A Tale of Two Kiddies: November 2008
http://taleoftwokiddies.blogspot.com/2008_11_01_archive.html
Sunday, November 30, 2008. What's In A Name? Got me thinking about names with this post. Toni is a fairly common name these days. When I was a kid, though, the only other kids named Tony were boys and that always drove me crazy. In my family, it was sort of customary (for some strange, unknown reason) to name daughters with traditionally boy names. I have an Aunt Tomie and a cousin Terri, among others. People called me Tonya and Judy (! Sweetie, could you come up to the desk, please? Well, you're wrong, ...

A Tale of Two Kiddies: December 2008
http://taleoftwokiddies.blogspot.com/2008_12_01_archive.html
Tuesday, December 9, 2008. Nine years ago today, my daughter entered the world. After nearly three full days of trying to trick my body into having her the "old-fashioned way", I relented to a c-section. We didn't click for some time, my daughter and I. I suppose at some level, I resented this little creature who had put me through such a difficult birth. My husband stepped in and bonded with her while I tried to push through the haze of new motherhood and depression to find my place. Today, she is nine.

A Tale of Two Kiddies: Toni Cheater Pants
http://taleoftwokiddies.blogspot.com/2009/01/toni-cheater-pants.html
Tuesday, January 13, 2009. I have a confession, internetz. I have been cheating on you. I have a new lover in my life and it has quietly and unobtrusively eaten the time I used to spend here blogging and reading your blogs. I am ashamed at my indiscretion. I also know that this new lover is one that isn't necessarily approved of in the blogging community because of its fickiness about boobs and babies. If you hadn't guessed, I have joined the ranks of those addicted to Facebook. And the friending thing i...

A Tale of Two Kiddies: Absenteeism
http://taleoftwokiddies.blogspot.com/2009/02/absenteeism.html
Monday, February 2, 2009. I am taking more courses than usual this quarter and am trying to get grad school applications in order, too. I am still a mom, wife and friend. So, coupled with my Facebook obsession, this place has taken a backseat lately. For those of you who still bother visiting, I apologize for that. I am still reading most of your posts but commenting is pretty infrequent. As Bartles and James said, "thanks for your cooperation.". February 2, 2009 at 5:29 AM. February 2, 2009 at 9:24 AM.

A Tale of Two Kiddies: Black and Blue
http://taleoftwokiddies.blogspot.com/2009/02/black-and-blue.html
Tuesday, February 10, 2009. So I am a slacker of mega proportions when it comes to blogging. Some days I am determined to get back on the horse 'cause I do love to read about you (I lurk more than comment, though, these days) and love your comments here even more. Other days, I think I will just throw in the towel. A little yellow rose from Texas. Though, keeps pecking (nicely and gently) and keeps me from doing the latter. So, back to the title of this post: black and blue. I shoulda listened to my gut.

A Tale of Two Kiddies: October 2008
http://taleoftwokiddies.blogspot.com/2008_10_01_archive.html
Monday, October 20, 2008. Nah, it's not Superman. It's just Liam doing his latest and greatest trick. That is, he drops to his knees and then, gently, to his belly and extends his arms and legs as if he were the Man o' Steel. This happens when something doesn't quite go his way and can happen at a moments notice- indoors or out. The kid doesn't care where or on what surface, he just lays down. Then he whines until someone picks him up. He is doing this 10, sometimes 20 times a day. Youve just gotta laugh.

A Tale of Two Kiddies: August 2008
http://taleoftwokiddies.blogspot.com/2008_08_01_archive.html
Monday, August 25, 2008. My car wouldn't start on Friday morning. Instead of panicking, I chose to see this as a good thing seeing as how we leave for Hilton Head Island on September 5. Better now than then, right? Then, I learned that the dealer, who must work on my vehicle because of the warranty, is booked solid until Thursday, August 28. Guess who had to beg, borrow, steal and threaten a lawsuit to get a crummy loaner car? I mean, even us SAHMs. Must run to The Wal. Mart once in a while, right? As I ...
