Bring back the sun, dammit

♫ My name is stegosaurus
I’m a funny-looking dinosaur
On my back are many bony plates
and on my tail there’s more.
♫ Sometimes another dinosaur
will try to start a fight.
I don’t use fists; I use my tail.
It has four sharp, sharp spikes.
That’s the Stegosaurus song. It runs through my head constantly.
So anyway. I promised more today, regarding work. […]

That wasn’t too bad

OK. I survived. Owen survived. Iain survived. I think we can do this.
Work, it appears, is like riding a bike.
And now I’m tired. More tomorrow … I planned this really well. I have the day off.

I totally called it

He woke up hungry this morning at 3:45. I knew it.
Fortunately Iain took that one. Owen didn’t wake up until 6:11, which is about normal. We got up, hung out, watched the Smurfs [lord, I watch a lot of TV now], had a bottle and some coffee.
Now I’m just procrastinating.
It’s not that I […]

Just a bunch of boring random crap

All righty. Tomorrow I go back to work. I think I’m ready. I know the difference between the black arrow and the white arrow in InDesign.
I need to prepare some coffee and pack my lunch and figure out what the hell I’m going to wear. I guarantee it that tomorrow the boy will decide […]

Deluxe Muppet Show DVD on deck

Sayeth Pete: Disney is working on a season-by-season collection of The Muppet Show complete with UK skits, to be released sometime this year.
I’m so excited I can’t even stand it.
I can’t explain in mere words my juvenile obsession with anything Henson; suffice to say that The Boy is made to watch Sesame Street […]

Tabula Rasa

Owen turns three months old this week. The fourth trimester is over; he’s a big boy now.
He used to be this little lump of baby who was pretty oblivious to the world around him, when he wasn’t crying to be fed or changed or what have you. Now he’s drinking it all in: his […]

Timing is everything

So we are giving The Boy a bath last night, right? And he pees in the bath. And then we take him out and dry him off, and he spits up all over his naked self until it runs into his armpits. So we bathe him again, take him out and dry him off. Then […]

Prep/school

Happy Easter weekend. Iain’s spring break starts today, which is cool. We kept the boy home from school and are hanging out today as a family, eating bacon, drinking Mountain Dew and watching Kill Bill again. Well, we parents are watching it; Owen’s napping. He’s not old enough for Rated R yet. I’m trying to […]

The beautiful agony

Owen is dozing in his bouncy seat beside me, making these bizarre chirpy sleepsounds, like a bluebird dreaming.
I have yet to have a day where I drop him off at day care and manage not to cry. His teachers are so kind, though, and give me hugs before I leave. This morning, I stayed for […]
