Tryouts are tomorrow. Which means (tryouts) I am spending today (tryouts!) attempting to not (tryouts!!!) think about them (tryouts!!!!!)… unsuccessfully. In all my almost-thirty-five years, I’m pretty darn sure I have never wanted anything this badly. Not even that first My Little Pony. Wish me luck! Listening: The Black Keys UPDATE: I’m serious. Wish. Me. [...]
Last week I got a cold followed by the flu+fever followed by the most sore throat in the history of the world followed by pink eye followed by a sinus infection. Last week I was supposed to be enjoying Harrison being home all week while his school was closed before the “school year” started. Last week [...]
I played for two teams for our last scrimmage of the season – the T-Birds and the Hawaiian Punchers. With the help of Sweethurt’s “magic tape” (Kinesio Tape) the knee held up and all was great – THANK YOU Sweethurt – if you happen to read this – I still owe you a drink!!! There [...]
About a thousand years ago I hyper-extended my knee in softball while running back to first base to avoid being thrown out by the pitcher. The meniscus cartilage was torn as was the ACL. I got a brace and stayed off it for a bit. Then I went to college where late-nights and a beer-drinking [...]
Saturday night found us at Bonnie’s house two-year-old-heaven for her husband, Josh’s birthday. Bonnie’s friend Mollie is another oh-so-talented photographer who took some totally covert shots of us enjoying our evening. Thank you Bonnie for the great night and Mollie for the great photos. Listening: The Hold Steady
8:10am: No tears. Just an “OK – See ya mommy! Love ya!” as he rode away on his daddy’s bike. *** Now, on to more pressing matters. I need you to go to BlaseDesign.com and vote! Help me here people! This is SERIOUS!!! Listening: Watch Out For Rockets
When Auntie Kylies and I went to pick H up from school yesterday, we tentatively waited in the entry looking for him. He turned the corner to look outside and caught eyes with me from across the room. He was confused for a split second… then I could physically feel the relief and joy radiating [...]
I sent my kid off to preschool today to be raised by complete and total strangers. We have been talking about school… about how AWESOME it is… how there will be KIDS there! and GIRLS there! and you’ll get to have a nap with all the other kids… and there will be lunch – with [...]
Harrison met a new girl today. “Lucy. Has brown hair. Went in tunnel witha me.” Apparently Harrison spent some time in the tunnel and on the turtle at the park with Lucy. Stroking her hair and talking in a partially-coherent 2-year old language – according to Chelsea. Chelsea also reported that while H was flirting [...]
Bonnie rushed through the editing of our gallery. They turned out good despite the challenging circumstances – South Congress, 7pm, balloons = distracted, tired kid. The ultimate success of the evening is a direct result of Harrison getting his first ice cream cone – an entire adult-sized cone. Which he ate all of. And then [...]
