Technology fasinates me. I am in the library posting this. I have just checked my e-mail and will probably then use word to work on a writing assignment for my class and then e-mail it home. Truly you can be connected at all times. Good and bad. I am in the children's section right now- just picked up a bunch of books for C and a few more yoga tapes (more on this later!). It is so sad because there are tons of kids here playing games on the computer- so not what the libary is for... anyway, off my soap box.
Brains...R, my husband and only reader (I'm not ready to draw attention to this yet!), asked what the brains part of my title was all about. I am still trying to work out the kinks in my mind but I thought it might be neat to post a question each day that people could discuss with friends, husbands etc... I feel, as a stay at home mom, so starved for thinking time, brain time, time when I can feel like I am still smart. I know it takes a lot of brains to run a household, stimulate C and K, keep everyone safe but it is such a different kind of thinking. I miss the old kind of thinking. So here is today's question... I am stealing this straight from Mitch Albums (spelling?) new book. If you could spend one more day with a person you have lost, who would it be and what would you talk about. Go talk about it with someone- get the brain working!
Babies...I am struggling to function today. As usual, I have not gotten enough sleep to. Caroline had a dream last night and then wanted my to make sure that back up bunny was on his pillow. This was two separate visits. Then Katherine was up from 1:30 to 3:30, screaming. This is so infuriating as we finally had her going through the night- Sunday, Monday and Tuesday nights she slept and then that... We think that it is all the work she is doing to crawl- she is just so close... Watching her is truly amazing- she has really gone through all the steps and is now just working to coordinate it all- she can do each piece separately but just can't put it together. It's really interesting and seems to be a theme- I just don't remember much of Caroline's babyhood. I really don't remember her going through all of the crawling steps quite so deliberately. The other interesting this is that Katherine is going to crawl before Caroline. It's so funny because their personalities are so different. Katherine is so much more laid back. I'm glad that later in life she will be able to say that she did something first!
Anyway, time to wrap this up so I can get home in time to send Mary Lou on her way. More later...
Just need to add a Caroline comment... Rob asked her how her day was today and she replied, "Not good. I was up last night so much." So funny and so true!
