Jibber Jabber

I’ve been struggling lately to figure out what to post, and maybe I have just been completely unmotivated. Yeah, that’s affirmative. After all those days I worked in a row that meshed into one, I have been so worn out ever since. And while I told Josh that I don’t know what to post about and I have nothing to post about, I am just making up excuses. There is always something to post about. The thing is, though, that I just don’t want to get all crazy with the writing some nights, and I think about writing a post and I just feel overwhelmed. For example, last night I wanted to post this drop dead funny photo of me and Josh attempting to use the camera timer to take a holiday photo of the two of us. I was nearly eight months pregnant with Bea and we did about ten photos where were doing karate chops and side kicks at the camera and they make me laugh out loud just thinking about them. Only, I could not find those damn photos because my computer kept freaking out when I tried to go into “My Pictures” because "sheesh woman, you must be the only one that has about five jillion photos." Anyway, whenever I do run across it I will be sure to post the photo, and only the photo. That said and the fact that I still feel this way, I will be brief and to the point about some items that are currently on mind:

We went to Pismo Beach over Memorial Day with the girls and our friends V and E. It was a blast to say the least. The men rode on ATVs, the ladies played on the beach and at the park. I was a horrible mom who didn’t take any pictures of the fun. We even found some really cool sand dollars on the beach that were still whole. The best part: V is pregnant with her first child and I can FINALLY scream it to world because she is in her safe spot now. So read her blog.

I am excited about V and E, and of course the baby on the way, and that we will finally have some local friends that will be with a child. We don’t have much of them in these parts. But, everything seems to happen at once. My best gal M is returning from Hawaii next month and she has children. Let the fun begin. I was just going to link to her blog, but it appears she has taken it down. Tsk tsk tsk. Anyway, I am looking forward to family fun times, and adults mingling while children are playing.

Marathon madness. L (she doesn’t have a blog), myself, and M (from above) will be doing the crazy 12 mile deed come October. M asked me how my training was coming. What I told her was that I did go running, but with a teeny tiny twist. We were out for a walk and Bea wanted to hold my hand. Then she wanted to run. She ran holding my hand (and practically dragging me) for about two blocks. That is the most I have run since I broke my ankle back in ’98 (a story for another time). I told her that Bea could kick my ass in a marathon right now, which my friends, I am totally not fibbing about. A three year old, yep.

I don’t know if anyone else is completely psyched for the LOST finale this evening, but I am, so shush if you aren’t. I just hope the kids go to sleep before 9. That’s all I’m sayin’.

I’m on my own with the kids for most of the weekend. I am at a loss for activities for my highly active, oh-so-spirited, toddlers. We are burnt out on finger painting, coloring, bubbles, parks, walks (or maybe I am the one burnt out). Anyone have any good ideas? And keep in mind that anything out in public can still be a big time stressor when the ratio is one adult to two toddlers. Seeing as how I cannot take them to see the Sex and The City Movie that I must see as soon as possible, I need some options.
