The other night I was chatting on Twitter with a couple friends & we were discussing having kids. It started out being a silly discussion on how I should just let my kids run free range (no diapers) so that I could spend my money on ice cream instead. One of the ladies said, “I […]
Magnus has been battling bug after bug this is month. We have been out and about a lot since the July 4th weekend & he has paid the price.
First we got the pleasure of rotavirus. Nothing like a week for the nastiest, poopiest diapers to make me wish I could let Magnus run bare […]
As I mentioned in my last post I’ve taken to running around sans pants. Combine our current heat wave (August, I don’t care that you’re the home of “the dog days of summer”, you can just behave yourself) with an increasingly prominent baby bump and pants are even less appealing than normal. The heat index […]
I’m tired. Not just physically but emotionally & mentally. My week is always a challenge when Abe is out of town. This week is no different. I have spent a couple days with my brother and his family which helps me feel less alone. Magnus is fun, makes me smile and gives me great snuggles. […]
Dear Melville,
My apologies that it has taken me so long to respond to your most recent letter. I must admit that the words have seem jumbled as of late & haven’t wanted to appear ordered on the page. (Fair warning that this letter may not be as coherent as it should be.)

I’ve been trying to avoid today. See today is my birthday & I’ve never been a big fan of it. I realize that sounds crazy but seriously…have you met me? (Okay, you probably haven’t since this is the interwebz but the point remains the same.) In thinking about today I’ve had some odd realizations regarding […]
Learned some things this morning when I got up today. It was all a bit harsh for the unfiltered light of a Tuesday morning. As I stumbled, bleary-eyed from a night of being up with the Boy, through the bathroom I caught a glimpse of myself in the Mirror of Doom. I have to say […]
Lying in bed this morning I was chatting with Abe & we were talking about Baby. Not a big surprise since right now that’s the biggest thing going on with us. Baby Fred was busy showing off & making known how strong s/he is. Of course I got to thinking about what it’ll be like […]
