Since this cold descended upon me within minutes of leaving work on Friday, I was sure the symptoms would magically disappear when I arrived at work this morning. Not surprisingly, I was wrong.
No, now comes the part where I go through an entire box of tissues in less than two hours. The part where I [...]

When you feel like I do the best medicine doesn’t come from a drugstore. It comes from Zaw’s Asian Food. Hot and sour soup is especially good for what ails you. Tell Sonny you’re sick when you order. And get a large container. It will get hotter while it sits in your fridge overnight. In [...]

In an effort to clear the cobwebs around here, I’m going to sweep everything into a big ol’ pile (not a steaming one, but a pile nonetheless). Since last we chatted, on Eleanor’s birthday, life has been nothing short of insane. My calendar is a mass of entries and so many colors I can’t see straight.
Here [...]

The Super Bowl seems like a good reason to get back to blogging. It was ugly and a nail-biter, but in typical Steeler fashion, they got the job done in the end. And as classy a guy as Mike Tomlin is, there was a fair bit of less than classy behavior on the field. James [...]

Eleanor seems to think I have forgotten she is not her brother. She’s been telling me this in a wide variety of ways since I was just a few weeks pregnant, but has decided to redouble her efforts tonight anyway, just in case. My two pregnancies could not have been more different. Oliver’s was easy [...]

Today was not the Christmas any of us had in mind. Oliver woke up miserable, with a temp over 104. Motrin brings it down but he just wanted to curl up on the couch with mum or dad and watch Cars and Finding Nemo. He isn’t interested in food and only will drink under protest. [...]

Abbreviated post tonight, but my entire body is aching, even the eyebrow that my spinning class couldn’t touch. It started at 3am when a very upset tummy reared its ugly head. There wasn’t any “action” but I slept fitfully the rest of the night. When I got up I was sure I had the plague [...]

Today wasn’t exactly all that and a bag of chips, but it was not without a few silly moments. Eleanor was clearly not herself when she got up. She insisted on bringing Dolly and her cow to breakfast and would not put them down under any circumstances. The few bites of waffle she ate came [...]

Eleanor is in week three of her cold. Now it’s the coughing. Still with the running nose. I think she may need to see the doc. Sleep is what is really suffering, hers and ours. If her throat is sore it isn’t due to the cold, but more likely all the screaming she is doing. [...]

Those four poops in the potty yesterday? All you experienced parents, just stop laughing at me right.now. You know a case of the squirts when you hear about it. Me? Not so much. When he kept saying, “I’m not feeling well” every time we went to the potty I foolishly thought he was just learning [...]
