FYI parenting 411. The difference between parenting a teen vs a toddler is the length of your shower before guilt and worry prompts you to dry off.

Glow in the dark gluesticks

Are so cool! Darla fell asleep while playing with 2 of them. I melted a 3rd and put dots on her cubbies and lamp and light switch so when the lights are turned iut, she has something to look at and think about other than "it’s dark and I can’t see anything!".

It worked!
But it will probably only work tonight. She is smart and catches on to all of my nefarious plans to keep my bed all to myself.

I blame Susan C. I bought hand made soap from her and it smells delicious it also inspired Darla to ask if she can make some of her own.
We burned a hole though ought measuring cup and super heated the base…but look what we did!

Darla Comes to Town

This is the story of Darla’so birth

Homeless's avatarfatness

It had been a long week over here and a pretty hard one too -but Alphabet Boy and I had come to an understanding. . . especially about the Lindey ) factor. But the decision was that we would work on being friends and moving forward and using the next three weeks to prepare for the baby – gender as yet unknown.

We got exactly one day.

Friday morning I could not sleep not get comfortable. I closed out an e-mail to DC’s sister and tried laying on the heating pad and eventually decided to take a hot shower to relax the small of my back. I washed my hair, smelled like peppermint and put on PJ’s and crawled into bed but the pain was worse.

I was watching the clock since the time was projected on the wall. at 1:40 am the pain started and lasted a minute – I had another minute…
