Random Tidbits

C is *way* into kissing now.  He kisses everyone and everything constantly.  He kisses his bubba (big brother) while he’s asleep, kisses his toys, kisses his mommy and daddy…SO adorable!  And the little kissy noise he makes when he’s trying to get you to kiss him back is too much.  Cutest baby *ever* and he [...]

Pictures of the monster.

Posted by: Melissa W on: November 19, 2007

I remember looking for kidney stone pictures years ago when I had my first bout with them. I had a hard time finding any good ones…apparently it’s pretty common to google kidney stone pictures because I get a lot of hits here from people who are looking for them. So as a public [...]

Litho #3 a success?

Posted by: Melissa W on: November 18, 2007

As far as I know, anyway.  They said the stones fragmented well and I’ve been passing lots of gravel.  In significant pain…they blew my vein while trying to get the IV in and that left me with an achy arm, plus my back (where the shockwaves were directed) hurts pretty bad.  Not to mention the [...]

Lithotripsy #3, here I come.

Posted by: Melissa W on: November 15, 2007

I’ve been having a lot of stone pain and finally went to the doctor today so I could get a refill on my percocet.  They did an x-ray to see what we were dealing with and the 2 large stones that have been sitting in my left kidney have both fallen into the ureter.  Oops.  [...]

Christmas, toys, and paranoia.

Posted by: Melissa W on: November 13, 2007

Yep, I’m paranoid about the toys out there right now.  Absolutely terrified that my kids will end up with a toy that makes them sick or kills them.  Not just lead poisoning, but the danger of magnets, toys that contain a substance that turns into a date rape drug, and other things.  As a mom [...]

More writer’s strike…

For those who aren’t quite sure what this is all about, I found this video at Watch With Kristin and thought it was worth sharing.

Still a better mom than Britney.

Posted by: Melissa W on: November 8, 2007

Yesterday was a terrible day. It started out with finding out that J had an accident because he didn’t make it to the bathroom in time. I got him cleaned up and off to school, then came home and wrote my blog entry supporting the WGA between trying to distract C with some [...]

Current Events…the writer’s strike.

Posted by: Melissa W on: November 7, 2007

Here’s a little confession…I love TV. Now that we have one, I DVR everything I think I might like starting at the beginning of each season and though there are the inevitable drop outs from either cancellation or me deciding I’m no longer interested, I usually add several new shows to my “season pass.” [...]

Protected: Halloween pictures, as promised.

A new feature…real W family conversations!

Posted by: Melissa W on: November 1, 2007

We just had this discussion:
(Picture me, laying on the couch with a pitiful and pained expression…I am really feeling *very* bad and fully prepared to take advantage of that.)
M: Would you get me a drink?
D gets up and heads into the kitchen where he discovers we’re out of lemonade, my normal drink of choice at [...]


W Family Players

D is the dad, the husband, and the breadwinner. All around nice guy and good at pretty much everything he does. It's disgusting, really. But makes him worth keeping around.

M is the mom, the wife, and the hopeless housekeeper. At least the kids' heads haven't fallen off yet. Beyond that, she sucks at the "stay at home" thing. Oh, and she's the blogger.

J is the big boy. Born October 11 2002, he is in kindergarten and loves it. Now 6 years old, and too smart for his own good. Talks a lot but extremely entertaining.

C is the little boy. Born June 26, 2006, he went through a lot in his first year but is doing just fine now. The only blond in the family, so his paternity is routinely questioned by rude strangers.

V is our baby girl. She is brand new and arrived in January 2009. So far everything is going well. We're thrilled to have added the final piece to our family puzzle. And yes, she WILL be the final piece!
