Hopscotch

N has this fascination with Hopscotch(s). She lugs all her books out of her room....which I have spent weekly (cuz this really is a weekly event) putting away - by height, cuz I'm anal that way......

she then makes a row from her room, down the hallway, into the living room, around the living room, back behind the couch, to the door, around the doorway area, back to connect it to the hallway.....and then proceeds to walk/jump on it for about 3 min.

but it stays there all day --- incase she just happens to get the notion, to "jump" again.

{sigh}.....and I'm having a 3rd?

9 days left

Finally a change in "pressure" there's a storm brewing outside -- is today the day?

I'm having contractions finally, good ones -- is today the day?

I have the "knife" pain - again no matter the position -- is today the day?

DOUBTFUL

absolutely doubtful

ah to be a big, huge, waddling, can stand longer than 5 min - kind of gal.....well at least my legs are shaved.....there's an improvement.

12 weeks!!

How much do ya just want to tickle them toes???

Way way cute!!

and here "HE" -- i'm demanding it's a boy is looking inside:

And then there was 3

So in all the hub bub of the pregnancy I never thought about blogging it - yikes!

So here I am - kinda scared of the idea of three -- once you are set in motion with a schedule, then here comes number 3 and let's refigure everyhing in our lives - yikes.

How will we fit in our car?

Where will the lil' one sleep?

How will I handle running one to school and another w/ a feeding schedule?

Will I loose my mind? - ok that's a given.

So another change is my Blog name and photo -- when creating this I liked the name Life with 2....do I now change it to Life with 3? Life with 2+ ?

hmmm decisions......

ok then there's the photo issue - LOVED the hand holding....so i found this:

But...I'm not fond of the "not human" thing....hmmmm ideas/decisions?.....oh what to do???

another:

I don't know - what do you think?

For Sale

Who needs a 3 bedroom home?
Apparently not us!
Around 2 am in the morning - our children - ones we brought into the world sleep walk, lingering to, our bedroom - with pieces of their own bed - sleeping on our floor!

So I vote let's sell the house and get a onebedroom - Then we can take the extra money and vacation from the linger"ers" that wander through the hallowed halls at 2 am.

ah, what was adulthood before parenthood? - quiet.

an alien in my home...

Dictionary.com has this for the first 2 definitions of Alien...
al·ien /ˈeɪlyən, ˈeɪliən/ Pronunciation Key - Show Spelled Pronunciation[eyl-yuhn, ey-lee-uhn] Pronunciation Key - Show IPA Pronunciation
–noun
1.
a resident born in or belonging to another country who has not acquired citizenship by naturalization (distinguished from citizen).
2.
a foreigner.


There is a being in my home now, something i swore i would never allow in my home, with my children, or even have them aware of it. Now their innocence was taken awhile ago - but misteriously they never ask about IT while we are in the confines of our safe home.

Zipping through the channels of the tv, i paused (unaware of what i was doing) over one of the channels that introduced this Alien to my children, or more so to my home.

The Big Purple Dino That Sings And Dances -- is now a staple in the Ganiere Home --- my little innocent children even asked if I would DVR it --- this is such a sad day for me.

Celebrities of my Life...

I'm old enough to remember deaths of celebrities, P. Di for instance was of my generation, another being Mother Teresa. Since I was born in 1977 - I guess Elvis is part of that too - though never really new much of him, nor John Lennon which was another big deal around my birth.

Other celebrities have been more of a "huh, I've seen a few of their movies but they were never a need to see"

Then there's Heath Ledger -- His death actually stunned me, a bit. I use this pic cuz it is my favorite movie of his - I'm a huge Renn. fan.

Even though there is still so much NoOne knows -- he is missed, whether it was OD or accident or suicide --- missed you will be.
~ and it's sad to erase you from my top 5 list (see Friends episode)
