Proof that it’s Monday

by Sharon on June 28, 2010

Monday

The cat has a a urinary tract infection, but the vet can’t see him until Wednesday.

Interesting factoid: Cat’s with urinary tract infections like to pee in your clean laundry basket.

I am now serving (in a involuntary capacity) as the go-between for my doctor’s office, our health insurance company, and the great state of New York, all in an attempt to unravel the tangled web of insurance codes and submissions that they haven’t been able to resolve.  Since January.

Interesting Factoid: the insurance billing and coding has absolutely nothing to do with logic, accounting, or the laws of physics.

My adorable two year old son decided that a jar of buttons would be much more interesting dumped all over the family room floor.  Twice.

Interesting Factoid: You can let a little boy run around the backyard for two hours totally nude, but he doesn’t need to pee until the moment he enters the house and sees a pile of bright shiny buttons on the living room floor.

How’s your day going?

UPDATE:  since I pressed “publish” I have signed for a package wearing the my pajamas (at 3:30 in the afternoon), the Little Man took off his diaper during his nap and then pooped in his crib (much to his horror), and the dog threw up on my shoe.

I kid you not.

Flashback to 1968

In 1968, my mother-in-law Mimzie used her sewing talents to make an adorable jumper for her second son. And forty two years later, the next generation tried it on for size. Now I just need to find a party for my dapper little boy in his light blue jumper (Although I might ask him to [...]

First Words

Thumbnail image for First Words June 14, 2010

For the last 26 months, my son has been the “strong, silent” type. His extensive vocabulary has included, in it’s entirety, the words… wastis?  (what’s this?) staaaay (stay – mostly directed to the dog, but sometimes to the crib, sink or sippy cup) theris! (there it is!) And like most moms I’ve wondered when he [...]

I Blinked

I didn’t mean too. Everyone warned me. But who knew that a year would go so fast?

Kinda like Stonehenge

June 1, 2010

I have a little mystery going on in my house… When I put my son down for a nap, things look like this… And when I go into get him, things look like this. Notice all the books? I’m assuming that he just reaches down and grabs the regular books from the basket and maneuvers [...]

Butt Paste (not mine, his)

June 1, 2010

When I was pregnant with the Little Man, I remember a girl friend of mine telling me that I had to buy some Butt Paste. At the time, I thought she was making a rude reference to the rather large size of my derriere. Fortunately, before I ran to my kitchen to drown my sorrows [...]

Help for a New Mama

May 14, 2010

We’ll I’m not exactly a NEW mama, but I’ve only been at it for 25 months, so I could use your help! What should I do about the fact that my Little Man has been putting spit balls up his nose? (In case you are wondering, this has been verified by the three spit balls [...]

Apple Blossoms

May 4, 2010

I saw them across our meadow, far away, two black dots against the expanse of spring. A tall, rugged man, holding the hand of a little boy who just turned two. Engrossed in conversation… talking about the trees and the frogs and the birds swooping past them. One, shaking off the pressures of life. The [...]
