About Me

Married a geek, then left a job in advertising to be a personal assistant to a toddler. The pay is... well, nonexistent, but the perks are simply priceless.

Umm, Kettle. Can we talk?

I'm a good mom. I'm a good mom. I'm a good mom. I'm a good mom.... So goes my mantra when entering any social situation.

My son hasn't been doing well in noisy, hectic social settings lately... like say, um... holiday parties or... ah, yes. THANKSGIVING. I'm pretty sure it's just a phase, but what isn't with toddlers...

In the meantime, we're just trying to deal...

But, why is that even in a house FULL of rowdy, screaming, crazy children, your child's screams and protests always seem to be the loudest?

And, why is it that those screams and protests always prompt a bevy of unsolicited advice from the parents of those rowdy, screaming, crazy children?

So tempted to say, "Oh, I'm sorry. I couldn't hear you over all this rowdy, screaming craziness. Someone should really control these children..."

But, I don't.

I am richly blessed with a loving family, a happy home, and full life.... not to mention a full belly!

I think it's a toddler thing...I am told they grow out of it. I say good luck to us both, Miss Peach is in the same boat:)

Lucky! We had to talk over a football game full blast. We didn't last long at all.
