It’s official. I spent more time trying to get the baby to sleep (2.75 hours) than I did at the meetup (2.25 hours). Something has got to change. Has anyone ever dealt with a kid who has to be rocked to sleep? How do you get them to fall asleep in their [...]

I went to the Austin Blog Meetup tonight, for the second time. I keep meaning to go but life always seems to get in the way. I enjoyed the people and hated the space - our choices were: 1) get rained on, 2) listen to really loud music, or 3) listen to horrible [...]

Last night Jo and I went grocery shopping.
“Mommy, which area is this?”
“This is the health food area.”
“Oh. So where’s the Oreo area?”
What a precocious little twerp.
I bought a Crenshaw melon, never having tried one before. It’s insanely tender and juicy. The knife slid through it like butter. Rivulets of sweet juice [...]

I ran across the “Imponderables” site a few days ago. I enjoyed the books, but haven’t had time to read through the site. I did notice a question - “Why do women tend to drop hints rather than ask questions or for favors directly?”.
Well, tell you what. My daugher is three years [...]
