Mama/Roomba/bag fail
The past few mornings Zoe has decided to wake up very early (for her), much to my chagrin, since I have been staying up too late packing and then generally wasting time. Today was the same, and being the lazy mother I am, once it became apparent that she was absolutely done sleeping, I let [...]

Soap
05.29.08 | Permalink | 6 CommentsI generally aim to smell neutral, if not pleasant. My hygiene since becoming a mother has had its questionable periods, but on average I bathe or shower at least once a day. And except for a few months during and after my cancer experience when I did not use deodorant (or anything else I had [...]

Upswing
I broke a sweat using the Wii for 30 minutes today – yay! Which reminds me… the podiatrist said to wear the boot for two weeks and nix exercise for six, including swimming. Surely he didn’t mean no Wii Fit, right? What about dancing around the apartment with my daughter? I was wearing the boot. [...]

Another long rambling one…
05.17.08 | Permalink | 2 CommentsZoe is still a little on the sick side. Snotting continues, and she fights her decongestant as if it were hemlock, causing most surfaces to be crusted with the stuff (both snot and medicine). Her fuss to play ratio is roughly 80/20. My remaining handful of nerves are shot – ask Joel – I am [...]

Sick, fat & happy, sleepy
It’s official: Zoe has her first illness that warrants medication. Sunday night was hellacious – she woke up so congested that she couldn’t breathe, and we had to hold her upright for her to be comfortable. She was burning up and pretty angry that the Nuk and the teat were not as fun given that [...]

Mamas
Momming is HARD. Without a doubt it is the most difficult thing I have encountered in life so far, and I know most Moms out there have a lot less help than I do. Now more than ever I appreciate the work that goes into being a Mama. (Zoe, if you’re reading this someday, you [...]

Weekend, update
We had a nice weekend while my Dad was in town. I feel like his visit went by too quickly – I worked two of the days, we had a garage sale and he had a golf tournament, and he left early this morning. My camera ran out of batteries during our dinner last night, [...]

The perfect storm
After an uneventful night, Zoe woke up earlier than I expected she would (although of course she did – we didn’t need to be up – that’s how it works). Though she was still tired, she fought and fought, and eventually I grumpily got up with her. Grumpily being the operative word. After half an [...]

It had to be just so…
04.22.08 | Permalink | 7 CommentsRecently Joel bought a couple more Moleskine products. One is for jotting down work ideas and planning, and the other is for writing a journal to Zoe, which I think is incredibly sweet. Even better than the sentiment is that he is actually writing to her, mostly about their activities and time spent together on [...]
