So, So Berry Sorry ...

I have been a bad Mama and have put off posting Abe's letter for last month. The truth is that I had a hard time making time to use my brain. I mean, it is easy to go on the computer and check Facebook and Perez Hilton, but to actually write in complete sentences about things that have happened in the past, well, that was just too hard for me.

Plus, I really wanted to do a good job. Abe has been talking so much lately and he makes me laugh all the time. I wanted to make sure I could do his month some justice.

Anyways, I am back to work now. It sort of just sneaked up on me and then BAM, I am driving down 465 all showered and dressed before 8 a.m. Being home together (me, Jake, Abe, Sam, and Ozzie) has brought a sort of chaos to our life that at times is very fun, and at others really stresses me out. I am the type of person that needs a structure or routine to be at peace. And, to be quite honest, I think Jake and Abe are the same way. Not to mention Ozzie who has demonstrated his stress by puking everywhere too many times than I would ever like to see in my lifetime.

The last few weekends we had been travelling,and now I am feeling the effects. Abe and Sam are great little travellers, but Sam is now waking up every 3 hours at night again. NO FUN. But, I wouldn't trade the trips for the world. We got to spend time with our families. Abe had a blast every trip we made. First, with Baba and Rob in Jasper. Then, with Grandma, Grandpa and his cousins in the Region. And, finally, with all of this relatives in Youngstown. I was overwhelmed with how generous and welcoming my family in Youngstown was to us. Abe was spoiled rotten by all of the attention and gifts, and to be honest, so was I. I mean, hosting a family with two kids under three is no easy task. And, now Abe wants to go back to Gaga's house, which I totally understand because I always felt the same way every time I would leave Gaga's house.

So, hopefully now that I am back at work and my life is starting to resemble one with an inkling of structure, I will be posting more. It seems surreal to me that the last time I was at work I had a giant belly and waddled around. Time certainly does fly.

i totally know what you mean - even though im getting my ass kicked, i like having structure too. my 8 thousand days off in a row was eroding my sense of purpose.
