It is very difficult to keep a baby awake if he doesn't have any intention of being awake.  We were hoping he'd sleep better tonight if we kept him up later.  Grrrr.  I must have made a sort of half-dead kind of impression on Nathanael when he got home this morning because he spoke to me like a negotiator with a bomber and carefully took the baby ( Read more... )

Apparently the Iron Bowl is today.  I had no idea until

 Looking for bunk beds and we don't want to pay more than $300 for the frames themselves.

This is going to be a challenge.

What's your view on getting one from an eBay store?

Nathanael is taking a nap.  I am so jealous.

Being that I am the only female in this house today I am going to be cooking a very large amount of loaded mashed potatoes (sorry, Holly, they are--almost by definition--non-Vegan), wrapping some of the Christmas presents, as they have to be opened today by in-town family that is going home tomorrow, dye ( Read more... )

I feel like I'm coming down with something, but it may just be allergies.  I have a kitchen to clean and two pairs of pants to iron.  Also, Ben is crying.  But he had his first Mother's Milk bottle feeding today.  He took a couple of seconds to get it, but then it all came together.  I also noticed one eyelid closes a lot sooner than the other when ( Read more... )

Holidays are a very strange strain of exhausting.   Too much enjoying yourself is surprisingly tiring.  Today I took Ben to his two-week checkup, went to WalMart, then came home untl it was time to go to my sister Ruth's house for a Bonfire/Weinie Roast.  It's now ten-thirty and I am all worn out on warm fuzzies and Good Will.  See you tomorrow!

POST!!!

There we have it.

So, yes, God rest you merry Gentleman!  God rest you with your electric guitars and your very strong base line!  I wish I actually knew the words to "Carol of the Bells ( Read more... )

I have absolutely no intention of eating any taco dinner stuff this evening.  This is good*.

*This is good because I have already consumed WAAAAY too much milk and so my stomach is already rebelling and doing something like tacos to it would just be inhumane.

In other news, Thanksgiving Vacation has begun.  More houses were looked at.  I'm a little ( Read more... )
