I am delighted to say that my pregnancy has run its (agonizingly long) course and we’re all very happy with the results. I’ve managed to make yet another ridiculously cute baby boy with a crazy head of hair. He arrived August 16th at 6:51 PM, sunny side up and hair parted to the side in a most debonair way.
Oh happiness! We’re no longer just two people with a kid. Now we’re a family. Two kids, a dog, and a couch that is far too white and small for such a hairy, sweaty, stinky, pukey, poopy assortment of folk…most of whom are, I must add, male in gender.
*NOTE: In case anyone is interested, or cares, Listen to the Lion is a song from Van Morrison’s Saint Dominic’s Preview , fitting as the latest addition is both a Leo and named Van…
TOUGH LOVE

And my new favorite? Hands down? No f*@k-ing around? It’s KELL ON EARTH. I’m drawn like a moth to a flame. I can’t stop. I love this woman! She has managed to reach deep into my guts and retrieve that tiny, small, almost dissapeared piece of me that once lived another life. She’s recusitated my demon-bitch-ball-buster. And oh how I’ve missed her. Can I tell you that it’s fabulous to once again see mere mortals cringe in the presence of my POWER? Granted, these plebians are now members of my household, markedly, my poor husband. Such a joy it was to observe the way he drew back in horror at my request of a status report on his progress in hiring movers?! How he scuttled off to rectify the situation the moment I demanded he give it his “f*@king ALL God damnit!” Our adorable dog, formerly coddled and hand fed bits of sliced turkey, has been warned. So help me, one more screw up, (i.e.pee on the zebra rug), and that lil’ yorkie terror is OUT of here!!
Fortunately, I’ve refrained so far from informing my three-year old that, “if he needs to cry, please go outside”. But as I mentioned, it’s winter and it’s brutally cold out. I am a loving and devoted mom damnit, and I will only make him go in the hallway. Not outside.
At least until the springtime.
