Parenting glee post
This past week has been crazy! After getting over the most intense stomach flu and dehydration I can remember, I had to start packing to move super far away!
While I packed and our apartment was in varying states of chaos, my daughter was amazing! It wasn't always safe for her to crawl around but she handled her baby chair confinement well.I took ( Read more... ) -
Moving day
We're on our way to our new home! The movers picked everything up this morning. It took less than a half hour to load everything onto the truck! All the utilities were paid and shut off. Finally, our apartment was checked for damage. Luckily we're clean, considerate people so we will be getting some money back from our final month of rent. We're ( Read more... ) -
Body bits
I'm off to an end of the year luncheon. I'm wearing children's knit tights. They're even longer on me than they were when I bought them. I guess sometime though out the winter, my legs thinned out a little. You'd never know it by looking considering I was layered in tights, leggings and pants and still managed to numb all of my toes! Spring is like ( Read more... ) -
Spring
Thirsty! I'm working on my 5th liter of water. It's almost like the more water I drink the more thirsty I feel!
I've been having a great week! The weather is still chilly but I went out for a moment today without a coat! Soon enough I'll be able to wear fewer than 3 long sleeve shirts at a time!
I can't wait to wear more dresses and skirts without ( Read more... ) -
Angelic Pretty Mook
Yesterday James picked up the Angelic Pretty Mook for me. I got to look at it this morning! I love it! The pictures are amazing. I love having the collection of prints and styles. I feel very lucky to have it! He brought other surprises home but they're for white day and my birthday! I love presents!

Chaos like cake
I'm working on taking a deep breath and letting go-
I'm looking for a new job. Life is chaotic, messy and delicious, just how I like it. I'm trying to plan out as much as I can. I don't really think I can plan too much out though. I tried that once. It didn't work. I'm happier as a result. I can have goals and direct and things that I want- but ( Read more... ) -
No Oni!
Today was Setsubun. (節分) It's that awesome bean throwing holiday in Japan where you throw beans (or now peanuts) out your front door while shouting 鬼は外福は内 (Oni wa soto, fuku wa uchi). Thus welcoming good fortune into your household. I tossed my peanuts and chanted. I feel more fortunate already!
After all that, I went up to our local recycle shop. I ( Read more... ) -
Friday relief!
It's Friday! I'm on a very much delayed train to work. I am happy to go to work. Still, I will be very happy to be at home relaxing this afternoon! This morning a friend from the gym is stopping by to pick up some of Mimi's first year clothes. I have about 6 or 7 boxes of new and like new clothes from 0-12 months. My friend has a grand daughter who ( Read more... ) -
ERs in rural Japan
Mimi ate dinner around 6:30. Scrambled eggs, rice and some veggie purée. At 7:15 she started fountain vomiting. The most we could do was help her to sit up and wait for it to stop. James got the bath ready while I wiped her down and got her undressed. That was when I noticed that every piece of skin exposed to the vomit was breaking out in fat ( Read more... )
