Eye Pink, Therefore Eye Am

Posted on September 28, 2013 by larva225

I have to concede that I’m a travel Nazi. I’m the one that stresses compulsively about getting everything packed and staying on time. I know I’m probably a real bitch. That being said, I don’t think I’m out of line … Continue reading →

I Feel Kitty, Oh So Kitty

Posted on September 26, 2013 by larva225

We leave for a week at the beach in approximately 45 hours and 30 minutes.  Less, if I can prod the family into moving a bit faster.  You have no idea how excited I am.  Yes, I was on maternity … Continue reading →

Stella has now been going to her new school for nearly a month.  We’ve been so anxious after our experience at the Stepford Academy, but so far so good.  In other words, I have not been summoned to The Office.  … Continue reading →

No Rain, No Gain

Posted on September 23, 2013 by larva225

You know it’s been a good birthday party when a kid is simply too tired to open their presents.  That’s where we were/are after Stella’s 3rd birthday party yesterday.  Logistically, it was crazy.  It went from being held at a … Continue reading →

Whistle While You Twerk

Posted on September 19, 2013 by larva225

So I’m 40 today.  I’d like to give a shout out to my children for making me feel special immediately;  Stella woke me up at 4:20 so that I could maximize the day and Felix gave me an even gnarlier … Continue reading →

Here’s Looking At New, Kid

Posted on September 17, 2013 by larva225

It’s time to start finding more balance.  For the last 3 + years, I’ve eaten, breathed, and slept (or not) my babies.  I’ve coasted at work.  I’ve stopped paying attention to things that I previously used to enjoy or have … Continue reading →

I Have to Sand It To You

Posted on September 12, 2013 by larva225

Yesterday was a better day.  Stella did well at school, even serving as the “class leader” and cleaned up after herself.  She was cheerful when Felix and I picked her up and managed to steal about 2.25 lbs of sand … Continue reading →

Snot ‘Til You Drop

Posted on September 11, 2013 by larva225

It’s 5:20 AM as I write this.  I’m tired.  I know I’ve been saying that for 3 years but it’s always the case.  This is one of those moments where you just don’t know how/if you can keep your merde … Continue reading →
