This morning when Monkey woke up I told him that the man he picked to be president won.
Realize my 4 year-old picked you on a whim yesterday based on your appearance. So congrats on that.
I chose to break my two-presidential-election streak of third party voting (Nader, who has clearly gone cuckoo) to vote for you [...]

An Open Letter to President-Elect Barack Obama

I promise I didn’t drop off the face of the Earth…
We’ve been busy ya’ll. A wrapup:
We are wrapping up the Monkey’s swimming lessons. He has really enjoyed them this summer, and he is very confident in the pool now. We will definitely repeat these next summer, and likely for the Bear too.
The Bear turned two, and BHE turned 31, on August 1.
Monkey started school (Tuesday/Thursday [...]

Fun with Search Terms
Just for kicks, these are how people have run across this lil’ old blog over the last two days:
Speed Racer Cake (all variants of this term) – 49. My pic of the cake on flickr has over 1,200 views. MADNESS!
“green cleaning” “kitchen floor” – vinegar, my friends. So cheap, so non-toxic.

Dude, where’s my bod?
In which I join the legion of women in complaining about my weight…OK, well, maybe not, because I don’t want to complain – complaining is not constructive really, is it? So call this a history – a typical mom’s weight struggles.
When I was growing up, I was one of those “off the growth chart” kind [...]

If they jumped off a bridge, would you do it too?
I guess the answer is yes, ’cause plastic please and Crabby Mama did it first.
I resisted the urge to include explanatory notes. And if anyone else does this, let me know.
1. Touched an iceberg
2. Slept under the stars
3. Been a part of a hockey fight
4. Changed a baby’s diaper
5. Watched a meteor shower
6. Given more [...]

Accentuate the Positive
I say the above not so much as advice to you, my dear reader (how many of you are there, anyway? Two?), but as advice to myself.
Today was one of those days with the boys. You say up, they say down. You say “Please don’t dump out all the crayons”, they look you straight in [...]

What if…
Angelle had an interesting post up about two weeks ago that I’ve just now had the time to really attend to. Go ahead, read it and come back here.
It’s funny thinking about what ifs, isn’t it? I think anyone that’s had any major life change – and that’s pretty much any adult – can play [...]

Back from Bloggy Vacay…
Lack of blogging due to a lot of work plus I was in Memphis for lil’ bro’s law school graduation – many pics taken at botanical gardens, of which I will share a few when I get a chance to upload them. I will say – I had not had an “adult break” in quite [...]

Piano for the Kiddos
I’ve been meaning to look up EASY sheet music for the Monkey as we’d like both boys to at least be exposed to playing musical instruments, and as I play piano and BHE plays guitar (and we have a drumset that neither of us can really play) – we should be able to at least [...]

I want my mommy.
One of the things that can be frustrating about parenting, particularly about being the stay-at-home parent, is that when you get sick, there ain’t no such thing as a sick day.
The boys have a bit of the crud too, but were acting pretty normal – the way Bear was running around like a wild man, [...]
