another one bites the dust

i in fact finished this 700 page book in less than the time allowed by my local library.

when i was checking it out i thought to myself.... i will never be able to finish this. i was completely forgetting that it is juvenile literature, that half of the week i spend at least a couple of hours awake in the middle of the night, and that i have very little else going on as i wait for baby #3.... and i always enjoy a good adventure story no matter how tedious and long winded i think his battle scenes can get. also, some of the "history" in this episode got a bit... whatever... having to do with the dragons power tied in with the elves history and blah, blah, blah. it is a good thing that i don't feel compelled to run out and finish up this series because the fourth installation is not out yet. of course, i will read it when i does come out.... but i can wait.

and just to clarify....it does make for good middle of the night reading!

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...
