Zoe was born a year ago today.
I like to peek back on these days to see the posts of the kiddo's births. So that is what I am doing.
Weird to read back and think of the place we were in knowing where we are now. |

If I start posting a lot more often, will others too?
Not that I have that much power over you, but maybe you will be more likely to post if you see others post.
Thoughts? |

| quick update |
[Nov. 30th, 2008|04:29 pm] |
I had a ball at Margaret's Birthday party-
Only wanted to beat a few family members once or twice during our many Thanksgivings.
Had a very mellow and productive day.
Derek and Ezra are playing Wii, Zoe is exploring and eating random things.
It has been a very good day. |

| new kitchen |
[Nov. 22nd, 2008|07:08 am] |
Well- most of the new kitchen is in. The fridge sticks out about 2 feet. We have to cut some trim off the cupboards to get it to fit.
I don't like the new dishwasher- I feel the older one, which had nothing wrong with it but it was pretty much free in the bundle pack we bought, is not as good BUT something weird happened that makes it worth it in the long run:
Derek can tell you more because he was here but he hasn't posted much lately, so I will do the short version.
When they put in the new dishwasher a pipe got jiggled and poured water into our lower level. Bad, right, but the guy and my dad were able to stop it and figured out that the pipe is bad and will need to be replaced. It had nothing to do with the dishwasher instillation, - but if we had not had the dishwasher installed the pipe wouldn't have been bumped and we wouldn't have found out that the pipe was bad.
While this is bad news- we are quite glad that it all happened. Who would have known the pipe was bad till it burst? Not us! So we would have lost a lot of stuff and had major damage to the lower level had we not found it. We are having a plumber come in and fix it.
I like the rest of the stuff and will get used to the dishwasher.
Our house is a mess and we can't put it all together till we get the fridge and pipe in place. |

Rules:
*Grab the book nearest you. Right now.
*Turn to page 56.
*Find the fifth sentence.
*Post that sentence along with these instructions in your LiveJournal.
*Don't dig for your favorite book, the coolest, the most intellectual. Use the CLOSEST
"And the chessmen-Nick's king and queen-had to agree."
or
"It had to go on."
Depending on if I was to count on the sentence that started on page 55.

| Question/thoughts |
[Oct. 25th, 2008|03:49 pm] |
How does one decide on the number of children to have? I am so conflicted. It seems that people just *know*. I don't. Some days I want 2 other days 3. If we are only going to have 2 I should get rid of a ton of stuff and give it to my friends who would use them now. I should think about tying some things up.
But what if in a year I change my mind?
So my question to you: How do you know if you are done having kids?
I await your help in this. OR at least some clarity. I'm not saying you get to decide my fate, I'm just wondering what made you decide on the number you want.

I'm sad that a lot of people have stopped posting. This was my way to know what is going on in your lives. With work and kiddos it's so hard to keep up.
Maybe this is my lame attempt to guilt trip you all into posting, but mostly it is to let you know that you are missed. Your words were read. |

we are back into the grind with kids tomorrow.
I would rather work today and have Friday off. |

| I feel gross... |
[Aug. 24th, 2008|09:44 am] |
The fates were against me and sleep last night. Every member of the house woke up which woke me up. After getting up 5 times in 5 hours my body was like, "Fine, you must not really want to sleep!" so I had trouble falling back to sleep, which, since I had to get up 4 more times, doesn't really matter.
Such is life. Everyone is sick here, I am starting to get sick. Wish It could have happened about a week ago, but that's how things go.
Derek picked up a BUNCH of books & comics for a song at the soon-to-be moving DREAMHAVEN. He plans on going back next week for one last hurrah.
Work starts tomorrow.
Zoe is in the swing, Ezra is watching Kermit, Derek is fondling his comics. Life is good.
Ezra and I had a date this morning for breakfast. We have dates one on one with the kids so they feel like they get special time with each of us. Zoe doesn't really give a crap, but I like my alone times with her.
I'm watering the bushes. We lost at least 2 to the lack of rain. We didn't notice till it was too late for some. Hopefully I got to the others in time. Just rain, damn it! |

I'm a wee bit weirded out that my little one is still sleeping. Unless Derek got up and fed her, but it was my night...
DO we have a break through here? Will this be more norm? I can only dream. In a few weeks if she gets up at any time after 5:45 it will be sleeping through the night for us because we have to get up about then anyway.
I haven't been to McDonalds for almost a week. This is a new record for me. If you don't count breakfast I haven't been there for 2 or 3 weeks? I think I am fastfooded out. Is this possible? How could it be?
Zoe gets baptized on Sunday. My sister has been here since the 1st. She was driving me batty, but I didn't see her yesterday and won't today, so all is good again. I guess we have gotten to that point that we can't be near each other as much to get along. Some how that switched. We used to get along great all the time.
I better go check on the pumpkin again. |

| Betty's Pies |
[Jul. 9th, 2008|01:06 pm] |
A new restaurant opened near us called Betty's Pies. I guess there is one up north. Derek and I went in to scope it out.
First off, it is huge inside. I can't think they will ever have all the tables and booths full. They serve a full menu, not jst pie.
It was about 8:30am and we were just strollering through. I got a slice of pie and a fountain Diet Coke to go.
The pie, strawberry rhubarb, was $3.99 a slice. It was quite big and VERY good. It was a perfect, I'm eating pie before 9am, pie. It wasn't real sweet and had a crust that was almost doughy- in a good way. Man, I think I want another slice right now.
On a scale of 1 to 10, I would give it a 9.5. My only complaint is that largest to go pop was only 16 ounces.
I will be scoping out a a real meal there soon. |

I hate being sick. I have kept down a third of a 2 liter of 7up and about 3 crackers. (Thanks Mugs for the pop!) I keep thinking I'm getting better, then feel gross again.
Ezra did not nap which made him a crab ass this afternoon. I feel so bad for the little dude. I wish he could understand that if he just naps everything will be ok.
It is Robin's birthday today. YEAH! We got to hang out a bit till I went to bed. |

Little Zo-miester slept till 6:30. She went 10 and a half hours without eating. I know this isn't always going to be, but for today I am super happy. Granted, it was Derek's night... |
