Well, hello there, Internet. Yes, I am still alive (although barely). I’ve just been bloggily blocked this week. So, today, for your reading pleasure, I give you the good, the bad and the fab of the last seven days. If you’d like to play along, visit Mommy’s Still Fabulous and link up!
The Good.
This is tough, because it’s been a rough week. But three things happened that are worthy of note:
- Tori actually took a real bath for the first time in oh, three weeks? With soap and everything. I am a fan of clean babies.
- Her first batch of fall clothes arrived in the mail. From Gymboree. Is there anything more adorable than clothes from Gymboree? I don’t think so (she’s got this pair of ruffled leggings that I would gladly wear if they came in my size).
- My dog’s ringworm finally cleared up. The battle to get it gone is a post all of its own, but I’m glad that he’s no longer in danger of becoming polka dotted.
The Bad.
On the one year anniversary of Tori’s first illness (which I swear was the swine flu), we both found ourselves sick. Again. This time with a particularly nasty cold that we seem to be passing back and forth and back again. Thankfully, as a by now seasoned mom, I’m far less nervous about these things than I used to be. But the coughs wracking her little body still make my heart twist in knots. And the rivers of snot pouring down her face and on to my clothes? Make me want to throw up in my mouth.
The Fab.
It’s a long weekend, people! And Mother Nature has turned her anger to the East Coast (they’re about to get nailed with a hurricane, aren’t they?), so it’s gorgeous here. The sun’s shining, the breeze is breezing and the thermometer’s not supposed to get above 80. I hate to say it, but for the first time ever, I’m actually ready for fall. Enough with the 100 degree weather already!
Also, Tori’s grandparents are coming to visit. And you know what that means? I can sleep in. It’s weeks like this that really make me appreciate the kindness of grandparents – and wish we lived much, much closer.
So that was my week. What’s good bad and fab in your world, dear readers?

Love stopping by and reading here. Sorry to hear about the sickness, but baths and adorable kiddos are great. And I’m with you- bring on the fall goodness.
Thanks for linking up!
Okay, the weather around these parts is… well, cloudy. I think it has been downgraded to a level 1 storm.
SOOO glad Tori is back to a bath routine. Clean babies might be next to godliness. Not sure about that.
And we are also spending some quality time with grandparents… loving that!
The weather on the east coast is definitely not as bad as was originally predicted though I wish it would cool down slightly. I hear what you mean about the fall–I’m looking forward to it as well.
I love anything from Gymboree! It’s my children clothing store of choice
