Changes

Notice I changed my blog colors? I felt like the red/black was more "winter" in theme. So I went with the blue and green. I'm so summery now. I feel light as air.

Not really, although I am happy to report that I've lost a couple more pounds. Greg says that when you casually say "a couple", as in "a couple dollars" or "a couple of friends", you always mean TWO. If you say "a few", it means more.

So I've lost literally a couple. If you can't figure it out from the above paragraph, you didn't pass basic high school algebra. Or reading comprehension.

In any case, change is afoot.

I haven't posted in a week. Sometimes I have something to say, and sometimes I have laundry (oh, crap, I have laundry...sigh). The past week has been good but busy as always. I am currently thoroughly enjoying all my boys being asleep while I sip a mom drink and watch TV.

The boys are great but some days are so trying. I just don't get it when they won't sleep or cooperate or are fussy. I also make myself feel better by reminding myself that I was once this little and I learned. But some days are just...long.

In good news:

- Nate is walking! Each day a few more steps. I literally cannot believe he will be one in a month. Seriously. WTF. The year has flown by.
- James and I often have discussions about people and who's a boy and who's a girl. The other day I asked him what Greg and Uncle Dave were - he said they were "mans". We'll get the plural thing down soon.
- James also claimed the other day that Monty (the cat) has a little penis. Sometimes the word penis is said too often in the house.
- James prays every night for a dog and a baby sister. We'll see about (a) and (b).
- One of Nate's top front teeth is through (the others are following). He looks a bit lopsided/red neck right now. But I love him.
- Speaking of my redneck, he is still not sleeping through the night. I mean, really? Seriously? SERIOUSLY? I really don't know how much more of this I can take. Otherwise, there will not be an (a) or a (b) (see above).
- Our summer has gotten all filled up. Good thing. I was worried it would drag.
- Some days I just want to capture my life forever like it is. I am incredibly blessed. Some days I just want to throw in the towel.
- I'm about THIS CLOSE to signing up for a marathon. Gulp.
- I feel stronger right now, at this very moment of my life, than I ever have. I have never been this sure of myself. It feels really good. Is that age, motherhood, or just plain old wisdom?

Am I sharing too much? Oh, I've had a few margaritas.

Oh crap. The laundry.
