For mom

Just to let you know mom, I still think of her too!

Sleep anyone?

I would love to sit here and type to you and say right now both children are sound asleep and will be until 8 am tomorrow but no that would be lie. Rose is snoring happily and will most likely stay asleep until around 3 am where she will get up wonder into our room and need to be sent back to bed. Lily we will see more often then that. Its 10:25 pm and we are on our second pass off. I have not had a moment to myself for a very long time. So I am asking do you have book that worked for you or didn't work but you think may work for us. Then leave a note about the book or better yet pack up the book and send it to us and well cover the charge of the postage. I promise to mail it back to you after I have read it and given it a go. I am willing to go so far as to say perhaps the whole family needs to go organic and sleep under the full moon! I'm not even kidding. I love back to the earth stuff! Cloth diapers, baby wearing, gardening for your food, I just wish I could come up with a way to get the girls to sleep without having them cry for hours on end.

in school

Just finished signing Rose up for school and she starts at 8 am on Monday.
Lily has come into her own and lets just say she's bad. We love green markers, red clay clumps, cat food and cat water.
Liam is happy at work.
I am taking lots of walks and trying not to fall apart.
We'll see what the weekend brings.
Thanks for thinking of us everyone. We don't have a number yet but when we do expect a call.
Were going to be seeing friends we haven't seen since Rose was only a few days old.

I'm still standin...

Okay I'm actually sitting.
Lily doesn't sleep anymore. Not like she was doing a whole lot of that before but the tiny apartment has sent her over the edge. Rose does nothing but cry about everything. Everything sets her off and there is nothing I can do to stop the screaming and tears. So every night I pray that soon things will get better or at least I will get more then a few hours of sleep in a row. I think I'm doing something wrong but it beats me if I know what that is. I just feel like a failure. Yes everyone is alive but I'm not sure anyone is truelly living or are even happy. We are working as a team for the most part and I have already been grocery shopping and found a pediatrician for the girls (Rose has Strep throat). Liam goes to work and I try to fight back the tears I feel in my chest. I fear I might fall apart while he's gone. What if my patients dries up, what if I can't simply smile at yet another temper tantrum? What if I fail? So I'm sitting down here in NC trying not to fall apart praying that soon it will all come together and the years of moving and packing and adjusting will all be over. Please pray I don't just break down because it feels as if I might.

help............

Do you live in NC?
Do you feel like a new friend?
Well I have a deal for you!
Three lovely ladies just lookin' for fun. ( wait that sounds like a singles ad)
Were desperate and lonely (okay that sounds like one too)
Oh forget it!

We are here...where are we again?

Spousal unit here.

Just a quick note to say that we have safely arrived (but not without a little adventure, naturally).

The [small!] apartment is filled with a myriad of boxes and the storage unit is packed to the roof.

Hopefully in the coming days we will once again have a home telephone number, functioning TV, a shower curtain and other such necessities of modern life.

I thousand thanks to all who have gone far above and beyond to assist us in this rather surprisingly monumental task.  I assure you, we could not have made it this far without you!

More later,

Third ring of hell?

The third ring of hell... or our 13th move, coincidence I think not!

Monday: call about utilities and sign apartment contracts, Pack all things not moving

Tuesday: Pack all thing including the living!

Wednesday: Load all fricken day long

Thursday: Get carpets cleaned and then scrub apartment

Friday: Take loaded truck with pickup truck attached followed by mini van with one adult two kids and four (foaming and pooping) cats to North Carolina via an 9 hour drive

Friday evening/morning: unload into apartment and storage unit.

Saturday: convince sugar loaded and certainly angry children that sleep in necessary for health reasons (mine).

Sunday: CRY and call my mommy!

Ps, I believe I am coming down with something horrible that is either
a. The black death. (sounds yummy doesn't it)
b. I have always sounded like Mr. Coffee when I take a deep breath and really it's nothing to worry about.
c. Pneumonia
d. Bronchitis
e. some yet to be diagnosed crazy disease of the lungs.

SO I ask you don't you think Dante described this once as the third ring of hell? It could have been the fourth or fifth I am on very little sleep and delirium is setting in.

I am 6

Today you turned 6 and I wanted to write you something terribly profound but all I can say is I'm glad your here. You had a rough start when there were two and then there was one but you mustered on. You were born turning blue and then boom you were two. You ran around with dusty blond curls with not a care who was watching and then you were 4. You believed you could rule the world and almost did and then quietly you turned 6. I think I wasn't watching when it happened. When you grew out of your diapers and pins and into your jeans and book bag. I must of blinked when you learned how to crawl and then how to run. I think I was sleeping when you mastered the remote and the phone. Was I turned around not paying attention when just yesterday you were 1. Now my baby you are 6 and it is I who must muster on.

I knit there for I am...

Yummy yarn from Lori. I am going to try to make a baby sweater out of it.

Ps, the kids are still trying to kill me.*STOP* Week two and still no end in site. *STOP* Send for reinforcements. *STOP*

Vicks Vapor rub for your feet

Our feet are greased and were ready to go. I have started putting Vick's vapor rub on my little ones feet and it seems to work for about 4 hours. Lily has Croup so anything is better then the barking seal coming from her room and the phelmy cough coming from the other one. So we have our dueling cool mist humidifiers on and our tooties are smelling grand.
