Let's back up

So, yes, we are ready for a No. 2. But right now the kid we have is plenty of challenge and plenty of fun. Lily is 2 years and 3 weeks old, and I am proud to say she is about 90% potty trained. So proud of her! So here's how our morning started:

"Lily, do you want to use the potty?"

"No thanks."

"Okay. Well, mommy has to use the potty."

Mommy goes potty.

"Good job, mama!"

"Thanks, Lily. Now what do I do?"

I'm thinking she should answer with something about washing my hands. Instead:

"Play!"

And it isn't quite 6 in the morning. Happy Saturday!

The first one

I've never really understood the whole blog-thing. Who has time to sit around and read about other people's random musings? But my life is different now. I am a mom. And while I was kinda high-strung before, I am full-blown nuts now. So I find myself having random musings that I really want to share - and in the end I guess I don't really care if anyone wants to hear it.

Of course, at this single moment in time no random musings are there. I am just sitting here alone in our dark living room with a glass of cold wine sitting next to me on the couch. No noise but the whir of the air conditioning. And now the door to my two-year-old's room that just cracked open. Uh-oh.

Kid back in bed.

So the news of the day is mainly that I'm sitting here starting my blog while my husband is out with some friends having a few beers. The hope is that when he comes home we will hit the sack, have some fun, and ... tada! ... a new baby will be here in about 10 months. All we need is said husband. Un-drunk. And me. Awake. I'll keep you posted.
