Wanna guess who the first was

to require sutures? Go ahead, and I'll tell you the story :)


A lovely Sunday morning. Zoe decided she should take a shower WITH me. I've already notified Jeff that the more this happens the less shaving happens. Out of the shower, Zoe figures all the mommy talk about drying off first is over-rated and take off. Splat.

I sit down with her and see the blood. Then I see the gaping wound on her chin. Now, in Jeff's defense, he had just woken up and had taken Nyquil the night before. Jeff squats down to look, then stands up and nearly passes out. Hmmm. Mental note for the next 16 years of child accidents.

This is not my first time at the rodeo, and although I am sure we need some kind of closure to happen, I am not going to Urgent Care in a towel. So I plunk Zoe down in the living room with a towel and the TV and go to get dressed, brush my teeth and dry my hair. This is 7 minutes well spent for me. I did put on the dirty clothes on the closet floor, because the t-shirt was black and I will be toting a bloody child around.

Thanks to the highly tattooed man with the go-tee for the quick check-in. $100, a tube of glue and some steri-strips and we are set. Excellent mother I am, I tried to get a good photo of it. But my subject was not exactly cooperative.




Someone has been helping me pack


Hmmm. Who could it be?

What my camera does while I'm not looking

I went to upload photos from my camera and discovered that I had a staggering 256 photos to upload. What could be hidden in there you ask?

Someone has been using my camera. And it's not me.
Is that GraveDigger?!
The clues are unfolding...
Ah yes, a little blue eyed boy with a bad case of the blepheritis.

Look for Chapter 2 of the Robert Chronicles later this week.

Happy Day

It was not the best mommy night last night. Lots of getting up, wet diapers, wet undies etc. Combined with the 5a wake-up, I was leaning a little to the grumpy side. Jeff claims he doesn't feel well and I'm pretty sure he thinks he has blepharitis (pronounced blufferitis, this is another story for later.)

Robert was singing LOUDLY bright and early this morning about butts, undies and jelly doughnuts. (The jelly doughnuts may be my fault. One day he blurted it out and I said, "That's an okay word to use!" At least it was better than stupid, the word of the month on every single cartoon on TV it seems.)

Then I believe Robert attempted to 'moon' daddy, all while screaming, "Daddy! Do you see my BUTT!!!???" Little boys, they are such a joy.

Jeff responded, "WHAT are you doing that for Robert?!"

Robert's response... "It's Happy Butt Day."

Here's a Happy Butt Day to all...
