Little stories.  And a life story.


We gals have lots of thoughts, don't we? I'm bored with my routine. I love my routine and require it in order to be happy. Am I being noticed? Is this all in vain? What should I do with my life? Am I a good mother? Am I a good spouse? Will I ever find a spouse? Why doesn't God listen to me? Uh oh, God gave me exactly what I asked for. Can I survive on cheddar cheese? Why do we have to eat broccoli? I should eat more edamame. I'd like some new jeans. I wish my old jeans still fit. Oh how I long for a baby. Pregnancy sucks. How do you keep toddlers out of the dogs' water dish? What will my life look like in 5 years?

This website will probably provide zero answers. But as we ask the questions and laugh at our insanity as these complex answers elude us, perhaps we'll find some common ground. I hope you'll hang.
One thing is certain. In 5 years it will be a different day. Will it be the kind you want?

I've thought about or attempted to write this blog about 34 times now.  Then I hear things like, "Mama, wah pway golf wiff me?"  Who can resist that?  So I ditch the blog for toy golf, and sometimes baseball.  Finley puts a white hat on backwards, whacks one of my ace nerf pitches, and runs around imaginary bases, which circle the island in the kitchen.  It's way fun.

What's daily life like with a 2-year old and one that's almost 9 months?  Here are some highlights.  If you have more, please share.
