i have followers. what does this mean? do you get updates of when i post? if so, i'm sorry. there should be a setting for updates only on good posts. if not, then what do you get? do tell. i'm dying to know.
it's a good thing i don't blog for a living. i am only occasionally clever and witty, it would be such a burden to have be such every day.
i just finished writing the roadshow for our ward. it's kind of funny. i say "kind of" because it will either be really funny (depending on the players) or fairly lame (depending on the players). i'm hoping for at least mildly entertaining. first read through is tonight--if people show up, that is.
hayden has been a cranky pants since he had a sleep over with cousins. i'm not blaming that. okay, i am, but i'm not blaming the cousins i'm just blaming the lack of sleep and the amount of time it takes him to recover from such events. this is, truthfully, why i hate taking him anywhere besides home to sleep. he's just a pain in my a #% for at least a week afterward. so if i ever turn you down for a sleep over occasion this is why. it's not because your children are a bad influence.
hayden's favorite phrase this week: " i don't have to." nice. real nice.
scouters is sick with a cold. this is crappy for everyone in the household because she can't breathe and probably aches all over which, consequently, means she wakes up about every two hours. this translates to no sleep for the parentals which in turn tranlates to grumpy mom and dad.
dear february,
i know you're the month of love but i do not love you. at all. you are grey and dull and i'm so over winter by the time you roll around. my kids need out. i need out. and thus, we need you OUT!!
dear march,
please, if you value a sane me, bring sun and at least 50 degree weather.
much obliged,
julia
this is the end of this rather pouty post. don't worry as soon as it's sunny again my mood will lift. cloudy days this time of year only dampen my demeanor.
xoxo,
j
ps: dearest melanie and mimi. i don't necessarily regret h. sleeping over. he had a fabulous time and has talked non stop about his cousins (so glad you have good kids for him to look up to, mel). i just regret that he has such a hard time dealing with sleep deprivation.

i should specify that my "followers" are three of my fabulous friends lest you think people outside my circle are reading my maternal drivel.
i still want to know what it means to follow a blog though.
I will take the blame for the lack of sleep but not the "i don't have to" he was not saying that as much as "i'm done" and "no thanks". although, i do want to pass the buck of blame to my brother and mom. i was at the store when he was having such a good time and his mimi and daddy decided to let him stay, i can't help that my kids are so cute he wanted to stay with them! xo mel
ps it was great to see you even if only for an evening.
fyi - i have identified myself as a "follower" on another couple of blogs and have never been updated in anyway, maybe it just means you are listed somewhere on said blog
Julia! I do get alerts on my "dashboard" that you have posted something new.
I just started the blogging, and I'm NO good at it, so you really should not follow me.
That post was a classic example of the conflict between the white and blue parts of your personality. Ha.
I am anti sleepover for the same reasons. It is nice to have your kid out of your hair for one evening, but when you end up with a devil child for the next 2 days, it makes the one evening not seem so great. I decline whenever possible, but sometimes it is unavoidable.
Good luck with the roadshow thing!
