I’m excellent. Pluckymama told me so. (I wonder who starts these things?)
Apparently, my job is now to pass the award on to ten other bloggers. That ain’t happening. I don’t want to be a spoilsport, but I’ve just been too busy to do much blog reading. So while blogs like Yoga gumbo and Them’s My [...]

In this episode: kid health, dog obedience and fat loss -
Maya is pretty much healed now, and stuffing everything not nailed down into her face to make up for those few days she could not eat properly. We now have an appointment at an orthodontist for the next step: braces. Ugh.
Asher doesn’t have an appointment [...]
so much to tell

but at least Maya is feeling better.
I haven’t written must about J’s celiac disease, mostly because it doesn’t much affect our lives. He had it when I met him and has had it since he was a baby. Of course, little was known about the disease back then and his parents were erroneously told he’d [...]

My darling husband has miraculously installed a wireless network our house. I took the dog for a walk and when I returned, there it was. Now I am online as I sit and sing lullabies. I can be online in the can, in the kitchen, while watching TV. Oh my. Children, what children? Tell them [...]
She lives!

Fortunately, Maya’s ability to heal with unbelievable speed seems to be trumping the need to torment me with her misery. That, and those Tylenol 2s. I feed her half every 4 hours like clock-work and except for whining about all the food she wishes she could eat, Maya is doing really well.
Moments after I posted [...]
Ouch

Maya is having dental surgery today, or as she insists we refer to it: dental treatment. The word ’surgery’ is not allowed, as it is suggestive of coming together of sharp things and flesh.
They have to put her out, pull three teeth, then cut holes in the roof of her mouth where her adult eye [...]

I have a cold. This is Asher’s fault. He is fine now. Boo has it too, which she was clearly hoping for. From the moment Asher got sick and therefore started getting preferential sick-person treatment, she would cough weakly now and then and say, “I think I’m sick. Do I have a fever?”
Boo is obsessed [...]
I have a headache – a migraine that is sending tendrils of pain down my neck and shoulders and even making my right ear throb – and am trying to get a column written. And Asher is in an unfortunately good mood and keeps demonstrating his bloody yoyo me. “Sometimes I wind it up like [...]
Okay, maybe he’s not completely perfect

My lovely doggy is being a bad boy. It started a couple of months ago, when I started walking with a nice woman and her nice Golden/Newfie mix, Max. We would find ourselves at the dog park at the same time a lot, and the dogs are both only a year old, so all seemed [...]

As I have mentioned, I walk at least an hour most days, missing at most one day a week. I don’t stroll, I march along. I’ve been doing this for months. Yay me.
I’ve lost no weight (I’m not even mentioning the FMS). I figured that since I ramped up the output, even if my input [...]
