Holy crap, the baby can play

Posted by Carrie on 24 Jul 2007 | Tagged as: Gabriel, Pictures and movies

I suggested to the boys that they might want to try playing Dominoes together; it’s Sam’s game, but I thought maybe they could invent a set of rules that would satisfy both their levels of ability, assuming Gabe would just want to make roads or something. Sam wasn’t interested, but Gabe squealed and […]

…Feh. Embedding the map doesn’t work for me. Tomorrow’s run is here. I’m getting a little bored with my current path, so I’m trying something new. It looks less wooded and pretty, though, so I don’t know whether I’ll stick with it.

‘M back

Stayed away from the net while reading Deathly Hallows. If I missed anything important, let me know!
Sam’s jaw is still paining him when he chews, so we stopped by the dentist yesterday. It was a different dentist than our usual Dr. Jenny; he was a very young man (maybe in his early twenties?) […]

Eavesdropping

In the kitchen right now:
GABE: “Want scrambled egg pizza!”
ERIC: “Scrambled eggs?”
GABE: “Scrambled egg pizza!”
ERIC: “You mean you want an omelet, like Mommy’s having?”
GABE: “Yeah! How you make it?”
ERIC: “Well, you use a little butter here first…”
GABE: “Want lettuce in it!”
ERIC: “Lettuce?”
ME (chiming in): “He ate mine with the arugula last time.”
ERIC: “Well, okay then.”
GABE: […]

Much better

Now, that’s more like it. I made myself eat more wisely yesterday, including beans at dinner in consideration for this morning’s run. Woke up this morning and went out and ran three miles, no problem. Feeling good now!
I get what you guys are saying about South Beach. To be fair to […]

South Beach + C25K = Fail

Posted by Carrie on 19 Jul 2007 | Tagged as: Fitness and Health, Food and drink

Actually, that’s not quite right. The South Beach isn’t really at fault here, at least according to Eric; the problem is that I just suck at dieting. I’m not a veggie fan, and when nothing “allowed” looks good to me, I just, er, don’t eat. I drink water. I don’t want […]

Huh

My pink blouse that gathers under my breasts doesn’t really make me look pregnant anymore.

Dang it

Gabe was awake this morning at 5 when my alarm went off to go running. I didn’t want to deal with the sobbing and the “Mama, Mama, I go wif yooooooooo!” and I was already feeling drained from not having starchy food in over a week now, so…no run this morning. But it’s […]

The icing on my cake

…which is quickly becoming a tiered cake of neverending stifled screams. Would you like to see the street outside my house right now?
  
I’m as thrilled as you might imagine. Our road was perfectly fine before they started all this. My next-door neighbor called City Hall to try to get an […]

Oh, for the love of…

Posted by Carrie on 17 Jul 2007 | Tagged as: Gabriel

Can somebody please tell me why the baby, now, is grabbing at the back of his neck, crying real tears, and sobbing, “Ow, ow, ow”? He was playing fine by himself, then started this up suddenly. I’d say it’s jealousy over Sam’s hospital trip last night (and, in fact, Gabe is requesting to […]
