This was going to be another living in the moment segment but my son kept me up most of last night so I am too sleepy to write anything coherent - of course, now that I am a mom, I feel guilty about saying my son kept me up when in reality I kept him up by not putting his diaper on right. The poor thing was wet and miserable for a while before I did the smart thing to actually check the bed and feel the wetness (his nightgown was fleece and I couldn’t tell it was wet). Yep, that was me, dumbest mom of the year!
Oh well, the little one seems to be doing fine otherwise - he is teething, so it is a 24/7 drool-fest. He will bite anything and everything he can reach including your nose, your chin and your fingers. All you can see sometimes when you pick him up is a big, open mouth trying to grab your chin. He also loves playing with my hair and leaves it “Edwards Scissorhands”-esque once he done with it.
I got my green-card approval a week ago and I am getting my passport stamped on the 14th. I am happy I don’t have to deal with the H-1 baggage anymore.
My husband and I are going to be at the Mavs-Seattle Sonics basketball game this evening. He got really good tickets in the 115 row from his boss - I am hoping I will not fall asleep half-way through the game…

Pravasi, I am trying that but my son seems to want to bite on everything but the chew toys. Human fingers are his favorite :)

Madman
Will you please get back to the line?

LOL, Madman :)
Anil, it was a fun game even if we lost. I screamed my head off and ended up losing my voice too.
Dilip, I had no idea there was a line. I feel flattered now :)

A flattered Mom — now I like that!

Anil, precisely why I keep my husband away from my blog ;)

There used to be a certain Steve Nash at the head of the line. With his departure from Mavs, the playing field has been levelled. Bring ‘em on :-)
Please ask your husband to forgive us for we know not what we do :-)

I have got to admit that part about Nash is unfortunately true. He broke my heart and went to Phoenix, so all those “I love Nash” T-shirts I bought for my son had to be changed to “I !love Nash” ;)
Dilip, if this will spur my husband into buying me flowers a little more often…sure, why not? ;)
