Bloggity, blog, blog, blog...

God knows, I really should be sleeping right now. I have a busy, long day ahead of me. But, my hair is wet, and I hate sleeping with wet hair. And I refuse to blow dry it at 11pm-hell, I rarely blow dry it during the day.

I've been having blogger's block lately...well, sort of. I know exactly what I want to write about, and keep writing it in my head, but so far, haven't set typing to screen. I just can't right now. Blogging about what I truly want to say will open a can of worms I'm just not quite ready to open yet-in fact, I probably won't ever be ready to open it-it's just not in the best interest of well, anyone really.

While my blog is/will be mostly about my family-me, the husband, and the kids, it will occasionally be about other stuff that strikes me as bloggable. It won't always be all rainbows and cupcakes either, so be a little prepared.

Some of you know this, some of you don't-I'm a pretty liberal person. Yes, I am a *gasp* Democrat. I am pretty darn close to a tree-hugger, albeit I do not hug trees. I am not nearly as crunchy and granola as some, but I definitely enjoy a little environmentalism. I'm not quite apt to follow the crowd...unless the crowd is leading me somewhere I just can't resist. I don't like to make too many waves, so I often don't speak what I am thinking-but you can be sure that my brain is churning, silently yelling, and probably wondering, wtf?

Anyways. Some days, you'll get cute pictures of the kids doing things in Japan. Other days, you might get quite the earful. Either way, enjoy.

So,

Welcome to February...

February 3rd, already! Where does the time go?

We've been pretty busy since my last blog. Unfortunately, not so much fun stuff as just taking care of stuff.

We (the boys and I) all got sick last week. More ear infections for Kieran and colds for both Brendan and me. Brendan had also been complaining of hearing "noises" in his ear-and we got in for a hearing test-and he has a blocked tube. So, we go see Dr. Bloom at ENT on Monday to find out what to do. Poor Kieran will be having an ENT consult soon too-he's probably going to be getting tubes as well-he keeps having antibiotic-resistant infections.

We've made more headway on packing stuff up at the house. We're trying to reduce the cost of having the movers move our things (the estimate was around $1600) so we've packed a bunch of the smaller stuff and will move the boxes ourselves-starting TOMORROW! We do our walk-through tomorrow morning and then get our keys. I am so excited! I am so looking forward to having a yard for the boys to play in. I am not so much looking forward to being a little further away, but, well, trade-offs.
