in seeing the “A Letter To My Former Self” thingy that Raising Madison put together.  I’m hoping it’s better late than never!  Oh, and [...]

Day 179: Finally…Some more Sunshine and a Kiddie Pool Too!

Last Thursday, on my drive home from work, I decided it was time to buy the kiddie pool.  We had two straight days of sunshine and I actually broke a sweat.  So once I picked Abby up from daycare, we made our usual stop at Target, purchased said pool, and raced home to try it [...]

Day 178: We're Mobile People!

For the longest time, we’ve been on pins and needles, wondering when Abigail would figure out that rolling back and forth was not the easiest way to get from point A to point B.  Well a week ago, she finally figured it out.  It’s not full on crawling…more like scooting or inch worming…but still, she’s [...]

Day 177: It's Official. I am made of sugar.

People have joked with me in the past, that if something has sugar in it, I’ll eat it…well as long as it doesn’t have any other icky things in there that I don’t like.  I mean the office ladies figured out I was pregnant before I even told them b/c I stopped eating the chocolate [...]

It's 7:55AM and I've already got a post script to Day 176

If you read my post below, you will know that I’m freaking exhausted.  And the last edit I made is where I wrote about last night, where Abby was up 3 times and ready to part at 5:45AM. And here is the progression of my thoughts/tweets… So yeah, I’ve had some teary moments this morning.  [...]

Day 176: I'm thinking I've jinxed myself

So yeah, I knew I shouldn’t have bragged out loud to the interweb about the fact that Abby was such a good sleeper at night.  I mean at 7 weeks she started doing 6-8 hour stretches.  And by 2 months, we knew we could get a solid 8 hours out of her.  Three months…forget about [...]

Day 175: Dear Boobs…(a love/hate note)

Dear Boobs, Sunday, June 20th, marks the last day I used your services for nourishment for my daughter. I have lots of feelings about this…lots of love and lots of hate. And because I generally like to be left with loving feelings, I’ve decided I will start off with the hate part of this and [...]

Day 172-???: A Much Needed Break

So yeah, it’s the last week of school.  On Friday my classroom looked like this… And it’s probably looking worse this week.  And to top it off, there are grades to be done, students to argue with over the fact that a deadline is a deadline, and trying to wrap my brain around the fact [...]

Post Script to Day 171: I need a little help

So way back in the day, when I wasn’t back to work yet, a mommy blogging friend asked if I would be down to guest blog for her.  I of course said yes, but as the whole working momma thing started, this request got lost in the whirlwind of my life.  But now, I’m ready [...]

Day 171: I'm somewhere else today…

So a bloggy friend of mine is on vacation right now, basking in sun and sand of a South Carolina beach, while it’s probably still overcast on the PNW.  :::Will summer ever effing get here?:::  She asked if I’d be willing to fill in for her.  Absofreakinglutely!  I mean it’s not like I have a [...]
