Paying it Forward at the DMV

Posted in Peaks & Valleys, tagged , , , on June 21, 2010 | Leave a Comment »

Sometimes it pays to be pregnant. Like when people at the DMV take pity on you, just because you’re sitting in a metal seat with your stomach practically touching the chair in front of you. Never mind that I had no kids with me and that the woman with four kids probably deserved special treatment [...]

The Husband’s Guide to Changing Kitty Litter

Posted in Peaks & Valleys, tagged , on June 10, 2010 | 4 Comments »

With only a month to go until baby #3 arrives, I am going to relish in the one duty I have been temporarily relieved of: the dreaded task of changing the kitty litter. For those of you who don’t know, pregnant women are not supposed to get near kitty litter because there is a chance [...]

Would you eat this if you were me?

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 [...]

I swear I packed my massage therapist in my suitcase, but I can’t find her

Posted in Mommahood, Peaks & Valleys, tagged , , , 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 [...]

Maxi-pad Discipline

Posted in Peaks & Valleys on April 15, 2010 | 7 Comments »

Kaiden has been doing this thing lately where he sticks his hand down his pants, grabs his wiener and then – and this is where it gets weird – brings his hand up to his nose and smells it! I sure as hell don’t want to know what it smells like, but I am curious [...]

Go ahead, make my day. I dare you.

Posted in Peaks & Valleys, tagged on April 11, 2010 | 7 Comments »

So with Mountain Momma’s one year anniversary coming up, I thought some blogging reflection was in order. I have learned a lot about the blogosphere in this past year, and it’s turned out to have both exceeded my expectations and also underwhelmed them. On the one hand, I have met a lot of hilarious women [...]

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, [...]

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 [...]

There is an evil elf living in my living room who hates me. I swear.

Posted in Peaks & Valleys, tagged , on March 13, 2010 | 6 Comments »

There is a remote control elf in our house. I am totally convinced of it. How else do you explain the fact that our clicker is constantly disappearing? One minute the remote will be resting nicely on the coffee table, and the next, it’s gone. I swear, there is a little ogre in our living [...]
