But it looks as if Alex is turning in on himself southwards, veering straight into Mexico more directly than to us. At one time this land was mas o menos Mexico too, and the country line is just 10 miles away, so maybe it doesn’t make so much of a difference. Well, Alex certainly doesn’t [...]
It’s a Saturday morning at the office – possibly one of the most peaceful places to be right now. Coffee is brewing, round two that is (I cheated and bought some on the way in) and I’ve got wfuv playing in the background. Nice. Aldo is at home watching the world cup and taking care [...]
The good news is that I doggedly insisted on staying up, late even, to finish some of my favorite cupcakes. If I don’t make time for things these days, i.e. by cutting into sleep time, then there really is no time for everything. The bad news is that we all got sick and no one [...]
Rome Amando, turning nine months old on a hot humid june wednesday. Mostly unlike the dark rainy wednesday on which he entered the world, at home, with just his mother and father and dog fussing over his entry. When grandma and grandpa and tio and tia came just an hour or two later to meet [...]
Yeah right – all I can say is good luck. We tried everything from the syringe to the little cup, to mixing it with water, to mixing it with food, to holding him, to surprising him, to just going for it. Once Mijo realized what was going on he got fed up real fast – [...]
Day Care Week 1 – Was a success, so successful that Rome even came home with his first good sickness, a promised reward of entering day care. It started with a weekend-long fever, which I first notice at 5:10 on Friday evening, of course, just 10 minutes too late to call the Dr. Dr. Uncle [...]
The song goes “another Saturday night and I ain’t got nobody, I got some money cause I just got paid.” My story is the opposite – no money, just my honey, and mijo. That’s fine with me. Eight and a half months is pretty fun – baby is exploring and re-discovering everything yet now has [...]
A day to mark in the baby book, June 3, 2010. Family denied housing application because of baby. Apartment management says studio fine for two adults, too small to add 8 month old child. Mother of family who happens to be a lawyer sends demand letter – Hey guyz, sounds like a violation of the [...]
I don’t like Mommy Blogs. I like moms who blog, but I don’t like the get-rich-quick format, where the writing and storytelling is submerged under adverts, flashiness, and curb appeal. How do I know why you’re writing? Are you getting moula? Where’s my cut? What inspired you or your latest post? Is your post superficial? [...]
8 is turning out lovely. 7 started off with a tooth and an upset sleeping schedule at night. The tooth and the night upset upset the afternoon nap schedule, which upset grandma and me. Mijo also became mobile, but was highly dangerous still, because he would always fall over and none of us have carpet. [...]
