Posted on April 30, 2013 by larva225

The days of naked continue.  When I arrived yesterday to pick Stella up from her nanny’s, she was wearing nothing but a diaper.  Neither was her BFF, only in her case you can sub big girl panties for diaper.  Oh, … Continue reading →

On Again/Office Again

Posted on April 29, 2013 by larva225

Today has been my reentry day.   The whole thing didn’t play out the way I thought but you would think I’d be used to that by now.   I honestly didn’t think I’d get all emotional and weepy.  I did.  It wasn’t as bad today as yesterday … Continue reading →

Animal Grouse

Posted on April 26, 2013 by larva225

If you were to look upon our bed (ignoring the mismatched boring linens) you would think a teenage girl lives there.  Our bed is now the permanent domain of no fewer than 4 stuffed toys with a new resident being … Continue reading →

Sleuth in Advertising

Posted on April 25, 2013 by larva225

We’ve reached a turning point around here where Stella is falling victim to advertisements.  For the longest time if they were on in front of her, she’d totally ignore them.  The only time she would pay any attention to them … Continue reading →

Strand and Deliver

Posted on April 23, 2013 by larva225

For the record, while this IS a post about hair, it’s not like that previous post I made about the hair on my nether region.  Just letting you know it’s safe to read. So things are hairy around here, pun … Continue reading →

To Have and Withold

Posted on April 22, 2013 by larva225

We’ve entered the Era of No at last.  I’ve heard that all kids do it but I think most of them get into it earlier than Stella.  I thought we might skip it due to the delayed speech and all.  … Continue reading →

A Scald Day In Hell

Posted on April 21, 2013 by larva225

Forgive me.  Oh brother.  I have sinned.  It’s one of lack of attention, but the severity of the misstep on my part doesn’t impact the result. It was Friday.  Stella and I were both showing signs of cabin fever. I … Continue reading →

State of the Union: A Dress

Posted on April 19, 2013 by larva225

Naked time continues to be an issue over here.  It’s a nasty lottery, really.  Most days are fine, in that I don’t have sewage hitting the floor.  But then again, little kids are gross in and of themselves.  Even without … Continue reading →

The Wind In My Sales

Posted on April 18, 2013 by larva225

I woke up Wednesday with a crazy thought in my head:  why not take one more week of maternity leave?  I mean, I can take up to 12.  Sure, I’ve had crazy days with the kids, and I’ve bitched and … Continue reading →
