Looking At the World Through Gross-Colored Glasses

Posted on December 31, 2013 by larva225

Felix is fast.  That kid will spy something he wants and grab for it – no hesitation – and he’s scarily accurate for a 10 month old baby.  Generally they just kind of blob around like a little drunk person.  … Continue reading →

Nurse of the Mummy

Posted on December 30, 2013 by larva225

I haven’t talked about boobs in a long time so I figured I was due.  Yes, I’m still nursing Felix.  I’m not tired of nursing my son, but I am getting really really tired of the pumping. For a while … Continue reading →

Felix Navidad!

Posted on December 26, 2013 by larva225

(Y’all had to know I’d use that title.  I mean, I’ve been sitting on it for 10 months.  And yes, I do know that it should be “feliz.”) So this was my first real year to be Santa. Sure, we … Continue reading →

Bust a Movie

Posted on December 23, 2013 by larva225

It’s holiday crunch time.  Yes, yes, all my gifts are purchased and wrapped.  Cards have been sent.  The menu has been planned and should be reasonably easy to execute.  I’m still fighting the holiday blues a bit.  There is family … Continue reading →

All Is Calm, All Is Blight?

Posted on December 19, 2013 by larva225

I think it must be impossible to pass through the holiday season emotionally unscathed.  If you know someone who stays 100% happy, excited, and serene, let me know who that is.  I demand an in-depth interview and want to know … Continue reading →

Retract and Field

Posted on December 17, 2013 by larva225

Dear Santa, I think I was a bit greedy yesterday.  I’d like to retract that list and ask for some more reasonable items – items that I have a chance in hell of getting.  And since they’re not just for … Continue reading →

Maid of the List

Posted on December 16, 2013 by larva225

I’ve seen more vitriol about Santa than ever this year (i.e. To Santa Or Not To Santa), or maybe it’s just more on my radar now that I have kiddos.  We do Santa at my house and we do it … Continue reading →

Every Tom, Dickens, and Harry

Posted on December 12, 2013 by larva225

We’re still working our way through the Xmas season here.  I must admit, I’m fighting some holiday blues.  I couldn’t tell you why.  It just seems things aren’t/haven’t been working out the way they’re “supposed” to.  I know, I know. … Continue reading →

Miss-mas Vacation

Posted on December 9, 2013 by larva225

As with most of the country, the weather has taken a most foul turn the past few days.  This whole entire past weekend was a major bust.  Originally, we had a birthday party at the zoo Saturday, I had a … Continue reading →

We Wish You a Merry Pissmas

Posted on December 6, 2013 by larva225

Every year.  Every year, damn it. My stupid cats ruined my beautiful Xmas long ago.  Once upon a time, I had one sweet cat.  She left my shit alone.  She might bat one ornament off of my traditionally huge tree, … Continue reading →
