The Difference A Year Makes

Now this entry was written not quite a year ago. It was October 20 to be exact. The difference? Well read it yourself.

Been there. And just like you, had another! It's worth it. I am grateful that she "happened". You'll never regret having another baby, but you may have regretted NOT having one.

Hope you're feeling well!

Oh, Abby, that is TOO funny!

Well, I've been all over the place on how many kids I wanted, when, etc. The funny thing is when I was a little girl, I said I wanted 6, and had them names (but don't like those names anymore), 3 of each. So far, between us, Eric and I have 4 (2 of "ours," and 1 each prior), and 2 of each sex. We think we want two more, someday, so I may end up with my 6 kids after all.

And you're still young, and there will be lots of weekends away. Heck, before long your daughter can babysit for the younger ones, right? LOL

I am doing fine, thanks! And this one was planned, it only happened way sooner than I expected due to my past struggles.

Judy, if we have more, it will be ONE more. I would wait another 3 years before trying again, putting all the kids almost 4 years apart. I would be having the last one around 35. And that would be the end. So we would have a 12 yo, 8 yo, 4 yo and newborn. SCARY.

I do however have a niece that is already almost 15. So she can be hit up for sitting duty. And my sister is not old either, though older than me obviously with a 14 yo child. She is really good about taking on more kids (she has 3).

But yea, 35 would be the end. I am closing shop after that.

Aww; that was so nice of you to say that Kiki wasn't old...36 probably sounds old to some but I do not feel old. Thanks for saying that we are pretty good at rolling with extra kids - we do what we can. And as long as you are not opposed to this little sweet pea being in Huggies when she is at Kiki's you and Mark just head out when you can schedule it. ; ) Love you guys, Kiki

Oh gosh, I guess I'd better not write any posts about how we think we're "done".

How are you feeling?

I'll Do It Better In My Next Thirty years

Today is doomsday. At 9:05 a.m on this very day thirty years ago my mother gave birth to me. I have done the "Holy crap, where did the years go?" I have done the "When did *I* get so freaking old?" I have cried and been mad and upset. I have looked at my life and realized it was NOT what I thought it would be at thirty. In both good and bad ways. I have run the gamut, so to speak and frankly now I am worn completely out. I am done. I went through getting old sucks . I spent time reminiscing about Swatch watches from back in the day. I have shed tears over my babies not being babies anymore . I tired to stop thirty from coming and realized that it was inevitable. I even got my friends to realize that we are indeed getting old. So today, as I move on in life and have to start checking a new box on forms, I still stand by my very first post on getting older. I think Tim McGraw has it right. My Next Thirty Years I think I'll take a moment, celebrate my age The en...

It Is Official...

I am now officially a participant in the NaBloPoMo . What is this you ask? It is an alternative to National Novel Writing Month, otherwise known as, NaNoWriMo . The goal of NaNoWriMo is to write a 50,000 word novel during the month of November. Since I lack focus, which some like to call adult ADD, there is no way I could do that. So, enter NaBloPoMo. Besides sounding funnier, it is a much more doable thing for me. The goal of this? Post an entry to my blog every day for the entire month of November. You heard it folks. You will be blessed with some random something from me EVERY DAY for the ENTIRE month of November. I am even on the Official List. I am, really. You can go look. Now you may be asking yourself how you got so lucky. And I can not give you the answer to that. All I can say is that you can look forward to me rambling about basically nothing for the whole month. So sit back and enjoy the ride. Now, if I could only figure out how the hell to put up my button and get it to hy...
