Forever the slacker...

Ahhh, see, I'm so lazy that I've gone months without so much as a single blurb on my blog! Ooooh, how surprising! No, not really. However, I do kind of have an excuse...babies. Two beautiful, smiling, recently cooing, adorable little girls. Oh yeah, and did I mention they aren't the greatest sleepers? Yeah, well, there ya go. I'm in the throws of post partum sleep deprivation in the worst way! And it would be okay--except that I have 2 other kids to take care of during the day and I can't "nap when they nap"--which, btw is the single worst piece of advice anyone can give a mom! Um, hello...I'm not stupid--I'll nap any chance I get! You don't have to give me permission!! Ha! But I digress--no naps because of the boys...yeah, so even that would be okay, but then I've got my own version of a chainsaw sleeping next to me! How on earth that man can snore so loud and not wake himself is beyond me! Sheesh! Ahh, but he's tired too! So much more tired than me--how could he not be? What with his instant narcalepsy and inability to be roused at all and sleeping without a person (or people) attached to him, sucking the very life out of him...of course he should be exhausted--who wouldn't be? Geez.

But, I love him. He's currently up for the Husband of the Year award--not many men would take 7 wks off to help out with the new babies! And not every guy would step up to night duty and give up his bed for a recliner in the living room (I got the couch) so that he can be more help to me. He changes diapers--cloth ones at that--and he even knows how to wash them too! Ooooh, aaahhhhhh! He isn't afraid to jump right in (although sometimes it's after a slight push from me) and tackle crying, wailing babies and he puts the boys to bed every night. Yup, he's one heck of a guy!!

Well, okay, clearly I've rambled long enough--but hey, at least I wrote something! Yay me!

Until next time...

I second that on the utterly useless piece of advice. Kudos to Chris! He's definitely earned Husband of the Year. Speaking of awards, you pretty much rock yourself Dawg! You make it all seem so effortless :-)
