what's up?

What's been going on in our world?

* we've been spending many, many days at the pool. i still have not taken a single picture. i take that back. i've taken 2:

* we spent 4 days there last week alone. bought the season pass this year and now i feel like i can go all the time, even for a short time and it isn't a waste. cooper LOVES the water.

* i am praying to God that cooper is teething. because if he isn't i need to get on medication. i cannot handle his attitude/screaming/crying/etc.

* i have started the kids in daycare one day a week. what a blessing.

* because of daycare greg and i got a MUCH needed date last friday morning. we went out for lunch and i had the yummiest dressing i've ever eaten on a salad. mmmm... makes me want to go back for more!

* we've painted the babysitting room where i work. it's been a long couple days. but 95% of it is done. thank God.

* ellie is in rare form lately. talking back and being sassy. 4 is the hardest age EVER. (so far)

* we've looked at a handful of duplex's and homes to rent. nothing has struck us as "the one" but we did see one last week that we LOVE but it is $1100 a month for rent. to much for us.

* our air conditioner took a dive last week. we are foreclosing. so we will not be repairing it. this sucks. thankfully my dad found 2 window units for us. thanks dad!

* our 2nd car needs a new muffler. our 1st car is draining water *into* the car from the air conditioning hose that should be draining outside of the car. i hate cars.

* cooper was sleeping thru the night for about a week. now he is up at 12something and then up again between 5-6 a.m. why oh why can't he just sleep? day after day cooper is convincing greg that he doesn't want more kids, which makes me sad.

* we are going on vacation soon. i cannot wait!

* sometimes i feel so overwhelmed i don't know what to do. in the next few months cooper will turn 1. we will move. ellie will start school (omg!). can you say STRESS?!

* i have been eating lots of this and it is so good! i love summer fresh produce :).
* i can't help but look at Obama's Supreme Court nominee, Elena Kagan, and think it is a Saturday Night Live skit! there is just something odd looking about her.

* i am addicted to the news by the way. i could watch CNN, MSNBC, Headline News, etc all day long. sometimes i even watch Fox News for sh*ts and giggles. i love knowing what is going on in the world.

* i really should be in bed right now. coop will be up in a little more than an our and i'll be so annoyed then that i didn't go to bed sooner.

* i bought the first swim suit, in years, this year that i absolutely love! that is something :).

* i love when my hubby has days off. life is so much better when he's home to help me with my two little maniac children.

* tomorrow is monday. ugh. will be to work by 8 with the 2 said maniac children. should be a great morning. ;)

* we are bringing a babysitter on vacation this year. she is there for one reason only... to keep me sane.

* can you tell i'm having a hard time with my children?? the are driving me bonkers.

* i am watching 'Life' on animal planet. this show is interesting.

* now i am boring you and i'm tired. peace out.

Tonight on the ride home Ellie and I had this conversation:

Ellie: "Mom, are butterfly's made of butter and fly's?"

Me: (trying my hardest not to laugh) "No Ellie they are not made of butter and fly's."

Ellie: "Yes they are mom, cause that's what it says!"

Me: (laughing, laughing, laughing)

more someday?

While reading Full Arm, Full Heart today I stumbled upon this paragraph that Lindsey wrote. I am not always so good at getting my thoughts down clearly on paper. This is exactly how I feel. I just couldn't write it myself!

And despite the effective contraception, unhesitant agreement with my husband that two is indeed a blessing enough, dwindling finances and obvious complaint that I'm freaking tired, there is still this quiet yet persistent nag deep down in the pit of my belly that begs for more babies. Sheesh! Still!! But then that's because when I look at them, I teeter on that fine line between knowing they are all I will ever need and wanting more of what brings me such joy. Can you blame me for wanting more of such love?
