Got Milk?

Avery used to be a milk-drinker.  Then she wasn’t.  Then she was. 
Then it was a chocolate milk thing.  It was da bomb! Now…not so much.
Last night the two of us sat down to dinner and I poured us each a glass of **GASP** WHITE MILK…
And I told her that if she drank it all, she [...]

Today is not a good day

To live or work in Detroit.  I am watching the news, and seeing the auto industry continue to crumble.
We lived in a bubble yesterday – watching MSU tromp on Louisville *GO SPARTANS* and then celebrating my father-in-laws birthday.   I may have been the last to hear the news from Washington…
It’s a terrible thing to live [...]

Is that an alien in your tummy?

For those that have been pregnant before, you may remember the CRAZY dreams that plague our sleep during these 9 (10) months.  If you haven’t had the experience, trust me, it’s as bizarre as it can get.
Last night was no exception.
Let me set the stage for you – girls weekend.  I’m pregnant, just as far [...]

Construction time

And this weekend’s project?  Baby’s room.
We got the carpet installed on Thursday.  And now it’s time for the chair railing and painting.   It’s going to look awesome when it’s all done.
And I think we finally agreed on a name for the wee one.  Hubby went out with his buddy last night and via text he [...]

ABC Sucks

I am so fucking pissed off right now…
I wanted to watch their new show “In the Motherhood” tonight.  As I am watching and Avery is settling into bed, there is a big thing about how there is no Santa – THE FUCKING MINUTE SHE WALKS INTO THE ROOM.   She doesn’t realize what she hears…Whew.  Then [...]

Where are the flowers?

Today was carpet day.  After spending hours getting everything out of the baby’s room and Avery’s room the carpet installers came.  And it looks awesome.  So finished. 
I am not a hardwood floor fan, but I can deal.  I’m a big girl.
But…Avery is not pleased.  Apparently she is pissed because her new carpet:
1) isn’t pink
2) doesn’t have [...]

Those are Parts

Thinking back to when I was pregnant with Avery, I remember our online FTMs group having an in depth discussion about what we called our “nether regions” and the convo continuing on to what we would call our children’s genitals.  (Take that search terms!)
My MIL and I have a disagreement.  She taught Avery very young [...]

Monsters are scared of PINK

At least that is what we have told Avery recently.  Even after her big girl bed, and pink room, she’s still scared. 
Then she told us that more than pink, Monsters are scared of Princesses.  Specifically Snow White.  Poor Snow White.  I hate to ruin her reputation like that, but if it makes an almost 4 [...]

Happy Birthday Hubby!

Today is Hubby’s birthday – 38. 
Avery and I are baking a cake for him today after school.  She wants it to be PINK (surprise) but I’m thinking we can compromise.
Happy Birthday, honey!  I love you!
XOXO

I’m happiest on my back

Now, stop, and get your mind out of the gutter. 
Keep reading…
I’m a back sleeper.  I hardly move at all when I sleep.  Pull the covers back, lay down and that’s how you’ll find me in the AM.  That’s before I had a basketball for a stomach.  There is a long list of the scarifices that are made by [...]
