When you realize your "baby" is not a baby anymore....

Today we went out to do our errands (yes, in the 103 degree weather, YUCK). After our trip to Target, we went to Hen House. It was quite a drive because it seems all of Lee's Summit's roads are being fixed right now. We took a nice detour and along the way the kids are sitting in the van talking. Going back and forth about things. All of the sudden I hear, "Mooooom?" You know that LONG, hint of a whine, Mom that kids give you? Only this was coming from my boy, my baby???
"Yeeeeeeeeeees?" I answer back.
"Where are we going?" my boy asks.

Then it hit me. My boy is no longer a baby. Not only does he do most things bigger kids do (save using the toilet but that is for another day...) but now he realizes when he has been in the car too long for him to do errands. So much so that he has the whinny mom thing down and then asks where it is he is being dragged to next.

Where, oh where, did my baby go???

Welcome, Little One

Both mommy and baby are doing very well. These are just a few from earlier today. More to follow later.

And Just Like That.....

I made the fatal mistake of reading reviews and articles before watching a single episode of the show. I knew full well I would watch every episode regardless. I read anyway. Spoilers? Not bothered. Let me give some back story here. At 17/18 my dream had been to go to a big city (Chicago was my thinking at the time), get my degree in journalism/editing/publishing and go work at a big time magazine. Keep in mind we are talking about the mid 90's here so the idea that magazines would cease to be relevant was not even on my radar. I had been editor of my high school yearbook and unbeknownst to me at the time, we were actually doing the yearbook by coding and would get printouts hoping we had coded copy correctly. I just typed the copy I was supposed to type with the weird little codes that had been given to me on a piece of paper. I would later discover this was actually HTML code we were doing. Who knew? This fu...

I Need A Break Before I Break

Damn. There is so much swirling around in my little brain.....So. Much. I am getting ready to enter my most personally difficult time of the year. Emotionally. I am also entering my most difficult semester (and LAST!) of college. Oh, and trying to train for another half marathon. There are many days as of late that I am not sure how I'm doing it or even why at times. I am trying to keep it together, trying to keep a balance. But sometimes I am not sure I am doing so well. With so many plates to juggle, even if they are ceramic plates, I often feel as though I am dropping one (or more). I am trying to figure out what I want in life. What is important to me. What I need versus what I want. And how it all fits together with various parts of my life. I'm learning that sometimes what you think is important is not so much and things that you didn't pay much mind to are actually more importan...
