Night of the Vomit

Posted on June 28, 2013 by larva225

I’ve tried to share my morning experiences with you.  Here’s a sample of a typical evening.  Bear in mind, as this scenario plays out, I’ve been up since 5:00 AM, gone to work, and picked up my children.  By most … Continue reading →

It’s My Potty and I’ll Cry If I Want To

Posted on June 20, 2013 by larva225

I A.M. What I A.M.

Posted on June 17, 2013 by larva225

I did one of these a while back (https://larva225.wordpress.com/2013/01/03/mourning-glory/).  I figured I’d do a second version now that I have a second child.  You can think of it as a vehicle to share my pain.  Or perhaps it could serve … Continue reading →

Dad About You, Baby

Posted on June 15, 2013 by larva225

I think dads kind of get shafted a bit with respect to Father’s Day.  For Mother’s Day, you see flowers, hearts, brunches everywhere.  It’s Valentine’s Day without the red and lingerie.  What is the symbol of Father’s Day?  A tie, … Continue reading →

I was treated to an unusually rough morning today.  In addition to being awakened by Felix every 2 hours on the nose along with Stella being unusually restless last night (congested, coughing, and talking in her sleep), I was greeted … Continue reading →

Mulch Ado About Nothing

Posted on June 12, 2013 by larva225

Stella made it through an entire day at school yesterday.  There was nary a phone call or email.  Around 12:15 I started getting really anxious, as that’s when the dreaded nap time is set to begin.  By 1:45, I was … Continue reading →

A Three Hour Tour

Posted on June 10, 2013 by larva225
