Waiting for a baby to come is a lot like preparing to go on a long trip – you know you are not going to be available for a while so you rush around trying to make sure everything is taken care of. Pay the bills, water the plants, stock the house with food, clean [...]

Shopping for opinions at the grocery store
Posted in Mommahood on July 5, 2010 | 2 Comments »
It’s funny the people who will talk to you when you are pregnant. And the stories they will tell you. It’s like having a huge belly is like having a new puppy – it’s an open invitation for complete strangers to come up to you. The other day at the grocery store check out line, [...]
Want to name my kid? Fork over the dough.
Posted in Mommahood, tagged Johnny Test, Mermaid Tale on May 31, 2010 | 1 Comment »
The saga of Kaya’s imaginary family continues (My daughter from another mother). Her siblings now have names. Big sister Violet, big brother Johnny and dog Dukey. Her occasional baby brother does not have a name, and of course her mom and dad are just ‘my other mommy and daddy.’ Then it hit me how she [...]
Would you eat this if you were me?
Posted in Mommahood, Peaks & Valleys, tagged ants, carpenter ants, pregnant and hungry on May 19, 2010 | Leave a Comment »
I am being overrun by two things – ants and hunger. Unfortunately, I am not hungry for ants, or else I would probably be full. There are so many of them that I have almost come to regard them as annoying roommates – you’d like for them to go, but they live here so you [...]
My daughter from another mother
Posted in Mommahood on May 9, 2010 | 3 Comments »
My daughter is living in an alternate universe. With an alternate family. Yup, according to Kaya, she has another family. Another mommy, daddy, and big brother, but her “other” family also includes a big sister and a dog. Fantasize much? Her other family sounds really swell. They don’t yell. They let her eat all the [...]
I swear I packed my massage therapist in my suitcase, but I can’t find her
Posted in Mommahood, Peaks & Valleys, tagged facial, Golden Door spa, massage, smoothies on May 1, 2010 | 1 Comment »
Alas, poor me. Re-entering reality after a week of spa life is challenging. There is no one to bring breakfast to my room every morning with my favorite newspaper, there is no healthy evening snack waiting for me when I go to bed, and no one has made me a smoothie in five days. Worst of [...]
Breaking Spring
Posted in Mommahood, Peaks & Valleys on April 5, 2010 | Leave a Comment »
Whoever invented spring break did not have kids. Or else they had some fancy second home on a tropical island and a private jet to whisk them off to it. Or the courage to brave Disneyland during a holiday. As I have none of the above, and Siigo just returned from a 10-day trip (yeah, [...]
Multi-tasking Redefined
Posted in Mommahood, tagged Jell-O, making Jell-O with kids, multi-tasking on March 30, 2010 | Leave a Comment »
What I did while talking on the phone to my mother: 1. Instructed two kids on the art of making Jell-O 2. Yelled at two kids for yelling at each other 3. Wiped Kaiden’s ass after taking a major poo 4. Cleaned up Jell-O mess 5. Did dishes 6. Opened mail 7. Helped Kaya change [...]
Sexercise is the New Jazzercise

Sorry for my long absence. I am sure your days were consumed with longing for an updated post from Mountain Momma. But as usual, I have an excuse – I’ve been engrossed in the book “Essential Exercises for the Childbearing Year.” My midwife recommended it to me after I told her I wanted to try [...]
Toilet Tales, or My Life as a Series of Bathroom Stops
Posted in Mommahood, tagged car seat liners, Kids who have to pee while in the car, Piddle Pad, taking kids to the bathroom on March 9, 2010 | 3 Comments »
I think I am definitely changing the name of this blog to “The Bathroom Chronicles.” Think of all the wonderful tag lines I could have: “life down the drain,” or “pissed off” or, simply, “crap.” Yesterday I was in a minimum of four public bathrooms. And this was with only one child in tow – [...]
