September 2008 - Pittsburgh Mom

Sort By: Most Recent | Most Viewed | Most Commented

  • I love you too, now let go of my leg

    Ahhh, we've entered that lovely stage of complete and total inability to separate from mom. My little Ben, the crazy, wild man who has never wanted to be held or cuddled. The one that can't sit still long enough to watch two seconds of television...

  • Choosing between work and family

    My children spent the weekend with a new friend. Mr. Stomach Flu. I spent the weekend changing clothes, giving baths, doing laundry, giving medicine to conquer fevers, and doing lots and lots of cuddling and rocking and holding and shhhhhh-ing. Even Ben...

  • Unrequited love

    Matthew has a crush. I'm not sure it's his first and it certainly won't be his last but it's breaking his heart and mine. He is starstruck by an older kid in our neighborhood. Unfortunately the boy is only interested in Matthew when there's...

  • Supersize me

    I have a vent. In a world where a 32-ounce drink is considered a medium (seriously, is that out of control or what?) why, oh why, have they taken away my laundry detergent? According to the sign of the times, my laundry detergent should be coming in barrels...

  • Happy Birthday to me!

    Today is my 36th birthday. I'm not too thrilled about it, honestly. I've never had a problem with birthdays before, and 35 was great. But 36, I dunno, it's like I've rounded the top of the hill and I'm barreling full speed to 40. And...

  • "If I could freeze time, I'd freeze today"

    That's what I said to my husband last night. Then I said "I think I might puke" As you may have guessed, we spent the day at Kennywood yesterday. My parents made a very spur of the minute trip to Pittsburgh (they live about 5 hours away...

  • Do we ever really grow up?

    I thought seventh grade was over with. The constant worrying about self esteem, the fear that people are talking about you, the gut wrenching lunchroom seat locating. I attended a conference last week and felt just like I was in seventh grade all over...

  • Power to the people. Or not.

    We lost power last night around 8 p.m. Allegheny power says it won’t be back until….tomorrow night at 8 p.m. How on earth I’m going to feed and entertain two toddlers in the dark is yet to be determined. How do you explain to a three...

  • Grandma's purse

    I’m turning into my grandmother. My mom liked to tell the story of picking my grandmother up from the airport once for a visit (she lived in Florida). They stopped at the Ground Round restaurant (back when they had the free peanuts). My grandmother...

  • I need a day

    I need a day My life is so busy these days it’s getting away from me. Before I know it it’s 11 p.m. and I’m left feeling like I have a million more things to do. The problem is that most of the “bigger” projects get forgotten...

  • I luv u u r sexy

    My husband and I, like most busy couples with kids and jobs and a house and other committments, barely see each other. Sure, we’re in the same physical space often, but we rarely get time to really talk, to connect, to flirt or anything else remotely...

  • Unattended toddler

    Just a lesson. Those two words should never be used in the same sentence. Never. Yes, that would be an entire bag of tortilla chips and an entire 100 feet roll of measuring tape. And this occured in about three seconds flat while I was cooking dinner...

  • I can't make this stuff up

    Just in case you ever thought I was embellishing for comic purposes, I thought I'd share a a couple of photos: This is how we left the house on Friday (not the Giraffe Boots , those are big brother's, but the froggie boots are just as stylish...

  • His will is stronger than mine

    I've often talked about my independant one, Ben. He's the little brother and must do everything his big brother does. He's done everything (short of talking) on the early side. He stopped nursing at 6 months, just wanted no part of it anymore...

  • TV debut

    I had the pleasure last night of being a guest on Jon Delano's politics web chat at KDKA. The chat lasted an hour and included another PittsburghMom user! Karen (DoulaKaren) and I served as the "liberal" and "moderate" and Steve...
