  Ding-Dong & The Great Laundry Fiasco
  About, Just For Fun, life as it is (6)

  What a tremendous feeling of accomplishment and satisfaction to haul that FINAL load of newly washed baby laundry into the house, or at the very least to watch Hubby haul it! As we trudged home after an exhausting day of celebration on the Fourth, Hubby dropped the bag of fragrant receiving blankets, boppy covers and quilts on the front step and headed back to the car to retrieve Princess who was still fast asleep in the back row of the minivan. I grabbed the bag and dropped it just behind my favorite espresso-colored leather chair near our front entrance-way to ...

  Wordless Wednesdays: A Thousand Words
  pregnancy, life as it is, wordless wednesdays, modern motherhood (3)

  A picture is worth a thousand words and perhaps, just perhaps, a thousand words could describe a picture. Today, for you, my dear readers, I have neither a photo nor the thousand words to describe one.  In fact, I've just about nothing which with to entertain, interest, or tug at your heartstrings. So why post at all? I MISS YOU! This last week or so has been trying to say the least, as I have spent tons of time "nesting" and resting, swimming and sunning, trying to ward off all signs of the inevitable preeclamptic phase of my pregnancy. Unfortunately, while my bran-spanking-new ...

  Neighborhood News & Flaunt It Preview
  Neighborhood News, Flaunt It Fridays, life as it is (6)

  “It’s a beautiful day in the neighborhood, a beautiful day for a neighbor. Would you be mine? Could you be mine?” because the one I’ve got has turned out to be a first class bitch! Late Tuesday night as sat in the kitchen enjoying the first balmy evening breezes through the open window and listening to the spring leaves shaking away the last drops of that afternoon’s deluge, I was startled by an unnerving sound. Something remotely resembling an indescribable snap, crackle, crash came wielding from the darkness of our yard, followed by a frightening pop and pitch blackness. “It figures” ...

  Monday Musings: Separation Anxiety
  life as it is (5)

  Separation anxiety is a terrible thing. Poor little creatures fighting feelings of abandonment and loneliness, distraught with fear over the possibility that mama might not return. Kids?! Who the hell is talking about the kids?! I’m talking about me! Yes, darlings, little old me!  You expected an educational post about dealing with toddler issues, didn’t you? No such luck here! You get to forage over the bemoanings of a Grandma-spoiled almost-forty year old whose own mama just so happens to be ON VACATION! IN SUNNY FLORIDA! FOR! TEN! DAYS!   Since we’ve had to let the nanny/housekeeper go (I never did explain ...

  Monday Morning Musings: Messes
  Monday Musings, Welcome to My World, life as it is (4)

  Some things just don't make sense. Take for example Monday Morning Messes. All week long I deal with the children on my own (Yes, we fired the nanny. Don't ask. Please, don't ask). For five and three quarters days I juggle my two-and-a-half little munchkins, the house, the business bookeeping and everything else in between. Despite it all, I still manage to keep a tidy and clean home, with the exception of the girls' room which is - thanks to one truly energy-draining pregnancy - often strewn with toys and such. One would think, since the non-mess making odds are so much better on ...

  Flaunt It Friday: Fridge Photos
  Flaunt It Fridays, life as it is, photography (10)

  Getting back to basics this week, and that because when you spend days on end nauseated as all hell it is difficult to get "deep" about anything except the very real possibility that you may just be tempted to stick your fingers down your throat out of desperation! This Flaunt It Friday challenge, what the hell, let's have a look-see into each other's fridge!  Ah, you thought I meant the photos you put on the outside! Nothing doing, girls. That'd be way too easy! Flaunt the INSIDE, as ugly a site it may be, as embarassing or as pride injecting it may ...

  Life As It Is: Damned if you do…
  life as it is, relationships, rants, speaking my mind (1)

  For some of us it is a fact of life that no matter who you are or what you do, no matter how much of an effort you make or how much you go out of your way to accommodate or be kind, no matter how many hoops you jump through or how many times you eat crow, with some people you JUST! CAN’T! WIN! Apparently in some circles, it is inevitable; there is absolutely nothing you can do. You are the culprit, the outsider, a nut, someone in dire need of psycho-meds, the bitch, the one who can do ...

  Flaunt It Friday: The Best of 2007
  Flaunt It Fridays, life as it is (10)

  With the end of the year so close and the first days of 2008 fast approaching, it is high time that we spend a few moments remembering. As people with a calendar and what’s more, a mind, how could we possibly neglect to look back on what has been for the past twelve months and not give heed to all the good with which we have been blessed?! I remember at some point this fall (Thanksgiving week, I think) coming to the realization that true happiness is to be found in gratitude. While it is very simple to forget much of ...
