Just another Monday

Over the last 5 days at home, Lucas was up at his usual early time, even as early as 5:45 am one morning! I guess it is no surprise that on his first day back to school after the Thanksgiving break he decided to sleep in. I eventually got him out at 6:40 am and he wasn't happy. No matter because I was on to other things. While I was hurrying to make breakfast for everyone so we could get out the door on time, Liam got into the Costco-sized black pepper container. Fortunately, he got it on his hands and over his head, but miraculously, not in his eyes. Poor baby, he had to endure an early morning head-dousing in the kitchen sink for his antics. Lucas ended up sneezing up a storm because he went in for a closer look to see what Liam did....Why are children (boys?) so?

And my day is only just begun?! Holy cow!

After Liam's morning nap, we made a quick trip to Costco (not for more black pepper mind you). Unfortunately, I hadn't realized Liam had pooped (in my defense, I checked before we left), so he ended up staying in his poopy diaper until we got back home...nice. Enough mishaps already! But I ended the day like it started.

During bathtime, Liam must have gotten 3 good sucks of a washrag he was playing with in the tub before I noticed there were....things floating in the tub. Yes, you know the things I mean. It was the first time he'd pooped in the tub and it would have to be today when I already demonstrated I wasn't getting his poop signals.....nice. ..sigh...

Now you know why this post is so short - I have a date with some bleach.

Best Groom's Response Ever!

20 Years ago "On behalf of my most beautiful wife, Sally and myself, I'd like to thank you all for being here today. Special thanks go to all those of you who have worked very hard to make and arrange this event and to those of you who have traveled very long and very far to be here today. You may have noticed, on the outside, Sally and I are very different and have different backgrounds; but on the inside, Sally and I are very alike. We can relate to how each other thinks and feels - which is why we are here today. So, on behalf of my wife Sally and myself, I would like to thank Allah for bringing two like souls together despite the outer appearances, and I would also like to thank both our families for accepting the new family member so kindly despite the outer differences." True then as it is now. The paper he is holding? My hubby's hand-written notes from 20 years ago: But you want wedding pictures right?  Outside the mosque, be...

Job Search2: Networking etiquette..

On which I have a few ideas.  As my husband keeps telling me, I won't get a job by spending hours in front of the computer submitting applications to online job postings.  The best use of any job-seeker's time is spent talking to friends and acquaintances and letting them know that you are looking for a job and what your skills and interests are. So here is what I found tricky about networking: How hard to push?  Working parents are busy, so if I asked a friend, who is a working parent, about a position I had seen at their company, do I ask a second time? How soon after? And what if there is another position - do I talk about that too?  If that friend is very enthusiastic about getting more information for me on a post then I hear nothing, what then?  Is it realistic to think they'll get back to me?  I find it difficult to broach the topic again.  I might ask a second time but for me there is no third time. What do I trade in return? In the net...

About those peeps

I've previously blogged about my state trying to find a group of girlfriends here in Austin , so I thought I'd provide an update on my quest to surround myself with peeps who are actually available to go to the neighbourhood coffee shop and sit down and chat.  Well, I had made friends with another mom whose son had just started at Lucas' new school.  We would try to have a chat, without children, once a week. Well, they decided to move to Utah after the first term.  Another mom I met through my mom's group who I would meet up separately with and actually have a conversation about what is going on in life, moved too. Not out of state, but far enough where I can't meet her for coffee either.  Hmmmmm. So, my plan has been to crash other peoples' socials.  I went to a playgroup I didn't belong to but was being hosted by a neighbour, that worked out just great!  A little social time, play time for Liam.  I invited another neighbour out to see a movie...on...
