Today, I cleaned up dog puke and kid puke. I’m really hoping the cats will leave me a hairball because that would complete the circle of irony and I could go to sleep a happy woman.

To the mom in the Albertson’s parking lot: You saw the moment my son grabbed my starbucks cup and spilled it all over himself and the groceries and you didn’t turn away. You saw me stand there with a look of shock on my face as I tried to figure out my next move. You […]

Me to Dave: “You know what I really feel like right now? Pizza.” Dave: “Really? That sounds good! We should order some!” Me: “But we’ve already eaten dinner.” Dave: “I’ll be up for awhile and I’m super hungry.” Me: “But it’s 10 at night.” Both: “But Pizza is SOOO good.” I feel like we’re in […]

So, as the primary chef in our house, I had a recent epiphany. My approach to cooking prior to Joshua was more like “Giada at Home.” “Ooh, what amazing concoction can I make for dinner tonight?” My approach now is definitely more like “Chopped.” “What’s in the refrigerator? How can I create something semi-yummy in […]

Tonight we read “Everybody Poops” to Joshua for the first time. Besides giggling (the parents) the whole way through it, I thought it a delightfully written and illustrated catharsis of a natural bodily function. Poop will never cease to be funny.

So, I went out this morning to let the dogs out in the backyard. It was early and half dark and I was only partially clothed. You know, it’s my own backyard and we have cement block fence. Then I look up and see a hot air balloon no more than 100 feet above our […]

Me to Dave: “Hey, I can drive back down (from Flag to Phx)- you know I love driving.” Dave to me: “No, no, don’t worry about it, I got it.” Me: “But I really want to drive. It’s so much fun.” Dave: *Silence* Me: *Silence* Me: “You’re scared to death of my driving, right?” Dave: […]

Last night, we went out to dinner. The dinner lasted an hour and fifteen minutes. Neither of us had to get up and juggle the infant. He sat quietly in his high chair. We had adult conversation and witty repartee. We may have even flirted. “How could this be,” you ask? Do I have an […]
