Sweet Boy March 30, 2008

My little 2 and a half year old monster seems to be turning a corner.  He has come to the point where he comprehends what it means to love someone or something.  It seems to have brought out a sweet side of him.

He will walk up to me and say “Mommy.  I love you.”  and just give me the sweetest smile.

Today for one of the first times he climbed up on the couch next to me and layed his head on my shoulder and just wanted to be next to me.  Wow!  It was so cool.

 Anyway…it was awesome.

Not Much To Say Lately March 30, 2008

I’ve been around but have not had much to say lately.  Not sure why.  Kind of trying to stay positive and not fall into a funk.  I realized today that Sundays are the hardest days to get through.

Its wierd because I don’t work a typical 8-5 like most so technically Fridays and fun days and Mondays don’t suck any more or less than any other days.  All I know is that by the time we get back around to Sunday I am ready to pack up the kids spontaneously and take the drive to New Orleans.  (It was a Sunday last time we did this!)

Maybe it’s because Sunday is a day for family?  Maybe because it is when most people get to rest?  Maybe because it is usually the end of the week and I know for me it means another week of doing it all…again.

Now don’t get me wrong.  I don’t mean this in a whiny, complaining way.  More analytical I guess.  I totally accept our way of life… I am just trying to figure out what makes me tick and how I can smooth the tough days.

So here we go…another week down…another to come.  Thank you to all of my friends who have offered to help me in one way or another…even when my kid pees on your couch.  Ummm, yeah.  It happened.  Go ahead.  Laugh.
