Weaning is Winning

And Now We Are Two
Also, we came down with a cold about two hours after our birthday party. Let’s hope the Bean wasn’t just Typhoid Mary to his assembled friends. The Bean wanted to read this book, one of his favorites,...

On Discombobulation
The Bean is having another not-nap today. There is distinctly unrestful thumpery emanating from his room, but so far no crying for me to come. He’s not ready to give up his nap, that much is clear....

CD 1 Eve
Hi, internets. You awake? I am, and I’m blaming my new, thrilling PMS symptom of intractable insomnia on the day prior to my period’s arrival. I could be wrong: I’ve been thinking my period imminent...

Post-Ovulatory Items
Sshhh, internets, the Bean is sleeping. Finally. I should be in the other room, using this time to finish my semester grading, but the Bean is also sick, and if I move, nap over. So how’s about some...

Happy Hour Items
Greetings, internets, from a local trendy bar that turns out to be more than capable of turning out something “fun and non-alcoholic,” if requested. I thought this order might reassure the woman giving...
