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.

Welcome, Little One

Both mommy and baby are doing very well. These are just a few from earlier today. More to follow later.

And Just Like That.....

I made the fatal mistake of reading reviews and articles before watching a single episode of the show.  I knew full well I would watch every episode regardless.  I read anyway.  Spoilers? Not bothered.   Let me give some back story here.   At 17/18 my dream had been to go to a big city (Chicago was my thinking at the time), get my degree in journalism/editing/publishing and go work at a big time magazine.  Keep in mind we are talking about the mid 90's here so the idea that magazines would cease to be relevant was not even on my radar.  I had been editor of my high school yearbook and unbeknownst to me at the time, we were actually doing the yearbook by coding and would get printouts hoping we had coded copy correctly.  I just typed the copy I was supposed to type with the weird little codes that had been given to me on a piece of paper.  I would later discover this was actually HTML code we were doing.  Who knew?  This fu...

I Need A Break Before *I* Break

Damn.  There is so much swirling around in my little brain.....So. Much. I am getting ready to enter my most personally difficult time of the year.  Emotionally.  I am also entering my most difficult semester (and LAST!) of college.  Oh, and trying to train for another half marathon.  There are many days as of late that I am not sure how I'm doing it or even why at times.  I am trying to keep it together, trying to keep a balance.  But sometimes I am not sure I am doing so well.  With so many plates to juggle, even if they are ceramic plates, I often feel as though I am dropping one (or more).   I am trying to figure out what I want in life.  What is important to me.  What I need versus what I want.  And how it all fits together with various parts of my life.  I'm learning that sometimes what you think is important is not so much and things that you didn't pay much mind to are actually more importan...
