This Big Brother Thing, I Think It’ll Work Out
Noah really enjoyed having his cousin Maxim visit this weekend. Maxim is 16 months younger than Noah, and at 14 months, he’s just entering full blown toddlerhood.
Maxim is a super-chatty mimic, and loves to try to do what he saw Noah doing. Maxim attempting to jump was the funniest example of that — it mostly […]

Dear Motts Juice, I am Not an Idiot
Dear Motts Juice:
I am the 8 month pregnant mother of a 2.5 year old son, so I’m pretty sure I’m smack in the middle of your target market demographic. Also, since we watch a slightly embarrassing amount of PBS On Demand, we’ve seen your Motts for Tots ad approximately 800 times.

And You Know What ELSE?
Our home internet access has gone out 3x this week. I’ve had 5 phone calls with their customer service/tech support people. Some were helpful, if only temporarily, some sounded stoned out of their little minds, and some seemed like complete idiots, and some lied to me.

That Lady Was REALLY Naughty!
EDITED TO ADD: I started writing this last night around 9:30-10pm, and our Internet access went out. Thankfully, it’s finally back up!
Let me first say that I’m fine, Noah is fine, and I think Esmerelda Freugenspeigel is ok too. (Although I’m most nervous about her.)
On our way home from Noah’s day care, he and I […]

If Clint Eastwood Asked Me Today…
“Are you feeling lucky, punk? Well, are you?”
The answer is no.
I was planning to participate in Kirsten’s Blog the Recession project, and to whine again about being 8 months pregnant in my final weeks of work before my layoff is effective.
Tonight at dinner, it got worse.
Jill went out to the garage while we were getting […]
