Sean is really driving me crazy lately. I think it's a combination of his age and my exhaustion. He repeats everything over and over and has this annoying fake laugh that goes on for days. It's really annoying. But I do hear his friends doing it as well so I'm sure it's just the age ( Read more... )

People, I am SO STRESSED. Looking for an apartment in one city, looking for a job in another. Not knowing if I'll be moving or not. Not knowing if I'll have a job or not. Feeling so completely overwhelmed by this all. Ugh. Ugh. and Ugh.

I suffer from "skadeglädje". Do we even have a word for that in English? The words the dictionary gives don't seem quite right: malice, gloat, spitefulness.

I turned forty on Easter. There was no big party or anything, but I did get a suprise visit and nice gift from our previous neighbors. Sean did the whole Easter trick-or-treating thing. Sometimes it's beneficial living in an elderly neighborhood. Those old folks really know how to give out the candy! I think they all gave him at least three ( Read more... )

Sean is a potty-trained professional! No accidents and he even stops playing to tell me he needs to go. Awesome!

It's Father's Day! That' mean's more DADDY pictures:

We had a little family party for Sean on Wednesday. Robert's parents and our old neighbors were here. I made a big flag banner thing to hang across the living room and then hung up balloons all over. Sean was so excited. All day he kept saying, "Sean birthday!" with a big smile and sparkly eyes. He's not a big cake eater generally so I tried to ( Read more... )

Uhh....a mink just walked through my front yard. That's a first!
