Frazzled, Fried and Crying Over Spilled Milk


we made it to California but not without certain casualties along the way…mainly personal.

Friday night…. in the midst of making my mental list of things to get accomplished for the following day, I sat to watch tlc’s what not to wear…my new personal addiction. in the course of sitting to veg, I pumped. I sat, situated the attachments, and began the milking process. I love pumping…. not really. I actually hate it. it is the one reason I look forward to weaning. as the process began I could feel the “let down.” for those who are not mom’s I won’t got into any more detail than that…it just isn’t necessary. back to the let down….

CRAP, CRAP, CRAP!!!

liquid gold was dropping all over my freshly washed jammies (for those who read this, you know what an idol clean clothes is simply due to the complicated manner in which I do laundry).

I had completely forgotten to attach the bottle to the nursing attachments. it took a full minute for me to realize it… of course after the “let down” so the milk was flowing.

I was so frazzled that it actually took me a moment to figure out exactly what to do…

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!

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...
