Moving?

Years ago we were considering moving to San Francisco. We looked at apartments, were going to sell one of our cars and even looked into renting a moving truck to take our stuff cross country!

To say the least it was going to cost a small fortune. (This was before moving pods).

Then the idea totally got yanked when Margot's job got resended and the whole dot com industry went under!

Now of course, I'm glad that we decided to stay in upstate New York and have babies!

New York City?

At one point I thought that I wanted to be in a big city. Especially when I was working in corporate America.

I wouldn't mind Manhattan jobs but I think I'd really have to make enough in order for us to live comfortably.

I've been tossing around the idea of going back to school lately and either getting a teaching, law, or business degree!

The clean machine.

I've been pretty happy with our Dyson. However, it seems to be having some sucking issues lately. I'm sure there's something that I need to clean out and it's engineering is pretty easy to figure out.

I've heard that Electrolux vacuums are really good too.

From now on...I will never again buy another cheap vacuum! God knows, we've been through our fair share of vacuums under $100. Heck, we've probably purchased five of them already!

Music to my ears.

I've tried absolutely everything to get Emmy to stop crying. In fact, I purchased these little wind chimes that are in the forms of duckies that were attached to her carseat and I've since moved them to hang off of her seat.

Nothing works.

The other day I went to a Le Leche meeting and one thing that the girls were talking about was to turn the radio on an AM station and let the static on the channels be heard.

Sure enough...the best cure all and what has worked on a few occasions to end crying.

Static.
