Sounds of Silence




My baby girl. Sound asleep and SUCKING HER THUMB. Donovan wasn't a thumb sucker. Donovan was also a snuggler, loved for you to hold him and be lovey dovey smoochy with him. His sister? Oh no, she's on the move. Likes to see the action. There's something on tv? I must turn and look - nevermind that I was JUST screaming for a bottle and have to crane my neck to see the show thus pulling the once almighty bottle from my mouth. No, it's ok, I wanna see. That's my girl.

Hi Trish,

My world and your world are pretty much the same right now and I can really identify with your comments. My daughter (#2 5 months) is exactly the same way. Crying and fussing for the bottle and then when feeding time starts interested in everthing else except feeding! I quit trying to chase the mouth. When she cranes the neck...she loses the nipple! Now I feel lucky b/c she is just learning (last week) to hold the bottle herself...THANK GOD! Your comments tickled me b/c I've thought the same things myself before and I could readily empathize.

Nice To Meet You

Hi. I just got here last week. They call me the Littlest Little. I'm glad to be here and I'm sure I'll be seein' ya around. This my mama. She's always telling me that she loves me and is so blessed to have me in her life. Sometimes she cries. Wait, that's all the time. Someone should get her a tissue or two or a box. This is my daddy. See my pinky here? He's wrapped around it already. I don't think he minds though. This is Fluffy and she's the coolest auntie there is. Her little girl, Monkey? I dig that one. Hopefully she and I can be the best of friends. It's my uncle, Pedro Juan. Everyone says I'm a mellow baby and that he was the same way when he was but a baby. That's cool with me. I love my Peej. Hopefully I'll have photos of me with my cousins and siblings tomorrow. And Uncle Kota? Mama is trying to find the picture of us together. She's not all that fast on the uptake. Cut her some slack though k? If she gets her poop in...

Customer Appreciation Day

Dear Crotchety Broad, While I love my job and think it's the easiest one in the world to have, I do not think dealing with your ass was easy. Here are some highlights from my fabulous time with you: When your cashier is ringing up your precious produce, putting the codes in (from memory thank you very much), don't start trash talking her. I didn't hear you ask if I needed help because, well, um, I was busy ringing your shit up. When I look up because I heard something , don't look at me and say, " HELLO??" all sarcastic and shit. I will squish your tomatos, avocados and bread. When I ask if you have coupons, that's generally a sign that I am not a mind reader, can't see in your purse and can't predict the future (contrary to what you may think dear customer). As a refresher, here's our coversation: Loverly Cashier: Did you have any coupons today ma'am? (and that ma'am part may or may not have been choked out of my throat) Crotchety Broa...
