Ramblings of an Insomniac

Can't sleep. Shouldn't have taken that nap with RD today. So much I could've gotten done instead of sleeping.

Worried about AR's surgery. Having cyst removed from neck in three weeks. Worried about my procedure. Having suspicious-looking mole removed from my leg in one week. God, if it's cancerous and I die...I'll leave my poor children motherless. There's so much I'll miss... Okay...now I do sound crazy. Over-reaction, anyone?

So much to be done around the house. Colors. What colors should we do? I hope the shutters are in soon. Neighbors seem nice. Someone's always outside. Always. Seems almost "Stepford-like" around here. Not that that's a bad thing, just...different.

I hope RD's having a good night at work. I hope he doesn't sleep too long when he gets home...I really would like to get him to go with me to look at that patio furniture tomorrow. Hope he likes it as much as I do.

I can't believe my ex-boyfriend's friend is my neighbor. Oh, yes, you read that right. I'm okay with that...I hope RD's okay with that. If he wasn't, he'd never say it. I have a feeling we'll be running into "the ex." Kinda weird. Oh well. We're all grown ups, right?

Guess I'll try to get to sleep...again.

Have a good night, everyone!

Back in Blog Land

Where to begin?! I have so many stories to share...but don't know where to start!

We're in the house. We closed last Wednesday and moved in on Thursday. I'm loving it. It's been a crazy week - I'm so sick of boxes - but it's starting to feel like home. Living out of boxes and bags the first few days, it felt more like we were staying in a hotel. So I guess you can say it's felt like some sort of a working vacation...with a lot of overtime!

The kids are doing great. They're really enjoying all the extra space. They were content just to run around for a few days, now they're wanting to investigate every drawer and cupboard, so we've been scrambling to get things babyproofed as fast as we can.

Wow, how they've changed since I last wrote! They're running around and they know so many words!

Our stay with my mother-in-law was wonderful. It was definitely cramped quarters, but overall it was a wonderful experience. I went in ready to really dred it...ready to be irked at all the things I'm supposed to get irked about when staying at the in-law's, but that attitude lasted only a few days. We always got along great, but during our stay there, we became great friends. I can honestly say I really miss her. She's staying over this Friday night, and I can't wait!

I need to take some pictures of the house and get them posted. It's so beautiful! We've met a lot of the neighbors, and they all seem really nice. I can not believe all the kids our kids' age!! This neighborhood is flooded with 1-2 year olds!

I know I've been rambling, but it's been so long! I hope to be able to start visiting your sites soon. So much to catch up on!

Be back SOON!
