So a couple of months ago I was around some really annoying people. Well, maybe it wasn't the people but the poor, little people produced by these people. I felt bad because I don't want to raise annoying children. I hate to even say that about anyone. It's just that when kids aren't disciplined, you can totally tell. But what about when you do discipline them, and they act like terrors anyway???? What then????? Ugh...I'll make more mistakes than anyone when it comes to that I'm sure. I know I will. But people, please kick me in the head if I don't discipline my children. It does, after all, mean that I love them. Anyway, I don't want the whole world to not want to be around us because our kids are so obnoxious. At least we'll love them, right??? How scary is parenting?!!!!!!!!!
!!!!!!!!
And how about I met a couple whose 10 or 11 year-old daughter had no clue what breastfeeding was. She saw a lady breastfeeding for the first time the other day, and she freaked out. Remind me to live in a way that my kids know that's normal.
And how about when people call you to see how you're doing, and for about 42 minutes they talk about themselves and their boringness...I mean their...something?
But how about husbands who listen to you when you're crying for no apparent reason? Thank you, hormones. Or when they listen to you cry over the ducks that are crossing the road that will probably get run over, but you can't stop and help them because you're already running late? Or husbands who are totally supportive of you even after you say mean things to them? Oh, and then they apologize when they don't even have to...
This stuff is for real yo.

Baby Blue
Lots been happening so I'll try to summarize...
Boy oh boy - it's a boy. Yep, we found out a couple of months ago. I'm not a proponent of a hundred purposeless sonograms, but we agreed to do 1 and happened to find out that we're having a son. How exciting is that?! When people ask, and I tell them, it seems they like to use this line right afterwards, "Oh, I bet your husband is so happy." Uh, he would be happy either way folks. We weren't biased, we didn't care. We were honestly those people who are just happy. I mean it IS in God's hands after all, right? I mean, we can't control it, so why try to choose either way? It's annoying when people constantly tell you, "I hope it's a _____." Hello, it's out of our hands. Anyway, "Baby Blue" is a hyper lil fellow right now. For several days I wondered if he even napped. It's amazing to think about how life begins, forms...what in the world is a baby thinking? What is Baby Blue doing when it feels like a wet dog is shaking the water off in there? Lovin' it!
Obviously Baby Blue has no official name yet.
On kind of a downer - one of my mom's younger sisters was diagnosed with lymphoma just 2 weeks ago. It was all very sudden. She had been feeling bad for a couple of weeks and had swollen gland. They thought it was her thyroid. She went in on a Friday for some additional blood work, they ended up admitting her to the hospital, and by the next morning they told her the mass growing around (kinda on the side and behind) her heart was a lymphoma. They did a procedure that morning and wanted to start chemo, but they waited until the following week for the first treatment. They've done 2 and will do the chemo every 3 weeks for a few months. Then radiation. Crazy. All crazy.
Lots of stuff happening. Lots of it. And lots of dumb drivers in Dallas.
