I feel a little strange about something. I was invited to my friend's son's bris. I'm vehemently opposed to circumcision for my own children and I understand how important it is for the Jewish faith but I still have a hard time with it. I was honored that she invited us...her son and Evan are buddies and her kid wanted his friends there. I declined ( Read more... )

So...my step father has colon cancer. He had his surgery today and it looks bigger and more vile than it did on his colonoscopy so things aren't looking good. Damn, sometimes I hate google. Sometimes the less you know the better. Luckily my mom is blissfully ignorant with her ineptitude computer-wise. I guess we'll just wait for the lymph node ( Read more... )

It's the middle of the night and I'm up worrying and obsessing over Evan and preschool. It seems that I only post about him when  there's a problem because that's when I really need the outlet. I don't know if he's spirited or if he's just a wild out of control kid or what. I'm really getting depressed over this. Would he have been better off if I  ( Read more... )

I got a lot done today while Evan's at school. Teagan's been sleeping too since she got her DTaP this morning. I'm having trouble managing the mounds of clothes in this house. Don't get me wrong, I'm extremely grateful for all of the freebie clothes that people have given me for my kids. It's just hard for me to store in a manner that makes sense ( Read more... )

I think this is the longest break I've ever taken from lj, but it's been quite an adjustment bringing another baby home. We're doing ok but Evan has had a really hard time adjusting. I really think I should have planned to have them closer together. He goes in waves. He'll be fine for a few weeks; his usual sweet self, and then he'll be hell-on- ( Read more... )

Not too many updates because of my numb hand and a pretty boring waiting game at this point. I thought for sure that this weekend would be it- we have a big snow storm coming through and a full moon...plus, I had plans to go out with the girls which fate would have loved to mess with. No dice. She'll come when she's good and ready. I know this, and ( Read more... )

This may be hard to type since the numbness in my left hand has progressed to the point where I simply cannot feel my middle finger, ring finger or pinkie. I think you could hack off my pinkie and I wouldn't feel a thing. I've lost my pincher grip because of this and can't open packages, hold a pen very well or, type very easily. Good thing I'm not ( Read more... )

I have the sweetest, most tolerant child in the world. He's such a good boy. Since I've been sick for pretty much the past 3 weeks, he's been so patient and asks me constantly if I'm feeling well. Tonight, he was overtired and a wild-man at Mimi's. When I finally got him out of the house in his pjs, he was dozing off in the car and right before he ( Read more... )

First of all, my rave. I'm seriously impressed with the response from the Hartford Police Dept. I didn't post about it, but I went with Jessica and her friend Chrissy to see Ani DiFranco in Hartford a couple of weeks ago. I almost bailed on the show but last minute decided to go. We got there late to miss the shitty opening acts and the Webster ( Read more... )

Today has been one hell of a long day to sum up a long weekend. My step-mother, Joanne, was here for 2 nights and my baby shower was yesterday at my house. Add to that the fact that I'm still not feeling well and the arthritis in my chest is almost crippling at times and I'm not a happy camper. The real pisser is that my chest was feeling so much ( Read more... )
