Its been 3 birthday parties in less than a week and a half. Back to back parties yesterday and today. I am tired. Alex is worn out. I loved seeing all the people I saw. I love the kids I helped celebrate birthdays with. Its hard though when I feel like I didn’t get much […]

Dear Alex,
Thank you for being such a good buy at Casey’s birthday party today. I know you had lots of fun, I can tell by the grass stains. I am glad that you and your godfather had time to hunt for bugs. He says you are an excellent grass hunter already.
I also appreciate you taking […]

I realized tonight that I got involved in AAOnline ten years ago in November. That is scary to me! Obviously a bajillion things have changed both in me and in my life since then but still. I barely even recognize that girl!
Things have been super busy at home. Not in a bad way, just in […]

This weekend is so busy its crazy. We have 2 birthday parties to go to, one for my god-daughter on Saturday and one for a friend’s son’s first birthday on Sunday.
My god-daughter is at the age that it is getting hard to shop for her. I thought about getting her some fashion jewelry […]

Sometimes I wonder if I am the only one that gets frustrated we doing and redoing and redoing and redoing what my toddler has undone. I often wonder if it is better just to let him destroy the house and then clean it up after he is in bed.
In the time it took me to […]

I have to say, I have had an interesting day being home with a sick baby. I have learned a few things though.
-If there is a single pile of poop in the backyard, my son will find it. Not only will he find it though, he will inevitably step in it.
-When you are 16 […]

Alex’s cold is going down into his little chest. If it keeps up, its going to mean another trip to the doctor. I hate having to take him in. It reminds me how helpless I am to really help him. When he got so sick in January, it was really scary […]

So the day was good even though it started out with Alex and I fighting over him taking a nap. Alex 1 Mom 0. We got to the park at 12:30ish. The place was packed. We ended up having to park on a side street and hike in. […]

I spent most of today running errands and getting things done. It was good but I think I wore the little monster out. His cold is kicking his butt in a big bad ugly way. He slept ok last night with the help of some cold medicine but by late morning he was already asleep […]

I haven’t really posted about this much but… a couple years ago, I was diagnosed with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. I spent the first several months after it adjusting what I ate, how I lived, what I took and when. Things leveled out some after I had Alex. I still take my B12 shots twice a […]

Julie’s birthday party was really nice. Alex was (mostly) well behaved, especially since the house was not kid proofed and we were out way past his bedtime. I kinda had to do the 2 steps behind him at all times method tonight and it wore me out.
Alex has a cold so that […]

Alex and I had a decent day at home. He whined and fussed, I cleaned. He yelled and pouted, I did laundry. He griped and tantrumed, I cooked. He slept, I slept. Ok so maybe only the last of those was fun to do together. And the rest of them got done very piecemeal and […]
