Ok, so in an attempt to shake off the late winter blues that so obviously had me in their clutches when I posted last, I am posting something of a game. And it needs audience participation, which could really backfire since my "readership" has dwindled due to my unreliable posting habits. So this post may remain until I've had my fill of fun.
My Darling Lise sent me the link attached to the title of this post about a book written by and about lots of average joes like you and me.
Basically, it's like this. Someone asked Hemingway to write a story in six words. He wrote: For Sale: Baby shoes; never worn. This book contains autobiographies in six words--no more, no less.
This is your challenge! Spread the word! I'm excited to read the results.
Here are a few I came up with.
Gonna have it all, in time.
Big dreams. Had kids. Altered dreams.
I never wanted two in diapers.
Happily ever after, but still plotting.
After coming up with these, I've realized this exercize is very revealing. And not necessarily in a flattering way. Nevertheless, they are what I came up with right now. Perhaps I'll write more as this post moulders.

Really Really Super Duper Post
OK, so it's really time for a really truly super duper awesome post. (That's the way Moira talks. Yes, she's two going on 13.) Why? Because I'm feeling sorry for myself. It's 12:30am and I'm not asleep. I just finished watching a movie while folding laundry and Anthony is not home yet. This all plays into the feeling sorry for myself bit, if you'll bear with.
1. I should be sleeping because Marek will wake me up in approximately 3 1/2 hours to eat, even though he is nearly 9 months old and really doesn't need to eat. He's just gotten into the habit since he was sick with puke and diarrhea all last week. I also hafta get up at 7am with Mason to make sure he eats his vitamin, writes a sentence of alliteration, and wears shoes when he goes out the door.
2. I can only watch a movie if I am also folding laundry, ironing, crocheting or knitting, or because it is designated family movie night (Fridays). Self imposed restriction.
3. I was going to check my email really quick before going to bed and then I started reading...oh, hang on, Marek is crying...Ok, I'm back. I would have killed myself long ago if not for binkies, bless them. So, I started reading some blogs and I thought, "I really need to go to bed." (See #1)
4. Anthony has had really steady work lately. It's great! It's just reduced our relationship to a couple of texts a day.
So I'm doing something that I want to do but always run out of time for so I never do.
What is it I wanted to say?....
