The Kid Acts Like a Monkey
In "The Dana Files", Date: 09/28/08 9:51am
It’s true. I live in a zoo. I really do. And now I’m done rhyming for you.
You see, having kids is wonderful, but every now and again I wonder, “How did I get to this point in my life?” My days are filled with non-stop clea
America’s Funniest Home Video
In "The Dana Files", Date: 09/27/08 9:44pm
Okay, I’m biased. I know that. But this video cracks me up.
Dawson and I were watching Spongebob this morning, and then Nickelodeon went off the air for three hours as part of their Worldwide Day of Play event. I told Dawson to help me find Mu
I’m Sorry I Got You Germy, Mumma
In "The Dana Files", Date: 09/19/08 7:34pm
I stayed home from work today because this cold is kicking my butt. I awoke with a massive headache, barking like a seal, and began to cry. I hate being sick. Obviously, no one enjoys being sick, but when I’m ill I just want someone to take care
First Day of Preschool…

…and he didn’t even cry.
I did.
I sobbed, and sobbed.
I don’t even know why.
My baby is not a baby anymore.
Why can’t he stay little for awhile longer?

In Two Weeks…

…this little baby of mine turns 4 years old. I’m a little depressed about this. I don’t know why.

I’m Taking the Day Off
In "The Dana Files", Date: 08/17/08 10:53am
Just a few updates:
Dad is awake and I was able to speak to him on the phone this morning. I called the ICU for an update and his nurse passed the phone to me. It was wonderful to hear his voice, and he still sounds congested due to the surgery on hi
Forks and French Fries: A Dinner Time Fit
In "The Dana Files", Date: 08/09/08 3:21pm
Before I was pregnant, Doug and I enjoyed going out to dinner at least once a week. As I look back on it now, that’s a lot of money spent on dining out. But we were young and childless and one of our favorite ways to spend some of that disposabl
Dawson’s Shout Out To BlogHers
In "The Dana Files", Date: 07/14/08 8:41am
Beware, he gets a little loud at the end. I think he’s actually happy to see me go, considering he stayed overnight at my parents’ house this last weekend and refused to come home yesterday. Don’t be surprised if he decides to move in
Because I Said So
In "The Dana Files", Date: 06/30/08 8:13am
I’m sick. It’s laryngitis, I think. Thanks to WebMD, I was able to determine why I have had a sore throat and raspy, almost non-existent voice since last Wednesday.
I honestly thought it was just a looming cold, but it’s not. Then I t
Acci-Dental
In "The Dana Files", Date: 06/03/08 10:16am
Yesterday, I mentioned that I had to see my dentist. For the record, going to the dentist scares me. Ever since I was a little girl, I’ve been freaked out about the fact that I have to keep my mouth open for long durations while someone sticks his
Take Me Out to the Mall Game
In "The Dana Files", Date: 05/09/08 4:19am
Right after Dawson was born, I had this irrational fear of taking him out in public alone. My baby intimidated me, and because I was nursing, I decided to only leave the house with Dawson in tow if it was absolutely necessary. This included monthly chec
Why Getting My Workout Isn’t Working Out
In "The Dana Files", Date: 05/08/08 10:57am
Over the last few months I’ve been slacking when it comes to my exercise regime. You may recall that my family has joined the YMCA and for the first three months I went to aerobics, yoga and Butts ‘n Guts classes religiously. Then I got te
Attack of the Pod Preschooler
In "The Dana Files", Date: 05/07/08 7:41am
It was bound to happen. I should have expected it. No sooner than I wrote this post, praising my adorable, loving child did he turn into the spawn of Satan and launch a direct attack on his mother, in the form of a full force temper tantrum.
It was a me
Missing My Baby
In "The Dana Files", Date: 05/05/08 10:19am
Lately, I’ve been in a bit of a funk about motherhood. Little Dawson isn’t really so little anymore. He is only three years old, but my son is growing more independent every day. He wants to do everything by himself. He doesn’t want
Spring, Glorious Spring!
In "The Dana Files", Date: 04/20/08 5:25pm
Just about a week ago I woke up to snow outside my bedroom window. It was a fluke. I mean, really. Snow? In April? So depressing.
After a long, extremely cold winter, I prayed for Spring every day. Dawson felt my pain. Every morning since January, he

Chuck E. Cheese is the Devil Incarnate
In "The Dana Files", Date: 04/14/08 12:48pm
We don’t have a Chuck E. Cheese restaurant (arcade? waste of money? place where parents go to die a slow, painful death?) in our town. The nearest one is an hour away in the city of Appleton. We had never gone to one before. Now I completely und
Another Mercy Post
In "The Dana Files", Date: 04/09/08 9:13pm
I’ve been slacking on the blog. Again. I am a failure as a blogger. I went from posting daily to posting only when I’m feeling guilty about not posting.
In my defense, I’m still trying to catch up on laundry and housework. After four
Toilet Paper and Hair Dye
In "The Dana Files", Date: 03/24/08 5:00am
Since I’ve been home every single day, the bulk of the household chores have now become mine. I’m not complaining. Not entirely. I really do enjoy picking up after my husband, my son and my dog. They are my boys. I love them so.
However, what I don’
Bits and Pieces of Bloggy Stuff
In "The Dana Files", Date: 03/17/08 6:04am
I know I haven’t really been blogging much the last few days, and I apologize for leaving you all hanging. I’d like to give you an amazing excuse, but I don’t have one. Yeah, I’ve been busy. But everyone is busy and they still f
