How is it that my son’s not even in daycare and he’s sick again? This time, it’s croup. His cough
sounds like a dying sea lion. I’m starting to think this “Mommies and Movers”
yoga class was a bad idea. (I’m full of those this week, apparently.) I wish there
was a way to socialize our children – and build their immune systems – without them
getting sick every other week.
Now if you’ll excuse me, I’m on snot patrol.
Here are the “R’s.”
Recap
In Monday’s QWA, we had a super ugly visitor.
On Tuesday, I told you about a little home improvement
project we have going on and how that led to a really bad idea.
In this week’s Not-So-Wordy Wednesday, you saw a short video
of Quinn dancing to the theme song for Big Bang Theory.
Referral
This week’s super awesome blogger referral is Kara from Casa DeFrias. I know Kara in
real life, and I am a better person for knowing her. We worked together before I became a SAHM, and she is one
of the people I miss most from that job.
Kara is the epitome of strength in my eyes. She is a brave
blogger who bares her soul about being a cancer survivor.(Three times!) She shares her decision to salvage her eggs and her experience with IVF. She
takes her readers along on her journey to find a surrogate mother. And, most recently, Kara opened up about
her divorce and the custody battle over the embryos.
Whoa.
I’ll just pause right here and let you catch your breath for
a sec... You good? Okay.
Even after all of that, Kara is the most positive person you’ll
ever meet. She’s clever, fun and loving. She finds joy and shares it with the
world. Plus, she is hilarious. I
think I’ve liked every one of her status updates on Facebook. (Sorry if that’s
creepy, Kara. *sheepish*)
Pop by Casa DeFrias this weekend. I promise you will laugh,
cry, get all mad, and then laugh some more. You might even be inspired to take
on your biggest obstacle.
(PS: Kara is also a senior editor over at Tea with Lemon and the author of California Kara. Just in case you
need more of her. Which you will.)
(PSS: Fuck cancer.)
Rewind
I’m getting allergy tests done soon, so I have to be off my beloved
Allegra and Singulair until the appointment. And you know what that means. Yep,
I turn into Sloth from Goonies. Funny thing, that post
has had over 30,000 page views, which is a shit-ton of page views for this
little ol’ blog. (Seriously, I’m lucky if I hit two hundred views on a post.)
According to the Blogger stats (that I only sort of understand), a bunch of
people in the U.K. keep Googling “Sloth” and “Goonies” and happening upon my
post. Hey, whatever works, right?
Tune in next week!
You come up with a whole bunch of ideas for new inventions
when you become a mom for the first time. Next week, I’ll share a few of mine,
and you can tell me if they’re dumb or ingenious.
Have a great weekend, friends!
