July 31, 2008: From the I've Been Meaning To Post This File
Comments: 17 | Categories: Jackson
I've been planning to write this post for, oh, nearly fifteen months? And I haven't quite gotten around to it because, oh, it seems about five hundred percent less important than it did fifteen months ago? Something like that. If...

July 30, 2008: Who's in charge here?
Comments: 6 | Categories: This Mom thing
Before I had Jack, when I imagined what kind of parent I would be, I saw myself as fairly no nonsense. I didn't plan to be Miss Hannigan or anything, but I had some definite ideas about what my kid...

July 28, 2008: The better things
Comments: 4 | Categories: Baby Cheung v2.0
I just sent a preview of the website I'm building to my client. And now I am writing here so I stop thinking about throwing up. One thing though: Phillip was pointing out that 99% of the world uses Internet...

July 27, 2008: Posted tonight because there will probably be no nap tomorrow either

Today? Sucked. Put molars, no nap, a baby who has lodged herself firmly under my rib cage with plans to stay there for at least the next six weeks, deadlines, dirty dishes, hormones, lack of decent sleep, and oh yeah...

Comments: 9 | Categories: Tending to the prince
It's 8 in the morning and Jack is only now starting to make waking up sounds. I'm taking advantage of my Free Computer Time... Jack doesn't normally sleep so late, for those of you who are all, "EIGHT O'CLOCK? HOW...

July 24, 2008: A thesaurus entry for "tired"
Comments: 11 | Categories: Baby Cheung v2.0

The Mighty Car So I am loving my new car, folks. Really. I can't tell you how much sliding doors have improved my quality of life. And I think we are going to appreciate our little starter minivan even more...

July 21, 2008: Whether or not to fall down on the job
Comments: 10 | Categories: Jackson
At his one-year appointment, Jack's pediatrician asked us if he was saying any words. Phillip and I offered "DA!" as evidence that sound actually does emit from Jack's mouth, but we did have to admit that "DA!" covered everything from...

July 18, 2008: It's great to drink to someone and I guess that you will do
Comments: 26 | Categories: About Me
We'll get to that talking thing later, all right? Because I have much more important news for today. I AM TWENTY FREAKING NINE. I don't really want to talk about it, but I feel twenty-nine deserves at least a passing...
