This is becoming my oh so very once in a while blog. At first (4 years ago?) I said I would write in it monthly, then I stopped for (4 years?) and then in May I decided to start again (ok, just one post) and now I'm saying, how about quarterly? That sounds doable (is that a word?).
I was thinking that my life would be a lot closer to perfect if at least 2 out of my 3 children would just go the *blank* to sleep without an hour of cajoling, shushing, milk-warming, and returning to bed-ing. Because, we can still pay our mortgage, our children are healthy and happy, there is no dachshund poop on our kitchen floor, I have a job that I'm excited to go to (and only 2-3 days/week!), my husband is still enjoying his job (and still has a job!) and we are, even though the above about the 2 out of 3 kids not sleeping is true, still married after 12.5 years! So, I have much to be thankful for. Sometimes it's hard to be a parent though.
Reasons to be thankful, 12/12/11:
Frog and Toad
A clear, cold, December dawn
The Springfield AND the Eugene public libraries
Pre-school
Mittens

Long time
Wow, it's been, like, forever and a house and a baby ago since I last made a blog entry! I was inspired to maybe start up again by a blog I happened upon by a college student in Iowa which is so funny and he really doesn't talk about anything or have any particular interests except getting drunk every weekend so I thought, I can do that!
Just a quick note to say that I've been a stay at home mom now for 10 months(!!) and I have some very good days, and some not so good days. Today was a not so good day. Usually I don't even know why I have the not so good ones. I even slept ALL NIGHT last night (as the baby, who usually wakes around 2am, did not) but somehow felt tired anyway. Then the weather was frustrating with the sun peaking out every now and again before the black clouds would return and start drizzling rain again. Then my son was crabby but wouldn't take a nap even though I laid in the "race car bed" with him for 20 minutes while the baby ate lint and bits of foam out of the carpet and my 6 year old played with my iPod touch which I now cannot find! But I think tomorrow might be a better day and this weekend will hopefully be fun as I will be going with my husband and baby (leaving the older two behind with grandma!) to the thriving metropolis of Milton-Freewater for a wedding. Yeah!
