Feh, I'm so tired

why why why is my son getting up three times a night again? he has not slept through the night since mid june. i'm so flippin crabby. enough......

i know it's only the beginning of august, but already things seem to be leaning toward fall. the new shiny school supplies are in the stores. i took a good long drag off a box of crayons yesterday at target...couldn't help myself! i feel like there's so much that still needs to be done before we "close up the house", as we do when it gets cold around here. i need to get the children's wardrobes straightened away- i.e. swap out the summer for the winter; and get them some decent shoes. jeez, they're not even in school and i'm lusting after 'proper school shoes'. you know the kind; with a nice stiff leather sole...and a book bag to match. cute!

holy blog-less

Yeah, not a lot of free time in the past few months. The kids are huge, but busier than ever. D is in summer camp. He loves it. So do I...obviously. More and more lately I miss the time I used to have by myself. D would nap 3 hours in the afternoon (I know I'm spoiled); and I could be inside my head for that time. In addition I had the luxury of an afternoon completely to myself once a week when D would visit his Grammie. Well, now that kid 2.0 is here, things are different. M is still nursing (not much tho), and can't stand to be left without me for more than an hour at a time. Ugh. Plus, the afternoon naps are almost at an end....besides do you think they have the courtesy to nap at the same time...not bloody likely. Still, things could be worse. At least my tubes are tied! Ha!
