Still here...

OMG it has been WAY too long since I have updated my blog. I can't believe that it's been since OCTOBER that I have been on here. I won't go too much into the excuse but to my credit, I DID try to do an email update via my crummy blackberry two weeks ago and it has been so long since my last update that I sent it to the wrong address and it came back to me three days later. SO here I am....

I have recently discovered that I feel like I work work work work work in my life at everything. Cooking, cleaning, dressing, undressing, dressing again, changing diapers, cleaning up potty accidents, chauferring etc as the SAHM I am. I'm not the only one that does this, I know. However, I can't seem to get anywhere with it! Lol, this mountain of laundry is the same size no matter how many clothes I put away from it, it never gets any smaller. There are always toys on the floor no matter how many I pick up, the floor always needs to be vaccumed even if I just did it. There is so much that NEEDS to be done and I do it and do it and do it and yet, I look at where I was the last time I was sitting here updating my blog 3 months ago, and not a whole lot has changed.

We found the paper answer for a question we've been asking for 3 years now. Not that it really changes anything in our lives, but it was nice to know that we finally found an answer to something. The funny thing about answers to tough questions...you get an answer, and it only makes you ask more questions....

Since this last post we have also celebrated Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, PJ's birthday, my birthday, New Years, Owen getting 5 teeth and nearly crawling- but trying to walk. Amiah's conversations are more "grown up" and is now asking, "why" to everything and "where did that come from?" "is that yours or mine" "does that go there" and counts everything she can (up to 10). PJ has had a surge of learning and personal independence which truly is a celebration for all of us when I think about it, however in the moments of his "independent" desires it mostly just feels like a power struggle daily. All of these will merit seperate posts at some point as I am trying to get my books printed for the 2010 blog and need those in it...

And the most miserable thing that has happened since I last blogged, I lost my blackberry. Or should I say, AMIAH, lost my blackberry while Mickey and I were engrossed in a game of Mario Brother's on the Wii (thanks mom!). It has been nearly 3 weeks and I'm miserable. Of course, I activated my old crummy blackberry that at least does the basics for me but I have lost all my contacts, my calendar, reminders, tasks, lists, pictures, everything. You'd think I'd lost an arm or something. We are still trying to find it but seeing as I can't seem to really get anything clean around here (like I was talking about earlier) I doubt we'll find it.

Anyway, I'm still alive, and yes, so are my kids and hubby too. I need to go unbury them, from a disaster now :o)
