Because I am an Awesome Mother

Hey!  Did you know that there is a really easy way to tell if your child is thirsty and needs a cup of milk?
Just wait until he DRINKS OUT OF THE DOG BOWL, smacks his lips in a satisfied fashion, and then give yourself a nice hit in the forehead.
Because, OH YEAH, you forgot to HYDRATE [...]

Tis the Season

Yesterday, my mom and I went shopping for this year’s Holiday Clothes for Aiden.  In the past, I’ve bitched about the utter lack of cute dressy boy’s clothing, as compared to the racks upon racks of stuff for the little girls.  This year was no different (each store had usually just one rack for the [...]

Like always, I am late to the game.  Examples?  I just recently purchased my very first pair of ballet flats (are these still in style?  I’ve no idea).  I had no idea what the hell pilates really was until I took a class last week (for those interested in knowing, pilates is a very fancy [...]

This month has been one chock full of new words.  I have actually stopped counting all the new words you have added to your [...]

I voted and all I got was this stupid sticker

Yep, I voted.
Stood in line with a toddler for the longest and most frustrating hour of my life.  Bribed him to cooperate with me via pretzels, toys, and candy.  Bribes barely worked.  Finally made it into the voting booth, fought child who got pissed when I wouldn’t let him make his own touch-screen selections.
Got my [...]

Halloween 2008

Last year, he looked adorable as a lobster, but let’s face it:  Aiden was just a little blob of a baby who couldn’t really partake in the fun of trick or treating.
This year?  A whole different story.  We had an absolute blast!  Aiden wore his duck costume without trying to rip it off, he totally [...]

Well.

I had a nice glass of wine on my nightstand, ready for my enjoyment after Aiden went to bed.  And of course, OF COURSE the little rugrat had to run into our bedroom after bathtime and knock the damn wineglass over. 
That kid.  I swear, he’s like a frisky, mischievous and clumsy  Golden Retriever puppy, give or [...]
