Even though Stevie is on the mend, and I’m fairly certain the E. coli has run it’s 10-day course, the Department of Health has instructed us to keep him out of school and away from other kids until they can clear him. Two consecutive clean stool samples is the way to do that. We delightfully…
Greetings from my couch! Since I’ve basically been wearing pajamas all week and I have no photos or confessions that don’t involve kid poop, I thought I’d write some thoughts on the upcoming season and my plans for a Fall wardrobe. I use the term “plan” very loosely, as there isn’t one. But let’s talk…
I can’t sleep. It’s mostly dark in our room but a hint of nightlight shines from the bathroom. We don’t usually keep a nightlight on. But during the height of Stevie’s sickness, we were taking him to the bathroom 15+ times throughout the night. He is in our bed and has his back towards me…
I woke up this morning feeling like I got hit by a truck. So I can’t even begin to imagine how Stevie feels. This poor kid. His sickies started on Thursday night with a mild case of the runs. Hey, it happens to the best of us. So I started him on the BRAT diet…
Our trip to Target this week was the first in nearly 5 years where we haven’t bought diapers! I usually try to be a nice blogger who reads and comments on other people’s blogs too, but right now, I have 300+ posts to catch up on. Yikes. My one and only goal this week was to get more sleep. Try…
Making: big plans in my head. Deciding: where to begin with said plans. Cooking: sandwiches? Drinking: so much green tea, I have to pee like allll the time. Listening: to more Podcasts. Wanting: to revamp the ol’ blog. Looking: at a pretty messy house. Playing: Boggle on my phone. Wishing: I slept more. Enjoying: girl time,…
Taking Stevie to my favorite Ventura County Fair is a tradition I hope to keep alive for many years. It’s always about 20 degrees cooler up there by the ocean, so it came at the right time and was a perfect escape from overheated LA. This was our 4th year in a row and we had…
We are more than 1/2 way through the summer season and I kind of can’t believe it. School starts Monday! Wait, whaaaaat?! As far as clothes are concerned, however, this doesn’t mean a whole lot. Plenty of hot days still lie ahead of us here in Southern California. September is usually a scorcher! It might cool off by…
I can’t say this weekend was quite as relaxing as I envisioned it, but it was pretty fun! We were together, but separate, enjoying our own things. Like ships passing in the night. Paul was in Vegas meeting with old friends. I was in North Vegas with my sister. And Stevie spent the weekend with…
When I think of Vegas, the first thing that comes to mind is definitely not my mom style. So when I was packing for my weekend getaway, I started to feel a little like what has happened to me? But guess what all you young, beautiful, blingy bikini wearing girls; I, the 36-year old lady wearing the straw hat by…
