I don't know why they don't teach this real life birth control in schools, but I promise if they explain to kids of having-sex-for-the-first-time age that this is the shit you'll have to deal with in another 11-15 years they probably will abstain or at least make sure they actually use birth control. Nothing is worse that waking up, turning on the coffee maker and
Last week my daughter had to have 5 teeth removed. Apparently there is a little crowding going on and because she won't let her baby teeth fall out we had to have some of them removed. This is a video of the nurse (who was wonderful) prepping her for the surgery. Because Maddie is a little nervous about needles we decided that a little laughing
Last night my son graduated from high school. Not only did he graduate but he graduated Cum Laude and with IB honors, and he has been accepted to one of the top science engineering schools in the country. I'm extremely proud of him. He has been an easy child to raise which is good because I didn't always do the right thing when it came
Image via Wikipedia There is this tree on the boulevard in front of my house. It is going to fall. The city doesn't think so but the general consensus in the neighborhood is that it will and when it does it will fall on my house. It has been ripping apart for the last couple of years and now the squirrels have made a home
Some of you might remember back in April I wrote about the tooth that would not come out. Eventually it did come out and we celebrated the event. She lost another tooth not too long after the first one and it was a complete non issue. She was a pro at losing teeth. And that was it for a while. Her two top teeth were
I really am, someone needs to call social services on me. I may not be as bad as the woman who made make-shift straight jackets out of pajama tops but only because I didn't think of it when they were little and now they are too big for me to wrestle. Today marks the 40 anniversary of Sesame Street. I remember watching Sesame Street when
My daughter lost her second tooth yesterday. It was not even remotely close to the drama we had with the first tooth in fact I didn't even know it was loose. She lost the tooth on her dad's watch but apparently she was inspired by her friend who just rips her loose teeth out. Daughter wedged a toothpick between her tooth and gum
It finally happened, after months and months of agony, the tooth finally let go and fell out. I'm so proud, I feel as if my daughter just graduated from medical school or passed the bar. I still can't believe it actually happened. I was beginning to think the tooth had regrown roots and was forever going to be part of her. It all happened so
A while back I mentioned that my daughter had a loose tooth. Her first loose tooth. I was somewhat emotional about the idea that my baby was growing up. Getting her real teeth was just a reminder to me that they don't stay young forever and I needed to enjoy what little time I had with her while she was young (before she
A couple of weeks ago my daughter had her birthday party for friends. Sadly most of them were sick and only two quests showed up. Don't feel too bad this was her third birthday celebration with cake and presents so it wasn't the let down it could have been. She invited two little girls whose moms are friends of mine. I went to high school
