Monday

Miscellany Monday @ lowercase letters

1. I watched part of the Grammy's last night and am looking forward to watching the rest today. Let's face it, this tired mamma can't stay up until 11:30 anymore. I liked what I saw for the most part except for that weird song by Bob Dylan and Hilary from Lady Antebellum's new bangs. I don't like bangs.
2. Did you know that today is Oregon's birthday? Happy Birthday, beautiful state of mountains, valleys, rivers, and beaches! I love Oregon and could never live anywhere else (hint, hint Marilyn).
3. It pains me to know that I will never have another child. Let me clarify, we are done and compeletely happy with our two girls and I don't really want any more children. But, the thought of never having another child feels kind of like a death, you know? Just knowing I won't, even though I don't want to, is hard.
4. I still really want chickens and Chris is not giving in. At all.
5. I love snickerdoodle cookies more than just about any other dessert out there. So.Stinkin'.Yummy. But last week I had two occasions to have some of the red velvet cake at Costco and oh my gosh, it changed my life. AMAZING! And on coupon right now, so even better. The problem is I don't really have the occasion to buy one right now because it's so huge (it is from Costco after all) that Chris and I would have to eat it every single day and we probably wouldn't even finish it in a week. That is too much cake.
6. Sydney was singing in the shower, which she usually does. She was singing some Taylor Swift (Mine), some Kelly Clarkson (Since You Been Gone, which she shouts at the top of her lungs), and then all of a sudden I hear this: "Five...five dollar...five dollar foot llooooooonnnng." Ah the power of advertising.
7. Savannah sat in the high chair for the first time this morning. She looked so little sitting in that big chair! I'll post some pics soon.
8. Happy Valentine's Day everyone! Chris and I thank God often for bringing us together, giving us two wonderful daughters, and giving us wonderful family and friends that we love!

I have heard that once your done having kids its like a mourning/grieving process. I used to be pretty set on three kids but now I think I have changed my mind due to a variety of circumstances. :)

I recorded the Grammy's...looking forward to watching them! It's nice to be able to fast forward through all the blabbing and just watch the good performances.

I hope you can persuade Chris with the chickens.

We'd split a cake with you, for reals!!!!! :)

Dara, these made me smile :) I think just as difficult is the land of in between. Where you don't know for sure if you want a third baby. Wishing the decision could be made for you so you can come to peace with it... I'm struggling as you can tell. Chickens in suburbia? I'm with Chris ;) Go Syd, sing your heart out chica!

P.S. you been watching AI? That Chris Medena's got a sad heart wrenching story... he's got my vote :)
