Watching my daughter all dressed up in her little pink ballet outfit and trying to do plies and point her toes with six other little adorable girls is definitely one of the the highlights of having a girl so far. Ranks right up there with the first time [...]

Don’t hate me because my kids sleep late
Posted in Mommahood, tagged kids, Parenting on May 6, 2009 | 2 Comments »
It’s almost 10 a.m., and both my kids are still sleeping. Now don’t go getting your panties all in a bunch yet. This is not normal. Kaiden and Kaya are usually both awake by 8 a.m., although on occasion I do have to wake Kaiden up on school days. But last night was a rough [...]
Word of the Day

Dirigible: Able to be steered. Puerile: Youthful; juvenile. 2. childishly foolish; immature; silly What do you get when you combine these two words? You definitely do not get the word ‘toddler.’ Unless, of course, you throw M&Ms into the mix. Prosaic: commonplace or dull; unimaginative I know I should probably know this one, and I [...]
Avalanche

“Total Loss” When we bought our house back in 2004, it was one of the cheapest ones left in the valley we live in. One reason: it’s in an avalanche path. I guess it was only a matter of time before we actually got hit. Until this past Christmas Day, we’d been lucky. We [...]
Train of Thought

Wow! Just finished “The Story of Edgar Sawtelle,” but my eyes are still not dry yet. That was an unexpected tear-jerker. Cried like a baby for a full five minutes after I put the book down. SPOILER ALERT: do no read any further if you intend to read this book (which I do recommend, just [...]

Convolve: “To roll or wind together; coil; twist” Saw this word in an article about a surfer in Outside Magazine. Didn’t know what it meant, and it’s been bugging me ever since. As you can see, it does not mean to “evolve at the same time,” a logical guess. Also marks the departure from my [...]
Coloring Mermaids

I colored today. You know, as in a coloring book, with crayons. I was at a school fundraiser/fair with my kids, and they were coloring, and I was just sitting there watching them, twiddling my thumbs, and then I thought – “Why the heck not?” Sometimes we think that as adults certain activities are reserved [...]

Mittelshmerz: ovulation pains This word isn’t even in the dictionary! Cant’ believe I stumped Webster’s. Do I win something for that? I seem to be continuing my fascination with German words. And this is one word that sounds exactly like what it describes. Used in a sentence: “Dam Mittelshmerz! Those cramps just won’t stop!” I [...]
Christmas Comes Early for Democrats

When Democrats woke up this morning, they had no idea about the double dose of good news they would be getting later today (or maybe they did, and it’s just isolated Dems like me who weren’t in on the memo) – Justice David Souter announced his resignation and Senator Arlen Spector declared he was leaving [...]

So, I am constantly amazed at how many words there are in the English language that I don’t know. So I have decided to start looking them up. Here are a few I just learned (don’t make fun of me if you already knew them). Solipsistic: can’t get enough of this one, just love the [...]
