So cliche
It may be cliche but I seriously have the most amazing husband.
I’ve been gone since Sat when he had to get the baby up and drive me to the airport an hour away thanks to a nail in my tire. He’s been on his own all week (with help from our neighbor friend) and I am gone again next week. But hes just taking it in stride. I know he’s got to be tires and looking forward to me being...
Leavin Las Vegas
Lalala. Heading on the bus to McCarren where I’ll catch a flight to Austin. The bonus is I get to break up my flight time on the way home.
The onsite went well but there were several things if given the opportunity I would do differently. C’est la vie
I miss my little family. Last night I heard Emerson on the phone saying mommy and it broke through my protective wall I stick up so...
Done
Done. At the end of the day the opening was better than expected, the closing below expectation and I have a quarter size blister on the ball of my foot thanks to the treadmill at the hotel gym. I’m exhausted and heading to Austin in the morning. Lord help me.

Bwi baby
Sitting at the airport waiting for my flight. Got maybe 4 hrs of sleep so I’m looking forward to passing out on the plane. I’m also praying this flight isn’t full.
The bonus is I get to vegas at 10 and my pre con isn’t until 3. I’m just hoping my room is ready when I arrive.
Matt and Emerson ended up driving me up after I found a nail in my tire last night. Stupid...
Vegas Baby
Since I can’t put a status update on the Facebook….
Embarrassing (mom) moment 742
Damn static cling. I just found my (clean) under drawers in Emersons daycare cubbie. Apparently they must’ve stuck to her nap time stuff. Oy
That kinda day
I have on a black bra and a white shirt…..and no I am not trying to be all “Brittany Spears”.
Some Days I feel like a Big Fail...and Those Days...
It’s been a tough day. As I write this I’m brooding a bit. My husband, the manager has informed me that I seem like a big stressball when he comes home and he wants to help me find a solution. He then proceeds to tell me that sometimes I “need to be managed”.
Before you jump down his throat, I get his point. Granted his timing is total suckage…and delivery for...
Lenton Challenge, Day 1
So yesterday went pretty well. I’ll admit around 4pm when I needed a brain break I got antsy. Also last night, sitting in front of the TV when commercials came on. The goal of this (among other things) was to force me to interact with my family. Last night I didn’t get home until after Emerson was in bed and then I was too busy trying to keep myself busy so I wouldn’t miss it...

Can I change my mind??
4:00pm withdrawls…..I got the Facebook shakes!
Joyeux Mardi Gras!
Tomorrow marks the first day of Lent which means (among other things) no more Facebook! I’ll admit, I’m freaking out a bit. Facebook though has been taking up waaay too much of my time and attention and quite frankly there are things, people, crap that has been a negative impact.
So, in honor of this big step, here’s a list of 10 facts (possibly random, possibly not), the...
Pass the Doggie Gerital
I took Archie boy in for a pretty routine visit tonight. He needed more flea and tick meds, as well as some other routine stuff. While we were there I wanted to ask the vet about his fat lumps that keep growing and his licking.
We adopted Archie 2.5 years ago. Best we could all figure he was 2-3 years old. Of course, there’s no way to be sure but we really did think much of it. As we...
Drowning
Warning: The following is a bit of verbal diarrhea with a little pity party to boot. Continue on at your own risk.
I’m drowning. I don’t any other way to describe it. Not even the “oh woah is me I have so much work” but the kind of all consuming ball of stress that is suffocating me. Suffocating….as I write it I realize what an appropriate word that is.

They should bottle this stuff
Tonight I picked up some oral lidocaine. Holy crap. At first I was so hesitant. Its the consistency of syrup. Thankfully there’s no flavor and I was able to dab it on my tongue.
Sweet relief. Maybe we should use this for teething
Lucky One
The past few weeks have been a bit rough. Nothing catastrophic, just a bunch of little (and not so little) things that add up to a whole bunch of crap. Let’s just say that it’s not made for the best start off of the year.
It started off with a pseudo promotion that I was a shoe in for, except that the person who ended up getting it already works with the particular client so yea,...

Dear Emerson
February 6, 2012
Dear Emerson,
Tonight while I was making dinner you were a bit fussy thanks to your molars and I was rushing around when I heard “Nana”. Huh?
“Nana” and you were pointing.
I turned….and there they were. Bananas. I had moved them while trying to get the potatoes.
Sure you’ve said Nana before, but this is the first time you’ve ever looked at something unprovoked and pointed...
Weekend Review
In case you hand’t noticed, I’ve been working at updating this morning. For a while I was all “who really wants to read it” but you know who does? Future me.
Matt like’s to remind me that my eyes are bigger than my calendar (my saying in fairness, not his). In other words, much like it’s “your eyes are bigger than your stomach” counterpart I have...
Time for a bloglift
It seems it’s time for a blog-lift of sorts. I have had Matt helping me (since i have ZERO vision) on the look of the blog, but since I’ve also sort of taken this over on all things Me and my family vs just the wee one, it may be time for a name change too. We shall see, Lord knows I’m awesome at change…ha!
Yesterday I donated blood. It was simple enough, the owners of our building set up these blood drives every few months. With the exception of me not screwing up what day it is supposed to be on (don’t ask) it’s nothing more than me signing up for a time and showing up.
I appreciate the fact that they do make it so easy. I think donating is important, but it’s also difficult...
