Update

First, I put in pictures of the kids room after it got picked up. Looks much nicer now.

Second, my mom commented that they looked cramped up there. Let me assure anyone that it is more about having too much stuff. To see how much space they are sharing I found the house layout with the square footage. Anyone care to guess how much square footage my kids are being shoved into? I will put then answer in the comments for this post.

And if you think it is unfair that they share this amount of space..........I am not sure what to think.

Ready for this?

My kids are sharing a room with a square footage of......324 square feet. The room measures 13 x 23 feet. Along with the 5 feet by 5 feet alcove (Emma's, they put the other in with the main measurements).

Your house reminds me so much of our old farmhouse. You're making me miss it.

And cramped? We Americans today are so spoiled with space. We live in a roughly 1800 sq. ft. house, and sometimes it seems so big as to be unmanageable. Then again, we do all sleep in one room. But still, I was ready to sell it and move into a motor home this summer.

I'm jealous of the shower. I've had 2 weddings and 3 kids and only 2 showers in all of that, and they were both for my first wedding. Well, there was a shower for Samantha, but it was held in Missouri while I was in Alaska, so I got gifts but not the fun. If shower's are fun. Then again, with my family, maybe I'm glad there were no showers.

3 weeks? Good luck! Scheduled c right? What date? Only asking because my daughter and step-daughter's birthdays are the first two days of November.

Sometimes There Are No Words

Last night I met a new friend. Let me preface this by saying I have made exactly ONE new friend in the last ten years. This makes number two. My Babycenter and Blogging friend Amanda , was having a conference in KC. We made plans to meet up. I felt a bit odd. Here I was making plans to meet someone I only knew from the Net. But Mark thought it was perfectly great and even said for me to stay out as long as I wanted. He said it was not as if I was meeting up with someone I saw often. Stay out and talk and have fun. So I did. I made plans to meet with Amanda. I knew we had a lot in common. Both from the board and from reading her blog. I knew she was someone who if she lived closer to me we could hang out. But I was a bit apprehensive. Here was someone who only knew me through the computer. So many what if's , right? Mark was actually the one who said I should meet with her, if only for a little while. So, I picked Amanda up at her hotel and off we went to Fooleries. Great place to ...

Why Choose It?

Judy posted a comment about being jealous at two weekends away from the kids. About how she figured it would be a long time before she got that chance. I have to admit, I thought better her than me to have the new baby. After our two weekends away and Mark joking that it was his ploy to convince me to not have anymore, I have to say.....I think it worked. After thinking about it and being able to get away so easily because the kids are bigger, I could not help but think, why go back and do it all again? If you had a choice between going out of town for the weekend or being stuck, tied down to a newborn who was feeding from your breasts every two hours and waking every three ,which would you choose? To which one might say why ever have kids at all.....fine. I have TWO. I have done it TWICE. Not only that, but for anyone who cares about it, I have one of each. One is almost seven, the other almost three. Granted Davis is not potty trained yet, but he does change his own diaper sometimes...
