I'm Home

| | Comments (10)

I'm kinda bummed because I had such a nice time. Peony is even more lovely in person on the inside and out than she is on the Internet-although it is hard to tell what she looks like on the outside on the Internet because she types and you never get to see her. But she is quite pretty.

Lunch on Monday was so much fun. I get so lonely in real life, so it has been a long time since I did the normal Mommy get together. It was also nice to meet Davey's parents (and Davey) and KTC. It was neat to take all these great people out of the pseudo-fanatsy world of the Internet and know normal people do exist in real life. Also, Peony fed us quite well, and I had to use restraint to stop stuffing my face.

I cannot add too much to Peony's description. Gorbulas was quite out of sorts. I had hoped to be able to show off my adorable youngest, but he was mostly a disagreeable two-year old. I do not blame him. While adults like vacations, time-off, chsnges of scenary, toddlers thrive on routine and consistency. I do not think he understood in the least that staying at my father's apartment was a vacation and not a permanent life change. While I was bummed to come home yesterday, he just blossomed and was happy as a clam.

Will Be Gone For a Bit!

I am packing and heading out. My dh is on vaction this week and I am going to Virginia to visit my father. I do not remember if I had mentioned, he started a new job in DC in December, and commutes home to Albany on the weekends. He will be in Albany as usual this weekend, but as he is coming up we are heading to visit my mother-in-law first. She lives in a Philly/Trenton suburb in PA. Then Gorbulas and I will head down to Virginia for a few days and see him on Monday.

The highlight of my trip is I will get to meet Peony and Hambet, Davey, his Mommy and Daddy and Kathy the Carmelite this week. Not only that, but will get to call them by their real names.

In other news, yesterday I had my first ultrasound. I was having some sharp pains on my side, so the midwife was concerned I had a tubal. Deo Gratias, the little bugger is where he (or maybe a she, but he kept moving around and made it hard to get a heart rate, so it's probably a he) is supposed to be. These events bring out the worst of my Italian neurotic genes. I feel so out of control when it comes to my little unborn babies I guess because I cannot see that they are A-OK when things seem off. If it were just me, I could care less, and with my kids that are out already, I can see and communicate with them.

Yesteday was Fastolph's 5th Birthday (Thank You Peony). I tell ya, that little guy has come a long way. Although he is the one who has broken windows, has been saved just in the nick of time while trying to jump over the side of balconies, tries to pick up teenage girls, used to escape the house and run in the middle of the street, calls "da poh-weece" on his brother, pulls worms out and names them, he is just a cutey pie when he wants to be. My mother made him a special birthday dinner of hot dogs, french fries, salad, corn on the cob and cupcakes. He was quite thrilled, even though when she asked him what he would like for dinner he replied "egg, strawberries and cream".

Well, that's all for now. See ya when I come back.

Happy Birthday to Fastolph!

Today (and the weekend) has been beautiful! Today went up to 80, but was very, very windy. Still I pulled out the grill and made sausage and peppers for dinner. The kids spent all day outside. It is nice to finally be warm.

Tomorrow is Good Friday

I have been getting into the habit of going to my mother's once a week because she spoils me and helps with the children. I must really look as bad as I feel because she seems to take pity on me.

Anyway, tomorrow we are going over because the family is making the traditional Good Friday Grass Pies. I am hoping I feel up to not only attending Stations of the Cross, but attending and having the energy to deal with the kids at Church.

I hope all my pals at St. Blog's have a Holy Triduum and a Happy Easter.

As Usual

I can use some prayers. The past few months my life has been one thing after another, and I suppose from the outside it could be deduced I am a chaos addict or something, but I swear the calmer I try to keep things, the more they explode. I do not know what I am doing wrong anymore. Well, I to take a stab at it, I have been mediocre in my attempts at a great many responsibilities. But I feel like I am being pulled thin is so many directions and just squeaking by in all my responsibilities, but not getting one done really, really well. I wish I could take a break from life for a bit.
