Moving.

Alright, so here goes. I am moving this blog. Figured I better do it now rather than later. I would love it if you follow me over, or update your links. This content will stay here for now, but from now on you can find me here.

you know what?

You know what? I’m sort of ashamed of this blog. I have the chance to make it bigger, to expand. And I am hesitant, because, well it means people in my real world might find out about it. I don’t tell people in real life about this. I wouldn’t say that [...]

TOTAL FAILURE.

Getting off to work in the morning with Violet requires a change of clothes, her diaper box, bottles, formula, a baby swing, the baby Bjorn, monkey, plastic keys, and Vallium.  I forgot socks.  What is it to you?  Yes, I forgot socks.  Thanks for reminding me.

Me: No, but if you wiggle your hips I think that covers it.
I walked the market and purchased a [...]

Tantrums.

A young boy at work, maybe four, is having a complete meltdown.  I think it is over cereal, but I’m not sure, because I refuse to leave the office to found out.  Not only that I have put on head phones, because seriously, it is driving me insane.  I am SUPPOSED to be out there [...]
