  Homeward Bound

  A few weeks ago, Chief and Sarge were placed into a new home. This decision was made after much consideration, mostly painful. On our list of pros and cons, the only pros were that 1. I loved them, and 2. They acted as good Hoovers when Zoe dropped food. As heavily as [...]

  “Yard” Project

  06.23.08 | Permalink | Comment?

  Today we addressed the issue of our “yard” by going to Lowe’s and getting a few bags of cedar mulch, a roll of weed-resistant blanket stuff, and a few bags of pine bark nuggets. Zoe frolicked in the garden center, and by the time we got home she was asleep. The rest of [...]

  Can’t say I missed it

  This morning the whole family took a refreshing swim in our complex’s lagoon-like pool, followed by a nap for Zoe and some much-needed unpacking for Mama.
  Later we explored a nearby park and ventured to the “Super” Wal*Mart. Turns out it wasn’t so super, as the smattering of groceries available was insufficient to complete my [...]

  - Cat. Wanda and all her cat trappings went home with a new family tonight. We are sorry to see her go, but the people we met tonight are very nice, have a baby and another on the way and two dogs. Here’s to Wanda, one of the sweetest cats we ever [...]

  Cats for grab

  We have had minimal luck finding homes for our cats in circles of strangers; now I open up the search to the circle of people we know.
  I take full responsibility for how Wanda came into our lives. We took her in with the intention of finding her a home, and my pregnant self just [...]

  Sniffles, be gone!

  Posting every day is not something I ever intended to do after NaBloPoMo ended, but I didn’t mean to take so many days off… I sort of had an excuse in the form of some awful cold. I’m happy to say that I am finally off my death bed. (Actually, I have [...]

  That’s it - I’m staying in pajamas.

  It started out a perfectly nice day. Zoe and I slept in later than I expected after her early bedtime last night. We played. We danced to “Pop” by *NSYNC no fewer than four times. I even got a few things done around the house.
  In retrospect I have pinpointed that things [...]

  Takers?

  Does anyone want our dogs? Or know anyone who might? The cats are available, too. But mainly, the dogs. I’m sort of serious - if we can find an appropriate environment for them, it would be better for all involved. They love tennis balls, rawhides, playing fetch, and long walks [...]

  Here’s to insomnia

  Zoe is sleeping and has been for some time, yet I am wide awake - I never went back to sleep after her 3 AM feeding. I also only slept one of the three hours she took a nap yesterday, but my eyes were burning the whole time. What is wrong with this [...]

  Here is a real life, slight variation of the cartoon I drew recently:

  I didn’t even turn on the light - I was just up for my third potty break of the night. Today’s official 39 week belly picture to come…!
