I was going to write a very comprehensible post about Ramadan, but I have a headache caused by lack of caffeine because I switched from coffee to tea this morning and thus am not much in the mood to try a craft one at the moment. But there's a dozen things I want to post about, so here we are, with yet another list of things.

1. The switch from ( Read more... )

Charlie turned one year old on Tuesday - we had his birthday party last week. I think I photographed the exact moment he realized he was eating a birthday cupcake.

I keep wondering why no one comments on my LJ posts anymore, and then I remember it's because the LJ posts I've been writing have been in my head only; I never actually get the chance to commit them to keyboard, and thus no one can comment on them.  Which is a shame, because seriously, I've been writing some absolutely brilliant LJ posts lately.   ( Read more... )

Bill took the day off work today, and made the offer of watching Charlie this morning while Andrew was in school so I could use the time to do whatever I liked.  I ended up taking my laptop when I took Andrew to school, and camped in at my favorite coffeeshop and sat for about three hours, writing, because I haven't had much of a chance to get more ( Read more... )

It's 9pm, both boys are (miraculously) down for the night, I have at least an hour and a half before my brain is so exhausted it shuts itself down....

And I have no idea what to do nextI mean, it's not like I don't have enough to do.  There are photographs on the camera of both children being adorable, plus a video of me trying to get Charlie to ( Read more... )

1. I've been trying to post all day, but literally every time I've sat at the computer to type, Charlie has woken up.  Which is ridiculous, since I've been making some serious noise in the kitchen, and he sleeps through that, but just sitting and opening the laptop is enough to wake him.  ARGH ( Read more... )

Guess what!

( Charlie weighs more than the cat! )

So many things...

1. Charlie pooped! Only a mom could possibly be excited about this, but he's been more or less constipated for a week now, or producing solid little poops, and the poor baby has been super uncomfortable and unhappy.  This is one of the reasons why we were trying formula roulette, and yesterday I'd nearly given up, because he was ( Read more... )

I meant to do a photo dump yesterday, but the day ran away from me.  As most days tend to do these days.

I knew two kids would be tricky.  I did not realize it was going to be this kind of tricky.  If that makes sense, and it probably doesn't unless you also have two kids (or more), in which case, I would berate you for not warning me, except (a) ( Read more... )

Note that this was written several hours ago, and is only being posted now because I couldn't get on the internet while at Andrew's soccer. But there's an additional update at the end. Andrew’s in his soccer class, and Bill came home early so Charlie’s at home with him, so I’ve got a bonus 45 minutes to write a quick entry/update on life in the ( Read more... )
