Sick AGAIN!
We have had a big weekend planned. We are were going to East Texas to take the kids camping for the first time. But guess what happened? Mazzy woke up Wednesday night with a tummy ache. Which turned into a little bit of puke, a little whining, and a good amount of diarrhea. Jack also [...]
House Envy
Hi, my name is Amy, and I have House Envy. See, our house is kind of a piece of crap. Now don’t get me wrong, I like it, it’s the first house we’ve ever owned, our kids were born here (well, came home from the hospital to here), it could be much worse and all…but [...]
How Was Our Weekend??
Well, we made it through the holiday weekend. Naturally, we didn’t get to do what I had planned. It seems that every single weekend I have made plans for us, at least one of us has been sick or otherwise unable to participate: St. Patrick’s Day, the Arts Festival, Prairie Fest, Mayfest, Cinco de Mayo, and now [...]
Off With their Heads!
Can we talk about how much I fucking hate Disney Princesses? Specifically, the books? I can deal with the old-school Snow White & Cinderella movies. But these books that people keep buying for my kid?? COME ON! Have you ever read one of these books? Especially the condensed versions marketed to preschoolers such as mine? [...]
They’ve Flown the Coop
We have a cute little birdhouse that my mother in law gave me when we first moved into our house. It hangs just outside of our dining room window, and for the last couple of years, some lovely little wrens have taken up residence each spring & fall to have their babies. Time always seems [...]
Like a Cheap Suit
I’m falling apart. My right eye has been swollen – and by swollen I mean practically shut – since last Thursday. I went to my doctor’s office on Friday & saw the nurse practitioner, who said, “Hmm. Hmmm. I have NO IDEA what’s causing it, but I’m going to give you something for it.” She [...]
Let the New Phase Begin!
I feel that change is in the air, and unlike many people, I like change. I got my new website up & running (for the most part). I’m keeping my fingers crossed about an exciting possibility at work that would be an incredible new direction for my career. I have tickets to see Wilco not [...]
Lunch
On occasion, Brett & I will meet up for lunch. It’s one of the rare times when we get to eat a meal alone & uninterrupted. It’s also one of the rare times we get to eat at restaurants in the city. If we do go out on weekends, we don’t often venture very far [...]
Not the Swine Flu!
This last week & a half has been H-E-double-hockey-sticks at our house, not because of the swine flu, but because of some kind of nasty virus/sinus infection-causing-mutant. I guess Mazzy actually had it first a couple of weeks ago, because I vaguely remember her being a little less than her normal self. Since she hardly [...]
