New blog

If my horoscope was ever right about anything, it's that us Leos have big ideas and short attention spans. I have decided I'm tired of posting to my Yahoo group & thought I'd give blogger another try. I had a page almost exactly a year ago - right after we found out I was pregnant - and at the time we had dial-up that wouldn't cooperate, so I gave it up & forgot about it.

My Yahoo group was great during the pregnancy, but now that the babies are here it's not as much fun to post anymore. I suppose it's because I (mostly) have my body back & it's not so weird being me now. I figured with this blog I'll be a little more free & just talk about my life as if whoever is reading this knows exactly who I'm talking about... kinda lazy but easier than taking the time to explain who everyone is. You'll figure it out.

I'm on vacation this week - woo hoo! It only took me 13 years to get this particular week of the year. I'm looking forward to spending lots of plain old doing nothing time with David & Zoe. Steph & I get to have a girls' day on Thursday, which happens to be her birthday. Pedicures & margaritas, I can't think of a better thing to do on a Thursday. Then on Friday - weather permitting - I'm going to Susie's house with the babies. Ambitious & maybe a little crazy, but it is going to be fun. I'm not going to be camping in the woods or anything - whatever I forget, we can go buy at Walmart. Brett thinks I'm nuts. That's ok. If I played everything safe all the time he might as well just be married to himself. Make sense? It does in my head.

My head is spinning with all kinds of things I'd like to write about. I think that means I should go to bed. Since becoming a mom I have this never-ending struggle with myself: I long for a little alone time, and the only time I get it is after everyone's gone to bed. I am tired; I should sleep. But I treasure this quiet time now like I never did before... even if it's just surfing a while & catching up on email. Then I have guilt that if I'm going to stay up late I should read my Bible, or at least read instead of surf, but then I stuff that all down & surf more anyway. And the Mommy-guilt cycle continues and then I go to bed, and wake up another day all bleary-eyed & tell myself TONIGHT I'm going to bed when everyone else does. See you tomorrow night. :)
