My Body - My Own!

Five years, and three children later - I finally have my body to myself. Simon has officially been weaned! It was his own fault...using those razor-sharp baby teeth on me. Hence, I do belive that my pregnancy/nursing days are over. It is bitter-sweet, I will miss holding an infant and that amazing feeling of providing a life with everything it needs. Yet, I also want my body to myself. I want to have lots of caffine, and skip breakfast, and drink more than one glass of wine! Well, that time has come, and I'm a little happy, a little sad. That is life.

Some days you need to look really hard for the joy...

It's Tuesday, after a long weekend, and we're back to the same-old same-old...get to Pre-school, laundry, dishes, diapers,and picking up toys, blah, blah, blah. It's hard to find the joy in it - especially when Jack and Matt fight and argue ALL THE TIME! This morning (while Jackson was at school) Matthew comes running to me crying that "Jackson push me!" Are you kidding me? Even when you two are not together you fight! Anyway - it has been a tough day -with a lot of yelling from Mom, and it's only like what...2:00pm - We still have hours to survive today. So, I came up to the computer to check my email - and while i am here I thought I'd write a little note...so that years from now - when you kids are dealing with your own little lovable balls-of-stress - You to can take a deep breath - and look hard for the joy. It's there, I am so blessed!

I can't believe I am actually blogging about my kids. How cool am I? Truth be told, this is my first time "blogging" I am not the most techno-savvy Mom on the block - but look at me now! My very own BLOG! Anyway - It is so hard to keep up with the baby books - I love scrap-booking but at the rate I'm going it will be the year 2020 before I get to "Simon's first tubby!" So, as one more way to celebrate my children's milestones and also remember the ordinary, mundane days....Welcome to "Bubbins, Goo and Cakes!" What is that you ask? Well, "Bubbins" is Jackson's nickname - "Goo" is Matt, and "Cakes" is for Simon - All lovingly bestowed on them by their father. There are lots of variations to these names - as I am sure you will see in future blogs. Jackson will be five in two months, Matthew is two, and the Sy-Cakes is just 9 months. My Boys - Oh I love those boys!!
