Sucky is as Sucky does...
Poor Sucky. He was up all night last night, which of course means that I was up all night as well. I thought we'd gotten through his colickiness (word?) but alas, it struck again. I've heard this all passes by the fourth month. I'm hanging on by a very thin thread my friends, but hanging on...

Frenemies...and other mindless meanderings
It's uncanny really. Every time I go to do yoga, no matter the time or conditions or day Sucky wakes up screaming before I can even get through my first chair pose. I've decided that he hates my yoga mentor, Steve Ross. I think just the sound of Steve's voice wrenches the rage right from Sucky's...

On the possibility of cancer...
I've been here many times already so I suppose I knew it was coming. The doctor called today to tell me that my test results came back "abnormal"...again. It's been a while since I've had to entertain the idea of being diagnosed with cancer. I was supposed to undergo some testing last year when I...

Cleansing the Lens
It's amazing what you can accomplish once you've decided to start living your life. It's also amazing how much peace you can derive from finally untangling the purpose of your life from all that is extraneous and well, erroneous. Now I know why folks hang out in caves on a mountain top for years at...

My condo is haunted, I think.
So, I'm upstairs putting away clothes and gazing adoringly at Sucky gurgling in his bouncy chair when I hear a huge clamor downstairs. My heart nearly detached itself from my body as I froze and immediately started to run through the possibilities of what could have caused such a loud crash. Of...

"Sleep is for the weak"
That's the message scrawled across one of Sucky's onesies...a gift from his godmother at my baby shower. Sometimes it makes me laugh. Not so much when I'm on the tail-end of one of his 3 hour screaming fits that begin sharply at 2 am. In college we studied the function of sleep. There are a lot of...

Sunday night hea(v)diness...
I've been a little pensive today...moreso than usual I guess. I've been thinking about how having a child has changed so much of my life. People told me throughout my pregnancy "it'll change your life". No kidding. I've thought about how my perception of time has changed. Most days I feel as if I'm...

Jelly shoes and mock turtlenecks...
I might be showing my age here, but I was just on the phone with one of my girlfriends who was my dormmate in college and we were having a good laugh over fashions of the 80's and early 90's. A few of our favorites were: 1. jelly bracelets and shoes (can you imagine the profit margin on selling...

Mama's first big, proud moment!
Well, except for the birth of course. Sucky did the cutest, most unexpected thing last night! My husband was giving him a bottle (we breast and bottle feed so daddy can be part of the feeding process, too) when he came running upstairs with Sucky laying on a down pillow. "Look! Look what he's...

I just might touch some nerves with this post...
but I'd like to know what you think. I know what I think. My mother is a "new" Christian. She found God, I dunno, like six or seven years ago. I have to say no matter my personal beliefs toward "organized" religion, that she is a better person for it. Growing up my mother was very abusive. I say...
