Breastmilk =/= Miracle Drug
OK, maybe breastmilk isn’t so much a miracle drug.
This morning, when we got up, the rash on his face looked way worse, and it had spread further down The King’s chest and arms.
He’s also been eating even worse, barely managing 7 or 8 minutes before freaking out and refusing to eat any more, […]

Ad Hoc Non-Dairy Food Reviews
In the course of the last 10 days, I’ve tried 4 kinds of frozen non-dairy desert, 4 kinds of non-dairy cheese, and 5 kinds of non-dairy "milk." Here they are rated on a scale of 1-10, with comments. Of course these are my opinions only — your mileage may vary.
Frozen Deserts:Rice Dream - 6. I […]

Foul
I am in a foul mood.
I don’t know if it’s lack of sleep, lack of time alone, lack of privacy, post-partum depression, the feeling of being tethered to an often-shrieking small and helpless person, "legitimate" annoyance, the adoption problem, some insanity related to our mortgage that I haven’t blogged about (they erroneously have us listed […]

How’d That Happen?
I totally lost a day this week.
Worse, I don’t even know which one it was.
All I know is that I was totally convinced that yesterday was Wednesday, and today was Thursday, until Jill and I got into a discussion about the NCAA regional tourny that will be played at the Georgia Dome next […]

Best.Search.Result.Ever
OK, I shouldn’t make fun of this, I really shouldn’t. And the failure is no doubt caused by the religious right making all school sex education abstinance-based. And therefore you can’t even learn how to spell bodily functions and parts correctly, much less learn how they might be used or how to use them relatively […]
