I've started a new blog! I promised I'd tell you about it! Hop on over to The FLYbaby Diaries to learn more about it!
Basically, I "met" a beautiful woman who calls herself FLYlady a long time ago. You can "meet" her too at www.flylady.net. She gave me some useful tools for conquering my clutter and keeping my space tidy and I've done it halfheartedly for some time. Now, I'm committed. It doesn't have to be perfect, it just has to get done. This diary will follow my progress in this specific endeavor and hopefully encourage others in the process.
Enjoy!

I can't seem to get this updated!
I know, I know. It's been forever. Problem is, it's been one thing after another keeping me from posting. Our computer was giving us fits for a while. It likes to just turn itself off at random. It really is quite a dinosaur and I guess I can't blame the poor thing for being tired and ready to join the great network in the sky. It still does that some, but not as much (for now). Oh how I wish we could afford a new one, but it will be a while yet before that happens. Here's hoping this one holds out until we get another one!
Then, Hubby and I share said pitiful computer. He uses it for job searching and projects that he's being paid for (and to play on) and I often feel like I can't commandeer it for my own purposes.
AND, lately when I've tried to pull up Blogger it won't pull up correctly so that I can actually post something.
Then there are babies and life and all the other things that keep me busy and unable to get on.
Anyway - I do not intend for this to be a pity party! I just want to explain why it sometimes takes a while for me to update. Now to let you in on what's been going on:
Baby Two's first birthday was on Monday. We had his party on Sunday. I will update with pictures soon if I can. I try to save my pics for a Wordless Wednesday.
I'm still trying to get reading done in pursuit of becoming a doula. I finally sat down with my doula and talked to her to get her advice/encouragement/etc. It was a great meeting and I feel like I have a direction to go in now. She's incredible!
We're currently having trouble with Baby One's Jack-in-the-box syndrome. We put him to bed at night and he just keeps popping up. Sometimes it happens several times in a minute. Usually I try to be stone cold and put him back to bed as many times as it takes, but somewhere around 15 times I usually loose my cool, spat his leg and say, "You must stay in your bed now." Sometimes, believe it or not, that works. It always works for at least 10 minutes and then we have to repeat the process. Next week I have an idea how I'm going to handle it. I'll let you know how it goes.
