4 years ago...

4 years ago.....my youngest son was born. he was half purple and sputtering and freaking the doctor out enough to make him ask if he was okay, while i was strapped to a table trying not ti watch the monitors.

today he is a rambuncious (sp?) little boy with enough opinions for an adult, he's got a smart mouth, a fighting spirit. he'll still kiss me every day, and he looks so much like his dad that sometimes its breathtaking. he loves cars, being in charge, and getting his way, but thats just the age. right now it is all about this battle for control, to see how far he can push me, and that too, is just the age. 4 is way worse than 3. its hard for me to imagine him the age of his older brothers, almost 9 and just as opinionated, but time seems to get away so fast that before I know it, he'll be old enough to ride his bike to school and have sleepovers. its hard not to want him to be little again, tiny and wrinkled, but at the same time, its refreshing to know that he's the last, that i never have to deal with 3am feedings or potty training or baby proofing again. anyway, thats my little rant for the day. i feel better already.

on another front, i have done nothing with the writing, though i dug out the binders and plan on reading...to get my mind back into the story.

listening to: band of horses, No ones gonna love you.

wow.

it feels like a year. really.

the writing was going strong until early June. then the kids were done with school, and the summer made it impossible to focus on anything except escaping the heat and muting bickering children from my brain.

BUT! school is back in session, and so i am gearing up to start back at it.

so bands i focused on this summer....rage against the machine's selftitled, hadnt heard that since highschool. which makes me feel old. also smashing pumpkins' siamese dream...BT's latest, and Deadmau5.

i also learned how to quilt like a big dork. im on my third one, and have one more to go before i can make one for myself, which was the original intention. anyways. i also started watching Supernatural simply b/c there was nothing on tv. not that i watch alot of TV anyway, but when i did, i was catching up on seasons 1-5.

ttyl.
