That's just how I blog

To the average reader, my blog posts may appear to be effortless. It may seem as though they simply spring from my pen…er, my keyboard…with no real work on my part. That could not be farther from the truth. In actuality, it takes me a few days to fully flesh out a blog (well, there are...

Two Teenagers

I have decided that I must be entirely insane at the moments I catch myself wanting another kid. Silly me – I forgot that they grow up…and I recently discovered that there is no way I could ever handle two teenagers. My niece, Summer, came for another visit over her winter break. We looked...

Belly Buttons

A week or so ago, Dom made an incredible discovery. Until now, his pudgy belly has prevented the full exploration of his lower body. He is losing the last of his baby fat (which means I am losing my baby, but never mind…). In the bathtub last week, he stopped pouring water over his belly and craned...

Our evening (Or, why I need a boytoy to whisk me away for a tropical weekend)

Dom has been sick. I have been sick. The hardest part of being a Mommy is taking care of your kidlet when you really, really need your own Mommy to take care of you. Tonight, a cranky Dom was sitting on my lap five minutes before his bedtime. Daddy came at him with a horrifying instrument of torture...

Goodbye, Capital Crescent Trail, Hello Purple Line

As I said in my last entry, Dom and I took full advantage of the beautiful Spring weather D.C. has had lately by going on a lot of walks. The majority of those walks took place, at least partially, along the Capital Crescent Trail, a biking/hiking path that connects Rock Creek Park and the Georgetown...

Oh, Spring!

Oh, Spring, you deceptive tease! For the past week or so, D.C. has been enjoying beautiful weather. I mean coatless, you-could-wear-shorts-if-it-didn’t-make-you-look-like-a-dork weather (my apologies to those readers still shoveling out from their last polar freeze). While the weather lasted, Dom...

Octomom

I have a confession to make. I am obsessed with news about Octomom. You know, that woman who already had six kids, all of whom were living off of her parents, and then decided to have six more embryos implanted? Which resulted in eight more mouths for her…er, her parents…er, the state of...

I try, I try!

It seems to be taking longer and longer to go anywhere or get anything done these days. This isn’t because I have become more disorganized (perish the thought!). Rather, it is all Dom’s fault. He is become more independent by the day, and he insists on helping with each task. “I try...

Skating Fun!

Our family has a new favorite winter destination. Nestled in the middle of Rockville, with a Starbucks just down the block, is the Rockville Town Square Skating Rink. I have written about the Rockville Town Square before in my "Swarm of Bees" entry. During the winter, the movie screen is removed...

I am a very happy Mommy tonight...

So, we have a new President. A lot remains to be seen - whether he will be able to turn our country around, whether he will be able to keep all of his campaign promises, whether his daughters will get even cuter as we watch them grow up... One thing, I am very certain of, though. Today, as I watched...

Chocolatey Goodness

Just before bedtime tonight, I changed Dom’s diaper. Just as I usually do. And just as I usually do, I took off the legs of his sleeper to pull them out of the way. That is when something very unusual happened. As I pulled the legs of the sleeper skyward, a veritable cascade of objects poured out...

"Big boy"

My baby is growing up. It is completely, utterly unfair, but over the past few weeks, we have had three “I’m a big boy now” moments. It may take me the rest of my life to recover from this heartbreak. Dom finally ditched Binky! I was gradually cutting it shorter and shorter, and he...

Boys vs. Girls

I have always said that I want all boys. Deep down, I am convinced that, should I have a girl, she would be a girly girl. I am as far from a girly girl as a woman can get. As a kid, I played with the boys - I climbed trees and played in the muddy creek. I would not know what to do with a girly girl....

All Together Mommies

One of these days, I will magically morph into one of those Mommies who have it all together. You know the ones - they balance soccer, ballet and grocery shopping and schedule each dentist appointment exactly six months after the last. They whip out their Blackberries in the carpool line and cross items...
