Q: How many Bush Administration officials does it take to screw in a light bulb? A: None. There is nothing wrong with the light bulb; its conditions are improving every day. Any reports of its lack of incandescence are a delusional spin from the liberal media. That light bulb has served honorably, and anything you say undermines the lighting effect. Why do you hate freedom?
I started off laughing like crazy over this site. Then my hormones kicked in, and I started crying. I am a freak. I still highly recommend this: http://www.notwithoutmyhandbag.com/babynames/index.html
Sunday the three (five) of us decided to go swimming at the Rec-Plex. I do not own a maternity bathing suit. With my Becca pregnancy, I had placenta previa for most of it, and was told not to exercise, therefore, no swimming. I do have a two piece that fits. The best I can say of my appearance in it is that everthing that needs to be covered, is. Nothing seems to be in danger of becoming...
I have purchased the party supplies/decorations for Becca’s party. I was able to find a Sesame Street theme, instead of being limited to just Elmo. Not that Elmo is bad, but not as colorful as possible. There was even a stick the nose on the Elmo game, but since the kids will all be such varying ages, there is no way it would be fair. I am planning to make Becca an Elmo cake. We have had...
There we are, sitting in the dr’s office waiting room after our ultrasound. waiting for our dr appt. I say to Ben, ‘Now we have to decide about circumcision’. Ben says, ‘We do?’. He had apparently assumed it was just the done thing, hadn’t even realized the big debates that have been going on about it for newborns. I have been doing some reading on it. I...
boys
We just got back from the ultrasound. The twins are healthy 11 ounce (each) boys! Both placentas are anterior, which would explain why I’m not feeling too much activity. They are both transverse, with their heads pointing in the same direction. Unfortunately, they aren’t evenly lined up, so baby B has his butt on baby A’s head. According to the Pregnancy week-by-week book, the...
Becca’s second birthday is February 3. We will be having a party for her on February 5. That is a Saturday. It will be from 1-3pm. Please let me know, either by phone, email or comment if you will be attending. Gifts are completely unneccessary. Thank you.
Two additions have been made to Becca’s library so far. One, ‘The Bunny Hop’ is yet another Sesame Street book. I am holding out hope that this will replace ‘Elmo’s Twelve Days of Christmas’ in Becca’s interests. I am so sick and tired of singing that damn song. The other is In The Night Kitchen, which is no. 25 on the ALA’s banned books list. ...
It has come to my attention that Becca is greatly in need of new books. If I have to read these same books over and over again, I may throw a fit, which is not a good example to set for my child. Why are children’s books so damn expensive?!
I have finally decided to come out of my ‘I hate the world’ mode and socialize some again. I am not 100%. I am slightly catty and judgemental of others, i.e. innocent strangers walking down the street, not to your face danger. If anyone is interested in associating with me, which I certainly don’t blame you for holding off on, I am up for Bingo on Sunday evenings and vegetable...

One month from today my baby turns two. No longer will I have to count her age by months. I can officially start to strongly encourage potty-training as opposed to just having her sit on her potty fully clothed. I must put some thought into how to celebreate her birthday.
