a little worse for the wear


things i learned about traveling.....

it is not the plane ride that is so hard; it is the time change. it took the full week for us to get adjusted.... translation: for micah & asher to stop waking up at 5am thinking that it was morning.... just in time for us to come home three days later.

also, the beach in april is beautiful but not warm.

don't leave your ipod on the plane.

you shouldn't leave your dvd in the rental vcr when you check-out.

portable dvd players are awesome!!!

dogs are great entertainment for two year olds.... both my siblings have one.

my sister is a great entertainer.... she kept micah perfectly content during a two hour dinner at a VERY nice california coastal restaurant.

malls are not the nicest places for "honorary celebratory" dessert functions. (my mom's award ceremony for teacher of the year)

it is really cool when your middle school principal remembers you.

it is really good to get home....even when there is mouse poop on the counter & termite bugs in the entry way.

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...
