oh, the comfort!

I can't wait to get home. I ordered this on Monday, which will likely mean that I need new sheets to accomodate it. I'm so excited! I just can't hide it! I'm about to lose control ... okay, enough of the digression. Seriously, folks, I can't wait to sleep tonight.

Oh jealousy, look what you've done ...

Spencer is going through a phase where his daddy is his favorite person. This isn't bad, except that when we're both home he won't play with me but he climbs all over daddy and gives him kisses. He cries when I give him kisses.

It kind of hurts my feelings.

saved by the bell (or not)

The past two nights the power has gone out in the middle of the night. I would generally relish the extra bit of sleep that I could blame on someone else, however luckily (?) both nights either Christen or I have woken up and noticed the issue before we were late. Christen woke up at 5am on Monday, reset the alarm and came back to bed. Last night, I woke up at 2:30am, noticed the blinking light and reset the clock. Now, why we don't have a battery backup in our alarm clock in this day and age I don't know. However, I can say it's a 5-year-old, $8 clock. I can't expect miracles. I would like to be able to expect more sleep though.

I wrote that on Tuesday, and Tuesday night I set my phone alarm just in case. Wouldn't you know, the power didn't go out! I don't know what I'm going to do about sleep when the clocks change.

a new start (again)

I've been thinking about changing blogs for awhile. I don't know why; I don't technically need a new start. I had been with my last blog for 22 months with 158 posts (159 once I post my last post there). My blog before that had 485 posts over 34 months. There was a good reason for the change that time. Got married, pregnant (although I didn't know I was pregnant when I changed blogs), and I had a falling out with my best friend. I started a new chapter.

I think this change is just for me. I needed a change; a new look. Something new to look at. My usual readers will hopefully follow me here. Truthfully, I don't have a lot of regular readers. Maybe the transition will help that. But I change for me.

You won't find me here.

I'm moving again. Please follow me over to wordpress! I don't know why; I just needed a change of scenery.

The fact that blogrolling has started being such a pain in the butt has probably helped me make up my mind though.

Cheers!

At first I was afraid, I was petrified ...

My son is petrified of my brother. I don't know why, and to tell you the truth I find it kind of amusing ... When he was an infant, he didn't have any problems with my brother. Now, he screams bloody murder when he's anywhere near. This is my brother.

Gangly, but not scary. It's kind of sad because he loves babies. Spencer is "toddler child" or "child thing" to him. He thinks these nicknames are funny. Would they scare you?

Monday we took my brother to Best Buy to spend his birthday money, and he sat in the back with Spencer. My sweet child was inconsolable. All Ian did was look at him, not even with a face, just normal. About a mile down the road I had to get in the back with them so he would calm down.

So sad.
