Tuesday Thoughts

A lot of stuff has been going on in my life lately. I am going to be having another child. We are busy getting ready for all of that good stuff. My mom’s visit has really helped me to see that I really want to be closer to my family. Not next door, mind you, but in the same time zone. I’ve enjoyed my time in the West, don’t get me wrong, but I am definitely open to a relocation to certain parts of the South.

Mother-in-laws are like a box of chocolate.
My mom is a cool mother in law. She is the type who you can call up if you need help with your relationship, or if you need help with anything. Now my mother-in-law… Let’s just say our relationship has had some tempestuous moments. She surprised me last week, though, with a helpful email and stuff. Maybe people can change… Nah… LOL…

I see back to school sales…
It isn’t even August 1. Couldn’t these people have allowed me the peace and delusion that school won’t be starting around the corner? I’ve received all the clothing back to school catalogs and bulletins and stuff. Not to mention that the local stores are putting out those school bus and pencil shaped displays… I guess I have to suck it up and get ready for that too.

Fool me twice, shame on me
Yesterday morning, the baby tried to start a bath up in my tub. I heard water in my bathroom and promptly closed it up and got her out of there. I have a big tub so that wasn’t even cute. Later on that day, she observed that her granny was in the bathroom washing her hands. She ran into the bathroom. When my mother was finished, she tried to bring the baby with her. The baby put her weight on the door in an attempt to close it in granny’s face. All I could do was shake my head. That one learns quick.

    My mother turned me on to your blog.
    I also blog at Lillian Perry Is Right!
    I see that you cited my Great-grandmother in your March 2006 tribute to Women’s History Month. She was Lillian Payne who was Maggie Walkers best friend, assistant, board member, and the publisher of the newspaper for the Order of St. Luke’s in Richmond.
    Thank you for remembering my Great-grandmother and telling ‘the world’ something about Maggie Walker’s not-so-silent partner.
    Your blog is fun and interesting!
    Big hugs to you.
    By the way…I had four children within seven years, starting at the age of 36. They are now 14-16-18-20. I am so blessed, and I miss the days when they were all under the age of six.
    Enjoy these early days of parenting.
    It gets a little scary when you can’t chase ’em down any longer, and when they begin to pat you on the head because they’re all taller than you.
    For Real…!

    Berry,

    I have had folk ask me if I was trying for a football or basketball team. No. Hee hee hee. Thanks for the compliment though.

    Lillian,

    Thanks for writing! I’ll be peeping in at your blog. Your great-grandmother did awesome things! I know that one day my kids will probably be able to use my head for an armrest, but that’s okay. 🙂

    The baby likes other babies, so she won’t have such a rough time. She may have to make a bit of an adjustment to not being the smallest anymore, but she is kind of bossy, so big sister might be a role that fits her.

    I know that I enjoy it. But I’m naturally bossy, as well. LOL!!!
