Juggling.

The CEO is in the shower and I've got the little guy in my arms, he doesn't like to sleep alone so putting him down is not easy. The Z is still up, it's 10:15pm and she's hungry. I'm trying to negotiate with her quietly so as not to wake the guy in my arms or the one sleeping in the room across the hall from her. We finally agree that she can have some cheese. I manage to open the fridge, the drawer containing the cheese, the zip lock bag with the block o' cheese and cut three wedges of cheese for her, all with a baby dangling happily from my other arm. I get her the cheese and she's happy. Now the big guy is starting to stir, at this point I have to alert the CEO who has just come out of the shower. I manage to put the little guy down (big victory) and I go in and comfort his brother. The CEO arrives with the precious milk and all is well. Now I just have to fold my laundry, take the dog out and get ready for bed. It's shaping up to be a typical night and looking like another 11:30+ bedtime.

When one of us gets sick we all suffer.

The CEO is deathly ill with strep throat (OUCH!) and I'm taking time off from work to manage the gang. This is hard work. I knew it was hard being home with the kids but this was a good reminder. It is no wonder that by the time the late after noon rolls around she has no interest in making dinner. The only thing I felt like doing by then is either sleeping or shooting myself in the head.

Broken record.

I feel that I have to write about the lack of sleep we are getting in this house. However, it seems that is what I write about most and I may be starting to sound like a broken record. The problem is when you're not getting enough sleep that is all you can think about.

My time

It used to be that when I got up early and the house was still, I'd post a blog then read some news and have a cuppa joe. I've given up on a lot of that. Now I just read the news. Without even knowing it I've modified my routine so as to accomplish what is of the most importance first.

Today I have The Big Guy sitting with me while I blog. I've already read a little new in peace.

Does anyone still check out my blog? Have my posts become too few and far between? I wonder if the first person to discover cheese found it in the folds of an infants neck?

Time?

You would think with the CEO and crew out of town I'd have plenty of time to blog and do all my house projects. Aucontrair my friends. I was foolish enough to think I could fit 6 year of back logged projects into two weeks. Well, I can't. Another reason why a lot of things don't get done around here is because it takes a lot of time and projects are often disruptive to the living arrangements. The countdown is on, I now have less than one week to start and finish many things. I must re-prioritize!

Twitter

OK so maybe this twitter thing is kind of cool but only because I can post to Twitter using Jott. It's a must. All you do is setup your free Jott account and activate the Twitter tool. Then you call the toll free number from your cell phone and leave a voice mail which is then converted to text and posted to your Twitter account within 5min. Now that's kind of cool. I've gotta agree w/SL Facebook is over you gotta Twitter. Man do I sound like a nerd.

My web spots....

We were at a friends house on Sunday, the CEO and I basically slept with our eyes open the whole time. The company was great and I do apologize but we were just both so tired, I can't wait 'till these little ones sleep 6 hours or more per night consistently. Anyhow our friend said we need to be on Twitter and that Facebook is over and this got me thinking of where my web hot spots are (minus the obvios ones). Before I list them I have to say that I agree that Facebook is over I was done with it pretty quick, I just don't get it. Also check over on the right side of my blog for my Twitter posts and link, I don't think I get Twitter either. Here's my list:

My old favorite

The Boston Celtics were my team growing up. I had an affinity for all of the local teams but none as much as the Boston Celtics. I was sure that someday I'd grow up to play for the Celtics and as my mother recently reminded me my father told me I could play for them. I don't remember the day I finally realized that I wasn't that good of a ball player but apparently I was slightly disappointed in my Dad's support. Anyhow, the real point is that the Celtics are on the verge of winning an NBA title and I'm just as excited as if I was 12. This morning I found myself reading the Boston Globe sports page with a huge smile on my face. Go C's!

Life....................

For some unknown reason it seems that we are expert at keeping sea monkeys alive. Our sea monkey community is rapidly approaching the year and a half mark with no signs of slowing down. It is virtually a self contained ecosystem, I couldn't tell you the last time I fed them maybe 2 months ago. We will often get down to one lone sea monkey and he/she will live for a week or two alone the last surviving member of the clan and then like magic one morning there will be babies swarming all of the water and the community will begin to grow again.
