Tick, Tock...

Time has such a strange pattern of perceived movement. I just realized it's been a handful of days since I posted anything. Part of the reasoning is that I'm in the midst of that "weird" time that you TTCers are too aware of. The 2ww - if that just totally went over your head, don't worry about it. I'm just looking to speed time up right now in parts of my life and in the other parts of my life I wouldn't mind if it slowed down.

I've also been preparing for R's 3rd Birthday which is approaching like a locomotive. Um, yah, you would have to know that his birthday is a "train" birthday to find that remotely amusing. But yes, I would like to hold on to a bit more of his baby days. At three there's just zero pretending that he's still a baby. The only thing slightly anchoring anything of him to babyhood are his blankets that he sleeps with. K also still has her pup-pup though (most nights) but other than that, babyhood is gone for my kids. This in and of itself is bittersweet - I love watching them grow up and learn but they're days that I won't even get back. I was looking through old photo CD's from before R was even born and found video of K tickling her tummy during bath time. Too cute and yet something that I hadn't thought about in a long time.

I also get frustrated at the fact that the events that took place 7 months ago caused me to kind of pass though things without really noticing what was really going on. I don't know, I'm kind of getting off on a tangent which isn't all that surprising but yah, time does a funny thing to you so, right now, I'm just trying to deal with it until I get my footing and see where time will take me.

My other excuse for not writing is that we all have colds. We're thinking K brought it home from pre-school since she was the first to get it, then R, then Jim even got it and now I'm trying hard to fight it but I can tell I'm probably going to lose this battle. It's ok though, I'd rather have it now than in two weeks for R's birthday party. I hope you enjoy hearing about birthdays because that's the main thing consuming my time right now so you'll probably hear some more about it!

On that note, it's late and since I am fighting this cold I'm wiped out so it's time to hit the hay soon! Have a great weekend!
