Daniel and I were living in Galveston, looking forward to my graduation from UTMB. Since then, I graduated, we got jobs in Dallas, bought a house in Richardson, moved, and had a baby.
I have mostly enjoyed keeping up the blog. It is a lot of work. And sometimes I get discouraged and want to stop writing. I am always delighted to hear that someone follows the blog, but sometimes it is difficult to know what to write.
A wise friend of mine once said "the internet is not to be trusted with your soul" (or something like that -- Sorry, Colleen, I can't remember exactly what you said). I think that's true. But sometimes I don't feel like I put enough of "myself" on the blog. Particularly I feel that way after I read this blogger, whom I LOVE. Anyways, I'm going to try to be better about that.
I really think I'm settling nicely into this stay-at-home mom routine. I like it. A lot. Sometimes I think I should want to be at work. I don't. I really, really think Lucy is so much fun. And I hate that these days go by so quickly, and before I know it my kids will be grown, and I'll have to say goodbye to them (I already have anxiety about this. Ugh). In fact, I frequently look at Daniel and think, "...one compelling reason to keep this marriage alive and healthy is that some day it's just gonna be the two of us again... and I want to still be friends when that day comes." How intense is that?
I got sick last night with a fever and muscle aches. Yuck. Thankfully this is Daniel's work-from-home day, so he's taken over most of Lucy's care.
Lucy's sweet, sweet cousin Jack sang her a lullaby the other day. I couldn't figure out the focus mechanism on our camera, so it's a little blurry.
Bed time is sometimes very sad. Much screaming and gnashing of teeth.
First night in the 60's! Long-sleeved pajamas were irresistable.
Lucy has been trying so hard to figure out the thumb-sucking thing. She took a quick break for a photo-op.
I hope you have had a good week!
OOOooohhh! Is Jack singing that everybody really, really hopes Lucy doesn't die because she is so cute?? Unbelievably cute! I can't believe I'm missing it!!
ReplyDeleteI enjoy your blog so much, Kim. For me, at least, it's a real tie to you and Daniel and Lucy...I feel like I'm not missing Everything. And I'm planning on trying all of your recipes when I fully move into my new house.
(Your profile pic, followed by the bit in this post, "How intense is That?", made me laugh out loud - love it). (And now I'm following Piece of Cake). Miss you.
She is precious Kimie! I love to read your blog (I wish I had enough energy to keep mine going). Maybe one day! Hope all is well!
