Hello again!

Wow. Ok. It has been so long since I posted that the format has changed! Omg. Sorry.
My computer broke.
Got it fixed.
Then............I got busy. I wish I had Before pictures! But I do think I will put up After pictures. So you believe me. That I was busy. Busy busy busy. (That's from one of my favorite books...do you know which one? Busy busy busy.)
Here's some simple math for you (are you excited??): Spring cleaning + Nesting + just the right book = massive, Massive, MASSIVE home overhaul. Oh, it's big.
Ok, I know, pictures are necessary. One thing I think I might have found was the USB cord. What I'm saying is, no pictures now. But I will check for the cord tomorrow.
I have no qualms with saying I am just too damn tired to check for it now. I think I am 35 weeks pregnant or so and today was like 90 degrees and some ridiculous amount of humidity. Let's just say, I changed my shirt and underwear three times and was still drenched in sweat all day. I mean glowing with pregnant radiance. I mean glowing profusely.
And I've been Craigslisting every single piece of furniture I could do without.
Which means...I been makin moniiies!! WoooooO!
Oh, baby room? Huh. Not this time. It did not occur to me, actually. Because I know the baby will sleep with me or next to me in a laundry basket...I just didn't see the point, really, of pretending this baby will get a room. Because he sho don't care. And neither do I. But I have been making sure the house is in working order for summer days with a preschool-age kiddo and a newborn. I think I've got it figgered out. (I'm a little sleepy/loopy, so I feel I must type out exactly how I'm saying it. Apologies.)
Except in all this cleaning and sorting and donating and selling, I've forgotten how to cook and eat. Will someone help me? Please! Please come over here and cook something normal and balanced for my child and me to eat. I am NOT a natural cooker (or eater when I get busy or when it gets hot or like.....now), so when I forget my foodstuff rituals, I forget EVERYTHING. Like, we've been eating apples, bananas, poptarts, cereal......is that it? Pretty much. Spaghetti. Toast. And that's it. Like lame old college days food. My poor child thinks this is what people eat. I even have a crockpot! I don't know. I don't know. I need a culinary angel to save the day! Or maybe I should just open a cookbook. Ugh.
Cookbooks. Phooey.
Ok. Good night!!

Grunts and Groans

I'm listening to that sweet sound of my almost four week old trying to cause an explosion in her pants. Which she most likely will be successul at doing. It's a nice sound really. Oh wait. Except that I'm at Wal mart, in the parking lot, in the car, with a sleeping monster of a 3 year old. So guess what? That explosion will have to wait. Because I ain't about to....Yup..... I just heard it come out. Are you seriously grossed out yet?

I forgot about all these fun adventures. Oh my gosh. I wish you could hear this man, I mean girl. She is seriously so masculine when it comes to her noises. People look at me like I did it.

Anyway, I am done.
