Back To School and Myself

We have started the new home school year. Yes I realize I am nuts. No need to point out the obvious people. So far, so good. I am enjoying the more free schooling we have adapted for this year. Fits my personality better. And we all know, if mama ain't happy.....

So it goes. Another year to begin. I am not sure what it is about this time of the year. But I like it. The weather is cooler already. It is as if with fall comes a new chapter in life. Or just as the leaves change, so does your view. A new beginning if you will.

I hate to admit this out loud, but having the baby hit me harder than I expected. Everyone said that adding number three was seamless. Once you have two, one more is no big deal. Either they lied or I am a freak. Because it kicked my arse. I think I am just now coming out of the baby fog. And it feels good.

Do not get me wrong. I love the little guy. But it has not been easy. Mostly on my mind. Which as anyone who knows me can attest to, is not all there anyway. So when you are not playing with a full deck to begin with......you get the picture.

I think Mark is glad to see me back in the land of the living. It was almost as if I was going through the motions the last few months. In survival mode.

Want to know how I know I am back? When I can paint my nails again. Or actually when I CARE to paint them again. I love to paint my fingernails. I have since I was 12 or 13. Do not know why. It is just one of my things. So I know I have returned to Abby when I am whipping out the paint polish and stocking up on new polish at Target. And guess what? My nails have been painted for the last 2-3 weeks.

I AM BACK! And I missed me too.

Welcome back!

I think it takes a lot of adjustment with each one. I want more babies, but I don't want that period of adjustment after.

Homeschooling will officially start for us in a year I guess. Every time I think about it I get a little terrified!

WOOHOO!! Sounds like we need to take a girls weekend to the lake to celebrate...and I think Annie is right we should have wine, and cheese, and warm bread and then nap by the lake. And celebrate who we are and then swap fiction chick lit books. ; ) Love ya-Kiki

Ah yes, a wine and cheese night sounds just right. You're not alone Abby. It was much more difficult for me the third time, also. I think it's been harder on the rest of the family, too. But, we're here and we're having fun, for the most part. Wait, I hear some blood-curdling screems from upstairs...

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...
