I Thought I Had No Time, Then I Had Another Kid

All you parents, pet owners, plant owners, and assorted carers of other living beings: If you thought your life was already complicated enough, I SUGGEST YOU HAVE ANOTHER KID.

Life doesn’t just get busier, it gets exponentially crazy. I’m talking if you didn’t schedule your own poop time, you ain’t getting no relief, you know what I’m saying?

This announcement is two weeks late, but here it is. Introducing our latest time-sucker: The Maxine Project. She makes up for late-night feedings and constant pick-me-up yells by playing cute.

She gets away with it. For now.

2011: An Epic Odyssey

Brace yourselves, Blog Followers. This is going to be an epic year for the Family Dokken-Ho.

I am in the home stretch to being Formerly Pregnant.

We are in the process of building a house. From scratch. As in dirt. As in we dug a giant hole in the muddy Seattle ground and are filling it with a structure that is not imaginary.

We are still raising a petulant toddler. Whoever coined the term Terrible Twos obviously stopped observing kids after two years. I would like to politely point out that Threes is shaping up to be the Year of the Inexplicable Tantrums followed by Excessive Make-Up Hugs and Kisses. “Why are you crying?” Silence. I swear, toddlers are more forgetful than women in their third trimester.

Check back in a week or two.

We’re going to have two crying folks in this household (and I’m not talking about Ruby and Baby Sister Tree.) If we all survive 2011, it’s going to be a bloody miracle.

My new year’s resolutions?

Stay sane. Stay funny. Stay in love. Rock a mohawk.
