Say cheese Ty!

Got a few wiffles, Sam?

Various Thoughts

Various thoughts from my crazy pregnant brain:

• Children's footed sleepers should all have that flap covering the zipper. Sam has discovered how to unzip and undress.


• Bleach is absolutely necessary in bathroom cleaning products. I tried other shower cleaners (in an effort to avoid the buring sensation in my lungs in our unventilated bathroom) but they simply didn't work. One round with the Tilex with bleach and it looks sparkly clean.


• Tigers in the playoffs means a lot of nights watching baseball in a row.


• When it rains, it pours. In the last few weeks, my 19 year old TV (that I bought in 5th grade with my allowance) died, our 6 year old laptop died (pretty sure), our 9 year old Nissan is running poorly ... and it's either a $500 fix or a much bigger engine issue fix.


• Baking / cooking / any task takes 1/5th the time without kids biting your ankles.


• I can't stand regular radio stations lately. Between the announcers and the ridiculous songs, I seem to find myself listening to NPR (which also repeats itself a lot and has stupid stories). Yes, I just turned 55.


• DVR is a fabulous invention.


• "Expensive" trash bags are worth every penny.


• I love my family. Obviously, I love Jack and my boys but I also love my parents, siblings and niece and nephews. Sometimes I forget how great I have it that we all truly get along and like to be together -- and it is a wonderful blessing.


• Random info for my never updated baby books: Ty is 33.5 lbs, Sam is 27.5 at 22 months.
