He's HERE!!!!!!!!!!!!

So, wireless still isn't working, but I will find a way to still post! Thanks to Yuko and Marc for letting me use their computer tonight! THE MOST exciting news happened this morning, Jan. 5th at 12:05. If you want to know...you have to read all the other stuff first!! The last couple days are a blur....my sister and kids got back from Scotland, sounds like they had a great time. All except her oldest, poor Daniel-he's like his dad in that he'd rather stay on the farm with the equipment and animals and not have to interact with people! His favorite part was the Scotish dancing, I said maybe he's going to be a dancer when he grows up! He wasn't ammused at that comment. Here's Katherine with her American Girl doll sleeping on the underground in London...



....yesterday poor Lilli had one of the "Best" meltdowns that I'd seen in a while...poor Kim! I'm thinking that she's ready to go back to work! One more month, than it's me and the 2 munchkins fighting for ourselves...ugh...getting Lilli off to school in the mornings...I'm cringing already! How do people do it with 6??? I've always wanted 6 kids...maybe I'll be re-thinking that! The next couple weeks are going to be a blur.....I hope they go by fast cause I can hardly wait 'till the 19th!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Today I spent all day looking for my sister-in-laws diaper bag...only to finally have to order it online, accidently placing (2) orders for it...guess I'll be returning it unless I have anyone out there in need of one???

So, I guess I'll get to that exciting news...why would my sister-in-law need a diaper bag you ask? Because at 12:05 COLIN DAVID ROTH entered the world. (still not sure if "Colin" is with one "L" or 2) Here he is with his proud daddy

So, was thinking about that quesiton, "What did we do before technology?" I'm thinking that life was less hetic. Less busy 'cause people couldn't get ahold of you to "quickly" stop by...or "Please pick me up this or that..." Less busy. Less Hetic. Hum, how I would love that right about now! Though...if you know me at all, I have to be busy 24-7, otherwise I go stir-crazy....for instance...the family that I'm babysitting for right now, they don't have cable...since the kids are both in bed, a normal person would lounge on the couch with a book...nope, can't do that. I'll do what I did last time and sit down with the dog-Ned, teaching him how to recognize an Ace in a deck of cards...it actually was pretty amazing how he caught on. Either that or it was a fluke!

Peace out.

Technology....smology......

What ever did we do without Tech? I didn't write last night because my wireless on my laptop seems to have gone caput. What was life like without internet? Hum...that's gonna be a thought to ponder today cause as of right now, I have a little girl tugging on my legs to play Zoboomafoo on the computer. Will write more tonight. Have a fantab day!

All in a days work.....

Not to brag, but I at the moment, as of 9:45pm, I am pretty proud of myself! I know you people with multiple kids have probably already mastered this, especially Michelle who 5 outta 7 days a week usually puts the kids down herself, but still........Kim and Jared went on a date tonight, their first since Bella came into the world, leaving me in charge of the little munchkins. As Kim's walking out the door, I'm explaing to Lilli (4) that after mommy leaves, we are going to eat dinner, watch a little show, take a bath, read books and be in bed with lights out by 8:30-her and her sister. Kim does a little chuckle, it doesn't hurt to dream, right? I have to say.....we did it. Lilli was a great helper, helping me wash Isabella's hair, not throwing a fit when I said that her favorite moment of the day-bath time-was up. She just got out, dried off and got her nightgown on. Then proceeded to grab a couple books and crawl in my lap for me to read while I feed Isabella a bottle with the other hand. When we were done, she wanted to read some more, so I told her she could read until I was finished with her sister, then it was lights out-no fights. So she grabs a couple books, climbs into bed, I finish with Isabella, put her in bed, lights out-close the door, and kiss Princess Lilli goodnight, tell her a quick made up story about a prince, close the door and look at the clock. It's 8:13. REALLY??? Whoa! As I write, Isabella is still asleep, more than likely will want to get up soon to eat again, and Lilli is fast asleep, by 8:45 to be exact! Yup, as predicted-There is sweet Isabella's eyes on the video monitor...well...at least I got an hour and a half! Better get her before she wakes Lilli...guess that's what I'd get for bragging....Night! Oh, got some GREAT shots of Bella sleeping today, will get those up later! Peace.

Can I do it?

Well, here goes nothing! It's a New Year, so why not try something new? I'm already addicted to MySpace, Facebook, Hotmail, Google, Switchboard, Flickr and now a blog. Yes, a blog. Hum...how many will actually read it on a consistent basis? Oh well, at least it can be a place, if nothing else, to put all the stuff that fills my head. Joys, worries, sadness, happiness...just life in general. Happy readings and Cheers to a New Year!!!
