Irritating As Pantyhose Full of Bees

My MIL is in town for an undetermined length of time. She came in because my insane SIL had a milk duct removed from one breast and apparently needed live-in full-time nursing following the 1-hour outpatient procedure. Who am I to judge, though ( Read more... )

Culling

A few weeks back Miette asked if we could rearrange and redecorate her room, so today we're getting started on that process. And good GRACIOUS there is so. much. stuff in her room. So many tiny plastic trinkets that she's collected from various sources, and random puzzle pieces, and her rock collection, and and and...! We're making excellent ( Read more... )

Tonight after work (Miette came with me because for some reason the school district decided to take this whole damn week off) we went to the food bank to drop off Miette's donation. The food bank we went to is called Carotas, and it's about 6 blocks from my office. It's also across the street from the homeless shelter. As we were driving there ( ( Read more... )

I apologize for drowning all of your Pinterest feeds - we're planning out Miette's playhouse and I'm going a bit nuts. This is going to be our big spring project. We asked Miette what she wanted and she said, "A refrigerator, a couch, a bunk bed, and a tv." We explained that we were not building her the Petit Trianon, so she scaled it back to ( Read more... )

Science Fair Change of Plans: Oh My God, Now It's Math

h_loves_c Jan 09, 2014 08:36

Last night Miette and I were watching the video for "Let It Go" from Frozen, as we do about 120 times per day. Miette LOVES the line where Elsa says, "My soul is spiraling in frozen fractals all around" - when she sings it, she really stomps on the word "fractal." So I told her what a fractal is, and mentioned IN PASSING that fractals would make a ( Read more... )

My general rule is that you don't get to complain about a hangover since that's entirely your own fault, but Y'ALL.

I went to a SafePlace Christmas party last night and drank, literally, a whole bottle of wine and now I'm at Miette's gymnastics class. Which is held in the basketball gym at the Y. While their is a boys' basketball class going on.

Babies Babies Everywhere, And Nary A One To Snuggle

h_loves_c Oct 22, 2013 17:10

All of y'all who live far away from me and are having babies right now are giving me serious, serious baby cravings. I would love to have regular access to a newborn. Specifically a newborn that I can rock and snuggle and buy tiny ridiculous hats for, and then hand back to Mom and/or Dad at the end of the night. My baby is 4.5 feet tall and ( Read more... )

Swap?

Reading: A Feast For Crows, a/k/a Game of Thrones book #4. This is...weird. Tons of new people introduced, and a fair number of people who get one POV chapter and then die horribly at the end of it. I'm enjoying this one far less than any of the others, but I'm sticking with it. I've heard that the fifth book makes up for the slog of the fourth ( Read more... )
