How Many Days Left…
It’s Alive!
My iPod has a mind of it’s own. Does yours? Mine definitely has favorites. One time it decided to give us a whole Switchfoot concert, and tonight on my way home, it decided it liked Korn. (Yes, I actually like a whole 3 Korn songs. So there.) I’m just glad that some of it’s favorites, meaning songs that show up every time I play it, are my favorites too…like All American Rejects, “Move Along.” Love that song!
Okay…for the record- I can barely stand to look at my own site anymore, it’s time for a change, and the Captivating thing needed to come down months ago! (Now if I can just learn how to change things up myself…I need a “How to Build Websites for Busy, Time-Consumed, Exhausted Moms” book, because I’m no Dummy. (Granted, the last statement is negotiable some days.) )
Anyways, ehem, I took some unconventional preggo shots today of my 5 1/2 month along belly. The pregnancy is going pretty well, this little girl is moving quite a lot, which is fun, unless you happen to be nauseated which seems to be happening to me a bit more lately, only at night and sometimes in the morning, so I guess it could be worse and I’m praying it doesn’t get worse! I go in for a check-up tomorrow…so I’ll update if there’s anything worth sharing.
Here’s some of the shots:
I Actually Did Some Art Yesterday!
Beau and His Ball of Sunshine
Pencil Drawing with Elmer’s Glue Paint Pens
Something I Wanted to Remember…
The other night we all took a walk after dinner and after pushing Beau around in the stroller, I traded with Kev for Drew who was riding his tricycle. (It has a little push bar, you know for those kids who have trouble pedaling and/or steering.) I don’t think I did anything particularly wonderful or special in that moment, but I think Drew was just feeling extra happy this evening and he said, “Mommy, you’re my best mommy!”
I knew I had to write this down, before I forgot what it was he said, and for those days when I’m really not sure if he likes me very much…
Lesson Learned
If your clean clothes are all neatly folded and laid out on your bed, ready to be hung up and put in their drawers…don’t wait, or your children will almost certainly decided to have an impromptu sword fight atop your bed which will send your underwear flying!
Highlights of Our Seventh Anniversary
Seven years ago this last Sunday (March 18th), Kevin and I were married on a beautiful clear blue March day, at the beginning of my college spring break, so we could go snowboarding for a week on our honeymoon. Good times, I tell you, and they’ve only gotten better, and I’m sure they’ll continue to get better, seeing that I’ll be able to go snowboarding again. 😉
Here are some highlights to our celebratory day:
-waking up to a smiling and happy hubby
-looking at wedding pictures with Drew, who kept asking, “Where am I?”
-taking “a shower” 😉
-hopping in the car as fast as we can to make it up to Glenwood on time
-hanging out with the kids at a park, waiting for Gramma and Papa
-taking Drew in the absolutely disgusting port-a-potty at the park
-finding knight costumes for the boys at Target, while waiting for Gramma and Papa
-leaving the boys with Gramma and Papa
-driving up to Aspen, just me and Kev
-walking around Aspen in uncomfortable clogs, looking for the Hard Rock Cafe, for an hour
-settling for Boogies Diner and ordering some greasy, but yummy, onion rings and coffee flavored milkshakes
-driving back to Glenwood anticipating a romantic dinner at Fins
-laughing at my hubby whose wasabi (with seared ahi) had snuck up on him unexpectedly
-enjoying our twin-tailed lobsters
-heading back to Gramma and Papa’s to pick up the boys
-hanging out with Sir Hootenanny and Sir Diaper at Gramma and Papa’s
-getting to eat some of my mom’s homemade and crispy chocolate chip cookies (Kev likes ’em chewy, so they are never crispy at my house, which is actually the way that I like them.)
-Feeling really content and blessed that I have a handsome knight in shining armor, family and life.
I Need a Brain Transplant
Well, there are a million thoughts swirling around in my head and several partially composed posts. I don’t know if any of them will come out. (Why am I never able to remember these things once I open my computer?) I think I had wanted to write about this a while back, but didn’t (or if I did, sorry for the repeat, I’m too lazy to check if I did.) I think I’m having creativity blockages due to outstanding projects that need to be done around the house.
For example, I have a huge filing project I’ve needed to do now for ages, I’m thinking at least a whole nine months, if not more. (I’m moving two over-packed drawers to four drawers and weeding out unneeded papers, and creating a better filing system all at once.) I also have about 10,000 (yes, I’m not exaggerating) photos on my iPhoto program that need to be backed up. (Maybe that will make the program not run so painfully slow!) And of course, I have appointments to schedule, closets to clean, clothes to sort out, craft cabinets to re-organize, and then there’s all the fun stuff I “need” to do like knitting, drawing, sewing and re-vamping my blog. In the midst of all this, hubby and I are having our 7th anniversary this Sunday, he has a show with on Friday night, and we’re trying to plan for a little vacation in April to go see my sister (and squeeze in a Mutemath show, of course!) So, that is why I think the thoughts in my head are just not being able to come out in a co-herent (to anyone but me) manner. And since I know that things will really never calm down, I better figure out a way to make them come out or I will be mentally constipated. Any body have any words of advice for this?
