So, we dropped K off for the trip. Unlike the vacation to NC earlier this year, we couldn’t really leave him home. Drummer has a job and lives in NoVA now, bit of a drive … My folks are going with us, they certainly can’t check in on him. My friends in the area all [...]
So, Saturday evening before we leave Monday morning, my parents called me to let me know that apparently our international return flight had moved. “I’ve got good news and bad news.” “What’s the bad news?” “You’ve got a 15 hour layover in JFK on the way home.” “WTF? What the heck is the GOOD news???” [...]
So, we actually finished packing 90% like 4 days before we left … It was eerie! We spent the next few days running around and getting this that and the other to fill out the carryons and the few things we needed still for the suitcase. We have two big checked bags, one of which [...]
So, I have a slightly overactive mind. In that I can’t focus on a single thing at a time, I almost HAVE to do multiple things at once. (For instance, right now I’m writing up this post, thinking about what we need to pack, bring back, etc, and at underlaying levels I’m still thinking about [...]
So, DK’s still having sleep issues. Basically I have to hold him down screaming and kicking until he sighs and gives up struggling for long enough to say “ooh, tired, zonk” Unfortunately, he kicks and flails a lot, and if I hold him tight enough to keep him from escaping, I’m not sure he CAN [...]
So, this evening after work, I was going to Chiro. But I figured the CostCo is on the way (relatively speaking) and it’s like 20c cheaper a gallon. And I need gas. So first I get there, and it turns out it’s 40c cheaper (273 vs 315). Then there’s this huge freakin’ line, so I’m [...]
So, it’s been pointed out (repeatedly, by MANY people) that the title of this blog is misleading. poorly worded. a bald faced LIE, even. Because let’s face it. It’s not daily. Even if I manage to do daily/weekdays for a bit, it never lasts more than a week or two. And then there’s the problem [...]
Today was DK’s 18mo appt (Wow, kiir posted the stats while I took K and DK for a walk !) We got there right at his appointment time b/c I forgot how long it’d take to get there (oops). But that’s OK. It’s a doctor’s office. They are NEVER on time, eh? So we checked [...]
So a while ago I was out with K for his evening sabbatical. I usually just take him up our side of the street in the evening for a short walk instead of crossing to the wooded path. I happened to glance across the street and a deer standing at the edge of the wood. [...]
So, DK’s had an amber necklace since he was a few weeks old. We had to replace it this spring (?) when the original snapped from his playing with it, but not unexpected One of kiir’s parenting forums got a group-discount from the place we bought his current one, so she decided to pick up [...]
