I'm here!

Hi everyone! Thank you so much to everyone who commented while I've been gone. Staying at my MIL's is going great. It's a great set-up...thank goodness, because we don't close on the new house until July 20. EEK! I haven't been posting because her computer is PAINFULLY slow.

I'll try to post when I can; otherwise, I'll be back in a few weeks!

I miss you all! :)

TTFN

RD's getting ready to pack up the computer, so the next time I'm writing it will be from my MIL's PC (you can read that as: I will be very careful what I write! ;)).

I should be back later in the week.

Have a great weekend, everyone!

See...I'm back already!

Dear Mr. New Neighbor Man,

Please put a shirt on. No one wants to see your hairy back or flabby belly. I can see under that layer of mush lies a body that was once something to look at. I'm sure it was somethin' back in the day, but those days are long gone.

Please, for all of us, let it go.

Thank you. Now I must get back to packing.

Signed,

Your soon-to-be old neighbor

Scattered Thoughts

I'm not sure when we're packing up the computer. We're officially moving into my MIL's house Monday sometime. We won't be setting up our computer there, but we will have access to her's.

I'm sure over this next week, I'll be lucky to get on-line at all. I'm hoping once we get settled, I should be able to post from her house.

IF NOT (big if), we'll be in the new house sometime early-July. So either way...I'll be back! :)

Everybody Loves Her

THE GIRL that is. Yes, I think my daughter is precious and super special in every way, but can't people see there are two very special brothers with her?

Why is everyone drawn to the girl? She is usually the one hamming it up. The one hanging out the stroller waving at strangers passing by, but even when the boys are putting on their own little show, people still go right to AR.

And don't get me started on my parents. I realize that AR looks like a little clone of me - something that is probably quite mesmerizing to my parents, but that doesn't make her any more special than the boys. Both my parents go right to AR, hold her, tickle her...while the boys watch on. My mother keeps buying little presents for AR, but nothing for the boys. I've addressed this to her before, and it's obvious I need to address it again.

But it's not just my parents. Maybe it's just a girl-thing. Maybe they're looked at as sweeter. I don't know. But it just pains me to watch the boys watching on, and it hurts me to think that there will ever be a time they will feel second best.

So it's our job to make sure they never feel that way. We're lucky to have three such very special babies.

Why do the witty comebacks always come so late?

I heard probably the worst comment to date so far regarding having triplets. I was loading the kids up in the stroller this morning, getting ready to look in yet another furniture store, when a woman came up to me and said, "You sure have your hands full! Are them triplets?! Why...I wouldn't wish them on my worst enemy!"

I responded with, "No...no! Please don't feel sorry for anyone with triplets. They are truly wonderful. We are very blessed." Nice sappy comeback, but what I should have said is, "I wouldn't either. They don't deserve them!"
