I’m so busy I sit

I love when there’s so much to get done that I just sit down and ignore it all. 

I don’t really love that about me.

Generally, a deadline or time pressure is totally motivating for me, and maybe that’s the problem.  Most of what I need to get done doesn’t have to be done for another 4 hours, or til tomorrow morning, so I’ve just got lots of time.

Yeah. Keep telling yourself that, self.

Tomorrow the girls and I are heading up north a little bit to spend some time with a dear family who we really miss, though we’ve only officially met in person one time.  Maybe that’s weird to you, but it makes total sense.  I’m very much looking forward to it.  But packing these girls up for a few days requires ALOT of work and organization.  I like to go places, so I’m totally up for the task, and yet I’m stalled out right now just wanting to sit and enjoy the quiet of the house at the moment.  Call it a mental health moment.

I have the laundry partially done. The kitchen is partially cleaned. The girls are partially napping. (Braska’s in the playroom, Kinlee’s asleep.)  I like to leave things straightened up when I leave so I don’t come back to a mess, compounded by all the unloading that happens upon return from a trip.  And this house could use days worth of scrubbing and scraping, but straight will have to do for now.

A nap sounds nice.  Then again, I have so much I’m behind on blogging.  I’ve missed so many milestones with both girls, and I hate that.  Blog traffic has slowed to a ridiculous crawl because there’s not anything interesting to read around here, I guess.

Not that this post is helping THAT!

And Maggie—I haven’t forgotten you. I’m just horrible!

So to start the ball rolling (tee hee…right, honey?) I’ll get off my hind quarters and dive back in.  Braska needs to get to nap, and then I’ll tackle some more laundry.  The kitchen will probably have to wait til tonight after the girls go to bed, so I can do a decent job.  And packing…well, maybe we’ll do that when they get up from nap.

Here I go.  I’m getting back to it.  See? I’m putting the computer down. I’m almost standing up. Maybe I should stop typ

    Remember, in the famous and wise words of Brother-in-law Ethon, "the Second Mouse gets the cheese".

    So relax a bit more. And then...

    What's funny is, I called you this morning to ask you to do a favor for me and after I listened to what you had going on, I decided against it because I know you would have added it to your already busy schedule.

    Teehee, I actually listened to the voice of reason for once.

31 for 21: What to say

I have encountered plenty of people who ask "How old is she?" when Braska and I are out together here and there. They always guess her age about 5 months younger than she is, but that's ok, since that's what size she is. I have said several times that I can imagine it will bother me a bit more, although still not a huge deal, when she turns one next month and I see their reaction to that, as she still is in her car seat/carrier when we're in a restaurant or in a store since she doesn't sit up. Today, I met some friends for brunch. The waitress was a nice enough, very young girl, and she started cooing at Braska right away. That's nice. I don't mind, Braska likes the attention, and I'm proud of my cutie. The waitress asked her age, and I told her 11 months. She then said, "But she's not walking yet?" as she noticed that she was up to the table in her car seat/carrier. I just agreed and said, "Not yet." She said she h

Little call, big letters

This will make more sense to you DS moms and families out there... I apologize for the cryptic nature, but you'll have to trust my reasoning. Braska had a lab draw on Tuesday last week. The GI called me Wednesday and said there were some significantly elevated levels in the results. Ok fine. Not like we've never had an abnormal lab. But then he used *those* words...the C word and the L word. Said he'd be talking to hem/onc. We needed to go redraw on Friday morning. We didn't freak or anything, but when I hung up the phone, I thought, "Wow, so that's what it's like the first time they mention it." We took her for her draw again on Friday morning, and we figured everything was fine since we got no call over the weekend. Yesterday I checked in with them. Dr. R confirmed that everything was clear, almost in a "weird way," but they checked with the lab to make sure it was a viable result. All is well. Follow up in 6 months as usual unle

Can I get a do-over?

If you are in need of a laugh at another's expense, I invite you to read on... really, it's totally ok. I can take it. This might end up long, but I wanna remember this special day. Oh so special... Today is my first day to have both girls and be on my own. Yeah, it's been two weeks, but I'm apparently slow at learning how to deal with this kind of thing. I knew it would be a challenge, but I thought with starting way early, we could make it. The quick ending is that we did make it...but that's not really the whole story. Kinlee's been sleeping til about 9 am or so after getting up twice in the night. That's ok, I'm dealing with it. But since Braska is supposed to be at school at 10 am on Mondays, I thought I better not sleep in like I prefer, and instead, I should get up and get things moving earlier to be sure we're on time. Not a problem, since Braska decided to be up twice last night in addition to Kinlee's two times. One time overlapped...so
