things

I went back and read through several of my blog posts during pregnancy.
By far my favorite was this one.
I miss being pregnant.
Which is weird, because I hated being pregnant.

My posts made me laugh.
I don't usually think of myself as funny,
but I hope once in a while I make you chuckle.
I laugh hard at my own jokes so I like to think that once in a while someone is laughing with me.

I've also noticed this blog has become so much more serious since the baby was born.
Where has my sense of fun gone?
Moms need to be fun.

Here's the thing.  Things.  There's lots of things.
I'm about knee-deep in moving mess still (at least it's not neck-deep anymore).
Tyler has "orientation" (which is an excuse to make first-year law students read even MORE) starting on Wednesday, and real law school starts next Monday.
TJ can crawl now so nothing is safe.
He also has a tooth (and almost another).  Poor baby.  We go through about one bottle of Tylenol a day.  Why in heavens name do they make those bottles so tiny?
He can climb, and prefers jumping around in his crib to taking naps.  Adorable, but problematic.
I start school in September, so I've got a couple of weeks.
My kitchen floor still turns everybody's feet black, despite my best scrubbing efforts.
There and gnats and mosquitoes everywhere in our apartment.  Every time I kill a skeeter, someone's blood splatters all over the wall.
Our upstairs neighbors have four kids and their constant pitter-patter reminds me all the time that my life must be blissfully easy, with only one child.
It's so much fun (except the mosquitoes), so much excitement and happiness.

On one hand, I like blogging and writing about what's going on in my life.  I love reading back through all of my adventures.  I love reading other people's stories, and I like to think that someone will like to read mine.

On the other hand, I feel desperately busy and I only have one baby and I want more babies, so life will only get busier.  My time is so stretched as it is, and there isn't a good reason to keep blogging.  Plus, I'm just not sure how much of my children I want to put on the internet.  I've thought about blogging anonymously, but whats the point of that?

I don't want my kids to grow up seeing me on the computer all the time.  I already have to spend several hours a day on the computer to take care of classwork.  Maybe eliminating blogging will help me start cutting the ties to my computer.

Being a mom, wife, and student is more than enough right now.  I might come back to this, I might not.  I don't know.  Just giving you a heads up, so you don't feel obligated to check every couple of weeks to see if I've finally posted..

Thanks for reading, I've loved sharing my adventures with you!
