Today I was talking about journaling with friends at work and started thinking about how long it's been since I've updated my blog. It was so long ago, that I only had 2 kids then! Today was a great day. It is January 12th and was 68 degrees today.. sunshine all over the place and lots of kids out running and playing in shorts mind you! Tomorrow, though, it's supposed to be in the 30s... Texas weather! Weird weather is the norm in this state. So I decided this afternoon that I would try sometime this week to set up a new blog and start journaling the silly sally happenings of the Macdonald madness in our home. With the addition of Little Lucy in October, tonsils out for Josie, Cub Scouts for Jack, a new job for Dad and back to school for mom and then boom..holidays! .. it's just been a hurricane of sleepless nights and days that all run together, so I wasn't sure how soon I'd be able to sit down here and actually get started with this blog but I thought it might be sometime this week or next. However.. tonight, I was cooking dinner and trying to get backpacks checked and bottles made during the brief 20 minutes or so that Lucy was sneaking a nap in her swing. Josie was cruising around in the toy room doing her thing...demanding "mommy play! mommy play!" I couldn't play because I had to get dinner going... there was a cub scout meeting and stuff to do, so when she began calling "mommy,
WOOK!" I tried to put her off as long as I could. I think I probably put her off for about 5 minutes before I heard again.. "mommy, Wook!" I noticed her at the swing with Lucy and as gently as I could from the kitchen... tried to shoo her away from the sleeping baby until I realized that her "mommy, Wook!" was telling me to look at Lucy. When I finally went over to the NOW not sleeping baby, I noticed 2 Doritos sticking in Lucy's lips. Lucy was just gumming away at the chips like they were the best things since... well formula! Josie said.. "Wucy have bites!" As I pulled the Doritos from Lucy's lips in shock.. I said.. "Wucy cannot have bites!" Yes, even with the 'w' instead of the 'l' Afterall, Lucy is only 3 months old. She's only just begun to smile with those sweet, sweet gums of hers, she's not ready to chew chips yet! These are the days that I don't want to forget. Therefore, Now that it's 10:00 at night and I've calmed down.. and I've told this story a few times to people and now realize how funny it really is...I've decided - I will start my blog today.
I hope that you all have a great day tomorrow all bundled up and warm. Enjoy winter.. summer is but a few months away. Love, Jen
