Desperately Seeking Caffeine....: January 2011
http://amylmurray01.blogspot.com/2011_01_01_archive.html
Keeping it all together, one latte at a time. Thursday, January 27, 2011. Too much of a good thing. It pains me to admit this. But I may need to cut down on my caffeine intake if I ever plan to run a half marathon and NOT wear Depends while doing so. Training for a half marathon sounds easy compared to the daunting task of cutting back on caffeine. Sad, no? Wednesday, January 26, 2011. Me: Zoey, eat your cereal. (How long can you market cereal-for-dinner night as fun and exciting? Me: Okay, sure. And now...

Desperately Seeking Caffeine....: April 2011
http://amylmurray01.blogspot.com/2011_04_01_archive.html
Keeping it all together, one latte at a time. Wednesday, April 27, 2011. Zoey and I were driving home from my Aunt Cindy's last night, after I had been to the gym. (Cindy is kind and gracious enough to watch Zoey every Tuesday evening so I can sneak in a work out. My goal is always to be home in time to watch the last half of The Biggest Loser.). But all I got was some new show called The Voice. Whatever.). Zoey: (from the backseat) Mom, what is the biggest lizard? Me: Ummmm, you mean, in the world?

Keeping it all together, one latte at a time. Monday, May 31, 2010. Did anyone catch the comment from my friend Kim after my video-post on Zoey's Celebration Tea? She was watching with her son, Brady, who caught sight of Zoey on-stage and yelled "there's Zoey.she my girlfriend! Without their love and support, I'd be hosed. Truly. A darling picture for their future wedding, don't you agree? Or maybe this one? Nothing ends well in this picture. Believe me. Sunday, May 30, 2010. Zoey has a little doggy coat...

Keeping it all together, one latte at a time. Friday, December 31, 2010. In the year 2011, I resolve to watch more movies. I know. WHOA. I'll start slow, don't worry. My sisters and I might take the kids to see Tangled this weekend. Charlotte let me borrow her copy of The Joy Luck Club oh, about six months ago, maybe I'll sit down to watch that. What's that you say? Ryan Reynolds stars in neither of those films? Happy 2011, everyone. May all your resolutions be as lofty as mine. You all will be happy to ...

Desperately Seeking Caffeine....: November 2010
http://amylmurray01.blogspot.com/2010_11_01_archive.html
Keeping it all together, one latte at a time. Sunday, November 14, 2010. Zoey has taken, lately, to homework. Paper comes out of the art bin (Mommy, grab the paper with no lines! This morning, while watching Elmo's All-Star Alphabet, she was thrilled to learn each letter comes in an upper case AND a lower case. Thrilled, I think, and a little disgruntled. I didn't know each letter has a big and a little! I can only write the big ones.". Wanting it done right. I can work with that. She's moved on from her...

Desperately Seeking Caffeine....: March 2010
http://amylmurray01.blogspot.com/2010_03_01_archive.html
Keeping it all together, one latte at a time. Wednesday, March 31, 2010. It's a beautiful thing. All of this explains my total joy on Sunday when Zoey asked me to please, Mommy, stop vacuuming and come read with me. She had selected some of her favorites: Rolie Polie Olie, Olivia, and No, David! We snuggled up on the couch and I swear, if a preschooler can have an Oprah 'Aha! That word has an 'H' in it! What is that 'H' word? That word says N-O, what does that mean? DAMN, I'm good. Sunday, March 28, 2010.

Keeping it all together, one latte at a time. Sunday, March 20, 2011. Revisiting the Moment from earlier this week. I started this post last week about the heartbreaking sweetness of parenting a four-year-old. Because, for the past several weeks, Zoey and I have been clicking along in our rhythms and routines so fluidly, with so FEW time-outs, that it makes me pause and consider how delightful her stage of development happens to be. Mommy, we can't SEE heaven, because it's behind all those clouds! We wil...

Keeping it all together, one latte at a time. Wednesday, August 25, 2010. Love of my life. Dear Coffee Pot,. But we need to talk about the beeping. I've tried hunting for the source of the beeping so I could cover it with a towel or even my sweatshirt sleeve to muffle the sound, but all this got me was a steam burn and, soon after, a faint call of Mommy? While I'm waiting for that day, I'll take a refill. Thanks. Thursday, August 19, 2010. My newest form of therapy. Under all those mounds of fabric?

Keeping it all together, one latte at a time. Tuesday, June 29, 2010. She's keeping it real, yo. Zoey's version of the song 'The Farmer in the Dell':. The farmer in my town,. The farmer in my town,. I know the stereo,. The farmer in my town. As her Auntie Alisa pointed out, 'stereo' is an actual word, as opposed to dairy-o, and what the hell is a dell, anyway? She's clearly just bringing this nursery rhyme in to the year 2010. Wednesday, June 23, 2010. Ahh, the hippies. There I was, sitting in a waiting ...
