(K) Kids!

Good ol’ Bye Bye Birdie! I love that there are musicals like this that just capture how timeless certain things are.

I ever thought I’d be one of those adults talking about how disrespectful kids are, or that their noses are always in their phones. But it’s happened. I’ve officially become an adult. Heck, most adults are just as rude.

Where do you think the kids get it from?

I’m baaaaaack!!!

I am officially done with projects and schoolwork for the rest of the summer, unless I decide to take some courses outside of my graduate program of human resources management. We’ll see!!

Anywho, looking forward to catching up on A to Z today and through the weekend!  Prepare for some awesome, relevant posts over here at Steps In Mommyhood! Y’all still with me?

And now, for your viewing pleasure… Here’s my cat (Winky) in a box.

  

A to Z Update

Just a quick note – I am finishing up a large project for one of my grad school classes, so my A to Z posts for these next couple of days may be a little wonky.

Some of you may have already read aboutmy journey with breastfeeding and exclusive pumping, but if you haven’t all of the information is in the hearty long post.

I’ve been pumping now for almost six months. I can’t believe how quickly time has flown by, especially looking back at all of the intense nights waking up every few hours to hook up and milk myself. I felt like one of those cows on those milk farms… hooked up to those uncomfortable looking milk pumps. Eep.

(D) Dad Jokes and Other Fun Things

Today’s post for the A-to-Z Challenge is brought to you by the letter D!

I feel like most of the posts I read A-dad-is-someone-who-holds-you-scolds-youin mommy groups these days are of women complaining about their husbands. While I’m sure some of these complaints are valid, I rarely see one I think, “Oh jeeze, what a terrible husband.” A recent one really frustrated me – a woman complaining that all her boyfriend got her for Valentine’s Day was a flower. Maybe it’s because we have never really been a crazy gift-reliant couple, though he does give some pretty thoughtful gifts. The greatest gift my husband and I gave each other is BabyJ.
