I am posting by grace of my new Samsung Stratosphere, which is a particularly nifty toy. You see, various commitments have called dibs on basically every one of my waking moments. It's become rather tiresome. I long for a stretch of time which demands nothing of me, but until then, I have my fancy pants phone with its metallic fuschia cover to ( Read more... )

*Hello there internets.  Miss me?  you know you did.

*A couple of weeks ago we were in the park and a stranger asked Hubby if he knew Matisyahu.  Hey, hipstamom , do you know Billy Dee Williams??

*On Friday, we had a family day.  In the subway station on the way to the movies, I got recognized.  This is the first time this has happened to me.  I feel like ( Read more... )

Miss me?  You know you did. 
ANYWAY.  I'm in this rather odd state of mind where I oscillate between being overwhelmingly busy and lapsing into periods of staring off into space.  I feel like my brain is just not functioning properly and I spend a lot of time feeling clueless and awkward.  I imagine this has a lot to do with lack of sleep and That ( Read more... )

*Yesterday was pretty much made of awesome, despite Moo sleeping until 1something PM.  Moo went to a Gymboree make-up class and then  stayed for playgym and after that we headed toward Lincoln Square to go to B&N and meet Mel Brooks!  On the way I stopped and bought myself an adorable pair of mittengloves - moves? glittens?  Ooh, glittens.  After ( Read more... )

*I have had no appetite all day.  I forced myself to eat dinner and was careful with my selection to make sure I was giving myself a nutritional 1-2 punch.  I had a spinach salad with almonds and dried fruit and a piece of salmon.  So, I may have only had one meal today, but what a meal.  My nutritional haughtiness was ruined when I looked at my ( Read more... )

*Yesterday, I tried a "reset."  Moo was up at 10, napped at 3, bedtime was about 11:30.  NO DICE.  He didn't fall asleep until 2:30.  We thought it was maybe hunger, so we stuffed him like a turkey.  2:30.  Oh man.  AND THEN.  He nursed every 5-20 minutes until about 8...After that every hour or so.  I talked with Juli, who works with me and is an ( Read more... )

 *I almost started giggling at work thinking about something Moo did yesterday.  We were in the tub and I said, "Where's your nose?" and he shook his head and said "All wet."  HA!  I went through most of his parts and he said that for all of them and then on the second round he started pointing and he identified his
Nose, mouth, ears, head, eyes, ( Read more... )

*Last Tuesday night, Moo had the sick.  Luckily, the upset tummy has pretty much passed, but up until last night, he didn't want to eat, just wanted Mommy milk.  Since he is no longer and infant and can't nurse for 20 minutes and be full for 4 hours, he would nurse for 20 minutes...and then have to nurse again 20 minutes later.  All.night.long.   ( Read more... )

*Moo went all night without throwing up!  YAY!!!  He also nursed almost all night long, which was less yay for me, but more yay for him because he needed it.  He woke up this morning and had a major diaper event, but other than that, seems to be on the road to hunky-dory, kinehura, B'H.  I turned on Sesame Street and he didn't even notice when I ( Read more... )
