Another item for the "skills and experience" portion of my resume: Chew Toy.
Yeah, the teething thing is a real treat. We have several soothing rattles and teethers sitting in the fridge, but Gigi isn't interested. What does she like? Fingers. Mommy and Daddy's, to be specific. She really like Daddy's because of all his interestingly broken knuckles; unfortunately, Daddy has a new injury sustained in a card game (yes, Daddy plays full-contact bridge, don't ask) so he gets to beg off gnawing detail.
So I am not doing as much typing as I would like. The good news is that Gigi seems to be settling into a pattern for when the teething activity spikes, so at least there's some predictability to the daily FussFests. Now that I've written about it, no doubt I've screwed that up.
About Me
- Mugs
- I'm originally from North America and I work in the travel industry. I started this blog when I was living in Baltic Europe and wanted to keep family and friends updated on my first pregnancy. I took maternity leave for a year, and came a little closer to figuring out what I want to be when I grow up - but alas, the job of "Katharine Hepburn" was taken. So after fifteen months of Stay-at-Home-Mom-hood, I returned to the workforce in January 2006. My husband and I have a daughter born in 2004 and a son born in 2006 (known on this blog as "Gigi" and "Halley" respectively). My company transferred me to a nice warm island in July 2006, where I get to spend the next three years (at least!) So why the name "Purple Scare"? Because when I created the blog, I was living behind the Rusted Iron Curtain, and I like the color purple more than red. Write me at purplescareblog@gmail.com.
