Swingin' on a Star: January 2006
http://halfmileupriver.blogspot.com/2006_01_01_archive.html
Tuesday, January 31, 2006. Yes that title is a blatant lure for search result hits.). Are at it again. Most pools require an adult to remain in the water with a small child. Are the Y lifeguards not properly trained to rescue a small child should one need to be rescued? The real issue here is the argument that breastfeeding is "distracting" to the lifeguards. (Momma Star would love to know where the TYMCA finds these lifeguards.). Has anyone else seen what passes for swimwear. Links to this post. You kno...

Swingin' on a Star: August 2005
http://halfmileupriver.blogspot.com/2005_08_01_archive.html
Tuesday, August 30, 2005. Blast from the Past. The little twinkles and I had lunch with Grammie Imelda (so named for her summer footwear fetish) today. She asked us to stop at my elementary school, pick something up, and drop it off at her office. No problem, except I must write an entry some time on how completely inappropriate the term "stay-at-home-mom" is. I digress. Posted by Momma Star at 9:02 PM. Links to this post. Tuesday, August 23, 2005. In a black and far off corner of my mind. Monday, August...

Grateful Redhead: May 2006
http://gratefulredhead.blogspot.com/2006_05_01_archive.html
Wednesday, May 03, 2006. Our momentous decision has been made. In the tradition of most momentous decisions in our family, this one was decided by rochambeau. As my children say, three times is fair. Yes, after days of emotional deliberation it came down to rock beating scissors. You can't argue with that. Rochambeau is the way to go. What a relief to have that out of the way.

Swingin' on a Star: December 2005
http://halfmileupriver.blogspot.com/2005_12_01_archive.html
Friday, December 30, 2005. These are the Backyardigans. Yes, take a moment to appreciate the irony of a television show about playing in the backyard. The music in this show is actually. And since Nickelodeon cannot air a show without marketing the hell out of it, the Backyardies have just released a cd. How very twenty-first century of them. Posted by Momma Star at 9:35 AM.

Swingin' on a Star: September 2005
http://halfmileupriver.blogspot.com/2005_09_01_archive.html
Tuesday, September 27, 2005. If I haven't mentioned already, Boy Star has an unusual attachment to Grammie Imelda. A good thing, as far as that goes, but quite hilarious. She spent the day with us Sunday. She played video games and pushed toy cars around, and hand fed the kid, and spoiled him at the store. And when it was time for her to go, in his best Scarlett impression, he wailed," No don't go! Take me with you! I think I should be offended, but I can't seem to quite get worked up.

Swingin' on a Star: October 2005
http://halfmileupriver.blogspot.com/2005_10_01_archive.html
Monday, October 31, 2005. She has to be kidding me. Cannot possibly be anything more than an early April Fool's Day prank. Seriously, now I'm going to have to rant. WTF is wrong with people that we continue to promote the woman as sex object stereotype in this country. Once and for all, prostitution, porn, and abstinence programs all have it wrong. Sexuality is not a commodity to be sold, paid for, or given as a freaking wedding present. Posted by Momma Star at 1:05 PM. Links to this post. We sat next to...

Swingin' on a Star: February 2006
http://halfmileupriver.blogspot.com/2006_02_01_archive.html
Monday, February 27, 2006. It's gotten to the point where I must admit we have outgrown our house. Even if we throw out half the junk we have around here, we have still outgrown our house. Most days, the "opposites attract" balance between me and Daddy Star works out quite well. Especially with regard to the raising of the Twinkles. See, Daddy Star. He's a planner. He's an analyst. He is never happier than when a life event requires the creation of a spreadsheet. Woe is me. Posted by Momma Star at 9:43 AM.

Tuesday, February 28, 2006. Make the black circles go away. Mommy make the very bad baby sleep. Make him stop sucking the very essence from my body. He wants to nurse all.night.long. He howls at the very sight of crib bars and refuses to sleep on his mattress for any extended period. Why? I did what the nice lady in the. Told me to do. I tried everything the compassionately crazy ladies at. Posted by Renée at 10:09 AM. Friday, February 24, 2006. So why was I grouching about a messy house? You can swing y...

Swingin' on a Star: November 2005
http://halfmileupriver.blogspot.com/2005_11_01_archive.html
Tuesday, November 29, 2005. Boy Star has developed quite the imagination. He is also quite adept at expressing himself. BS: What's for dinner tonight? BS: I don't want pasketti. I don't like it. MS: I didn't ask if you like it. I told you what's for dinner. BS: That's not fair, mommy. MS: Fair's a place you take your pig, baby. BS: No mommy. You go to the fair all by yourself. And take your noodles with you. Don't talk on the phone. It'll kill you. I don't want you to get killed.". Links to this post.
