It’s too early for me to be up on a Saturday but I haven’t got to sleep in like I like to (which means till 11:00ish) in over a year. I guess those days are over until Sam and any other munchkins are much much older. Sam has been sleeping through the night the past few nights and getting up around 5:30 to eat. It would … Continue reading its too early
Today was kind of a dud. There was only one other person at work besides me so it was nice and peaceful in ye olde office quarters. I got a few things done and managed to make a trip to Target without getting trampled on or shot. Seriously, what is the deal with crazy people that are so desperate to save a few bucks on … Continue reading stupid world and tomorrow’s plans
I hope everyone had a lovely Thanksgiving and from the blogs and Tweets I’ve read, most of you did. Thanksgiving in the Finn household was no exception. We had a small gathering of family over. My father-in-law, brother-in-law, BIL’s girlfriend who is part of the family, and The Accountant’s grandparents. It was a food and football filled day. Yay Titans! I must brag on The … Continue reading one turkey and various side-dishes later….
Sam had her 4 month check up and shots today. The shots were ooky. She cried, I cried. It was a sob fest in exam room # 2. She got over the tears quickly though and has been a real trooper tonight. She’s sporting some very cool Tazmanian Devil bandaids right now. I gave her some infant Tylenol and she’s finally asleep. (Wow, that sounds like I drugged my … Continue reading Sam 4 month stats
Whip out the Trapper Keepers and the Dukes of Hazard lunchboxes, it’s back to school time! At least it is for 30-something graduate students who have no business setting foot back into a college classroom. Yet even as I type that I know its ridiculous to think that just because I’m not the “traditional” student that I should feel like I have no place back … Continue reading back to skoo
You must get your hineys over to Scout’s place and check out the pictures of her new baby girl! Go. Right now. Continue reading go here, immediately
Do you know why time is screwed up? Me neither, but the reason that I know it is – because the days are way too long and drag on forever but the evenings are entirely too short and fly by with a whoosh and a ‘see ya later’. The batteries are dead in the universal clock and or the spacetime continuum is broken. Who do I need to speak to … Continue reading time is screwed up
A Twitter conversation made me think of this. I check PostSecret every Sunday for the new confessions. There’s just something very appealing to me about letting the world see whatever you deem to be your secrets, except you’re anonymous. Weird isn’t it? Its like you’re being risque, yet safe at the same time. One day I’m going to send in my own postcard, or several. … Continue reading confessions
Trying to decide how/if/where to post about the weight issues but for now go here for my latest post about da baby weight. Continue reading weight issues
I’m bummed tonight. By the time I got home from work, Sam was already in her crib asleep. I kept thinking she’d wake up any minute but it’s almost 9:30 pm and she’s still sleeping. It’s all I can do not to go in her room and “accidentally” cough really loud so she’ll wake up and I can be with her. I’m really trying not … Continue reading grumble grumble
My head hurts partly because I’m tired and a bit stressed and partly because I have a crazy brain that is full of swirling thoughts and various rambles. I have a post in progress about my return to school next semester but it’s still stewing and not ready for public consumption just yet. It will come later. I also have something to say about dead people, job applications, baby … Continue reading my head hurts
I hope you were able to take a moment at least to thank a veteran or remember those who served our country and have now passed on. Both of my grandfather’s were/are vets, as well as many friends and other family members. I thought of all of them today as I was driving home. It occurred to me during one of my mind ramblings that it … Continue reading taking a moment
Football football football. TITANS TITANS TITANS!!! 9-0, 9-0, 9-0!!!! That is all. Continue reading ahem, 9-0
Today has been busy. Up early for me on a Saturday to clean the house and get Sami ready for her big photoshoot. Heh. We had a photographer come take some shots of baby girl. Sam did great for about an hour and then she had something of a meltdown and just wanted to go to sleep. Hopefully the photographer got some good shots even … Continue reading today
I’ve decided that becoming a mommy means that you are automatically crazy. Especially if you are also a mommy who blogs. At 3:00 am this morning I’m changing Sam’s diaper before I give her a bottle. She seems to do new things every day and this day’s first was….wait for it….to pull her sock off all by herself! Yes, you read that correctly. Aren’t you glad … Continue reading certifiable
This morning got off to a rough start. I overslept which never helps things when you need to be somewhere. Sam needed to eat at 7:30 so I fed her then put her in her usual morning spot in the middle of our bed so she could watch various things – the dog, the cat, me getting ready for work, the tv, the ceiling fan, whatever … Continue reading where i bemoan not being a SAHM
I was trying to think of something eloquent and meaningful to say about the historic events of last night. But as usual, when I try too hard my brain decides to pick that very moment to go on vacation to Tahiti so I’m left completely blank. Then I read Danielle’s post and thought, “that’s what I mean to say”. So instead of me saying it … Continue reading what she said
Wow, my focus is even more off than usual today. It’s all the election hoopla. Although I’m ready for this to be over with so we can move on, I’m very excited about it all. I keep checking the news sites and wanting to get home to watch all the coverage. Twitter has been invaluable in keeping me up to date on the latest happenings … Continue reading we’re almost there folks
I am going to have to keep ear plugs in my glovebox for anyone who happens to be riding with me when I go pick up Sam from day care. We’ve been lucky that she doesn’t seem to mind her car seat too much but she does go through spells when she cries for a while until we get going down the road. Then she’ll cry … Continue reading plug your ears
Another weekend bites the dust. Boo. I am soooooo sick of all the election mumbo-jumbo. Seriously, can we just get this over with please? I’m glad I early voted so I don’t have to worry about getting to the polls on time or fighting the crowds. For once I did something ahead of time and didn’t procrastinate. Go me. Saturday Night Live = hilarity. I … Continue reading tidbits
I’ve made a few changes to my little place on the internet. The Blogroll is now it’s own page. It was taking up too much of the sidebar so I’ve cleaned it up a bit. Please let me know if you want to be added to the blogroll or if you want me to remove you. I’m also playing around with a few new pages … Continue reading blog changes
Doesn’t Cooper look like he’s having fun? Maybe he should be a canine male model because I think he’s got that over-the-shoulder pose down pat. At Beaman Park… Continue reading happy puppy
Is it a beautiful day outside or what? I love fall. We had a very quiet Halloween. No trick-or-treaters. Probably because all the lights were off and our house didn’t look very welcoming. Someone wasn’t in the spirit of the evening. I am excited for next year though when Sam will be older and can get into the spookiness a bit. Today will be quiet … Continue reading quiet saturday
