Way too late to be blogging

It's 1:27 a.m. and I should be in BED! Tony, Will, and Brooke are sawing logs and I'm just having a great ol' time reading every one's blogs!

Things that have been on my mind and heart:

Brooke is just plain sweet! She is growing and cooing and doing all the cute things that makes me want 6 or 7 more babies!!!

Will told me that his toys are just the right size tonight. I love his perspective!

Tony took Will Mother's Day shopping on Saturday. Will came busting through the backdoor shouting, "Happy Mother's Day!!!!" He had the cutest smile on his 3 year old face!!!! He handed me an In Style magazine and a big piece of chocolate cake. Then, husband came in the door with this awesome bouquet of flowers. (That Will picked out!) I felt so very special!!!!

Growing closer to Christ. I told Tony after church tonight I desire to be a happier Christian. I want to follow Him DAILY and know his will DAILY. . . not just every now and then. I do feel his presence and I know he is working on me.

I'm mad about House last night. It was a show about intense medical mysteries. Last night they completely made it so very trashy. Now, it's like CSI. . .I just can't stomach it. I guess I will just start TIVOing Sesame Street or Mr. Rogers and watching it when the kids go to bed because that is the only thing worth watching. I miss The Cosby Show. Where are shows like that??? If I had all the money in the world I would start a Christian television production company with great dramas and comedies that you could actually enjoy.

So, I'm nursing Brookadee and potty-training Willstonian. His doc said no more diapers. He gave us a great plan and it's working. However, I was just so afraid of climbing that mountain (full of you know what!). So, I prayed that God give me the strength to tend to Brooke's newborn needs and tend to Will's stinky hiney. God answered my prayer and has given me strength to do both.
It's not the picture of organization around here. . . but it's getting done!

So excited about our new preacher, Randy and his wife, Andrea. Oh yes, and their sweet four kiddos! They bring so much sunshine to our church! Andrea has a nifty blog listed on my contacts or whatever you call that list. She is a really good writer. Read it when you get a chance!

Did you know Blog is short for Web log???

Did you know that honey bees have more brain cells than other bees in the hive??? This is because they spend their time exploring and venturing out into the world. I'm reading this super cool book (a tiny bit at a time) called Magic Trees of the Mind. It's about brain development and ways we can encourage our children to be intelligent. While I was prego with Will I asked my principal about any books he could recommend over child development. He said Magic Trees was the only one that counted. Anyway. . . I feel like I'm back in one of my linguistic courses. It's challenging and I'm enjoying it.

Now it's almost 2:00 a.m. and I think I'm growing a bit sleepy. . . Good night computer. OK Computer. . .Radiohead joke.

I wish I thought as clearly as you at 1 in the morning! No, wait. That would mean I would be awake at 1 in the morning. Nevermind. :-)

Fun post! Love all your thoughts!

Great post! I love Brookadee and Willstonian...too cute! I have to admit, the Radiohead joke was the best, and a little surprising. Do you guys listen to Radiohead? I actually have OK Computer in my cd player in the car right now!!!!
