Timing

As my life works now, I have about 2-3 hours of downtime (sometimes more hopefully less) when Travis has gone to bed, but Kenzie is up and fussy. She wants to spend most of this time nursing or being rocked, which leaves me with a fair amount of time with nothing to do. So I thought I might use this time for updating my blog. Its nice to have a set time to do things. If only I could find time for working out like that... Maybe once it warms up a little I'll start taking Kenzie out for walks during this time but its still too cold for that.

My kiddos seem to stagger their sleep just so to minimize mine. Travis has been going to bed at 7, then he wakes up at 6. Kenzie won't settle down until at least 9 usually more like 10 or 11. Then she sleeps for 6 hours, which is great! But by this time its 4 or 5 and Tim is getting up, which keeps her up. Tim leaves at 5:30 and by the time she settles down guess what time it is. Thats right 6 and Travis comes in to wake me up, which inevitably wakes Kenzie up too. So after all is said and done my nights sleep is cut much shorter than I would like. Here's hoping their timing gets better.

Welcome to 2011

Dear Blog,

So again its been a while since I've visited you. I'm sorry. I have the best intentions to keep you updated and awesome, you know I do. But I got busy: working, starting my family... I've moved a few times since I saw you last... Had two kids! Can you believe it? Bought a house... Started a career, retired from that career (at least for a while)... All excuses I'm sure you've heard before...

Now I have so much going on and I want to share it with someone... I need someone to hear the things that go on in my head, the things I create, the things I see. There is something to be said for communication and when all I get most days is a toddler to interact with I begin to go insane. So blog, I'm turning to you again.

You're always there when I decide to turn to you. I keep expecting you to be gone. Deleted or lost into the world wide web. But by some miracle I keep finding you and remembering the password.

So lets give it a try again shall we. We'll take it slow at first and see where this relationship goes. Here's to small steps and a bright future together.

Your long lost friend,

Liz

Whatcha doing November 4th?

I don't know what you'll be doing november 4th 2008 but I do. Well maybe not exactly the 4th but very close to it!! I'll be in very painful labor. How exciting!! Tim and I are pregnant with our 1st child!! If you couldn't tell by all the exclamation points already we are very excited. Its still really early, only 8 weeks but we can't wait to be parents. Everything seems to be going great so far. The only thing I can complain about is that I am so tired I can hardly do anything else. Oh well, I guess tired is something that I better get used to.
