On Elderly Dogs and Babies: A Primer
@hoo:ha I think pugs just tend to be like this, a little too cool for their own good. I'm sure mine just put up with the kids but they would rather hang with me.

@hoo:ha Pugs in the house! I have two, they were there before the kids, and both are rather indifferent to the human children. They much prefer following me around.

@iceberg I was home for 7 years, then went back full time in 2010. It was time! And I am happier for it. Staying home full time is CRAZY. It was sort of like boot camp? But! After being home that long, honestly "paid" work does not seem as big of a deal. Deadlines? Pshaw. Piece of cake. Have you ever dealt with a family stomach flu?

@The Everpresent Wordsnatcher Thank you darling. It is so dusty in my office, eyes.are.so.watery. I have built a beautiful life and I finally realized last year that I deserve a beautiful life. So empowering.

@iceberg You will love all the crafts. A fun one to do now -- when it's warm out, fill up a bucket with water and let them "paint" with paintbrushes. We also did twig hunting, rock hunting, find all the beautiful pebbles and put them in a jar etc. When they are walking you can do silly things like this and it makes the time pass nicely. Also! Power in numbers, I always had company, other friends with toddlers for the 5-7 time (witching hour). Order pizza, drink wine, and it really is a life saver. Because you can go bat shit crazy day after day with only toddlers to talk to, as cute as they are.

@southwer Also love, the little years are so hard! And it is OK not to love every snotty nose, ear infection, dirty diaper, demands for juice, episodes of Yo Gabba Gabba and the like. But! Eventually, they even out and it does get better.

On Three Deviled Eggs
Impromptu deviled eggs eaten by the sink are the best. You need Heinz sweet pickle relish added to really knock it out of the park.
