IT'S THAT TIME OF YEAR AGAIN

....When I actually update this mother.

Things have been going well for the most part. Motherhood has found me digging into the vault of my Childhood Songs memory and so far I have only recovered There Was An Old Woman Who Swallowed a Fly and This Old Man.

I still haven't quite figured out why she swallowed the fly.

Julia doesn't mind the repetition but I am wishing I could think of more - or at least come up with some different words. Maybe the old woman could swallow some of my cooking. Perhaps she'll die. Wouldn't surprise me!

The little Stinky has been having a good time lately. After the first day of day care she took to it like an old pro and I think she might have enjoyed herself. She likes watching kids play and enjoys being outside, so I think she had a good time. It is almost too bad the 2 weeks was cut short, but I am glad that she's back home with daddy and I can come home at lunch and see them both. I am pretty sure I had a worse time leaving her than she had with me being gone.

We went to the zoo on Saturday and had a nice time. It was a beautiful day and the animals were out playing because it wasn't too hot. Julia watched the otters and maybe saw a monkey or two in the monkey house. The tigers were cute too. It was a very nice day.

Baby poop is a very serious issue in our house. I've never been so excited about it or spoken so openly about it in my life. It is a good thing when it happens and a relief for everyone involved (heh heh get it? Relief!). Which is probably more than anyone ever wanted to know...

And suddenly we are "those" kind of parents. Egad. Someone slap me.

The reality of a possibility of moving has been hitting me lately. There is so much to worry about and I have been trying to find more to worry about. It's like I don't have a hobby or enough to do or something. Nothing is 'for sure' and it's not like we won't go through every thing before it happens. The reality is that it is going to be eventually, not necessarily in the next 6 weeks. At least that's where it stands at this moment. Next week I might be singing a different tune. Or screaming a different "concern" as Rob likes me to call them.

I am going to make one hell of a housewife. I haven't figured out if it is hell in a good sense or hell in a 'how the hell do you expect me to eat THAT?!" kind of a sense. And again, only time will tell and it won't be forever. Gah.

We are planning a trip to Minot this weekend. I hope that Rob is going to go too. It will be nice to get back - it seems like it has been forever. Hopefully Julia handles it better than she did last time.

Oh I better get back to it. Enjoy some pictures :)
