thinking

so, i'm thinking and i'm letting it all out, well, not ALL, but i'm letting my brain drain right here.

i worry too much, anyone with me on this?
when i became a mother it all started to wash over me. the thoughts of death i had never had before and thoughts of my kids not liking me. my parents are getting older and i hate the thought of being too far from them. i'm living a life here, but not really LIVING, you know.

i hope this isn't IT, but i'm afraid it is. we're waiting for the next best thing and when you wait too long you start to feel like ANYTHING would be next best, and that's not always true...

grace is becoming a young girl and i like it and don't all at once. she changes me and the dynamic we have. noah is ALL BOY as they say and i have no idea how to handle him, so i worry he'll turn out "bad"

i can say that my relationship with eric probably couldn't be better than it is. we are on the same page with life issues and where we are, maybe not where we want to go, but we'll cross that bridge when we get there.

every day is the same and yet everything in life changes constantly, i'm afraid i'll wake from this stupor in a few years and not really know where i am or who my family is. friends? what friends? friends here or there, friends who i confide in or friends that i chat with?

i think lucy's depressed, and when a dog's depressed it depresses me, seriously they're like, the happiest creatures on earth!!

i haven't gotten into this groove like i think a lot of people i know have and it's almost comforting to know that i am not afraid to get up and go, or change on a whim. i'm not quite "stuck" yet, but it's coming, it has been coming for years now and i don't like it. we could find something else and move to someplace else and start the whole thing over again, or stay here and FORCE this thing on ourselves...

i like my life and i love my family. but which is more, like or love. will i stay to make the like love, or will i go to make the loves stronger?

You read my mind this morning. Please get out of my head now :)

Seriously, though - parenting is hard. And I'm worried we're doing it all wrong.

And then I look in his face and think "Yeah right - like I'm in control."

Have faith, friend.

Here it is, the long awaited video from the arrival of our new "BIG" bed. I noticed that I'm breathing pretty hard in the video, it's because I was fighting a cold, not because I have that hard of a time walking up the stairs. Although Eric and Ben show signs of fatigue too, but they actually did the work... so here you go, I hope it makes you laugh a little.

If it's broke, fix it

Noah fractured his arm. Yes you're right, I felt horrible. At first I didn't know what to do. I ran with my crying baby up the stairs to the kitchen and called my husband. He didn't really know what to do either. I called the pediatrician. Appointment for the afternoon was made and Noah gradually got back into the swing of things, not using his arm like normal, but playing and pulling hair and eating like normal with his other arm. By the time we got to the pediatricians office I thought for sure she would say that it was probably just sprained and that he should take it easy. She told me she thought x rays would be a good idea and to go right away and they would call from the imaging office to let the pediatrician know what they saw. I called around for the cheapest x rays and went where it was 10 dollars cheaper per x ray, all the while thinking I didn't want to pay money for it to be nothing. Noah was doing well for having fell, not eaten very much and not having tak...

Revolutionary Road

What was I thinking? Leonardo, Kate. Titanic was a hit right? So I rented this movie, Revolutionary Road. We hadn't rented in a very long time and I thought, hey it's cheaper than going to see a movie, getting babysitters are expensive these days. Well, I knew it would be rough but I got it anyway. Eric was not happy. At one point he asked if he could have my headphones to listen to his laptop instead of the movie. I'll just say this. If you're at a point in your marriage were you could go one of two directions, one good, one bad, don't rent this flick! It's real, it's hard to watch. Luckily for Eric and I, we aren't at that place, we never have been and I hope we won't ever get there. Now, it's 4am and I'm sitting at the kitchen table with my little boy thinking, I really shouldn't have watched that movie because I could have gone to bed earlier in preperation for this night. If you have seen it, or you do let me know what you think.
