  Another Barroom, I Mean Dedbroom Brawl
  Welcome to My World, expressions of a drama queen, the kids (3)

  I love how much my children love me. The depth of their affection is truly touching, even at 3:24 am.   That’s what time Drama Queen and Princess began last night’s barroom, I mean, dedbroom, I mean bedroom brawl. Yes. 3.2.4.A.M.! The scenario is typical.  Drama Queen, sufficiently sobered up from her nighttime shake of organic milk and Ovaltine, decides that she is going to squeeze her cutie little pamper-garbed-culotto in right between her older sister and Mama. Apparently, I’m a hot commodity at the moment, since “I want MY Mama” is constantly on her lips even in this half-slumbering state. ...

  Princess Point of View: Conscientious Objector
  Welcome to My World, princess point of view, the mouth of babes, wit and wisdom (4)

  We arrived home at almost 9pm after having enjoyed an absolutely smashing family day at the Mystic Aquarium this Sunday past. Having been out of the house and going strong for over twelve hours, this Mama's "get up and go" got up and went far, far away. No pregnant women should be expected to last that long! Needless to say one very hot shower and robing in my most comfortable jammies later I was ready for sweet slumber! Hubby had gotten the girls washed up, and since he needed to run an errand (owning your own business truly sucks - as you are constantly on ...

  Popeye & Flaunt It Friday
  Welcome to My World, Flaunt It Fridays, What the Hell? (4)

  What exactly do Popeye and Flaunt It Friday have in common? Allow me to explain.   I woke this morning to the seriously disturbing sound of Hubby playing an episode of Popeye on Youtube to the girls’ early morning delight. While this comes of very little surprise, as he has been singing his brothers’ own perverted version of the theme song* since we had spinach last week, I am somewhat confused. Is this is the same conspiracy-theory, ranting and raving lunatic who protests us even having a TV for the girls’ use? The same ding-dong who has a problem with them watching “too ...

  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 ...

  Welcome to My World: Not Long Now
  Welcome to My World, pregnancy, What the Hell?, rants, speaking my mind (8)

  ***** Warning: this post is fueled by some very potent pregnancy hormones and may be inappropriate for some readers. Reader's discretion advised *****    It won’t be long now before the absolutely ludicrous pregnancy discussions and questions come rolling in.  As soon as the belly pops (it already has since after two surgeries I have no abdominal muscle left to speak of) and it is obvious that it’s all about another living being, I know that I can expect people, especially people in certain circles, to start talking crap about everything pregnant and baby including - if not exclusively consisting of - those ...

  Welcome to My World: Pregnancy, Fear & Trepidation
  Welcome to My World, pregnancy, modern motherhood (6)

  As a late thirty-something pregnant mommy with a bad case of all-day morning sickness sure to last - as is typical - far into my fourth month, I have to admit: my difficulty with pregnancy-related nausea, albeit a huge pain in the ass, is the least of my worries. My nine-monthers of mystery are miserable for more reasons than one, and while I by no means hate being pregnant, I have to be honest: it is NEVER a pleasant experience for me. Given that I know that this will have to be our last pregnancy and biological child, I have ...

  Welcome to My World: Pregnancy Sets In
  Welcome to My World, pregnancy, wit and wisdom (7)

  Can anyone please explain to me why in the world they call the nausea associated with pregnancy “morning sickness”?  As far as I can tell, it’s truly got nothing to do with morning or any other particular time of day for that matter.  In fact, I feel great in the morning, whether it’s my 6:30am wake-up call or getting up with a squeaky child at 3:00am, I feel fantastic: stomach great and ready to eat despite the time.  It’s the rest of each and every day that kills me! For the first few weeks of this pregnancy I considered myself quite ...
