bed time giggles...
Last night in the bubble bath "Uff-da momma!", after almost slipping. Not only knows how to say it, but the proper context as well. That's my boy! Course we also have to say good-night to everything. Literally "goodnight faucet, good night squishy blocks". Kitty's must be petted good night, and we need multiple hugs and kisses from mom and ( Read more... ) -
Plague Pit!
After a week of everyone being sick, I thought we were done with this. Nope, now argentlupin is sick again... I hate the feeling of living in a plague pit. -
Daylight stupid time....
I really dislike how daylight-stupid time makes my entire household feel jet-lagged. (even the cats are grumpy and off schedule) If I'm going to feel like this I should at least have gotten to go on a trip somewhere. Hopefully Viktor will be more cooperative this morning as he starts to get more into routine an hour earlier. Yesterday was ( Read more... ) -
Parenting and String.
Parenting
I've come to the conclusion that at this stage of the game, a lot of parenting involves saying things (with a straight face and meaning them) that you never thought would need to be a sentence. This weekend's example:

B-day feast
Baronial B-day feast went well. I'd have to check with others to find out how the actual event went. Quoting someone I hugged at the end of the event "I haven't seen you at all today. You were in the kitchen the whole time." Why yes I was, and I had a great time. Everything came out scrumptious and looked great (I blame our fearless ( Read more... ) -

I'm not really sure how it happened but I seem to have taken almost 4 months off from posting to LJ. I think my last actual post was at the end of October.... I think it was a mix of any number of things. So here's the quick update for any who care ( Read more... ) -
Random.....
It's been a while since I posted. I have a lot running through my head after a busy day at work. So I thought I'd post a few random bits from the last couple of weeks. The subject matter jumps around a lot.
Weeble - a small egg shaped toy that is often used as a weighted hammer, currently pronounced "whee-el" by the little man.

We do buy our child real toys...
..... Though some days I wonder why. Yesterday he really really wanted to play with a spatula and my glasses case. He refused actual toys to beg for the spatula. And yeah, I gave it to him. He played with my glasses case all the way home from trader joes (had to get coffee) last night. Actually pushed aside real toys for the silly thing. We ( Read more... ) -
Fashion....
Dear retailers/manufactures,
It is fall. That is Boot season. Since god awful F-ing hideous, who invented these skinny jeans are back in fashion, I expect a lovely selection of knee high boots available to us. We would like more color options than Black and Brown. Seriously, Red would be nice. Why did you make the toes so stupid pointy! ( Read more... )
