avoiding this thing...

...the blog, I mean. I don't know why, but it seems as though whenever I have a chance to get on the computer, instead of updating my own blog, I feel a strong need to catch up on other people's lives and read all about the happenings across the country, which ends up leading me to a new digital kit that I simply MUST have and then while I am downloading that, here comes a stinky diaper, so I am off, never to return to my own blog. Right now, it is first thing in the morning and I snuck downstairs before anyone else has opened their eyes so that I can have some alone time (sacrifice a little sleep for alone time you ask? OH YES!) Anyway, seeing as how my eyes still have some crusties in them and I haven't brushed my teeth yet, I am not really feeling into perusing the scrapbook world. I did however check for an update with some of my fav. "friends" and I convinced myself NOT to click on the links found in their entries, that way I could sooner get here-to write something, anything!

So, besides having a hard time with motivation, everything here in UGLY Toledo is wonderful! Well, besides school (which is boring and filled with ridiculous busy work- I mean, don't they realize that I am like 1 year or so away from being a fabulous pharmacist??? I am soooo beyond their meaningless tasks) and this darn sore throat that won't go away! Of course, being in my current state (with child-doesn't that sound so funny?) I haven't exactly been popping pills to rid myself of this pain, but still, "c'mon immune system, where are ya?" Xander has been being the best little boy ever all week. He has been starting to really play independently and having a great time at it, I should add. And everynight, after baths and jammies, we snuggle on the couch together with his blankie, or as he calls it "ban ban" and whisper and giggle and have a wonderful time! He thinks I am the funniest mom there ever was when I sing silly songs to him and tickle him and his ultimate favorite is where I do that little riddle, "criss-cross, applesauce, spider crawling up your back...." you know the one, right? He just thinks that is soooo fun. As soon as I am done, he says "aaah gaaa" which is his version of 'again' :) So, again we do it and each time, I think about how precious he is to me! Awww, I know every mom feels the same way, but sometimes I can't believe that this type of love was out there all the time and no one filled me in sooner! I couldn't be more happy...and now with the new little coffee bean in my tummy, I can't help but think about how this love is going to grow so much! As we add more children to the mix, it surely will consume our entire lives-or at least that is what I've heard! It sounds wonderful to me :) I can't wait! Anyway, I think I hear little "good mornings" upstairs, so I better head up to greet my boys!
