Thoughts

Friends of ours celebrated a new addition to their family on Tuesday. A boy- a squishy, freshly-born, bundle of squeaks and stretches joined them in the wee hours of the morning.

A good bloggy friend celebrated a new addition to her family, too. She’s a member of the ‘Oh, you’ve got your hands full” club, like me, having just birthed her sixth. She’s busy taking it easy, as it should be, marveling at how teeny they are, and how suddenly your other children are huge, and grown, and probably panicking in much the same way I did, about time going way too fast, yet seeing it slow to a crawl when they hover around that brand new-to-the-world face, dependent upon you.

I found this post the other day, of my infant (who’s 5-month’s-old today!) of when he was only one week old. How teeny he was. Where the heck does the time go?

Does anyone else feel as though they’re “refueling” like a jetliner, or somethin’, when you’re drinking a beverage while breastfeeding? Easy come, easy go…..

It hasn’t been a piece of cake breastfeeding two at once, lemme tell ya. I’m one tired momma of six kids. I barely have time to pee, or run a brush through my hair, or check if my shirt is right-side-out.

Someone wanna explain this “momma“ to me?

What.The.Hell.
….
Friggin’ no words. I’m fresh out. I said it all already over here about this hot mess.

Words: In making my shopping list, I could barely say the word “Worcestershire”. I don’t think there is enough coffee in the world to wake up your tongue enough to get that word out unscathed. Seriously, couldn’t they just call it ‘the-tasty-stuff-to-add-to-burgers-that-has-anchovies-in-it’? That would be easier to spit out than “Worcestershire” sauce. Sheesh!

Anyone else wonder why Organic milk lasts so much longer than additive/preservative-infused metallic-tasting hormone-saturated milk? Don’t believe me? Check it out the next time you go shopping! Organic milk lasts a good 3 weeks to a month from the date I buy it to it’s “sell by” date, no joke!

I need to make chocolate cookies. I need to add this to my to-do list. Some tasty cookies and milk for dessert this week. Super-yum!

By the way, when did paper become tasty?

Oh yeah, when the paper comes from Parenting Magazine, and when daddy‘s reading that page.

Haha, seeing another picture of my husband here reminds me of his gettin’ a good toddler-kickin-smoosheroo. Aww, my poor baby-daddy. Makes me giggle uncontrollably.

In other kid-kickin-butt-and-takin’-names news – my oldest has a soccer game tomorrow. Can’t wait to get action shots of her! My kids are kickin’ all kinds of butt this season! Here’s my 9 year old son and 8 year old daughter, both with the ball. Both teams played hard, played hard teams, and won! (And my husband coaches both, so we’re doubly proud)

Ever wonder if a 5-month-old could? Kick butt I mean. Wonder no more, friends. Wonder. No. More. I introduce you to.. Ninja Baby!

Ta da! Thirteen words, embedded into thoughts. {bows} At your service. For all of the above – my children, my husband, my friends, new babies, humor and everything, all of it – I am Thankful.
