So here you go… a random list of current happenings and hijinx….
- Thank you SO MUCH for your shared frustration and ideas/tips for the Scare Factor we have going on in the house. It’s nice to know I’m not alone. Though not so sure Madge reassured me with mentioning her 6 year old. Eeek now I’m scared
No… seriously, thank you. I guess they are scared of something til they get older then we are more scared of things for them (driving, dating, alcohol, drugs, etc). - Liam did FINE at preschool camp after I peeled him off my body and left him there. He was happy at pick up. But he still brings up constantly that “There are NO MOVIES today at camp, right Mama?” and I could FEEL his anxiety as we approached the door today. He didn’t relax until we walked in and he saw that there was no movie set up.
- I have boxed up and will ship out TODAY Bill’s box of random goodnesss from my Pay It Forward contest. Random but pretty sweet assortment. Including something I know Bill LURRRRVS.
- The baby attempted the stairs yesterday. The hardwood stairs. I was sitting next to him but it was still frightening and exciting at the same time. For both of us.
- Considering going to BlogHer next year. Anyone else? I will be starting a blog job soon and between that and the general interest in learning more, I am intrigued.
- I am spending WAY too much time on Facebook – FB to the FREAKS INSIDERS. I even have the app on my Blackberry now. WHAT is my problem? I’m addicted to connectivity!
- I got Liam a $1 mini-globe at Target Sunday and it is now one of his favorite toys. We talk constantly about countries and oceans. He wanted to bring it to bed last night but Daddy said no. I argued this morning that it was at least educational… and he echoed, “YEAH Daddy, it’s edge-u-ma-cational! And it’s a GLOBE! The EARTH!”
- Did I happen to mention that I think I am going to VEGAS in the fall? My hubs (who’s techblog had over 2000 hits for his iPhone post which made it a WordPress post of the day! GO DAN!) has a conference for a week and I may go out on Thursday-Sunday. Man I love Vegas! and sleeping! Though I suppose it’s kind of a haul to go just to sleep. But I can EAT too!
- Liam wants a Monster Truck birthday. And he’s obsessed with watching monster truck races on YouTube (which we also have on the AppleTV in the living room). Shea? He just ROCKS OUT to the heavy metal soundtracks to the clips. Like – METALLICA and The Zombies. LOVES IT!
- I received my Pops! Icy Treats cookbook yesterday. I bought some molds the day before at Target so I just need to settle in now and make something FABULOUS. Or something Liam will eat. Or BOTH.
Lastly I’ll leave you with a couple of new pics. Haven’t updated that in a while.
Liam has an impromptu nap. Can you say CRASH? HARD?
Peace out!

we got william an ‘odyssey’ globe for his 6th birthday and the kid is a geography whiz now. he knew his states/capitals from the puzzle, but now he knows a bunch of countries and cities of the world as well. That was great investment.
facebook has a new profile page coming out, but you probalby knew that being an insider and all
My guys used to do that, just pass out while playing. Cracked me up!
dude.. I am SO feeling Liam and the “nap of 100 winks”.
glad to see some pictures, though. and yay for your shout out in mediocre, and hooray for vegas, no matter HOW you get your ass there.
I’d say something about blogher, but you MIGHT mistake it for shit in cheerios (tends to run in my family???) so we’ll leave it at me going if you go. just, you know.. pardon me if I sit around and drink the whole time.
Can’t wait to see what kind of kid friendly pops you come up with
That book looks awesome – not sure if it’s something I’d actually follow through with – but a great idea! (I have like 2 healthy food for kids cookbooks and I swear lunches around here rotate between a frozen kid cuisene and PB&J – or McDonalds.) Sigh.
Also – where’s a link to your husband’s tech blog? I’d be interested in checking it out…
Mac – I did NOT know about the profile page…or rather I did but didn’t realize it was close to coming out… FUN!
Melissa – I rather like the face plant in the high chair tray… particularly if there is food about…
Carrie – I imagine the pic of Liam may resemble YOU tomorrow night after tuck in. Sorry to hear about your family shitting Cheerios… better than Cracklin Oat Bran.
Erin – I am MOST looking forward to the non-kid friendly pops. Rather the margarita ones look damn refreshing!
Cathy – in my blogroll – look for Techdulla. I warn though.. it’s very focused on network security – his niche… I often nod off to one of his stories.
Oh, I didn’t mean to scare you. Mostly Dave is now afraid of the theater when before he loved the movies, but I know it will pass — plus my kids have sensory issues.
also — I’m not sure anywhere is to far to drive for sleep and food…..
Facebook is a strange strange animal.
Madge – You didn’t REALLY scare me – more like made me feel like it’s FINE and he’ll eventually move on.
And I agree about nothing being too far for sleep and food. NOTHING!
Bill – Are you on it? Cause I’ll TOTALLY friend you. Cause I’m cool like that.
