I cut the crust off.

He doesn’t know what Star Wars is, but he’s over the moon for his lunch box.

It was his first day at a new school – a montessori pre-school. We’ve made sacrifices so he could go to this school.  He deserves this school.

Just to leave.

Tick tock tick tock

White rabbit has nothing on us

Let’s brush

pause pause

Let’s dress

pause cry pause cry

wrong socks

good socks

bad socks

Patience is a virtue -

I’m a jezebel

Tick tock tick tock

Throw the mouse at the clock

35 weeks – and my other kid may be scarred permanently.

I am a pod.

I am a big, walking, gestating pod.

I am 35 weeks pregnant and have finally reached the point of having weekly visits with my OB.  My three year old is dragged along with me for every visit.  Bam Bam knows the drill – blood pressure, weigh in, pee in a cup, listen to the heartbeat, and dose e doe out the door.

I cried a little behind my glasses.

I sat at the dining room table and stared into space.  It was silent – thickly silent.  I rapped my fingernails on the wood and sighed.  I looked longingly to the left… then the right… nothing… there was no one.

Resigned to be the best bumper I can.

In kiddie bowling they have bumpers along the sides of the lanes, to prevent the ball from going into the gutter.  It improves a child’s chances of knocking down some pins while they are still learning.  It keeps the ball going in the right direction.

The bumpers are guides.

This unborn child is making me a bad parent.

“It’s stuck, momma.”

“Does it feel stuck, baby?  Just push a little bit harder okay?”

“No,” he says quietly.

“Maybe the poop isn’t ready. Should we try again later?”

“No.”

*Mini cheese blintzes. I have to make those mini cheese blintzes.*

“It’s not coming, momma.”

I apologize in advance for my son sniffing your ass.

I heard my husband call from the other room,

“Did you wipe his booty good?”

“What kind of question is that? Of course I did.” I reply.

I hear him make a sniffing noise.  ”It stinks.”

I also hear my son giggling hysterically at this.

*sniff*  ”Pee-ew!” exclaims Hot Nerd.

If I weren’t a heathen, I would prepare for the Rapture like this:

First, let me say this to my Christian readers who believe the words of Harold Egbert Camping :

I will miss you.

I have truly loved having you as readers, and though I’m sure we’ve been on opposite sides of the fence at some point, I still wish you the best. Rapture. Ever.
