Today was the second time I caught their dog leaving his waste in our lawn. This dog, being as old as it is, will not leave even when I shouted and it and even proceeded to bark at ... http://mommymumbles.wordpress.com/2007/04/04/calling-the-doggy-police/ I've had several people pose this question to me after I've told them that I would love to find that part-time job that will allow me to work out of a home office and most importantly utilize my education and work experience. And I know some wonder it although ... http://mommymumbles.wordpress.com/2007/03/22/why-work/ Yesterday, all afternoon M was only interested in drawing with his crayons.  The problem comes when his drawing strays off his easel onto books, the baby monitor, etc.  Because I couldn't supervise his drawing since I was making dinner, I had to take his crayons away from him temporarily.  But ... http://mommymumbles.wordpress.com/2007/03/22/the-little-artist/ As some of my loyal visitors (those few that are out there) may note, I've really been horrible at keeping up with this blog. But I really do "think" about all the things I want to blog about, but when I finally have the time to sit down at ... http://mommymumbles.wordpress.com/2007/03/16/wish-list-item-1/ It's been a long time, but I'm back.  We've been battling a germ war in our house.  Except some runny noses, coughs and congestion, we are as healthy as we have been in a long while.  I've been thinking about blogging for weeks, but didn't quite have the energy to ... http://mommymumbles.wordpress.com/2007/03/05/im-back-2/ Apparently M got his from DH.  You see, last week at his opthamology appointment, he was diagnosed with myopia.  For those who have no idea what that is (me included before M's appointment), it means he is nearsighted.  The doctor says he will be wearing glasses at a very young ... http://mommymumbles.wordpress.com/2007/02/15/where-did-you-get-those-peepers/ What would you consider to be a kid's flick...kid meaning preschool/early elementary in my case? My boys got the Cars DVD for Christmas and they just LOVE it. I'll be honest, I have yet to watch the entire movie, and maybe I should have "screened" it first. From ... http://mommymumbles.wordpress.com/2007/02/13/kid-flicks/ Okay, so I wanted to toss this topic out there... Today we took the kids to the mall and let them play in the play area for a while. Ofcourse, it was relatively crowded. First annoying incident occurred when a mom changed her son's diaper on the ground in ... http://mommymumbles.wordpress.com/2007/02/10/mommy-etiquette/ I've been absent from the blogsphere for a while - due to a germ-fest in our house and we also travelled to WI to look for a home to rent.  And DH had an interview too..and what a trooper - he went through three days of interviewing with pink eye, ... http://mommymumbles.wordpress.com/2007/02/06/long-time-no-writeupdate/ It's all been a juggling act the past few days. Taking care of sick kids, cleaning the house, going to work, working on our business, etc. By the way, I'm happy to share that we FINALLY have our Chinese New Year designs up.
