Real life.

Hi.

Welcome to my new blogspace. I privatized the last one with D running for office and all. But I kind of missed having my own little blog where I get to talk to you about the wild happenings 'round here. Liiiike, for example, I don't know, maybe that I'm pregnant for the third time in three years? Just little stuff like that.

Or like how Selah has started preschool and Jack has started crying for her and yelling "Saaay-duh!" after we drop her off. (Be still, my heart.)

Or how my sweet, potty-training Selah flushed the toilet over and over the other day until it flooded the bathroom, and while I futilely attempted to sop up the mess with the bath mat, Jack came and laid himself down in the flood.

Basically I wanted to share with you the parts of stay-at-home-mothering - the happy, sad, hard, hilarious - that make me stop and look around daily and think, in the wise words of David after the Dentist, "Is this real life?" or "Why is this happening to me?" or "Is this going to be forever?"

Glad you're here to appreciate these moments with me. Hope you'll stay awhile and maybe even feel comfortable sharing your "Is this real life?" moments, too.

Welcome.
