This sick day week has been rough. So, from now on, you may refer to me by my super hero moniker, The Germinator. I am scary and snotty and I wield rubbing alcohol, a nasal aspirator and sparkly bracelets. Virus, you're going down, kiddo.
Too hot to handle.
I have spent the last 3 days with a very sick baby and a very far away husband. I have spent the last 3 days covered in snot. I have spent the last three days with tissues tucked into every crevasse of my outfit. And no, I do not stuff my bra. I have spent the last three days worried ...
Lest we forget
that this week also marks the two year anniversary of when this little rascal found his way into our lives. This is when we first caught a glimpse of him, a little ball of energy and spunk.

A day in the life (at the beach).
7:40am: Roll over in bed and put my arm around the little baby who is snuggling up against me. Fight "awake" for a few minutes, wrestling with the last of my dreams, until I hear "Hi! Hi, mommy!" and smile at the day. 8:00am: Bring the baby into my parents' bed and all snuggle under the ...
