I know kids get sick, but come on!!! For 6 weeks- SIX WEEKS!!!- Baby-Ko’s  had a nasty unexplained virus that’s come and gone, ebbed and flowed, and disappeared and reappeared. This past Monday, my happy baby who’s cough I thought was just “residual”, went from point a to point sick within hours. Since Monday, we’ve had a trip to Urgent Care, a trip to the ER and a trip to the doctor. The diagnosis: a bad virus and a sinus infection. He seems to be getting better, but the frustration and sadness of listening to a 13 month old snore (when they’re awake) because they can’t blow their nose and ...Read More

Aloha! We just got back from a beautiful week in Maui for Dirty Uncle P and Auntie J’s wedding. It was awesome. The wedding, the weather, the family and friends…. it was a blast. I can’t say that I am coming back relaxed, but I definitely am coming back exhausted which is a sign that I had a great time… So as you know by now, I hate birds. But now that Baby-Ko can actually say the word “Bird” (well, it sounds more like “burr”),  I feel like I have to stifle my desire to scream and run when those nasty little creatures fly by or land near me. When I ...Read More

Well, it’s only Monday but I feel like there’s already a few things that are post worthy… or not. You be the judge.Let’s see….1) I got my first “Your Son is Sick” call from Day Care today. Around 4pm my cell phone rang and one of the teachers at Baby-Ko’s day care told me that he felt warm and when she took his temperature, it was about 100. I quickly grabbed my stuff, told my coworkers the situation, and ran out the door to save my son. Okay, maybe he didn’t need saving, but I felt like I needed to be there as fast as I could for him. ...Read More

With a million things on my plate and on my mind, I’m finding it hard to be creative and post something new. I am truly DISTRACTED. Ironically, it’s actually “distraction” that made me feel like a genius tonight…. I’m sure I’m not the first parent in the world to HATE cutting their baby’s finger nails. It’s impossible and kind of exhausting, actually. T-Ko and I usually attempt this horrible feat during a bottle feed, when Baby-Ko’s relaxed and zoned out. But it ultimately ends up stressful: one pinch and Baby-Ko’s on to us- hands clenched in a fist, not willing to play along. I try my best to sway him with ...Read More

Tonight, as Baby-Ko finally settled down and drifted to sleep in my arms, I took my first (easy) deep breath of the week. Sitting in the dark, with Baby-Ko ‘s head now on my chest, I closed my eyes. What a week. Emotional. Exhausting. Relieving. It occurred to me that I hadn’t written or posted anything new all week. I like to think that I write humorous, light, and certainly candid posts… But, nothing “light” or fluffy came to me this week (with the exception of my new boredom with the Olympics and the fact that all I can think about is how Misty May and Kerry Walsh never ...Read More
