I’m sick. In the head, sure. But, like, sick sick. It started with a sore throat last Saturday. I figured it was from shouting all night at the noisy bar we went to in California. But the sore throat lingered. It turned into a nasty, dry cough. I almost threw up a few times from coughing (in [...] Aside from a few words that get me beer and food, I don’t know any German so I looked this post title up on Google Translate. According to a subsequent Google search, “Verdammt noch mal” means something in the vein of “Damn it!” “Damnation!” or “Dadgummit!” Close enough. I was raised mostly in Southern California. Where I lived, there were vast fields of strawberries and thick orange groves that would perfume the whole city during orange blossom season. We would throw open the windows at night to inhale the sweet balm of nascent citrus. The smell was intoxicating. Then it was all bulldozed and [...] I’ve written before about things that piss me off with having twins. I know, I shouldn’t be so bitter. Twins are awesome and people are naturally curious. Hell, I’ve been guilty of saying to another twin mom on the street, “Oh, twins! How old are they?” BUT. There is one question that is simply idiotic. Unnecessary. Crazy, [...] The girls had their (late) nine-month appointment on Friday. Elise is at 17lb 1oz and Althea is at 17lb 2oz. (For the first time ever, Althea outweighed her sister!) Elise was twisting around during her measurements and measured about 26 3/8 inches long (pretty sure that’s wrong), while Althea measured 27 inches long. Both had [...] One of my bestest friends on the planet had a gorgeous baby boy a couple of months ago. Of course, we had to visit the happy new family. We actually bought plane tickets months ago, before my friend’s baby was even born. At the time, I thought, “Wow, the girls are going to be eight months [...] Elise’s off-kilter behavior led me to schedule an appointment with the pediatrician. After talking with some friends and reading yesterday’s comment on my post, it seemed possible that she had an ear infection. The appointment was for 4 p.m. I should have known to not bother showing up on time. A same-day, late-afternoon appointment with a [...] I’m having a tough time, guys. I’m stressed, sad and tired. The latest events with our cats is wearing on me. Kramer developed a fever and I took him in to the vet. The way he has his jaw wired in place makes him drool and backwash everywhere, including into his food bowl. He drips and [...] Please consider donating to this extremely worthwhile cause. In Florida, freestanding birth centers aren’t allowed to do VBACs (Vaginal Birth After Cesarean). In other words, the state is telling ladies how and where they can have their babies! Through midnight tonight, donations are being matched. True-and-only-somewhat-related story: I went to a Mom’s Night Out with a bunch [...] Aside from the dirty fridge, please tell me what’s wrong with this picture. Oh well. Happy Father’s Day? |
