baby on the brain

had the best time in colorado. my little man was just perfection, only 2 moments where he really truly acted up and one time was just tired. didn't get to spend as much time with mom as i'd have liked, only a few hours but i got lots of baby time. spent a fair part of saturday and sunday with alden and then monday evening got to meet baby elizabeth! she decided to make an early entrance. both the kids are really precious and so little compared to my giant of a child. holding tiny alden and even tinier elizabeth just makes that clock tick even louder. i gotta make sure i keep myself from being to obnoxious about more kids.
speaking of kids, the little darling one is rather restless in his bed tonight. hoping he's just trying to find his comfy spot and he isn't having some sort of problem. lord knows i could use some decent sleep tonight.
i think i'm done for this post.

pre trip avoidance

i'm doing a great job of avoiding the little things i need to do before we head out tomorrow. i so need this time away. it's been way too long since i've seen my family and i desperately need a break from frednecksburg. i shouldn't call it that, this place is growing on me. i just need to see a different part of the country for a few days. patrick keeps telling me about how gorgeous hawaii is, how he'd love for me to be there with him. i'm so jealous that he gets to go to all these places and i get to stay here and plug away at my normal boring life.
total subject change....i gotta remember to set the vcr to tape bsg while we're out of town. don't want to come back and have missed an episode.
i'm suddenly rather tired and should get to bed at a reasonable hour tonight. tomorrow will be a long day. this whole trip is going to be busy. maybe while we're in denver, patrick and i can get some time to ourselves, let the mini blind spend some quality time with his grandparents. they are just gonna flip when we show up, he's entirely changed since they saw him last. hell, he blows me away daily with some cute thing he's said or done that shows he's a big boy now.
ok, i'm rambling again so i guess i need to get some stuff done for real.

my first effort

ok, i am now a blogger. does that mean i have to come up with pithy and clever things to discuss? can i just ramble about my normal life? oh wait....I CAN DO WHATEVER I DAMN WELL PLEASE IN MY OWN BLOG!
there, got that out of my system.
now for that normal life stuff....mr blind is in hawaii for work this week. he keeps talking about how he'd like to have me there. i would love to be there too, this winter in virginia crap sucks. someday.............we are all meeting in denver this weekend, family gathering stuff, dad and stepmom wedding anniversary, mom birthday, nephew is one month, niece to be born on tuesday, etc.
one of the neater girls at work quit today. management really didn't help her out with her medical issues, just kept moving her desk and never addressing the heavy perfume smell or smoke people had lingering on their clothes, said it wasn't their place to tell people they couldn't wear perfume or smoke during office hours. i'm sad to see her go, she and i got along well.
so now i've started blogging, my first entry seemed to go well, i hope i get the motivation to do this more often than just this one time.....here's hopin anyway.
