Sun November 1, 2009, 9:56 am: hears water running. I think it has been running for a while... Yep. Lily was washing her hands. And her hair. And her dress. And the floor. And the counter. And...
Sun November 1, 2009, 8:36 am: is not in labor, just in hiding.
Sun November 1, 2009, 7:25 am: Take a guess what my house looks like today if my garage is nice and clean.
Sat October 31, 2009, 5:32 pm: Halloween. This long walk had better get me closer to labor.
Fri October 30, 2009, 4:39 pm: Mess, mess, and a little more mess to go with it.

Fri October 30, 2009, 11:18 am: Lily has a new way to say her name - it sounds for all the world like "Lowly". Too cute!

Fri October 30, 2009, 9:59 am: can't figure out what happened to half my music on iTunes when switching computers. I can't find it on the old hard drive or the new one and I *KNOW* it was there. I used it from the old one.
Thu October 29, 2009, 12:08 pm: Off to see the costume parade!
Thu October 29, 2009, 6:41 am: Hello old friend prodromal labor, I am actually glad to see you. Please be a good pal and speed things along for the real event, okay?
Wed October 28, 2009, 8:54 pm: Was cheated out of her time alone by a little pee-in-pantser. It is so cruel to have that dangled in front of you and yanked away.

Wed October 28, 2009, 11:14 am: Does anyone have some size 24mo/2T girl clothes to trade for size 2T-3T boys clothes? For the boys stuff I have jammies, pants and shirts in good condition.

Mon October 26, 2009, 1:00 pm: Naptime!

Sun October 25, 2009, 5:33 pm: Had a wonderful Fall Festival and spent ... er, Donated, lots of money. The kids had a blast. Now I want a nap.

Thu October 15, 2009, 6:20 am: declares herself victorious over the piggy pox.
Wed October 14, 2009, 1:32 pm: hates Book-it. My kid reads every day, (quite a lot actually!) why do I have to keep track of exactly how many minutes? Do I not have anything else to do?
Tue October 13, 2009, 2:11 pm: is sick of sickness.
Sun October 11, 2009, 7:02 pm: now has the resident plague. Because I wasn't uncomfortable enough.

Tue October 6, 2009, 8:42 pm: ow.
Tue October 6, 2009, 7:22 pm: While I was making dinner tonight Lily came in. After standing in the middle of the kitchen for a moment she took off her panties (the only clothes she was wearing) and declared, "I want different panties!" (And no, they weren't wet. I guess a girl can just change her mind sometimes... )
Tue October 6, 2009, 2:13 pm: Newborn diapers are about the cutest thing in the world - except for maybe the babies themselves.

Fri October 2, 2009, 8:15 pm: 34 weeks. Only 6 to go, hopefully less. Time now to get the baby stuff together!
Fri October 2, 2009, 6:22 pm: Friday! (I have nothing more interesting to share.)
Fri October 2, 2009, 1:26 pm: Lily's new skill - emptying the lead out of mechanical pencils.
Fri October 2, 2009, 6:57 am: is pondering. Do I run around all day shopping and skip naptime or do I stay home and let Lily get some much needed sleep.
Wed September 30, 2009, 8:25 pm: somehow can't find the thing I need but can find a million other things that I certainly don't.

Wed September 30, 2009, 6:34 am: needs to clean up around here today.
Tue September 29, 2009, 6:21 pm: Those 3 week old mashed potatoes sure do have an interesting smell. But I could live quite happily never having to smell that again.
Tue September 29, 2009, 11:41 am: is disgusted with my rosarita refried beans. Why on earth would they need to stick msg in these?

Sat September 26, 2009, 11:13 am: To Mac or not to Mac. That is the question.
Fri September 25, 2009, 2:17 pm: could really go for a really good steak. Too bad I have chicken thawed for dinner.
Fri September 25, 2009, 8:29 am: Traffic is funny. If I leave the house at 7:05, we get everywhere on time or even early. If I leave the house at 7:07 we are at least 10 minutes late. (7:06 is a toss up.)
Thu September 24, 2009, 7:38 pm: Good grief, is it really only 7:30? It feels like 11pm at least!

Tue September 22, 2009, 5:38 pm: Why do my children, who hate to do schoolwork, stockpile the school supplies like they are preparing for the end of the world?
Mon September 21, 2009, 10:06 am: This is like a Monday times 10. Everything I try to do gets ridiculously complcated in some way. I feel like I am running into a brick wall every time I turn around!
Sun September 20, 2009, 7:31 am: Molly has Godparents!
Fri September 18, 2009, 7:02 am: just keep driving, just keep driving... Take Posy, take Ben and Tessa, go home, take Max, go to Tempe to certain store, get Max, get Posy, get Ben and Tessa, get Posy's friend, take Posy and friend back to Ben and Tessa's school, go home. That will get me to 2pm.
Wed September 16, 2009, 6:18 pm: Seriously, what is up with the pregnant clumsiness? I have dropped more things, spilled more things, knocked over and broken more things while pregnant than at any other time in my life. ARGH!

