I am tired of reading bad news. If any of you read cnn.com today then you read about some horrible things happening to innocent people. It seems like the only good news I read today was about the toddler who had two strangers catch her as she fell 40 feet from a window. Thank the…

For the record…
I am NOT ready for Yago to give up his nap. We have had 4 consecutive no-nap days. Sad, very sad. I’m not giving up hope yet.
Giving up the bottle
I am ready to give up on the bottle. I may just face the fact that no kid of mine will take it. I am having flashbacks to Yago. It all seemed too simple. Pump, store, feed. Yago stopped taking the bottle at 9 weeks. At 6 months he learned to drink from a straw. …
Another year younger.
I’m another year younger (I started counting down years ago) and hopefully another year wiser, although considering I was pregnant for 9 months of the last year I don’t feel wiser. I still have some “duh” moments, but I think I’m on the way back to normal, whatever that is. I only have one more…
Out of control
Ok. I’ll admit it. We don’t have a library card. I know, that’s awful, especially since we live so close to one. Please remember that Yago’s just now the right age to go and I also have an infant which makes chasing the toddler a little more difficult. Also, I’ve been working full-time except during…
The anxiety all over again.

Overheard at the office…
“…oh shoot, they’ve apparently thwarted a possible assassination attempt on Obama…” tuned out because didn’t want to hear any more until this…”why would the neo-Nazis have wanted him dead, Obama’s a Nazi himself…” Oh dear. To think people actually believe things like this. Also overheard at the office: “Valid prediction from reputible source: within one…
You are all soooo lucky…
That I didn’t pull out my camera today. The phone call that everybody hates to get: “Can you come home? All of your toilets are backing up water and dirty stuff is coming out of the toilet…” Are you kidding me? I have a houseguest coming Thursday, a birthday party for Yago on Sunday, and…
Never tell a pregnant woman…
That the baby furniture she ordered in JULY is out of stock and won’t be available until possibly 12/22 (66 days). Especially when her baby is due in 5 weeks… The email I received: Hello Shabnam, I am writing with regards to the following items in your recent order at All Modern Baby: …Unfortunately we…
Not the hockey mom she thought she was…?
I saw this and couldn’t resist… Palin and the Flyers
