Is it really still November? Crikey it seems like this month just keeps going on and on. Anyway what we were talking about? Oh yes, embarrassing things about Marilyn! What is it about being pregnant that brings out the nesting instinct in women? Marilyn is already a bit of a “nester” even when she isn’t pregnant but it becomes overwhelming when she’s got a bun in the oven. For her it manifests itself in the corner of our living room next to her chair and on the table between our chairs. The other night after dinner I looked over at the table and my mind boggled at the pure physics of all the crap piled up. Seriously, this pile of assorted cups, bowls, silverware, paper plates, etc. broke more than one law of physics not to mention the law of gravity. The table itself is only measures about 18 inches across but the pile itself is about double that. As Marilyn carefully placed another empty yogurt cup on the one side the whole structure groaned slightly and I swear I felt a tremor. I looked at her aghast and the only thing I could muster was “Now that’s just a work of art!” I’ve since cleaned said table off and as I sit and read this notice that the foundations have already been laid for the next masterpiece. The pile next to her chair scares me. I’m positive that everything we’ve lost in the past couple of years is somehow buried in that pile including several remotes, toys, small pets, etc. I would clean it up but I don’t have a big enough stick or a gun. I’ll warn you now that Marilyn will try to turn her nesting habits around to make it seem like its my fault and complain something about some tables sitting in the garage that I “haven’t done anything with yet even though I bought him a can of spray paint” but she’s really just deflecting the real issue and I guarantee that a bigger table will only provide a canvas for a bigger piece of art. Hope you all had a great Thanksgiving! Nest week is my last post :(

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.
