QOTW 5: Meal Planning

Wednesday, April 18th, 2007

Do you have a weekly meal plan? How do you plan for your family dinners?
I do not have a weekly meal plan. We do eat a lot of the same meals quite a bit, because I get a lot of fish: cajun catfish, salmon pinwheels and things from Publix because they do their fish prep [...]

Halfway There

Wednesday, April 18th, 2007

Last night I had my sleep study. It was…an experience. One I don’t wish to repeat. The worst part was having to spend my first night ever away from the munchkin. He was very unhappy that I was leaving. I had to go at about 8 p.m. which was early enough that I couldn’t put [...]

Busy Times

Monday, April 16th, 2007

It’s been very hectic the past few days and it’s only going to get worse. Tomorrow night I have to go for a ’sleep study’ to see if they can determine exactly what’s causing my insomnia. The doctor is worried that I might have sleep apnea. I’m keeping my fingers crossed that it’s something else. [...]

It Really Is Out to Get Me

Thursday, April 12th, 2007

My husband laughs at me sometimes because I personify inanimate objects and corporations. He loves to point out that really the television can’t dislike me, and the cooker is not out to get me, but I know better.
His old car really hated me. Maybe it was my own fault for naming it ‘The Hulk’ but [...]

As You Like It (or don’t)

Thursday, April 12th, 2007

I’ve been feeling better overall lately, which is good in some ways. My drive to actually do things other than stare at a computer screen when I’m not chasing after the munchkin has returned. I’m actually re-arranging and throwing unnecessary things out at home.
I just wish things wouldn’t keep popping up to try and suck [...]

He learned to share–yay?

Tuesday, April 10th, 2007

This meal time has been an interesting one. Munchkin woke up from his nap crabby and I tried to give him veggies. He threw them all over the floor and the proceeded to pick them up and bring them to me one by one. At first he would turn over my hand and put them [...]

QOTW 4: Scams

Tuesday, April 10th, 2007

The WAHM Question of the Week this week is:
What is the worst Work at Home Scam you have seen or heard about?
Wow. I’ve heard about quite a few scams. I think it’s one of the reasons I was so very hesitant to sign up with PPP because I was afraid that it was another scam, [...]

Learning to Ask

Tuesday, April 10th, 2007

Since I posted the ‘Dear Baby’ letter we’ve had a few developments which I am hoping stick. Last night the munchkin actually came to me twice, without screaming, and gave me his bottle or bowl and said ‘Ta?’ rather than just lobbing them at my head.
He was thusly rewarded with food.
This morning we had a [...]

Self Portrait Sunday

Monday, April 9th, 2007

(on Monday). We weren’t home enough for me to do this yesterday. We spent most of the day at my in-laws house. So, here we are:

Bit of a difference from last week, eh? This is because I got my haircut on Tuesday. I drew a crowd at the salon!
For more details on Self Portrait Sunday:

No Munchkins Allowed

Monday, April 9th, 2007

There’s been a problem in our house with people leaving the bathroom door open, and then us realizing that the munchkin is awfully, awfully quiet, and would be found a few minutes later trying to climb into the bath tub, or flushing the toilet, or worse; trying to open the toilet and climb into that.
