Wow, it’s hard to imagine. I deleted it and then asked for it back and am really glad I did. I like being able to “BlogThis!” at any given moment. I’m sure blogging will get slow in the new year or maybe not. Who knows?

I’m at the point in this pregnancy where I am looking forward to having another child to care for. I think about how it will be to care for another newborn (I really do love that phase), how I’m going to lose weight, how I’m going to keep up with things, how life -in general- will go and just how things will change. But, when I think about it I’m thrown back to knowing that we have been blessed thus far and the blessings won’t stop. Sure it’ll get hard along the way but when is life not hard?

Here’s to another year of blogging; no matter where life takes me!

“I want you to take me to a junkyard so I can find some stuff so that I can make a big robot!”

:::giggle:::

“Are you laughing at me?”

“No baby, I just saw a funny picture on the screen.”

“Oh. OK. So, you’ll do that for me on the day after I turn eight?”

“Sure.”

“Really, you’ll take me to the junk yard after I turn eight?”

“We’ll see.”

“Well, that can just be my birthday present from you because I really want to make a cool robot out of junk. OK?”

“Ok, baby.”

“Someday I’m going to go to a junkyard and find some stuff and make cool toys and I’ll open up a store to sell them.”

“What will you call this store?”

“The Cool JUNKtion.”

“Wow, that’s a cool idea!”

“See, told ya it was a cool junktion!”

Why do children feel that the best times to call their mother is when they are on the toilet or on the phone. I swear, it’s not until I sit on the shitter or until I get on the phone with someone and I actually NEED to hear what they are saying, they chirp like the world is ending or the roof is caving in.

Ugh. It’s BEYOND aggrevating.
