Don’t Forget Me When I’m Gone

Ok, so tomorrow I have to wake up at some ridiculous hour and take two children from here (California) to there (Vermont).  BY MYSELF.  Please say a prayer, or ten thousand, for us, and let’s all hope that United Airlines takes pity on our souls. And then we’ll be there for three and a half [...]

Ten Things

1.  We had a lovely party this weekend for Katie Dubs, and she’s repaying me for the pink and white quadruple layered cake and the handmade pink circle garlands and the special pink polka dotted straws by refusing to sleep, at all, in any way shape or form.  Also this morning when Mr. E went [...]

I’ll Paint Your Floor

Hrm.  I thought choosing a paint color for the floor of the hallway closet would be a simple little fun project, and instead I’ve been staring at paint swatches and photographing paint swatches and rifling through paint swatches over and over again for days.  blargh. So the front door is bright red, and the walls [...]

Quitting Time

Ok, so I am just putting this out there and assuming that no one is going to be a douche bag.  Please do not make me wrong. Please! So. I need advice, because as it turns out, I am SO SO SO SO done with nursing.  Katie Dubs is a year old (almost!) but it [...]

Things I Am Trying to Teach My Four Year Old Son

Not to yell “Mom, I can see your cha-cha!” in the American Eagle dressing room. That when he grows up it’s his job to keep gas in his wife’s car. But that if he wants to marry/sleep with/have kids with a dude, that’s totally cool with me as well.  In which case it’s his job [...]

Stuff and Nonsense

One of the items on my to do list for this week is to go through every single space I can think of in the house and get rid of stuff. It amazes me that I can be as dedicated to getting rid of stuff as I am and still have a house full of [...]

To Do

Mr. E is going out of town for a week.  Because I don’t really cook dinner while he’s gone and I put the kids to bed at 4 PM (not really, but pretty much) I actually tend to get a lot of done while he’s off doing whatever he does out there in the world. [...]

Floored

So we started working on The Great Floor Disaster yesterday.  Most of it Mr. E will finish while I am in a gin coma in Vermont with our children, but we wanted to rough sand a few of the rooms to see if we were going to try to save these floors because if we’re [...]

My Husband Rulz

I just came home from Target and this was sitting on my front porch. I am SO excited! He told me he bought me a present, but he had me convinced it was some kind of weird candy.  Strangely, his new surprise Father’s Day IPOD Touch showed up yesterday, and I had him convinced it was [...]
