bebe is having fun running the back of his hand across his mouth and then making “buh-buh-buh-buh” sounds with his mouth.
he also mastered the technique of “the squint” today. he started squinting while i was feeding him formula. freaked me out (silently, of course), i thought he was losing his sight or something! he saw my face and thought it was funny. little bugger.
i’m almost used to having biter biscuits all over my shirt, pants, hair…
whoa man, the backlash to motrin’s “trying too hard to be funny” web ad has instigated a major pouring of outrage on twitter, and this anger HAS GONE VIRAL in the blogosphere too!
if Obama passes the auto industry $50B bail, i will never again buy another american made car. (More …)
there are a lot of things i want to do, but i don’t have the mental energy to do them.
i have a list of mini-books (non-fiction, business, career) that i want to write, for example.
in the past, i had written a 4000 word book chapter over the course of 1 weekend.
now, i ruminate over bits and pieces of the same ideas for months, and i still can’t get my mind to coalesce enough to form a complete sentence for any of these book ideas.
yea, my baby’s smiling face and delighted gurgles are wonderful.
but sometimes motherhood really, really SUCKS.
aida tells me that i am going through the peak of bebe’s separation anxiety.
a friend told me on the phone yesterday that i need to expose bebe to diverse people, by going to playgrounds and letting him see other kids etc, and even allowing a few people i trust to hold him for 5 minutes to prove to him that he will be ok, even if he screams his head off (and yes, he will scream his head off, as sure as inflation will arrive over our great noble land).
what does this mean? what do i do?
this motherhood thing sucks. because it’s hard.
cleaned up the office today to better bebe-proof the place after he swiped down hubby’s mouse and with it, hubby’s full cup of coffee.
good thing the coffee and the cup missed bebe.
and that we bought the hoover carpet steam cleaner.
OMFG i have barely been able to do anything today bc bebe is super clingy and can’t play by himself!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
this is the first election since i could vote that i felt so passionate about the outcomes. in fact, the best word to describe how i have felt about the entire election and people’s behavior around it is, “Disgusted”.
i’m hiding the rest of this in case you don’t want to be subject to my lunatic rant. don’t irk yourself if you are on the political left. (More …)
ooh, i learned that my friend “see see” is pregnant!
unfortunately she seemed to have first trimester symptoms really bad, kinda like how i had ‘em. had to be on anti-nausea meds like i had to be when i was pregnant.
tomorrow bebe will be 11 months old. and then he’ll be a year old. he’s teething again, which means he drools more, is more sensitive (emotionally), and cries more. if he feels clingy and i put him down, he’ll cry. (More …)
hubby told me that i’m a good mom because even when i’m tired or frustrated, i don’t transfer it to bebe, and because of this bebe is such a happy baby.
i looked at bebe, who at the time was pulling on the high chair safety straps and standing up and bouncing in place, and got a bit teary eyed.
this is hilarious!
