Afternoon Activity
Posted in Uncategorized, tagged family, parenting on June 28, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
So, I had this GREAT IDEA for a hot summer afternoon activity for the big boys. They were kind of whiny and bored and just wanted to watch videos, and it was close to 100 degrees on the thermometer, so outside play wasn’t that great an idea. I told them that they had to either [...]

As of today, Rainbow has outgrown two beloved baby accessories.
Maturation The First:
He spent last night in his crib, in his room, as opposed to his cradle in our bedroom.
It was a tough night for Mama.
He had just gotten a wee bit too large for the crib, and kept poking his hands through the bars and [...]

I’m sending cards to F and J today. I don’t know how many I’ve sent in total: lots. I think I’m going to slowly stretch out the contact to about one card with pictures to each a month, with another note in between for F. It’s so hard to predict what would make them happiest. [...]
Moon Pie Videos

Hopefully somebody recorded the entire event, but here are a few scenes from the big day. Daddy J had instructed me to plug in the camcorder so that battery would be charged (which I did) but he didn’t remind me (and I didn’t realize) that you have to flip a switch in order to get [...]

RC/Moonpie day was a huge success. It was blazing hot, but loads of fun. The Fishmaster got to ride in the parade and toss Moonpies from the Titans bus with the other young castmembers, and Rockinrolla walked and helped carry a banner. I watched the parade from a friend’s house, and then Grandma MJ and [...]

irony at 4am

I’m totally snickering at myself, and also dreading how exhausted I will be tomorrow.
(Oh wait, I mean today.)
Why is it that when Rainbow wakes every four hours or so for a bottle, or at least a paci-reinsert and a mobile restart, I think that surely he’ll be sleeping through the night soon and won’t that [...]

So, tomorrow we finalize Rainbow’s adoption.
I vascillate (can I just confess nerdily that that is one of my favorite words? vaseline + oscillate = AWESOME) between wanting to hoot with joy and give Rainbow a hug, and wanting to go throw up in the corner and wash the taste away with a tequila shot.
Good Lord [...]
skin care product review

So, I’ve done my share of tanning, especially from age 13-21 or so. Although, now that I think about it, I don’t think I ever wore sunscreen as a kid, either. I just got really brown and that took care of that. I didn’t sunburn.
But I was a big fan of tanning [...]
