i’m sitting here, it’s 12:23am, and i should be a responsible {pregnant} adult and go to bed…but my mind won’t shut down.  it just. keeps. going.  spinning with things i need to get off my plate {need or want?}  i’m not a fan of this feeling.  i’ve been busy, busy getting stuff done and yet NOTHING is getting done at all.  and in the mean time, i’m starting to feel like the world’s worst mama and crabbiest wife.  i’m hoping i’m not the only one that feels this way sometimes?

in the mean time, i’m trying to recover my sense of balance and equilibrium before pending baby arrives.  and isn’t it funny how his/her arrival feels as though it will make everything i’ve been worrying/stressing about just go away? {when in reality, more circus-like chaos will most definitely ensue…but in a good, happy way!}  we are all getting anxious.  sunshine keeps asking me when the baby is ‘popping out’, turbojet is just plain ready, i’m as big as a river barge, and lover is, well, he’s lover…strong and steady.  company will start to arrive on wednesday in anticipation of the joy that is about to enter into our little world and there will be enough love to pass around 1000x over.  and for that, i am grateful.

until then…daily dose!

the pool continues to dominate the majority of our heat infested days and the boys are flourishing little fishies {thank goodness!  what we would do without the pool?…i can’t even fathom!}

each time we just have to get a little more creative with our pool entertainment of choice.  remember last week?  the bike, right?  this week…monster trucks, monster truck ramps, and lots of car sounds only little boys can make!

things that make me happy & extra grateful :

• listening to the sound of two little boys playing in *gasp* dare i say, harmony?  sharing, thinking of each other, working together, being a team…sounds i would LOVE to hear more often {can i get an ‘amen’ from all you summer-worn parent’s out there?}
• iced dirty chai. period. {if you haven’t tried it, GO, GO NOW!  you may think you have died and gone to heaven, but i assure you, it’s real. and it’s goooooooood.}
• indoor pizza picnic parties
• a busy weekend ahead
• sunshine’s new favorite phrases : “something’s wrong…” {used anytime he can’t find something he’s looking for…} and, ” ‘member last week?” {in reference to anything outside of his immediate time frame}
