I woke up at 3am and never got back to sleep...so if this is scattered, there's good reason for that. I'm not even going to try to make it make sense ( Read more... )

yeah, okay, it's been 12 weeks since I wrote anything. I kinda have a good reason. I'm 10 weeks pregnant and so far, it's been as unpleasant as the last time. I was in the ER 12/8 and I've had three doctor appointments since then. There is hope, though. I have been put on chemotherapy drugs to keep the nausea down, and it's working pretty well ( Read more... )

Boy is just about two years old. He's smart, he's inquisitive, he's talkative and understands even more, and he is willful and stubborn. *sigh* The T. Twos have hit ( Read more... )

It has been a difficult time. The challenges of roommates, issues with my doctor, Boy being sick, summer tensions. I've all over the place. One minute I'm laughing, the next I'm in tears. Last minute, I considered taking a guitar class, and in an epiphany, decided that dropping a bunch of stuff to pick up a bunch of new stuff was insanely stupid. I ( Read more... )

Those exceeding government limits - 33.5 inches for men and 35.4 inches for women will be given dieting guidance if after three months they do not lose ( Read more... )

So I took Boy to a Chicken Pox Party a few weeks ago. So far, I really can't tell if he caught it or not, but the general protocol is to stay home in isolation in case he is contagious. It's starting to drive both of us crazy ( Read more... )

I'm actually sitting down...it's a novelty these days. Beloved is off for a 10-day meditation retreat, and keeping up with Boy has been an adventure. He runs and climbs everywhere and everything. I've started looking for a mommy's helper...a tween willing to hang out and play while I'm upstairs or outside...as a means of maintaining my sanity ( Read more... )

I will be the first to admit that I haven't a clue about current hotties, in any category. I just don't follow such things. However, an article about Miley Cyrus caught my eye because the starlet was so embarrassed about some photos that were posted in Vanity Fair. "I took part in a photo shoot that was supposed to be 'artistic' and now, seeing ( Read more... )
