The Great Pumpkin!

This is what happens when Amy, Halloween, and a pregnant belly collide.

 

Frogs and Snails and Puppy Dog Tails

Boys crack me up!  The other day I went over to my parent’s house and Adam was outside playing with a toy and dirt.  Then I noticed that he had about 5 worms that were “sliding down the slide.”  I figured he wouldn’t catch any life threatening disease so I told him to be gentle so [...]

My living room

A couple days ago a good friend advised me to paint the walls in my house so they were all the a fairly neutral color.  She thought it would help me rent the house faster.  I agreed that it was a good idea and then burst into tears at the thought of such an undertaking.  [...]

Put Me in, Coach!

A few weeks ago I whined about the anxiety I felt having a kid playing soccer.  I wanted him to actually TRY… which he wasn’t.

But now that Adam loves to play and wants to be on the field we have a new conflict: I still want Adam to try his hardest, but I don’t want him sidelined because he does.

Last [...]

That is a Garnish!

There is a movie with Meg Ryan and I think Tom Hanks where they are bickering at a party and the guy scoops up a big helping of caviar.  Meg Ryan’s character is scandalized.  Her eyes open wide and her jaw drops open before she hisses “THAT is a garnish!”  Hmm, I think the movie [...]

The Pink Team

Since Adam’s soccer ’season’ started I noticed this all-girls team with pink jerseys.  Also, their shin guards, socks, shoes, hair ties, everything – Pink!  Its like someone took a spatula and slathered them with frosting.

Adam’s team played the pink team today, and it turns out they also play very pink.  There was alot of crying when the ball [...]

Happy Birthday!

Today is Adam’s 4th birthday!  He can’t read this yet but I still feel compelled to wish him a happy birthday on this blog.

I can’t believe that 4 years ago he came into our lives.  On one hand it seems like it was just yesterday and on the other hand I don’t remember that there [...]

FYI

procrastination does not pay off.

I learned the hard way today when I opened the mail and received a letter from the State of Florida informing me that my driver’s license will be suspended on the 23rd if I don’t pay my traffic ticket.  In my defense, I HAD paid my traffic ticket, albeit late, over [...]

Gotta Find the Ballpark

I’m emailing with the TV on and just watched the Mets take game one over the Cards.  The camera kept panning to the crowd, and there were lots of kids with their parents having a blast.

About 18 months ago Erik and I took our tots to a Magic game.  Adam had a great time and for [...]

The Whistle Blower

I have no choice but to comment on this one.  Lets just hope I can do it without exposing myself for the nerd I am, or getting myself in trouble at work.  Ready?  Alright, here we go.

Some of you know that I hold advanced degrees in Psychology, and in Management, Information Systems (its a strange [...]
