re-entry is rough

.... but who knew it would be like this.
after a 14 hour drive yesterday in our new mini-van (thanks to giving up cable, a car loan, and other cutback in our household)..... i knew today would be difficult. especially since we had to put the boys room back together. my husband sanded and stained the hardwood floors in their room. he also made more progress on their bunkbeds.... to be completed today. both look awesome!!!

little did i know that today would consist of:
  • one allergy attack in the parking lot of the grocery.
  • one suppository for one non-pooping infant.
  • one rocking session for one toddler that has not happened in over a year because he could not calm himself to get to sleep.
  • one night without a baby in my room.... all children have been moved to the kids room (plus the addition of the monitor which has also not been used in about three years. i never used it with little bit).
  • one bottle of wine for mommy and daddy to settle us down after this mania of a day.

i'll post pics soon of the vacation and all the fun that we had in tennessee where there was NO internet or cell phone service.... it was awesome!!! including my husband jumping from a 40 foot cliff..... he almost did the 60 foot but thankfully decided it was too high. phew!

it is almost good to be home!

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...
