Unloading the camera

I'm think I'm getting worse at blogging. I'm totally getting sucked in on Facebook. I thought I'd better post before my family decides that I no longer update this and I've fallen off the face of the earth. Firstly, last week was a rough one for me. According to books I've read, mood swings are supposed to lessen the last trimester...I believe they are wrong. So does John.
This would be the result of Fae not cleaning her room. I had finally had enough of encouraging, bribing, joking, yelling, pleading, etc. and went off the deep end. While it was a great stress reliever for me to throw things, it was a pain to clean up. And the 5 cans of soda/lemonade on the table would be the result of having a husband who hasn't yet found the recycling bin. Our messy house is a family effort.

This girl can fall asleep anywhere. She was in the middle of eating her hamburger when she dozed off.
John only really WORKS about half of the time he's at work. This is a picture of a recent motorcycle ride he took with a bunch of other people at work. Now you know why they call this "Station Vacation".
Miss Fabulous being herself. Look Tina...she's still wearing the boots!
We went out to White Plains beach yesterday early to avoid the crowds. The beach had all of about 3 people on it...the waves had SO much more. MF and I enjoyed ourselves while John and his friend had to fight to catch a wave. It was a nice day yesterday!
Miss Fabulous rode on John's surfboard for the first time yesterday. She sure seemed like she was having a great time! Unfortunately, my battery died in my camera just before that so no pictures. I'm sure it won't be the last time.
Well, my house is very clean now and I have a lot of projects to work on so maybe I'll get to creating instead of cleaning! Yay! Have a great week people!

The piles of cans looks so familiar only we don't have an end table so substitute my window sill...

I hear you on the mess being a family effort and Facebook sucking you in.

Yes, me too. It's just the way it is.

Congrats on updating your blog ;)

Thank you for making my day and bravely showing that picture of the house. The only thing is that yours is clean now. About FB, yeah, I just got hooked too. Look me up, I will try to find you.

I've totally gotten sucked into FB too. It's so easy to just update your status, I guess I could put those on my blog too, but it just doesn't seem the same.

I love you for putting that pic of your house on here. It makes me feel so much more normal. I live in a neighborhood of "stepford wives" who always look perfect and so do their houses, well come to find out they have maids (and husbands who are home every night). So, I've stopped comparing myself to them. I'm sure if they were in my shoes their house would look the same as mine. Okay, so maybe that's not true, but it makes me feel better, but the truth is my kids make the mess, and I'm too lazy to clean up after them.

How's the pregnancy going?

Reverting Back

In 2006, we moved to Hawaii.  I started this blog that year.  I blogged as an outlet and a way to keep in touch with my family across an ocean.  It was far simpler than sending out individual or group emails loaded with as many pictures as emails would allow back then.  I might even still have copies of those emails, tucked away in some folder somewhere.  Blogging became a way for me to make friends, or feel like I had made friends.  I followed other blogs and, occasionally commented...but I’d say odd things.  Not on purpose. The comments make perfect sense to me, because they are coming out of my head and there is a thought pattern or connection.  People that know me would be able to make the connection.  Other bloggers...other people, they don’t know me.  They didn’t know me.  I was just the weirdo making odd comments on a random post.  I lived for comments on mine.  Usually it was my mom, she never missed a post and oft...

Summer Fade

 Summer is drawing to an end. We have traveled to AZ and UT. Played far too many video games and watched entirely too much TV. Workbooks were provided by myself with incentive to anyone who finished would get a large prize...no takers. No mom school this year...that may be a thing of the past with all these kids growing up.  John announced his retirement for next year and we are on the hunt for a place to finally settle into for next year. Nearer to family sounds great. New England has a lot to offer too. Our money will stretch a lot farther in a LCOL area like Iowa or Ohio. We do love being near the ocean or water and did love Alaska. This is going to be harder than I thought. The kids are going back to school and, since we live in SoCal now, we will continue to experience summer. I'm still not sure what MissFab is doing this year. Star started her Sophomore year of high school and she is nearly a week in. She has changed her schedule and is already ready to be done with scho...

Nearly 5 weeks...

Image
I've been told I need to update the blog so here are several pictures of little Star. She is now just over 11 lbs. and just shy of 23" long. She is just a bit big. Miss Fabulous was nearly 4 months old before she got as big as our Star! She is fun and really cuddly. She really loves to eat (thus the big size!) and sleep but seems to be wanting to be on the move. John has dubbed her "Scooter" because she is never where we put her. She rolled over from her back to her tummy the other day! Still not great at night...sometime she just wants to be awake, but last night she slept 7 hours straight and I'm hoping its the beginning of a trend! Miss Fabulous just LOVES her little sister and is always trying to help. MF is doing a little better in school with a lot of help from her teacher and some from us at home. We are starting her in a program at school where they help children deal with transition, which seems to be the biggest part of her problem. The progr...
