I am awake now... but hopefully that means I will be asleep again until
10. I wish. But just in case, here's a post.
Later.

It's amazing what the brain does with pregnancy... I lost all political
and other ambition.... just now starting to notice the world around me
again.
This is one reason I wonder should a woman be President. Now, this has
been an ambition of mine since I was 6. I take breaks from it, but
politics always calls to me.
And if I ever did it, I would probably be past childbearing years.
Nonetheless, I question my sanity during hormonal shifts.
Would I blow up Korea on a "bad" day? I just can't say. I'm just saying
I worry myself sometimes.
I really don't need any backup singers on this, my dear male friends. Just processing.

Well, sounds from the bassinet beckon me. Over and out.

I am SO tired. I know I'm just a whiney baby.... mothers throughout
history have done this.... but geez.
So I won't be around to chat for a little while... Toby is sleeping and
so should I.
Catch ya later

If she's gonna cry, might as well give her her way

My battery will die momentarily... but 'eres a little blog to get ya
goin.
If Toby eats at 6 am, then he and I get to sleep till 9. Nice.

So there's a new link over on the side - it's pictures that you cats
have already seen, but if anyone just wants to see pictures of the baby
and not actually join the community, there you go.
How's that for a run-on sentence?
Well, guys day continues although it's not very manly today.

Mornin bloggers
The late night blogging has grown quite interesting... I always catch
up in my a.m. sleep deprived haze as opposed to my p.m. sleep deprived
haze.
Happy Bday to Wade Reichert!

Toby's doing great. His very favorite thing is eating, which he does
often, grunting and smacking and generally showing great
appreciation....He looks fat to us... he may be six pounds by now.
Last night Kai came to visit and then Toby looked kind of little... oh,
well.

Well, guys, here's your day. Have at it. Who wants to suggest a topic?

Toby! For being a great reason to start a blog!

Georgia brought up the idea of blog awards.... very interesting. What
are some awards we could offer?
I used to win awards. Spelling bees and presidencies and such...
elementary school.
Do you know I consider participation ribbons socialism? Just award
everyone... no high achiever award only....
I used to go to the Houston area spelling bee and get beat by a Chinese
kid. Now, that sounds more interesting than it is. I mean, he would win
the competition, not pummel me. Clarification was necessary, I feel.
I have never won a trophy. Only ribbons.... I guess trophies are for
sports, and I do not excel at sports, to put it kindly.
Piney Woods used to have Field Days, where all day long you did sports
and tournaments and whatnot. I often scored the coveted position of
scorekeeper. It's amazing how much energy I have expended in my life
just AVOIDING playing sports.
You don't really get ribbons or trophies when you grow up. Maybe
certificates. But they're always things like You've Completed
Foundations! and your husband just throws them away.

Sigh... Maybe I'll get myself a trophy over at Brauns. And I'll keep it
at the Hernandez's house so it's safe.

Happy Birthday to my Mama...

I didn't blog yesterday because I was lazy... or legitimately tired...
or uninspired

R2 had a seizure last night... his first in a year. It made me so sad
because I thought these were over... and I hate to see him suffer.
I was also afraid of more brain damage... He woke up this morning and
walked in here and pointed at the TV. Good sign. He then began to have
a VERY loud conversation on his phone right next to a sleeping Toby.
So I turned on the TV and he says "Look, it's Elmo!"
He then went in the living room and told his daddy, "Change my diaper.
I have stinky poopoos."

So.... um... there you go.
It was good of God to reassure me first thing.

We went out last night... all 4 of us.
We saw Glory Road... we sat way up high with the annoying teenagers
because there were more empty seats around....
I saw Terri there with her main squeeze.
It was a good movie... nothing wrong with it. I just wanted it to be
more moving.... the previews are awesome and I thought it would be more
Remember the Titans-ish... but I didn't connect with it the same way.
Still, it was clean and a good story. So there you go.
Toby slept hard through the whole movie. There are good things about
spending your early days in the NICU, where alarms are always beeping
and the lights stay on... both of my children could sleep through
anything.
R2 loved the movie... he loves every "big movie". He is always very
excited about going and then he has a great attention span through the
whole thing.

In answer to Beth's trivia question, Monday is Mama's birthday. She
will be as old as her tongue and a little older than her teeth. So give
her a shout-out Monday. And cash is good, too.
