It all started with a coupon for 50 cents off a bag of peanut butter cookie mix. Usually I don’t buy cookie mixes, but the bag is about two bucks, and double coupons make the bag cost less than $1.25. That, and there was a peanut butter blossom featured in the ad next [...]

Today, being the last Thursday of the month, is outing day for the playgroup. Months ago, I picked Monkey Joe’s. The concept is a big noisy room with bouncy inflatables. Add sugar, pizza and kids. Shake and pour.
I tested this outing a few months ago, when the weather was super hot and I wanted [...]
Delurking rant
Posted in Uncategorized, tagged RANT on November 28, 2007 | 1 Comment »
GRRRR…..
I read 5 or 6 different blogs on most days, and I like to read the messages that people leave. It really annoys me when people comment on blogs and use the word delurking.
“I’m just delurking to say I am sooooo happy for you.” etc.
Duh. Just say it! Are we supposed to think your comment [...]
Happy Thanksgiving + 6 days
Posted in Uncategorized on November 28, 2007 | 2 Comments »
So, I’ve been the blogless loser for the last several days, but I have been a woman of accomplishment. The house is decorated for Christmas! More about that later.
First off, however, Happy Thanksgiving! Did you all eat yourselves into a food coma? Cook for hours and then eat for 25 minutes with the [...]
Honestly – I will post again
Posted in Uncategorized, tagged Me time on November 26, 2007 | 1 Comment »
I’m working on the Thanksgiving weekend post, and am almost done with the restaurant reviews, but I’m tweeking. Both the post and just tweeking in general.
I need a little help getting my poop in a pile. Me time shouldn’t involve dusting picture frames and washing the dishes, but that’s all the ME time I’ve had [...]
A good nights sleep.

YEA ME! I got a good night’s sleep!
I feel so much better. I may even live.
Last night, Tony took the baby and I went to bed early. He just brought her in when she needed a sip and then took her away again, to burp, sooth and lull. I can’t tell you what a gift [...]
Getting back to normal

Before I publish this post, I think it’s only fair to post a ‘cranky’ warning:
You’ve been warned.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
My mother has gone home.
My husband has gone back to work.
Tomorrow – I will be alone with the babies.
On the one hand, I am really looking forward to getting on with the next few years of my life: raising [...]

Elly is not feeling her best. No barf since Friday, But there is something not right in her digestive track. Let’s just say… she’s gassy. And her breath really stinks. And she’s got a problem that has ended up in a WAY wild case of diaper rash.
Today is a stay at home and get better [...]
Fanoo’s Persian Tea House

Two kids, especially to very small kids, are generally a pain in the hookah to get out of the house and off to a nice dinner. But, the little boogers didn’t stop us last night from having a family date night. Tony and I have had date night for… I guess our whole [...]

Elly barfed this morning. As usual, she crawled up onto her father to do it.
There are several factors that may have contributed to the up-chuck. First is the flu shot she got on Monday, but that seems like a long time ago to have an effect now. Then second is she goes [...]