Thu September 10, 2009, 4:04 pm: Am I the only one who finds cleaning under the table to be worse than cleaning the toilet?

Thu September 10, 2009, 10:08 am: Blessed are those who are patient with the irritating. Maybe God will be patient with them. - From the Gospel according to Pammy
Thu September 10, 2009, 7:21 am: Doesn't understand motorcycles or convertables. But then I'm a windows up kind of girl.
Wed September 9, 2009, 8:18 pm: Now one of our stupid computers is freaking out. It will turn on but won't interact with the monitor. So the monitor just thinks it is sleeping. I NEED THAT COMPUTER!!!! Stupid thing. I should just go back to keeping up with the checkbook on paper.

Thu September 3, 2009, 10:31 am: I started a load of wash. Is that enough?
Wed September 2, 2009, 1:20 pm: It is SUCH an ordeal for a 4 year old to settle on which Star Wars movie to watch. We had to discuss random scenes from each before he was really sure. (We ended up with ESB.)

Sun August 30, 2009, 9:49 pm: Monday is nearly here. I have a crazy-long list of stuff to do, not sure if any will actually get done.
Sat August 29, 2009, 5:20 pm: How is it that I can make such a big mess while cleaning the house?
Sat August 29, 2009, 3:07 pm: wishes Lily would keep her clothes on.
Sat August 29, 2009, 7:21 am: Saturday - time to get this house in order. We've been on the run all week just leaving a trail of destruction behind us. The mess is unprecedented!

Thu August 27, 2009, 10:21 am: Please keep prayers coming for baby Joachin and his mommy, Amy. Joachin is on a heart-lung machine to let his body heal and keep him stable. Also, keep little Gigi in prayer - she has been diagnosed with leukemia. More tests before they'll know what kind/what stage.

Sun August 23, 2009, 11:57 am: is washing tiny baby clothes. But I need to go to the grocery store and buy stuff for lunches. Does it have to be Monday tomorrow?
Fri August 21, 2009, 7:05 am: needs to stop at about 5 different stores today. I don't think I can put it off any longer. I hate going to a store when I only need ONE thing there. It takes longer to get everyone in and out of the car than to do the actual shopping!

Tue August 18, 2009, 11:07 am: Back from the dentist with amazing results: Upon being put in the papoose, Lily went RIGHT to sleep. Dr. Jane said her eyes started to close right away. (I wonder if this is because she took so much comfort from swaddling until she was 9 mon old.) Then she didn't need a root canal after all - two cavities filled while she napped away.
Tue August 18, 2009, 6:40 am: Please pray for Lily today, this is the first of two big time dentist appointments for her root canal. She's going in at 9:30am.
Mon August 17, 2009, 4:48 pm: needs to pull $191 out of... who knows where by tomorrow. Why is it that as soon as I get the bills and budget all settled and figured out extra bills roll in?
Mon August 17, 2009, 10:18 am: Poor Lily misses Max, she will be so happy when he gets home from preschool.
Mon August 17, 2009, 8:51 am: wants to close her eyes for just a minute or two.
Sat August 15, 2009, 2:48 pm: Returned from a two-cartfull trip to costco and took a little nap.

Wed August 12, 2009, 10:00 am: I have a roast I could make for dinner, but I can't dislodge it from the ice in the freezer.
Wed August 12, 2009, 6:24 am: 3rd school starts this morning!
Tue August 11, 2009, 9:53 am: really, really hates balloons. They are the cause of more sibling wars in this house than anything else.

Thu August 6, 2009, 3:22 pm: Who wants to go to the store with me?
Thu August 6, 2009, 1:49 pm: Singing is not sleeping. Now put your head down and go to sleep.
Thu August 6, 2009, 12:46 pm: Keep the shredded cheese off the floor.
Thu August 6, 2009, 12:23 pm: Put the gum in the trash. No the bulletin board is not the trash.
Thu August 6, 2009, 12:16 pm: Me: Max, get dressed! Max: but Ben is watching TV!
Thu August 6, 2009, 12:14 pm: What happened in here? I JUST cleaned up this room!
Thu August 6, 2009, 12:09 pm: Today's status is going to be all the mom things that I say no matter how pointless.
Thu August 6, 2009, 8:26 am: feels like she is starting a marathon.
Wed August 5, 2009, 8:55 pm: If you mop it, they will spill.

Mon August 3, 2009, 3:24 pm: If you don't want me to comment on your girth, please don't comment on mine. I'm just saying....

Wed July 29, 2009, 3:59 pm: Make dinner, swim with the kids, read every one their books, and off to bed early. Lovely Summer nights!
Wed July 29, 2009, 2:53 pm: wishes she was out of this limbo and knew what was coming next.
