Where is the NerdMom

Sorry I have been so absent lately. I went back up to Stanford last week for another procedure. That makes 4 since April. So in the wake of that chaos and all the things I have to do to prep for the fall, specifically for MOPs, the blogs have suffered. Between the pain meds and the feeling icky, sometimes my thought process isn't conducive to actually writing anything but I am slowly getting back so stay tuned for more postings. NerdDad has marked over 250 things in the Google Reader and I am sure some of them will rock and make it to the blog;).

First Tooth!

We are so excited when our kids get their first tooth. Who would have thought after we waited for it to arrive we would be so excited to see it leave? NerdPie lost her first tooth last night eating pizza. She was so funny because she gave a shriek, said she lost her tooth, handed it to me and then took another bite of pizza. Kids are funny;). Now we are waiting for the one right next to it to fall out. It is just barely hanging in there.

Tackle It Tuesday: We Have Paint!

OK, I understand. Painting an office may not be a huge accomplishment for many of you, but it is grand for us. Our office has been our junk/storage room since we moved into this house. This means it has been piled high with stuff. So back at the end of October I decided to reclaim our office. Then I had major surgery, then Christmas so it totally got shelved. Just recently I decided to try again. We finally got it totally cleaned out (or really, all the junk is in the garage;) and painted. This was my first experience painting these walls with builder paint. I have never need to use primer and these walls took about 1 1/2 cans of it.

So now we are just waiting for the paint to cure for a couple of days and then we will put the outlet covers back on and move back the furniture. We need to get that part done this week so we can start organizing the paper work before I go back to Stanford (the 12th). So what do you think of our Moose Mousse?
