THREE different people have asked me in the last week when I’m going to update my blog. I told them “never, because I’m sick of hearing myself complain,” and ALL THREE of them said that they are not sick of hearing me complain. Since three people amounts to approximately 25% of my readership, I figured [...]

Does “Ramirez” sound like “Miriam” to you? Before you get all judgmental, get yourself pregnant, get yourself as sick as I am, do a lot of walking you aren’t fit to do (at least not today, apparently) (I wrote that yesterday) so your head is spinning like a hyperactive top, plant yourself on a chair [...]

Not by me, though. I’d kill the darn thing, plus I’d fall off, and then bad things would happen. I was the brave soul who led the petting of the sheep, however. Just to keep up tradition, I told it I was pregnant, and G and/or my non-baby brother said, pretending to be the sheep, [...]

I’m on vacation. On my annual road trip to St. Louis. Actually the first half of the actual “road trip” part is over, because after four days of driving, as of Thursday night we areĀ in St. Louis. I had hoped to update from the road like I did last year, but I wasn’t able to, [...]

Ugh. Ugh.
The thing with driving carpool and being stuck in horrible traffic for over an hour when it’s over 90 degrees outside and you’re pregnant and spitting and you use up all the tissues and can’t reach the other box, is that if you had just listened to the traffic report instead of texting with [...]

RS has been sick for two days. Terrible nausea, plus high fever, which I can tell because she’s on fire, though I haven’t taken her temperature. Yesterday she said she was going to come downstairs, but then she couldn’t, because… G had made eggs for breakfast for himself and the twins (God bless summer, when [...]

Yesterday started out with something malfunctioning with G’s alarm, causing him to miss davening. Recall that it was a fast day, and he’s the rabbi. Not good. No one was coming after him with a pink slip or anything, but he was quite disturbed on a number of levels. Oops.
As for me, I started out [...]

So sick. Soooo sick.
Feel like I’ve been bursting with stories to tell, things to post, etc., but posting is much too annoying from my new non-Droid phone, and now that I have my new non-Droid phone and can check email and whatnot while lying on my side, it’s been difficult to get myself to sit [...]

Posting from my new phone! Not in love yet but it’s growing on me. Stay tuned.

I do not like heartburn, no I do not.
I do not like heartburn because it is hot.
I do not like how it hurts in my throat and my chest
Heartburn is the worst, it is not the best.
It doesn’t go away all day or all night
No matter what I swallow to try to make it right.
Stupid [...]
