Flowers

September 29, 2004

Flowers are given to show love, cheer people up or say “sorry I was such a daft prick”. If only these sentiments would last longer than the flower itself (sometimes even less). We could say “you know, I would be so pissed off at you right now, but that flower you gave me [...]

I Think I’m Alone Now…

September 24, 2004

Its amazing how hard it is to get some alone time when you have two kids. The only true alone time I get is when I’m in the shower. Of course, getting a shower these days is a monumental feat (happens as often as Haley’s comet, winning the lottery or me receiving flowers), [...]

I’m Bean

September 19, 2004

My new little man is already three weeks old. His given name is Jamie, and he definitely looks and acts like a Jamie, but he also takes on the look of many other animals. I can’t help myself. He makes funny faces and looks like little baby animals (or funny british men, [...]

This blog is [...]

You are Two!

September 6, 2004

With a nod to one of my favorite blogging moms, dooce, I want to begin writing to the boys as they reach milestones in their lives. Hopefully someday they will read these and then love and adore me and feed me grapes.
Year Two, a Summary:

Coming Up For Air

September 5, 2004

Phew. I finally have few minutes, and a few ounces of energy, to write a little. The last week has been a whirlwind of people and emotions. I’ve been thinking all week about things I want/need to blog about…but either haven’t had a second to spare, or when I did have a [...]
