0 | 0 | I am in my 30's, married and have recently, finally, become a mama. I am a smug mama, because I have two wonderful, healthy, happy, and secure children and I feel that this comes from stellar parenting:). Join me as I post about my life and the joys of being the mama! 2010 has been full of wonderful memories and full o... |
0 | 1 | breastmilk was Smug - Baby's best medicine (did I post on here about her diaper rash? She had scratched herself so deeply that it got infected and was starting to ooze puss. I thought that perhaps I should take her to the doctor, but it was the Christmas holiday and everything was closed. I decided to put some breastmi... |
0 | 2 | stairs. What woke her was sitting her seat down on the floor. She was awake and played until 11: 30!! I am constantly annoyed by holiday ads. The TV commercials that tell us that we need to purchase several expensive and extravagant items in order to show our loved ones that we love them. Now, as much as I hate that we... |

I was laughing with the cashier who carded me for some wine (I'm 34 so that never happens anymore). I was / am really happy. Really excited for all the cooking that I need to do today and prepar... |
0 | 4 | every time but every now and then she will give in and point to her nose or mine or smug - sister's. She waves and says "hi" to people all the time now. Its not a bending finger wave, more like a parade wave and she waves at everyone. People in the retirement community with Gramps lives, people in the grocery store, th... |

Never mind that the bathroom can was overflowing or that the cans in our bedroom and Smug - Baby's bedroom were getting full! Beyond this, he had fully taken apart the free - standing cabinet in the kitche... |
0 | 6 | no idea why he was there, how he got there or anything. He was full of various drugs including a huge dose of insulin which had put him in a comma. That could easily have been or even still could be my brother. We, his family, have no idea where he spends his time, who with, nothing! I miss my brother. I miss that litt... |
0 | 7 | I figured she would wake up while I was snapping pictures, but she slept. I spent some quality time this weekend worrying about how to pay for Christmas. I worried about the gifts already purchased and the gifts still left to purchase. I worried about the cost of the food that would be made, the cost of stamps for Chri... |
0 | 8 | I wanted and my baby still had problems and I wrestle with the "what if's" all the time. What if I hadn't had my membranes swept? What if I had done the home birth? Perhaps the midwife would have handled the cord issue better, perhaps Smug - Baby would have nursed right after birth and aspirated breast milk which may h... |
0 | 9 | herself up on it and talking up a storm to her little cousin. Then, Smug - Niece began to be unhappy confined, so I unzipped the cover to find a red ball, a beaded necklace and a jar of peanut butter all hiding in the confines of the car seat with the baby. I figured out that Smug - Baby had been showing her cousin all... |
0 | 10 | Christmas tree and we spent the day decorating the house and tree. When I got back from my evening visit with Gramps, the whole house was lit up and looking lovey! Smug - Baby liked the tree OK, but didn't try to pull herself up on it or anything. I did stop decorating it about two feet from the bottom, so she would no... |
0 | 11 | protect our children from growing up thinking that it's OK to treat others badly! I had dinner with someone last night who has recently had his heart broken. He is dealing, but conflicted and it sounds like the woman is conflicted as well. They still talk and are trying to do the friend thing, but it is hard on him to ... |
0 | 12 | having the family I always wanted, I started to enjoy my life, myself and worked on making myself happy and strong and whole. By the time I met my husband, I was happy with myself and totally at peace in my life. I was perfect and complete and he was just gravy on this great life I had created. I know now that I was ge... |
1 | 0 | It strikes me that I never posted the link to Kira, a student film I worked on last year. It certainly has its flaws, but I am very proud of the work done by everyone involve in the project. This was nearly a full time job for many people involved, and Kira went from initial concept to finished project in just nine mon... |
1 | 1 | dating Elsie, but even most of that was secondhand info. On the whole, Brian seemed like a mostly ok guy. Elsie seemed to enjoy being around him, so I was happy for her. Honestly, though, I didn't pay that much attention to Elsie and Brian's relationship. I had other things on my mind at the time. I had other friends, ... |
1 | 2 | , but it got him enough money to keep up rent on his apartment, keep food on the table, and keep the cable TV coming in. I think that's all he did after a day on his feet: flop down in the easy chair and zone out to SportsCenter. But again, there wasn't anything inherently wrong about that. I think he wasn't really sur... |
1 | 3 | was mostly just because my parents were. I never gave much thought to it one way or the other. I just was. So how to respond to a statement like that? I don't really know why that's stuck with me, but it has. Maybe it's because it has stuck with Elsie, even though I don't think she knows it. If you were to have asked h... |

I didn't have a clue what I was going to do once school was through. I lasted about a week at home before I realized I couldn't stand sitting around under my paren... |
1 | 5 | the two of us. The first couple of times we were out I had tried to make small talk. Maybe I was trying to talk enough for the both of us, but whatever I said only ever seemed empty. No matter how much I jabbered, Elsie never responded past a small nod to acknowledge that she had heard me, so I soon embraced the peacef... |
1 | 6 | body still shook, but she regained enough control to talk. "Last week, I was sitting at home after trying to call my mom again. She never picked up in the 14 times I tried." Another sob racked her breath. "I tried to call you, but I guess you were at work. I've been teetering on the edge of control for so long, and I j... |

She followed him but wondered to herself if that's how ghost travel - by walking. She followed him quite closely but kept a distance so that JaeJoong wouldn't know that he had been followed. She felt l... |
2 | 5 | You are a threat. You're not supposed to know anything. But, I stayed for you. "JaeJoong said, stopping now and then to check that his words are clear to Hye." I have to do this every night. It drains my energy. I'm always with you during the day. But, I need to rest too, so I didn't appear in front of you. "" No, not ... |

You seemed to know that I was watching you but you didn't bothered with me. You had times of happiness with your lover then. But there was one d... |
2 | 9 | walk behind Hye and Hye had turned back several times to urge him to walk beside her but he ignored it and urged that she should just walk ahead. He liked walking behind her, staring at her back. That kind of feeling felt so familar. It has happened before. He liked how it is now. He liked the fact that Hye loves him a... |
2 | 10 | JaeJoong stared up at Hye, looking at her face, into her eyes. He went to stand at the opposite side of the bed. Hye was moving herself away from her table and towards her side of the bed. JaeJoong noticed her eyes. Hye tried to set her focus. She sat down on her bed and tucked herself into the blanket. JaeJoong stood ... |

And now the Emperor, with all the grandees of his court, came to the weavers; and the rogues raised their arms, as if in the act of holding something up, saying, "Here are your Majesty's trousers! Here is the scarf! Here is the mantle! The whole s... |
