Keeping a blog is a love/hate thing for me. I love it because I like to have somewhere to record my thoughts/feelings/stories/what-have-you. I hate it though, because there are times when I have NO idea what to write about. Not that my daily life isn't interesting....I just don't think it'd be interesting for people to read about the daily on-goings of a child care provider. While I'm all about talking about it, I'm finding that most people don't understand unless they, too, are in the business of being a 40-hour a week mommy for 8-11 infants. I'm becoming one of those "mothers" that could talk for hours and hours about her "babies" and the little things they are doing...how Shaun and Skyler will both probably be crawling by the end of the week, how Bella is having a rough time adjusting to sleeping in her crib rather than a swing, and how the dry patches on Bennie's head are getting worse...the eczema cream isn't working like we thought it would. Oh well...I guess that's how it goes...
Mike and I took a big step in "adulthood" today...we looked at houses! It was kinda a surreal thing...another reminder that I'm a "grown up". We're not in any hurry to move into a house - I love this apartment, but the house was cute and I'm can be a bit impulsive, so I called the number on the for sale sign and the guy drove out to show it to us. (Side note: my husband is amazing and puts up with my impatience with life and the impulsiveness that comes with it). It was a VERY cute house...and was "move-in-able"...no ugly wall colors or pet stains on the carpet. We're probably not going to put a bid on it, like I said - we're not in any hurry to move. It's fun, though, to go through the house and dream. Dreaming about babies and guests and decorating...it was awesome.
I love the weekend...I vote they happen more often than every 5 days...

How great Thou art, How great Thou art.
Then sings my soul, My Saviour God, to Thee,
How great Thou art, How great Thou art!
::We must have ideals and try to live up to them, even if we never quite succeed. Life would be a sorry business without them. With them it's grand and great::
"He gives strength to the weary...those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint."

Blogs that I read...
O Lord my God, When I in awesome wonder,
Consider all the worlds Thy Hands have made;
I see the stars, I hear the rolling thunder,
Thy power throughout the universe displayed.
How great Thou art, How great Thou art.
Then sings my soul, My Saviour God, to Thee,
How great Thou art, How great Thou art!

Best post title ever!
Okay, first of all, I love your blog, and I could comment on every single post, but I won't, cuz that might get annoying:)
But I sat here nodding my head and agreeing with everything you were writing about:)
But my comment on this post is "Oh, I am so one of those 'moms' who talks about 'her' kids constantly." You already know that from reading my blog and seeing all the stuff about Ellis:) And I was totally like that when I worked at the daycare too -- it's actually the reason why Jay finally said "You need to quit the daycare" (The one I worked at before taking care of Ellis.) He said "You used to come home from the other one and tell me all about the kids, and I felt like I knew them. Now, you hardly get to be with them (I was in management), and you're just frustrated and stressed, and I don't hear anything about them anymore." Great insight, and the push I needed to find a new job.
Anyway, I love that you love your babies, cuz I totally understand:)
