Is anyone else getting sucked into this little online game as much as I am? Not that I have time for it, but still... Maybe it's because raising these critters is easier than...lower than them, just to make noise, and only after hand-clapping didn't work). Now they're screaming at each other in a tree down the street, but hopefully Peo won't hear through her closed window

While you’re thinking about your favorite childhood books, let me take a few moments to share with you why October is INSANE, and some of the things I’ve done lately that have prevented me from getting...with us tomorrow. (OH SHIT! Visitors!). All that said, this is why I’ve been busy. Not to mention the full-time job and everything. So see you around when I recover from the Pumpkin Torture and all that

Where does all this poop come from? He's barely eaten anything today or last night. Maybe I'm making it seem like he's pooping more than he is. But I see what he ate; I think he's pooping more than...bathtub, too. enough poop talk. Just kidding. I wouldn't do that to anyone. Yet. Actually, I should make an icon. haha! Now I've just got to get the best picture or maybe make a collage:

Spoke too soon . Nate was home sick again yesterday, and he's staying home today, too. He just feels yucky and whiney and generally blah. Poor kid.

I have been away a lot lately, spending weekends in Brisbane working on various projects. Canon has been running a photography competition and I spent a weekend with Hailey working on my entries. Priya... you know I love your pudge and I think it's cute. Plus, it's kinda like a third boob". I don't think I can tell you how much I love that boy. Or how mortally embarrassing that statement was

So my boyfriend and I just found out we were expecting. I'm 5 weeks exactly.. due July 2nd. We were talking last night about what we were going to do once Baby was born.. We're thinking of getting married...added onto his insurance and stay at home with Baby. So I guess the question is, who is planning on being a SAHM and who is planning on going back to work, and what is the reasoning behind your decision

I haven't posted in quite a while so thought I'd share an update. I'm going to make them into cuts because there's a lot to tell!   Jared is doing well.  He loves being in the Army and I'm so proud...Prozac I was taking.  I'm feeling much more optimistic again, and more like my old self.  Thanks to all of my wonderful friends who have buoyed me up during these dificult times.  I love you all!  .

O.k., so it looks like it is a sure thing that hubby should be home in time for Thanksgiving.  His relief is there now...and the turnover process has begun.  I keep getting asked about his "return date"...to the chain." Her eyes got really big.  Kinda puts things in perspective, you know. We have come a long way.  I just need to stop whining, put on my big girl panties...and deal with the rest of it ;

...forward to it by planning all the things I could do once the boy got settled into college. I turned the focus of heart and mind to my Emperor, because, like kaya pointed out one time or another, the parenting part of one's life is usually far shorter than the marriage part. Except for me, it no longer is. My time as an active parent is odds on to be far longer than my time as His wife. Teenagers...
