  • The "fruit bowl"

    I have a problem. I fill things with crap. Anything that stays still long enough and has any semblance of a bowl/box/drawer shape will most certainly end up filled with crap. My house LOOKS neat. When you walk in the door you would think I'm a neat...

  • Did you know - Palau

    Have you, like me, ever said to yourself "Where the hell is Palau and when did it become a state?" I accidentally had my wedding program special paper sent to Palau instead of PA. Luckily the company had a "no shipping to Palau" policy...

  • My cheatin' heart

    I'm a cheater. I cheated on my hairdresser today. I feel awful. I had an appointment scheduled next week but I am getting too busy with meetings to probably keep the appointment, and my hair is driving me nusto now. I haven't had a good hair day...
  • Getting fired

    Today was my last day home with the kids before I am back to work. I wanted to something fun with them, something different. And Matthew's been great with the potty, so I promised him something "special". Are you thinking what I'm thinking...

  • The pendulum swings

    After wring my "so sick of summer" post yesterday I had a completely opposite day today. I spent the day at work. I had two one-hour meetings and one five-hour meeting. No, I'm not kidding. I wish I was kidding. I spent the day missing my...

  • So over it

    Summer that is. I've had such a fantastic summer with the boys. I really made the most out of my time off. We did not stay home even one single day. Every day by about 10 a.m. my kids are "done" with the house and start to "get up each...

  • Making time for marriage

    I had a hot date last night. With my dear husband. It was two hours of absolute relaxation and bliss. We had a very yummy adult (Thai) dinner and followed it with a scoop at Baskin Robbins. This date did not come easy. I had been trying for three weeks...

  • Fairy wings and giraffe boots

    We visited Soergels in Wexford today (I MAY have been there to pick up gift cards for our " Fall Favorites contest" but I'm not saying). As the kids were playing in the water, another group of moms came up with their kids to play. I noticed...

  • So happy I could pee

    Never in my life did I think I'd be so happy about pee. Really. Pee. Gross, right? But when you're potty training a little one and he/she finally goes in the potty it's like the happiest moment of your life. It's right up there with saying...

  • Zoofari - Join me!

    PittsburghMom is so pleased to be co-sponsoring Zoofari at the Pittsburgh Zoo the past two weeks. This weekend we will have a booth set up (near entrance, across from the Merry-go-round) and I'll be there! I hope that some of you can come and introduce...

  • Did you know

    I used to post a weekly "Did you know" post to another journal I kept online. I always enjoyed it so I thought I'd resurrect it here. Tonight's installment brings you two interesting facts 1. Did you know that if you turn in your toy...
  • Substitutions

    I was cleaning out my recipe file (that is, the thing hanging on the side of the fridge that has 327 menus and 445 recipes smashed into it) and noticed that a lot had "may substitute xx for xxx". I am having a rough mommy night so I thought...

  • A healthy baby

    No, not mine. I'm not pregnant. If I were, the title of this post would be filled with a whole bunch of profanities and OMG's :) I've written briefly about this before, but it's come to light again and I wanted to chat about it again....

  • The trifecta of bad behavior

    My Ben. My sweet little baby boy. He is a monster. He's totally getting out of control. I need to nip it in the bud, fast. If that's even possible. Remember when I posted that there are three levels of bad behavior that come out about the year...
