Trudging along


I think going from one to two kids is so much easier than when you have your first. I don't know if it's the idea that you are already in family mode or that you are more prepared to have your world turned upside down. I'm tired often, but I try to nap in the afternoons when I can. I don't seem to have much solo time because I've either got Isaak or Chloe with me. Chloe aka the cuddlebug loves to be held all the time. Chloe takes a nap about 5 to ten minutes before Isaak wakes up from his. But at least I have a few minutes right? She's sleeping now and Isaak is wreaking havoc with his best buddy Jayda. They really are wreaking havoc--How can kids make messes so fast? I'm amazed. I need to work on my mess making skills because they put me to shame unless you count cooking for dinner. I can mess up a kitchen, but i hate to clean it up.
I'm happy to have two kids and my recent dilemma is when to have what kid wait. I want to
make both Isaak and Chloe happy, but sometimes they have needs at the exact same time. I love when they are both crying because then I have to decide what is most important to handle before I get a headache. On the way to the library today they were both screaming in the back and I just turned on some Christmas Music and Isaak eventually started singing with me and Chloe gave up her crying because she wanted out of the carseat and into my arms. the blissful calm that proceeded for the last ten minutes of the drive was awesome. My mind is all over the place because I'm overtired, but not terribly so. I even think that I'll attempt another child. I was talking to my aunt and uncle and they have a boy and a girl and now they wished they
would have toughed it out and had a couple more, so I think I have some grit in me, but not for at least a few years. I only have so much grit. I can't use it all up in just a few years. I'm going to post some scrapbooking that I've done and I have some pictures from Chloes blessing that hopefully I will get downloaded...this week....or maybe next. But they are cute. Off to feed the baby as she wakes!!!! I forgot to make mention that Isaak likes Chloe. He was asked the other night if it was okay if someone else took her home and he said, "No thats my baby." Phew. so he may get jealous and be rough, but at least he likes having her around.

Whaaaaat??????

I'm happily brushing my teeth in the bathroom. I'm looking around wondering what else I could be doing while I'm brushing my teeth and I started to think to myself, hmmmm , I wonder what's in toothpaste? I picked up the tube with my free hand and continued brushing. As I was reading the back I noticed a WaRnINg : Do not use for more than four weeks at a time. What? Do not use for more than four weeks? I anticipated reading if you swallow more than what you are brushing your teeth with call poison control. I try to start adding up how long I've been using this toothpaste. Cory didn't like it, so I've been using it solo and it has surely been more than four weeks. Now I don't know what to do with it--do I take a break and come back to it or do I just keep using it? I mean it's been about three months and I still have quite a bit left and nothing seems out of the ordinary yet...But seriously I think that the warning on the toothpaste should at least be

OW!!!!!

So yesterday we decided to go rollerblading. I know it’s a little out of style, but it is great fun. The first thing that I need to mention is that I have a great pair of rollerblades. They are speedy-I barely have to move. The second is that I’m not great at stopping. I can do it, but it’s hard to stop quickly. So the story-There is this trail by our house that is hilly and curvy. We start going uphill and we are going against the wind so it’s pretty hard. We were a huffin’ and puffin’ and sweatin‘--Cory more than me since he‘s actually pushing the stroller. I start to get a little nervous when Cory points out that we will be going downhill and the wind will push us. Hmmmm-I’m thinking to myself that means we’ll practically be flying. I tell myself it’s okay because I’ve gotten much better at stopping. I even reached the top of the trail before Cory and was telling my friend Tina that I had better get off the phone unless I wanted to end up getting plastic surgery from face planting.
