mommies don’t have penises

bedtime for the boys started out pretty normal tonight. diapers changed, pajamas on, and teeth brushed, we went into Logan’s room to put him to bed first. as usual, Zander helped us sing “rock-a-bye Logan”, and then yelled “bounce!” as daddy plopped Logan in the crib. i said “sweet dreams, sleep well, see you in [...]

Haiku Friday: pms payback

no bloating or discomfort

with these head-splitting migraines

is was so lucky, and i took it for granted. and oh, am i paying for it now!
i went through high school never having [...]

Haiku Friday: the magic of corn

the magic of corn
such a strange phenomenon
such a small veggie
no matter how much
we chew chew chew when we eat
it reappears whole
sorry if that’s tmi, but seriously…whaddup with that???
the other day we had corn with our dinner. the next morning i was changing Logan’s diaper on the floor in the living room. as is more often [...]

Pink Eye waiting to happen

i swear, Logan is a wobbly-walking accident waiting to happen. sometimes hubby and i wonder how he survives the day. i know toddlers tend to have no fear…but he not only has not one teensy-tiny bit of fear, he laughs at fear…and common sense. he goes head first into everything…even if it’s a pile of [...]

a break in the silence

i’ve been sitting here trying to catch up on my blog reading, when really i should be in bed getting some much needed shut-eye. priorities, people!
the thing is, it’s easier to read my favourite blogs when all is quiet and there are no little guys interrupting me ever 2 seconds…”mommy? mom? mum? mummy? MOMMY?”…ya, you [...]

what dat noise?

Zander’s latest ism is to ask “what dat noise?” everytime he hears the tiniest of sounds….when the dishwasher comes on….when Logan coughs….when the floor creaks….when the tires of our car drive through water….when my joints make those nasty cracking sounds….everytime there is a sound of any kind, he asks this same question. over and over. [...]

Haiku Friday: the curse of the right-hand thumb

i’ve been gone for days
not even one word written
no posts to be seen
reared its ugly head
the curse of the right-hand thumb
pain and discomfort
ya….remember when i was painting my backsplash tiles and kitchen cupboards and my right-hand thumb got poisoned by B.I.N. primer? well, the curse is back. i tore the ligaments in my [...]

they see progress

we went to the Children’s Hospital to meet with Zander’s Occupational Therapist and Psychologist…and it went pretty well.
we brought both boys, since we couldn’t get anyone to watch Logan. we were told to bring their lunches, so that Zander could be observed eating. we made sure to bring his new favourite veggie, corn, to see [...]

ea’ peet-za!

since we wanted a quick dinner tonight…a dinner that Zander might actually eat some of (since he has to fast for his upper GI in the morning…dinner is his last meal until lunch tomorrow), we decided to pile the monkeys into the car and go get pizza.
to give you a peek into the World of [...]
