Don't Underestimate..: Don't Underestimate the Importance of a Birthday to a 4 Year Old
http://dontunderestimate.blogspot.com/2009/05/dont-underestimate-importance-of.html
Wednesday, May 13, 2009. Don't Underestimate the Importance of a Birthday to a 4 Year Old. The kid turned 4 last week. It was all planned out - there was going to be a birthday party here on Saturday, we had invited all his friends from school and playgroup, there would be balloons, party hats and Mickey Mouse cupcakes for the kids (beer, wine and margaritas for the adults) - good times, right? Me: We can't have your birthday party tomorrow. Kid: What do you mean? Now looking a bit panicked). This went o...

Don't Underestimate..: Don't underestimate those piano lessons
http://dontunderestimate.blogspot.com/2009/03/dont-underestimate-those-piano-lessons.html
Wednesday, March 11, 2009. Don't underestimate those piano lessons. I know many of you groan at the thought of those childhood piano lessons that were forced upon you. I know many of you think "I wish I could play piano". And I know many of you from both camps who now send their kids (forced or not). Fast forward to today, and I can still play a little, but for the last 4 years I think it's been pretty limited to Disney tunes and nursery rhymes.

Don't Underestimate..: June 2009
http://dontunderestimate.blogspot.com/2009_06_01_archive.html
Monday, June 8, 2009. Don't underestimate giving it a shot. For those of you who follow our summer adventures at www.survivingsummer.com. You know about my friend L and the play she was in that we (6 moms in a mini-van) went to see. Here's the thing about L. SHE *does* stuff. I mean, we all *do* stuff, the blah blah mundane of our everyday lives, but L does the other things, the things we all say we would but never do. And now I hear stories of 35 mile bike rides and running with two four-year- olds.

Don't Underestimate..: Don't underestimate Superman
http://dontunderestimate.blogspot.com/2009/05/dont-underestimate-superman.html
Monday, May 25, 2009. Ice cream, that is. When we were visiting St. Augustine, FL earlier this year, we discovered Superman Ice Cream in a little parlor on St George St. The kid fell in love, and I'm pretty sure he ate it every day after that. This particular Superman Ice Cream was Red, Blue and Yellow - lovely colors that make you think twice about what you're eating, but really just Vanilla ice cream. So he cheerfully said that it was OK, he would just stick to Chocolate until we went back to get the g...

Don't Underestimate..: Don't underestimate your dog (or your vet)
http://dontunderestimate.blogspot.com/2009/03/dont-underestimate-your-dog-or-your-vet.html
Tuesday, March 24, 2009. Don't underestimate your dog (or your vet). She never had the chance to meet the kid, though, because I was 3 months pregnant when she died. She had been diagnosed with Osteosarcoma. A form of bone cancer. It was in her front leg, and unfortunately, due to her age and arthritis, she was not viable for the only treatment, amputation. In the end, Maxie made the decision for us, and passed away peacefully on her own. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). High Heels and High Chairs.

Don't Underestimate..: Don't underestimate what you say.
http://dontunderestimate.blogspot.com/2009/01/dont-underestimate-what-you-say.html
Tuesday, January 27, 2009. Don't underestimate what you say. Way, way (way) back in my "previous" life, I waited tables. In that life, I saw LOTS of people every day. And most of them said *something*, and for most, I don't really remember what. But there are three things that have stuck with me through all the years:. You're savvy." I don't know that I actually *am* savvy, but a couple who owned another restaurant in the same town, one day thought I was. Not sure why, but it makes me happy. High Heels a...

Don't Underestimate..: February 2009
http://dontunderestimate.blogspot.com/2009_02_01_archive.html
Thursday, February 26, 2009. Don't underestimate the grocery cart. Or rather, don't take the grocery cart for granted when your kid is still small enough that you can wrestle him into it. Today was the day that I realized the kid is too strong for me to *make* him do things. We're at BJ's, strolling the aisles, he's being a very good helper. More screaming, more crying, and now he's rolling around on the floor. The kid has quadrupled his strength (darn vegetables) and your only choice is to drop him or p...

Don't Underestimate..: October 2008
http://dontunderestimate.blogspot.com/2008_10_01_archive.html
Tuesday, October 21, 2008. Yes, I've got it. Bad. The dreaded procrastination-itis. I have a list a mile long (including "write your blog") and very few things crossed off. Do you know what's holding me back? Jeans I need new jeans. We are going to Colorado, and somehow, I don't think my NC summer wear is going to cut it. Why are jeans such a problem?
