August 31, 2007: Sleep, the Holy Grail
Comments: 3 | Categories: Tending to the prince
The baby is finally down for a nap, after an hour of rocking and singing (interrupted with a shower for me, because all the rocking and singing was getting ridiculous.) When Jackson was first born he slept in a pack...

August 30, 2007: How do I love you, TiFaux?
Comments: 7 | Categories: Music & TV
A very traumatic thing happened over the summer and I will refer to it as The Great TiFaux Hard Drive Crash of 2007. Plainly put, I have not had my TiFaux for over a month. A MONTH, people. I have...

My aunt passed away this morning. In her memory, I am posting the Ugliest Bag To Ever Grace The Internet: Oh yes, I AM the ugliest bag in existence. It's like someone went and purposefully found the most hideous print...

Hurry up and look before my friends freak out about having their preshhhussss on the big scary internet! Cuteness, yes? This is what four babies look like when their parents, all eight of them, are dancing and whooping and laughing...

I am winding down from a most excellent weekend with wonderful friends. Four couples, four babies, lots of talking and heaps of food make for a fabulous, if exhausting, time. Once I get my pictures uploaded I will treat you...

You are all terrible parents. Falling off the bed? Chugging Clorox? Baking your child to a crisp in the sun? FAT LIPS? I do feel better, thank you! Now, in lieu of something interesting to say... If my mother would...

August 19, 2007: Someone call Child Protective Services
Comments: 21 | Categories: Tending to the prince
Well, I finally did it. After weeks of feeling rather smug about my ability to quickly and fearlessly clip my baby's fingernails, this morning I snipped off a huge chunk of skin in addition to the nail. Not just a...

August 16, 2007: I have a degree in procrastination
Comments: 5 | Categories: Awesome
Phillip gave me this book for my birthday: How I Write: The Secret Lives of Authors. I was pretty excited because for the most part I really love books about writing. (Stephen King's On Writing is my favorite in this...

August 15, 2007: Sleep, TV and Music: guess which one the baby likes best
Comments: 5 | Categories: Tending to the prince
After a couple days of truly awesome sleep, enough so that Phillip and I were starting to bat around the "sleeping through the night" phrase, the last day or two have been ROTTEN. What is this eating every two hours...
