2 years later, so much more interesting

Hey remember when I started a blog like 2 years ago?  I do!  I reread my last posts, pretty entertaining I think... so I'm going to continue my sporadic posting and see if I get any better at it.  If nothing else it's a good writing exercise and I don't really have anything going on.  Except now I have 2 kids, 2 dogs, 2 cats, 1 husband, and a full time job- and we still live in a 2 bedroom condo!  Yeah!  Most of the time I think, "I'm so lucky I have it all," but other times I think, "It's too much!"  I occasionally let myself long for the days when it was just me.  I have always loved time to myself and now I'm lucky if I can pee with the door closed.  I know this is not a unique story, it's every parent who ever was, but now it's me so it's different and much more interesting.  Let the journey continue

New Year, New Blog

I've never really been one for resolutions, it just seems kind of stupid.  Today, for no particular reason I'm going to swear to be a totally different person than I have been my entire life, I'm going to be like this now- insert unrealistic goals- stop swearing, (fuck that), go to the gym, (have a kit-kat) etc. I on the other hand started a blog before the new year so this doesn't really count.  I did on the other hand find myself wishing this morning to see poop, yup I wished to see poop, I'm pretty sure in my line of work and with my life that one will happen for me. 

Let's see how this new year started.  I was asleep on the couch when someone started banging on the door and the dogs started barking.  Aaron and I both staggered off the couch to look out the windows and calm down the dogs, both of us cursing whoever the hell would make so much noise... yeah you see where this is going, it was midnight, on new years, it was fireworks.  We realized it pretty quickly, quick kiss, back to sleep, Aaron on the couch, me up in bed.  So, we got to start 2011 as crochety old people complaining about the noise waking us up- our life is so exciting.

Yesterday was a bit of a bust, we tried to go sledding, and ended up driving through the mountains for a while and going out for an early dinner in Boulder. Which was fun, but not exactly what we had planned.  Then after dinner we discovered Maggie's diarrhea, which seems to pretty much have run it's course by this morning, but it has me wishing for poop, normal kid poop.  So, that's my life now, and my wish for all my friends and family in 2011 is for normal poop

Apparently I have too much time on my hands

So, I've been reading a lot of blogs lately- mostly people who  have interesting lives, or who are traveling, or who can cook, and I thought- maybe my life is interesting enough for a blog.  I mean it's not really, but it seems like an online diary would be fun to look back on things and an easy way for family to keep up with the riveting daily moments of my life.  For example today, um, OK nothing has really happened yet today, but the day is early yet and I've already started a blog so that's something.
