last week jeff told me he was starving for a blog post. i told him i haven't been able to think of anything interesting to say. after all, my brain is being siphoned out through my chest right now. and strange things have been happening as a result.
for instance, i have found myself feeling seriously distraught by the death of michael jackson. (yes, it's okay for you to laugh here. i am.) i can either attribute this to the fact that i was an avid thriller fan or because my hormones are having too much fun on the roller coaster to get off. i'm pretty sure it's the latter.
i've also turned into a closet drinker. of root beer, that is. i've been downing my secret stash of the brown stuff while hiding in the pantry to avoid eliciting pleas of "i want some too, mom!" sometimes they find me though. then the jig is up.
i'm still in the post-pregnancy twilight zone where days, hours, and minutes float around me in a cloudy haze. yet there are moments that seem to freeze in time. moments of being a new mother of 4 that i want to hang onto forever when
one is attached to me.
one is climbing all over me.
one is pulling on my hand telling me stories.
and one is snuggled next to me saying "i love you, mom."
life is beautiful.

He is so precious. I find myself in your situation all the time, and I didn’t just have a baby. I am in trouble.
I do that same thing with any soda I buy. I usually will snag one at the store when I am alone and chug it down as fast as I can on the way home, and then sneak it in the outside trash, so I don’t have to hear the “that is so unfair that you have a soda and didn’t get us any!! ” comments. most of the time I get caught. but sometimes I can get away with it.
Keep enjoying those wonderful mommy moments. Your kids are a precious gift from above.
love what andi said!!!!
cher…i LOVE YOU…every bit of MJ mourning, RB chuggin, kid lovin YOU!
xoxo
aww. your kid is sooo beautiful especially in your beautiful bedroom!
thanks for warning me about the closet drinking stuff. i think i’ll be the same way when i have children because i have a mad-crazy diet coke addiction!
yes, life is beautiful. I’m so glad you can see this through the haze (which still surrounds me…and my baby is nine months). So happy to talk to you last week. Always a thrill to get a little vitamin C in my diet. And, as far as Michael Jackson goes…we’ve been listening to the Jackson 5 all day today in his honor (But, I’m still laughing about it).
i’ve been starving for a post too! thank you for sharing. it’s been two years and i’m still in a haze (and still sneaking diet coke and chocolate) love you 🙂
Oh, he is just so precious! Seriously making me baby hungry over here! STOP IT! lol. Hugs! Hoping your post pregnancy funk will soon hit the road! Love you!
