So, today, after much deliberation, financial examination, self introspection and family prioritizing, I informed my school that I will not be coming back in the fall. That’s right, I’ll be a Stay-At-Home Mom. I need to go shopping for some tapered (and elastic) jeans and some white sneakers. We also should have purchased a minivan […]
Yard Work
So, in the last few weeks, we’ve: 1. mulched the entire front yard natural areas (2 truckloads)2. planted 54 petunias along the front walkway3. planted new grass in the giant circle of dirt that used to be pompous grass* And then, finally, for the first time this season, I mowed. Mowing used to be my […]
Weekend Update
In the last couple of days, I haven’t really had any blog-worthy events take place. But, the sum of all the events certainly is blog-worthy. Let’s see….The monster has been sleeping a zillion times better. He eats, plays, gets fussy and lays down (on his belly, oh no!) and goes to sleep. Every now and […]

Family Visit Update
My family has been here for two days now. On Thursday, my mom stayed with Isaac while I went to school. He was very good for her, so she doesn’t believe that he’s ever fussy. He’s got her snowed. When I got home from school, we went to the park. We took the ATS (All […]
