Bird’s eye view…

Or really just bird view…
Saw this hawk creature today in my parents’ driveway and had to stop for a picture:

and a little closer:

Wow.

Convenient inconvenience

You know how sometimes something really inconvenient happens but good comes out of it?  Something that would never have occurred (or not for a while, at least) had you not been inconvenienced in the first place?
This morning was one of those mornings.  At 5:44 a woman called looking for a local medical center.  We used [...]

Seeing is believing.

uninspired.

I’m feeling pretty uninspired today. The most exciting thing I did was create a pivot table.  I didn’t get to make play-doh sculptures or read books or play with magnetic letters. That’s ok.  I have to admit it was a pretty nice pivot table.
Oh–and we closed today on our refi.  Yay!  Now I can start [...]

2 years and 1 day old!

Yago woke up at 3:30 this morning.  Of course had fallen asleep in the car at 6pm on the way home from Grandma’s so I was not really surprised.  However–just for you Brigid!–I did give him the fish eye when asked me for “Elmo” at 3:30 in the morning.
He stayed in our bed watching sesame [...]

Baby update…

No, no baby yet!  And please don’t hold your breath.  I have had a discussion with the baby-to-be and we are in agreement that he will at least wait another two weeks.
The due date is Nov 25.  At my appointment on Tuesday the doctor let me know that I’m at 2cm and 70% effaced.  –and [...]

Shame on me…I should have known better.

You may remember my post on the Ah-ha moment where I realized what may have happened to the DVR remote.  I thought Yago threw it in the trash.
I should know better than to blame Yago.  He picks up trash from the floor and throws it away, he takes his own wraped diaper to the trash, [...]

Does anyone want an Italian greyhound?

Because I’m this ready to give one up.  I take him out, I walk him, I’m almost 8 months pregnant carrying an almost 2 year-old and still walk around with him, and this is how he treats me…
I don’t mind that he poops in the house.  I don’t mind if we are late getting to [...]

Thank goodness…

Today was a good day at work.  Any day that you can avoid 2 lawsuits (one a WC from 2004 set to go to trial on Thursday! and the other only at EEO stage from 2007) is a good day!
Thank goodness.  Now I can focus on other things this week!
Other things I’m thankful for today…
That [...]

Banned Book Week

I’ve been having a great “conversation” with folks on facebook regarding banned books. It amazes me that as parents we are expected to take responsibility for what our children watch on TV, or access on the internet but we can’t be trusted with the responsibility of monitoring the books that our children read?   
And one of my [...]
