How I stop the insanity, or at least keep it at bay.

So now that I've bid you all a temporary adieu...I'm baaaack. So, I guess maybe I'll do like one post a month or something. Whatever. So if you're a follower do you get an email saying that there's a new post? Anyways, I just wanted to say THANK GOD for my Kindle! It's one of the best purchases I've made (well, in a long time). Since I'm nursing and forced to sit with my boob(s) hangin' out all the time it has been a sanity saver. I can't watch TV because my other kids will watch whatever is on - even inappropriate things like "Bring It On." So, unless I want to constantly watch Wow Wow Wubbzy then the only thing I have left to do is read. I think I have read 7 books since I had BG3 (baby girl 3). And since I live in a small town in the middle of nowhere this would not be possible without my Kindle. The only bookstore we have is the endcap in Hy-Vee and half an aisle in KMart. So Amazon.com, there's my plug.

ps. if you don't know what a Kindle is it's an electronic hand-held reader. Get with the times!

It's not goodbye...not really

Okay, here's the deal. I just had a baby...like a week ago. So, I'm letting my 2 readers know that I will most likely be taking a hiatus from my blog. You might have already noticed the postings have slowed to a mere trickle these past couple of months. I apologize for that but I was so tired and all I could focus on was getting ready for baby - nothing that any of you would have found interesting I am sure. My husband hasn't done too much recently to piss me off so no blog material there either. And as you know I prefer to not blog about kid-related issues. However I might have to break that rule since my brain will only allow me to think about baby baby baby (damn hormones). Fear not, after a few months I'm sure I'll start noticing more tedious things that I feel the need to blog about - like this one person whom I have tried to always be friendly towards and she just doesn't seem to feel the need to reciprocate. It's very awkward - I am constantly wondering "Do I still need to wave? Do a head nod of acknowledgement? Or is it just more comfortable for her if I pretend not to see her?" I really just want to say "Listen, I get that you don't really like me and I'm fine with that. I'm not out to win any popular votes and I don't feel the need to be friends with everyone. However, I do think it's common courtesy to acknowledge people that you know in some small way. So from now on let's make eye contact, say "hey" and get on with it." I mean most of the time I do that with strangers (it is Iowa, land of friendly people) so I'm thinking that's the least I can do for someone I actually know. But I digress...

If you don't hear from me for a while you'll understand. And if you don't then you've obviously never had a child or you are a man.
