stomped on crunchy leaves, was yard sold, bought about 5000 almonds for about 5 dollars, mashed an avocado, called Lola "Loly Guacamole", realized that my new candles actually smell like B.O., purchased a Disney Princess Snuggie, returned a Disney Princess Snuggie, saw 2 giant feathers, missed my angels, wished I could share a funny story with my angels, remembered that my angels probably already knew it, said ...
T.G.I.S.
I made it. I survived my first week back from maternity leave. Yes, I work part time, (and by part time, I mean 3 days a week, for quarter days, at that) but I can't say that I'm not thrilled to have my first week behind me and my little baby before me, as she sits here, sucking on her big ...
Do you want to know what happened before I met my Prince Charming?
Then make sure to go to Fifty First (j)Dates and check out Date #23, I'll Take the Meatballs, With a Side of Instability. You just may know the author. You just may know the guy I wrote about. I hope not. Oh, and 2005 JDate guy? I hope you're not reading this! And, if you are... well, thanks for the steak!
pat the mommy (on the back)
You're stranded on a deserted island. You can only bring one thing. Obviously, that thing would be your baby. Duh. But we're talking objects, here. My suggestion? Pat the Bunny, of course! First, it's entertainment. Books are always good things to have on a deserted island. Second, it has a mirror! This way, you can always check out your new seaweed hair wrap and ...
busy and bandaged
I'm sorry. I've been neglectful. Please don't think that I don't love you anymore. I do! Oh, how I do. It's just that I've had some things going on. I'm ok. I promise. Just going through lots of band-aids and kisses and, perhaps, bowls of chocolate ice cream, and, definitely, old photos. Specifically, old Lola photos. You see, Lola made me a mommy. You see, Lola is going to be turning 3. You ...
deja vu, me & you
My husband is a wonderful, wonderful man. He has no problem being silly with me. As a daddy, he is as sweet as sugar All in all, a keeper, he is. However, the man cannot surprise me. Maybe it's our deep connection. We do have a sort of ESP. Don't believe me? Here. Here's your proof. However, I believe it is ...
“Congrats, Daddy!”
I know I've been a little quiet. Please excuse my absence. You see, I was celebrating Yom Kippur. I was mourning the end of my maternity leave. I was going back to work. But, it's all good. And I will share more about it. But, I have a baby to squeeze. I missed out on, approximately, 2,398 kisses today, and I must make up ...
looking through my old vacation photos…
...from Maui, in June of 2009, and wondering, if I'll ever be able to feel this relaxed, or squeeze my way into a bandeau bikini, ever again. I'm thinking, probably not. But, I'm also thinking, totally, totally worth it.
“Delicious,
it's like kissing a rainbow!" -The Husband, after giving the baby a little smooch. Maybe he is getting better with his colors, after all.
5 months
Tomorrow, my daughter will turn 5 months old-- which is really weird, considering she was just born 25 minutes ago. I don't know why, but earlier today, I tried wrapping her up in the soft, worn blankets given to us from the hospital. In those first days, she would be swaddled in two of these blankets, as ...
