Again, it feels strange to share my thoughts with the world (or at least to my 3 readers), but sometimes I can’t resist. This might sound strange, but most of the time I am thinking in written words. Yes, like some whose second language is English will be thinking in Spanish and then translating to English—I think in written word and translate to spoken word (and most times not as eloquently as I feel I could have written it!). It’s really odd. So I know that I must write… Here’s my problem (…

I don't feel like writing a novel today. :) This is my short, sweet, quick plug for Hanna Handersson. (no, I don't work there, no I'm not making any profit off of saying this!). I was thinking today, and the other day, my favorite baby clothes in the whole wide world are Hannna Andersson clothes. They last through more sizes than other clothes.

6:30 (or was it a little later today?) he kissed me goodbye, and I can’t remember what else we talked about. I fell back asleep.

7:15 Snoozed long enough, time to wake up! Went out to bonus room, where Kaleb and Isaac were quietly watching Curious George in the dark. Gave the boys hugs, told them it’s going to be a GREAT day! Noah was… Continue

Why is it that Mondays are always rough? ALWAYS? Maybe it's the laundry pile, since it's always biggest on Monday. Maybe it's the lack of sleep over the weekend. Maybe (and I think this is it) the fact that daddy is at work and the kids find new and wonderful ways to challenge mommy? Well, can't really solve that problem. Daddy has to go to work. Hmmmm...

It wasn't even an extremely bad day with Noah. Didn't have any mood issues with him, didn't have to do a holding time, only had 1…
