It's Addictive
I realized I have been blogging about Rafael mainly lately so I am reposting my Sahmmy.com blog about China Doll to even it out. Not that they know. Not that they can even read because I will not pay for that stupid DVD to teach them to read. I don’t want them reading my journal at an age when they can’t fully appreciate the metaphors or the humor.
From 1988-1997, I tried very hard...

I was born extremely pigeon toed, and with hips that are pronated. When I was a baby, I had braces on my legs for a few months, but this proved ineffective after about 3 months so I had them removed. Anyway, I used to practice walking in a straight line as...

Yesterday I took Rafael to a “you’re paranoid” check at a specialist. Since she was born she has had a pigeon toed foot that she hasn’t “grown out of”. When she had her 5 yr checkup the doc asked if there was anything else that was of concern and a little voice in my head (I always listen to this voice and get spanked when I don’t) said, her foot. So, we...

Whatever will be will be...
Sunrise, Sunday morning, the start of a new week. Wonder what deliciousness this one will bring?
I just made coffee and started the Express Bake for what should be sumptuous Oat/Wheat/White bread. Smells good anyway. And in that moment of coffee brewing, sun rising, bread baking I hear, “Mom! I just did a nose flush and a TON of snot came out!” And the birds are chirping…
This same child and I...

Littlest Pet Scam
(on my kid’s camera, it says this was taken at 430am, no wonder shes pissy)
My daughter is now obsessed with Littlest Pet Shop online (lpso). We never play video games, aside from Pixie Hollow from time to time, mainly because we live in a rural setting and I would rather throw them outside to play in the dirt. But, Rafael used her birthday money from her great grandma to purchase a LPS...

Tangled Up In Blue
Take a second to look at these jeans. Can you tell that they are Gap, Polo, Old Navy, Levis, or Yes? No, you can’t. Neither can a three year old. But they are those brands and I bought them for .25 a pair.
They also range in sizes too; I am prepared for whatever growth spurt comes China Doll’s way. Since I only paid .25 a pair, if she grows out of them, rips them, or has...

Gee....thanks
At my daughter’s Pre-Kindergarten Prep Class (which is fancy marketing for sucking money out of parents whose kids missed the birthday cut off), when it’s a kid’s birthday they get to bring treats. They also are named “Student of the Week!” which translates to mom bringing treats EVERY DAY for the entire week.
Uh, thanks.
So, how does Sahmmy, who likes to save a...

TheSahmmy Saves a Shitload
A new segment where I share my latest steals.
The problem: Need toy bin.
The option: Pay anywhere from 35-99.00 at various retailers
My solution: As always, scour Craigslist and garage sales.
I really don’t know why people with children under 6 yrs of age don’t jump on the recycling bandwagon and get clothes, staple items, etc from others at a much lower price.
Let’s consider...

Baking Bad
I rarely explain my actions, partly because I am over 35. The other part is my knee jerk reaction to other women who feel compelled to explain themselves: why they need two nannies when they are a stay at home mom, why they paid someone a few hundred dollars to potty train their kids, why they think face painting is too time consuming.
So I don’t feel any need to explain what I did today. I’m just...

Mommy Marketing
Rafael started Kindergarten prep today, well, it was a “walk through”, sort of a cocktail party for pre-schoolers. Tomorrow is the real deal. This is her fourth pre-school in four years because we have moved that many times (have I mentioned Hubby actually hinted to wanting to move yet again…?) I never get emotional when Rafael starts school because the Marketing major in me knows that the key to...
