Am I the only one who is constantly hiking up my pants and pulling down my shirt? Uh, no, that's not a euphemism for anything. Seriously, I feel like I spend the entire day hiking up my pants and pulling down my shirt. Carry on.

Those who can, blog. Those who can't, twitter. And those who can neither blog nor twitter, like me, simply read the Facebook news feed from an iPhone while nursing a child and probably update their status about once a month with something about either naps, poops, or sleep deprivation. Carry on.

Today, I made a very monumentous decision. Instead of riding my exercise bicycle while the kids were napping, I ate a white chocolate macadamia nut cookie. Wait, that wasn't the monumentous decision. I did eat the cookie, but I am certain this blog post was supposed to be about something else.... Ah...

Several weeks ago on the annual Wisdom Family Road Trip, the husband and I were having a discussion about something very important like where we should stop for lunch or maybe what time we should stop for lunch. My husband said something about not wanting to argue with me and my response was well, ...

Oh yeah, I have a blog. I've been posting regularly, really I have. I just need to figure out a way to get all of the well crafted posts out of my head and onto my blog. Seriously, I have a lot of great ideas and very poignant thoughts about motherhood and life in general going on in my head, I prom...

As promised, here is my long winded birth story for anyone who gives a crap. It is not well edited, but it is what it is. If you are not into reading stuff like this, then move along please. I had mentioned in an early post that I was going to have to come up with a blog name for this baby, but appa...

My long winded birth story will be posted some time this decade. For now, you will have to settle for just the facts... Bruiser was born 6/1/10 at 6:45 am. He weighed in at a whopping 9 lbs, 10oz and measured 21 1/2 inches in length. We are healthy, but just a little delirious from lack of sleep. An...

I'm still pregnant. At my last OB appointment, my doctor said everything as far as the pregnancy goes looks perfect. However, I am a broken down old cow. I have some sort of sciatica or sacroiliac joint dysfunction or my lower back/ass muscle hurt so badly that I can barely fucking walk issue. I ...

Since I know all of you are on the edge of your (potty) seats, wondering how TJ is doing with the potty training, I thought I would post and update. Well, we started potty training ten days ago and I would say things are going great. TJ had accidents on the first two days and since then she has ha...

Wow, moms never cease to amaze me! The camaraderie! The support! The universal knowledge that we are all (for the most part, I hope) doing the best we can with what we have. I just love it when I receive positive support and encouragement, especially from other mothers. So you can imagine my glee...

If I had just won the lottery or my daughter had just peed in her potty, I think my reaction to both scenarios would be eerily similar. Yes, for a fucking millennium, I have been trying to potty train TJ and she has never, ever, EVAR, not ONCE peed anywhere but a diaper. She will hold her pee for ...

When I was pregnant with TJ, I told one of my oldest high school friends that I was excited that I had found this moms club to join. The moms club sounded fun and since I was planning on being a SAHMILF for at least a year (ha! it’s going on three years now!) I figured it would be a good way to m...

I have about 4 ideas for blog posts floating around in my head, but I swear being pregnant makes me completely unmotivated to write. Maybe it is just the exhaustion, but I swear the pregnancy hormones also completely erase my wit and creativity. So much for my chronicling every detail about this pre...

I don't know who I was kidding with all that "I might not find out the gender" talk. Puhleeze! I am way too impatient for that! As soon as the ultrasound tech said, "So, do you guys want to know the gen..." I said, "YES!" And the baby must have been ready to give up the goods too because as soon as...

Holy guacamole, I can't believe I am already 19 weeks pregnant! That is like half way there! I have been feeling pretty good, only a little bit of morning sickness every evening. It is so much milder than what it was for the first 13 weeks that I feel grateful for that. I have been feeling little ...

I had such grand plans for journaling this pregnancy through my blog, such high hopes. I was envious of other women who blogged throughout their pregnancies and I wished I had such a wonderful record of my pregnancy with TJ. When I found out I was pregnant with number two, I was so happy that I had ...

The kind people at Growing Tree Toys , a retailer of educational toys, recently sent me a toy to review. I had seen Manhattan Toy's Dress Up Pirate before and considered buying one for my nephew when he was a little younger, so I was thrilled to get one for TJ to try out. I could barely get the box...
