love the city/hate the city

where does one find glue sticks for a mini-glue gun in this neighborhood? where can i get some buttons for a craft project? how can i get to target to get one more packet of christmas paper to mail out my christmas letters with a toddler and a belly the size of a house? all of the frustrations of living in brooklyn without a car......

answers:
glue sticks - save on fifth (a local version of a mini-target...sort of). they have everything one could need on a daily basis from shipping boxes, christmas decorations, cake pans, and light bulbs.
buttons - have not found yet.... still hunting. may have to call in the overnight express from california.
target - you take the bus and then take a car service home and load up on diapers, toilet paper, and just now realize you forgot paper towels -ARGH!!!!

there are frustrations, but then again - i got someone to drive me home....door-to-door service; he even carried my bags to the door. then i walked around the corner to hit my tot-yoga class with micah. all of this after walking to breakfast over scones & coffee and a little pastry shop with dad before he had to go to work a whole 7 blocks from our house. yes, there are some frustrations but then again, i love it here.

(maybe because we didn't have a stroller and didn't have to carry anyone!!)

and we will be out numbered....

as of monday, i am through my first trimester with sweet baby #3. the sweet children will out number the adults come the beginning of march. as john likes to comment about my day to day coping skills, "her body is betraying her" as i adjust to pregnancy and surviving with two small children. i still can't find our flash drive to upload pictures....i'll work on it. it requires clearing off the computer desk which exists in the middle of the living room due to the plaster/drywall work being done to patch up the hole from the toilet leak. supposedly the new hardwood floors are supposed to arrive this week.....which means we could potentially move out of the office and back into our bedroom in a couple of weeks!!! the small pleasures in life!

more tidbits

i find it interesting....... .......how the two boys are in sync already. apparently we had not weathered the worst of operation big boy-no paci....he cried for almost an hour. what we thought would be an early bedtime was not....then asher (who was supposed to sleep until 2) woke up at midnight only to be followed by big brother 10 minutes later "scared." .......how 20 & 30 years olds (including myself) walk around the locker room delicately covered up by the towel that is slightly too small to cover my rumpus..... and yet the 50 & 60 years old strut around with no shame. nora ephron claims that the things that we things we hate about out bodies in our 20s will be the things we long for in our 50s. funny how that works...maybe i'll lose my abandon and sit in the sauna naked as a jaybird..... naw!!! .......how fun sitting on the kitchen counter while daddy cooks is for a two year old. .......how much i want to cut my hair. .......how excited i am to have gott...
