Brief Update

You would think I don't think about blogging anymore. But au contraire mon ami, I think about it all the time. When I get a brief second, I'm able to check some blogs from my iphone. Really. Without it I would be lost to the world. I'm never on the computer at home anymore and I'm so consumed with work lately I'm lucky to even get to eat the full 30 minutes I'm alotted for lunch time.

Let me just say that things have changed A LOT these last couple of weeks. Both physically and mentally. Physically: my belly is huge. I don't remember looking 6 months pregnant at nearly 5 months. And I don't remember being slightly uncomfortable or not sleeping because of the baby. We are renovating the bathroom and it's taking longer than expected. . . because I'm waiting on Michael. So tonight I hung up my hat and decided it's time to take a break. Emotionally: I feel like a train wreck. My hormones get the best of me. I didn't get a job I interviewed for but am realizing now that deep down inside it's probably for the best. And since I don't sleep anymore I'm irritable, tired, and grumpy all the time. I don't even like being around myself.

Even more things seemed to have "happened" with the kids... Madison broke her arm trying to get out of the crib. Let me just clarify here. On Michael's watch not mine! And James' asthma has been flaring up like a mutha'. Which means more sleepless nights and staying awake/waking up to give him breathing treatments as frequent as 1hr.

Life is busy. And blogging, although in the back of my mind, never hits the keyboard. From the moment I wake up at 5am to the moment I put James to bed 9pm it's just a go-go-go kind of day. If it's not errands after work, it's trips to the park, taking James out to ride his bike, or something fun for the kids while the weather is still nice.

Once the bathroom is done I am looking forward to saturday morning hikes with the kids. I love that James is old enough to be able to do bigger boy things. It gives me something to look forward to that as one person put it - being in the trenches of motherhood - that while difficult and exhausting it is equally if not more rewarding.

An added bonus and the light at the end of the tunnel this week, I get this Friday off work. Yay! And since Mike is now working from home, I am looking for something to fill up our morning. Let me know if you have any ideas or if anyone is planning to go anywhere... zoo? museum? etc!
