Tide

I usually buy the no-name, on sale for $3.99 detergent for our laundering needs. I had a really good coupon for Tide and figured, why the hell not. And I'm in heaven.

I am going to try to make my own detergent from scratch in the next few weeks. We'll see if it's worth it or not. If anyone has any tips, I'm open.

Shooting star

I wish time would speed up so we could try for another baby. And I wish everything that goes along with that wasn't complicated.

Narcotics-ache

In two weeks I head back downtown to hopefully get some answers to the pain I've been having. The doctor is thinking cysts or endometriosis. Either way, I hope they find something to relieve that pain. It's awful.

In the meantime, because I can't take any hormonal treatments or contraceptives due to Factor V Leiden. So the doctor gave me a heaping dose of vicodin, which not only doesn't work at all - makes me so sick to my stomach.

So please ovaries - get your act together.

The poop incident


Today, Sadie decided to take off her pants, poop in her diaper, take off her diaper and subsequently hide her poop all throughout her bedroom. In the three-to-five minutes it took me to empty the dishwasher, she made a mess. A cute mess, however, as after hearing stories from my other "mommy friends" it could have been much worse.

Sadie and books

Now that Mammers is getting on in her old age - instead of wanting me to read a book as fast as the Matchbox Cars guy talks - she actually lets me "read" them to her. She loves books and will sit on the floor for 20 minutes at a time reading to herself. It's so cute.

boo hoo

i simply do not think that some people appreciate how good they have it. and in doing so, they have to almost make things up that make life seem so much more difficult. cry me a river and get over yourself.
