Denver Trip Summary
As reported, the family has returned, intact, from our adventure to Colorado. The top of the line bullet points are that the girls earned an overall B+ for their behavior and S. and I have decided we’re not traveling with the girls again until they are both at least five. The flight out was mostly uneventful. C. was fussy for…
We’re Off
I forget if I’ve mentioned it, but tonight we head to Denver for a wedding and then a couple days in the mountains. It will be C.’s first trip on a plane, which of course presents all kinds of interesting scenarios. Fortunately, we’ll have two aunts and an honorary aunt sitting in the same aisle as us, so we’ll have…
Change
It’s Super Tuesday. Indulge me in a little politics. It seems trite to say that I’m throwing the immense weight of the blog behind the candidacy of Barack Obama simply because he is campaigning on a promise to bring change to this country. After all. doesn’t every candidate claim to support change of one kind or another? Isn’t it more…
At Last, A Turn For The Better
Things are finally getting better here. C. was sick again all night last night. I finally broke down and got sick. A rough morning for some of us, but I’m feeling almost normal again and C. was looking much better before her nap. M. went back to school and was her now-normal bossy self upon her return. Now if we can just keep…
The Hits Keep Coming
I was hoping for a laid back weekend. A rest from the sickness of last week. Surprise, surprise. (Warning: more puke talk ahead.) Saturday, M. was feeling a little better, although certainly not her normal self. She ate a little bit, but didn’t seem to be into the food that much. I went off to cover my basketball game. That…
Just Like Her Old Man
It’s a very sad day. M. was supposed to go to her first birthday party for a friend from school today. It is going to be at one of those places where they sell playground equipment, but rent it out so kids can go crazy inside on cold days like today. She was very excited. Then she started puking this…
Guilty
I like to say that music keeps me young. I’ve managed to stay in touch with what the cool indie kids are listening to despite the fact I’ll officially push into my late 30s this year. As my tastes have changed over the past four years, getting younger as I grow older, I’ve in turn pushed some of the mainstream…
Fun Things For A Cold Day
Two fun things. First, C. puked all over the couch this morning. Well, that’s not really fun for any of us, but if you think your day was bad, at least you didn’t have to clean that up. Second, Stephen Colbert is finally getting the recognition he deserves.<a href=”http://ap.google.com/article/ALeqM5gG6ETB-rL6LIKTh1J0P1cwwZV9UgD8U7ENMG0″>This is brilliant</a>.
Searching
If anyone knows how to get a 20-month-old to sleep through the night, we’re open to all suggestions. As if it wasn’t bad enough that C. still can’t master sleeping, and in fact has gotten worse over the last month, she’s come down with a mother of a cold that is making things even more fun at night.
Still My Favorite Ever
“If you live in Kansas City, you kind of have to be a KU fan.” George Brett, 1/14/08, ESPN. Thank goodness he married a KU alum! When I was in school and he came to a game, it was always a big deal, with the students pointing to where he was sitting and chanting his name. I wonder if the…
