Month: January 2009

Tired, still.   Stop.   Add an ear infection to Cooper’s roster; Giant Pharmacy running promotion for free antibiotics for the month of January; Pharmacist joked today that our family is making them broke;  Ha. Ha ha ha, can I punch you even if you’re wearing a lab coat?   Stop. Kenny finally sick, too.…

I am turning into a zombie.   Between holding Cooper much of the day and rocking him to sleep for naps (I can’t bear to make him cry when it drives him into a coughing fit!), I have also been sleeping in the room with him in Kenny’s bed so that I can listen to…

Yes, it’s snowing out, but our house-bound state started before a single flake hit the ground. Cooper woke up a little punky on Sunday and started coughing… again.   The kid had a cough for 10 weeks straight, but the past week he had been completely well, so when the cough started again, I did…

As promised, here are the “runner-up” recipes for the Super Bowl recipe contest! from Kirsten: Chicken Enchilada Casserole 1 rotisserie chicken shredder (or 4-5 left over chicken breasts, shredded) 2 can cream of chicken soup 2 cans rotel tomatoes (mild or hot depending on your taste) We like hot! 4-5 cups shredded cheese 8 corn…

Thank you all who entered into The Ultimate Pepsi Super Bowl Party contest!   I was flooded with fun (and some extremely creative!) recipes for Super Bowl party snacks.   If only I had some runner-up prizes!   From Chicken Enchilada casseroles (super-yum!) to molten chocolate cakes, and a slew of variations on spinach-artichoke dips,…

Somewhere in the last month or so, Kenny has hit that pre-schooler phase of rhyming everything he says.   “Come on, Mom-dom!   Make me a pancake-spancake!   I want some juice-dooce! Let’s play a game-name-dame-same!” It is maddening. Today for a full hour after Cooper had a record-winning spit-up, he chanted, “Vomit-Gromit” and “Darn-it-barn-it”…

I mentioned a few posts back that we are contemplating a move to the historic district of the city near us.   Indeed – we’ve put a contract on a house, which was accepted, and we were waiting on the home inspection to move forward.   Unfortunately, the inspection turned up a few surprises.  …

I mentioned in the last post that we had a pipe burst while we were away on our 24 hour jaunt.   After nearly a day without water, we were anxiously awaiting the plumber (who was scheduled to arrive sometime between 8 and 5.   Why can’t I schedule my day like that??), Kenny most…

This weekend we headed out for a very quick and slightly insane road trip.   We drove three and a half hours with three other families (and thirteen kids total, ages 6 months to 11) to a family waterpark and theme hotel for a day of swimming and a night of sitting around the lodge…

We have had much going on here in our little family this week.   The biggest hurrah has been that Casey started his new job!   For those readers who have been with me since this fall, you know that we moved to Atlanta for a new job, but came back shortly thereafter.   It’s…
