It's been a while...

For starters I am terrible about social media of any type. That includes Facebook as well as blogging. I may check them everyday, but most days I can not seem to summon the energy to just say something. My kids certainly aid in keeping me busy and on my toes. I really have a hard time finding a spare minute. Since having children there really is no extra time sometimes. I don't mind anymore. I think occasionally I have those freak out moments where I just want to be me for a little while. I don't want to have to think about and worry about the words that come out of my mouth or the things that I do. I want to be lazy! My daughter has gotten to the age where she is picking up things left and right. You have to be absolutely careful what you say and do around her. If you do not want it coming out of her mouth, then you should not have it come out of yours. Tonight as a matter of fact she had a whole long speech about turds. Yep, turds. I think through a mixture of embarrassment and exhaustion all I could manage to do was laugh. My son on the other hand does not seem to be as advanced at his age as I think he should be. I know that children learn things at a different time. I really think that I am basing what he should be doing off of what Abi did. Abi was on the go very early, and Ian has always seemed lazy. From the get go Abi was impatient. I went into labor with her the first time when I was only 7 months pregnant. Through this great medical technology (and a shot in my rear) labor was stopped and she carefully waited the last few weeks. I do not believe at all that she was happy about this considering she had not fully made her way in the world before she was screaming. The Doc almost dropped her because she meant she was angry! Ian on the other hand at 40 weeks was still sitting pretty. He had no reason to come out. I had to be induced and even then it took 16 hours of very painful labor before he gave up the fight. Ever since then he has just taken his time. On the one hand I am so thankful that I get this chance to baby him for so long. When my babies are not babies anymore I know I will be terribly upset. For now I just enjoy everyday the best I can. The big man is awake again so it is time to go. Hopefully this will be an easy fix, and if it is not oh well.
