Unexpected expenses…

By amanda May 31st, 2008

Being up 30 times a night does a num­ber on your energy level.  Prepa­ra­tion for the future…I know…it doesn’t make me any less pooped.  I expected it.
What I didn’t count on was the dra­matic increase in the amount of toi­let paper we use here.  It makes sence though, get up to pee once every 15 […]

Yup…still yellow and green…

Today I found out that my Dr.s are gone.  Yup straight out of the movies, my OB has left the coun­try, the other one no longer works for the clinic, and the “stand in” is on vaca­tion. (with all of this in mind I’m imag­in­ing Comma will decide to pop out at any moment)  So […]

Ah kids…

This morn­ing I wanted to kill him when I found him chew­ing a but­ton off of my blue chair.   When I got home I was mad at him for being in the moses bas­ket…
But he was just too cute to move…
This must be what hav­ing kids is like…

Never talk about politics or game systems…

My first response, out loud, to my sis­ter get­ting a Wii was “Awwww…bitch!”  I know, it’s imma­ture, but I wanted a Wii first!  She has a house!  She was a (newer) car!  She had the first baby!  I want the Wii…I want it I want it I want it!.…Ok…so none of that has any­thing to […]

Summer lovin…

By amanda May 17th, 2008

I’m glad I wont be preg­nant in the dead of sum­mer.  The “oh my God, it’s so hot I cant breath” of sum­mer, the “I know its a dec­o­ra­tive pond…I don’t care I’m div­ing in any­way” of sum­mer.  I should be done before it gets REALLY nasty out. 
Many women I know have said they’d rather […]

I’ve never liked McRibs…

By amanda May 15th, 2008

Well add to the amaz­ing, absurd, astound­ing thing that is pregnancy…two cracked ribs.  Yup.  What it took my mom twenty eight years and a fall from a motor­cy­cle to do I did in thirty with a nasty cold.  At least with the motor­cy­cle I would have sounded tough…
Nope, I coughed myself into cracked ribs.  It […]

Never call…never write…

By amanda May 12th, 2008

The writ­ing around here has been sparse…to say the least.  What have I been up to?  Whats been keep­ing me busy and beat?
Well…
Reuphol­ster­ing…
Training…

Assem­bling…

and thinking…“No won­der every­one keeps ask­ing how long…”

And speaking of funny animals…or at least animals with funny names…

I love the fact that when the first platy­pus was sent from one sci­en­tist from another they thought it was a fake.  Hon­estly I can’t blame them.  Look at that face, it looks like a mole wear­ing a beak mask.  A ven­omous ani­mal with fur, a bill, and it lays eggs?  Ven­omous?  Seri­ously?  Yes, and […]

Admit it…it makes you giggle too…

By amanda May 10th, 2008

I came across the head­line ear­lier today and just laughed and laughed.  When I read the story I think the author had just as great a time writ­ing it as I did read­ing it.  I can just imag­ine a 12 year old boy choos­ing to do an oral report on this par­tic­u­lar bird just so […]

Excuses…excuses…

By amanda May 8th, 2008

Well the nasty cough has become the nasty cough and sore throat so I’m not talk­ing much today.  I know, it shouldn’t effect typ­ing but…
So I’m going to nap instead.  I leave you with this image though. Proof!  Proof that “real men” carry dia­per bags.  (They just have their wife make them a bad ass skull […]
