So this evening, as he was getting ready for bed, H delivered this note via Post-It (his favorite medium of late) to me. According to the note (if you’re in need of a translation), he’s telling me, “I’m sorry I been a brat.? Love, H.”? This comes as news to me because while he was a little wooly this evening (and when isn’t he?? I call the evenings hours the “witching hours” because that’s when he goes nuts.), it wasn’t anything out of the ordinary.? Frankly, I think he just likes giving out notes.? He teared up when I started laughing, saying I was laughing at his note.? How do you explain to a six year old you’re laughing WITH them not AT them?? I told him I was smiling because I loved the note so much.
So much, in fact, I ran to post it on my blog.? Yeah, such a geek.
Okay WHY is “Amazing Race” on at 10:00pm tonight?? Have I lost my mind or is it usually on at 9?? WHY do I have to wait a WHOLE HOUR to watch this?? WHY WHY WHY???
“The Unit” is on instead.? Explain this to me.
Now I’m all huffy.
First off, this makes my heart break. As if that poor family hasn’t had enough tragedy, now this?? I’d heard she had lung cancer, but I stupidly assumed (NEVER do that when cancer is involved!) that she’d lick it.? Because she’s proven she’s a tuff gal. And I thought there was no way fate would be that cruel to that family.? I guess I was wrong.? My first thought was of poor Will. He’s only 13 years old, for pitys sake.? And to lose both parents in two years is just so much for a young man like him to bear.? I hope has a fraction of his parents’ strength.
Anyhow, my heart stopped when I heard the news. I’m so sad for that family. What a loss of such a wonderful woman.
Secondly, lest you worry about poor lil ol’ me, I’m surprisingly okay with the whole no-gender thing.? I’m fairly confident we’ll find out eventually.? And even if, heaven forbid, we don’t?? That’s okay.? How is this possible?? I’m horrendously planning-oriented.? Not knowing a detail like this as soon as I possibily can should be crippling.? But I think my determined, relaxed attitude towards the entire pregnancy is rubbing off here too.
I’ve had a lot of people say that crossed legs mean it’s a girl.? But I’m pretty sure Jackson had crossed legs…and for whatever reason (I’ve already forgotten, BAD MOTHER) we weren’t able to find out his gender for weeks upon weeks! So that theory doesn’t exactly fly. Truly, I think it could easily be either boy or girl.? I lean towards boy simply because that’s what I’ve had so far.? And if that’s the case?? K really has to get on the whole name thing.? So far we have NO prime candidates and THAT?? *DOES* make me twitchy.? Go figure.

This is me. I'm a thirtysomething stay at home mom to three kids. For years I was a stay at home mom to one kid and trying very hard to have more. It took a LONG time (ie: 6 1/2 years), but finally Liam arrived and charmed us with his blue eyes and ginormous, round head. Then we got a shock: I was pregnant again and this time it was a GIRL. Our hearts and home are full at last and now that we're done having babies, we get to relax (snort) and watch them grow (not too fast now, you hear?). Thanks for coming by, feel free to dip into my archives, read my About and History pages (just don't do Jackson's Story without tissues!) and make yourself at home.
