It was getting dark by the time I got back to my car. I called my husband. “Ummm, yeah. So I don’t think Renee and I should do things together anymore,” I told him. “Why?” he asked. “What did you girls do now?” Siig asked that question because he knows that Renee and I tend to [...]

Ant this grand?
Posted in Mommahood, Peaks & Valleys, tagged carpenter ants, first day of kindergarten, kids sleeping late on August 25, 2009 | 3 Comments »
Here at the Siig household, with less than one day left of summer (well, at least for one child), I am dealing with two new realities: an onslaught of carpenter ants and the fact that I am going to have to get my act together by 9 am every morning, five days a week, for [...]
Can I tell you something?
Posted in Peaks & Valleys, tagged chores, Facebook, making the bed, messy car on August 22, 2009 | 6 Comments »
Before we proceed in this relationship any further, I think there’s something you should know about me. I don’t make my bed. Ever. And I only clean the inside of my car about twice a year. There, I’ve said it. I’ve laid all the cards on the table. Wait! Where are you going? Don’t click [...]
That’s OK, Supernanny, we didn’t need you anyways
Posted in Mommahood on August 19, 2009 | 3 Comments »
What a difference a year can make. Last year this time, right after Kaiden turned 4, I was getting ready to ship him off to China to an orphanage for terrible toddlers. Kaiden had the worst tantrums of any kid we knew, as in hour-long, kicking-and-screaming-on-the-floor fits. I have racked up enough stories to tell about the embarrassing [...]
Treasure Hunt
Posted in Mommahood, tagged kids pick up trash, pirates, treasure hunt on August 14, 2009 | 3 Comments »
If, as the saying goes, “one man’s trash is another man’s treasure,” than Kaiden is filthy rich. This entire summer, Kaiden the Pirate has been on a permanent treasure hunt, picking up anything that catches his eye, from money to bottle caps to golf tees. Without him knowing it, he has been performing a community service [...]
Lost: Luggage & Memory, last seen in Aspen
Posted in Peaks & Valleys, Sleep, what's that? on August 10, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
Our stuff did not want to come home with us. We were halfway to the Aspen airport (which is only 15 minutes out of town, so don’t feel too sorry for us) when Siig realized he had left his and Kaiden’s swim shorts drying by the pool. Siig only remembered this because I asked him if he had [...]
Matchmaker, matchmaker, make me a match.com
Posted in Peaks & Valleys, tagged dating, match.com., on-line dating on August 8, 2009 | 6 Comments »
I am totally psyched to be dating on Match.com again. Well, not exactly. I am virtually dating through my 34-year old sister, Julie, who after many years of prodding and cajoling have finally, FINALLY, convinced to give on-line dating a try. (Julie, if your reading, I’m super proud of you.) Of course, it helped that I [...]
Breaking up is hard to Dew (or the final love letter)
Posted in Peaks & Valleys, tagged Ambien, breaking up, cache cache, St. Germain liquor on August 7, 2009 | 3 Comments »
Mon Cher St. Germain: The past two nights have been amazing, but I am afraid it’s time for me to let you go. Don’t get me wrong. I have highly enjoyed the sweet taste of melon and green apples that rests on my lips after we kiss. And you are always so fun to be [...]
Did the Dew
Posted in Peaks & Valleys, tagged aspen, elderberry, St. Germain liquor, St. Germain music, Wild Fig on August 6, 2009 | 2 Comments »
It was the drink’s name that got us into trouble. “Dew Drop.” Vodka, splash of sparkling wine, fresh grape juice, and something called St. Germain. The latter ingredient was what really got our attention. What was it? We were intrigued. While our table pondered the possibilities, the restaurant owner overheard us and came running over, [...]
Co-Shitters
Posted in Mommahood, tagged crap, poo, shit on August 3, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
My kids have become synchronized shitters. Now, stop picturing them with those funny little swim caps on and tons of make-up and a huge smile on their faces - this does not occur in the pool, thank god. Rather, just like women who live together tend to get their periods at the same time, Kaiden and [...]
