http://andyjessaddison.blogspot.com/2010/01/additude-again.html
ADDIE E., BABY B. and ME. Figuring it out one day at a time. Sunday, January 24, 2010. Of mine, who is a mother of two with impeccable style, has the poster. Keep Calm and Carry On. Hanging in her home. I need it because these days I get a lot of Additude. And when I say a lot, that is a colossal understatement. No one believes that the above Additude truly exists. Everyone looks at Andy and I as though we are the ones being overly dramatic. You doubt the accuracy of my parents. Take this, suckers. She m...

ADDIE E., BABY B. and ME. Figuring it out one day at a time. Monday, May 17, 2010. A case of the Mondays. That nasty fever is gone. A horrendous attitude. When I say horrendous I mean, well, horrendous. Yelling. Screaming. Pushing. Spitting, shoving, kicking. Bellowing. And my personal fave,. Today around 5:30 pm she wanted to go out and play. Even though it was drizzling. Even though it was chilly. Even though she was in a sleeveless, short dress. I gave in and said we could frolic. Mama YOU DO IT.

ADDIE E., BABY B. and ME. Figuring it out one day at a time. Monday, September 20, 2010. The tantrums are fabulous these days. Tantrums and pouting - the majority of my day is occupied with tantrums and pouting. And the pouting, the endless pouting, is usually accompanied. By crossed arms, stomping feet and a hanging head. It is usually in response to not getting her way or being told this dreadful word: No. Can I have peanuts and a Popsicle. Pout Crossed arms. Glare. We go somewhere today? Aren't once o...

ADDIE E., BABY B. and ME. Figuring it out one day at a time. Monday, October 13, 2014. 17 hours in the 'Burgh. I spent 17 hours in Pittsburgh this weekend, which let me just say, is not a long enough time to be anywhere. But this road trip was worth the effort, as it was a chance to celebrate my babiest cousin and her lovely new marriage to Jon, and their gorgeous sidekick Jack. Of me, I called it quits after the first round of Fireball was ordered last night, but it was a hard decision to make. As f...

ADDIE E., BABY B. and ME. Figuring it out one day at a time. Wednesday, July 7, 2010. How Sweet It Was. Over the past year there were moments that I. I experienced the so-called terrible twos. There were tantrums and testing. Tears and screaming. I have discovered that my version of the terrible twos was a cake walk. It was rainbows and daisies and fluffy bunnies. I didn't know it then, but the twos were a dream. We are one solid day into the threes and I am getting a little worried. Fine, I'll DO IT!

http://andyjessaddison.blogspot.com/2015/02/three-again.html
ADDIE E., BABY B. and ME. Figuring it out one day at a time. Wednesday, February 11, 2015. Seriously, three, I have not missed your ass. I have survived you before, and darn it, I will survive you again. No, seriously, I will. In my sweet, rose tinted memory I hardly remember Addison at three, until I force myself to. As sweet as she was, that child was not perfect - as evidenced by this rant. And this one,. Okay and this one. Holy sweet Jesus,. Sleeping through the night. Looks can be deceiving. Why can...

ADDIE E., BABY B. & ME: Keeping Traditions
http://andyjessaddison.blogspot.com/2014/10/keeping-traditions.html
ADDIE E., BABY B. and ME. Figuring it out one day at a time. Tuesday, October 28, 2014. In a small attempt to fulfill my duties at good, or at least half way decent, mother I upheld two of our family traditions last week. The first, which brings me equal parts joy and sadness, was delivering a pumpkin to Papa Neyer's grave. Addie and I started to bring him a pumpkin on his birthday a year. This year our visit seemed a little more bittersweet, as it would have been Bob's 60th birthday. He still had so...
