Sometimes it's hard to write
This blog is meant to be a baby book, of sorts, although my babies don't seem so much like babies anymore. It's meant to be an easy way for me to capture little moments that I don't want to forget, and that I want Gus and Eli to later have record of. But, man... sometimes it's hard to write.
Sometimes I don't want to remember certain weeks of time, like, oh, two weeks ago when we were all sick and down for the count. I'm not even going to go into detail here because it makes me feel whiny even mentioning it this much. Within that week, where I would have hoped to have found resolve and some kind of strength to keep it together for the greater good, I was just acting like a baby. Let's not linger on this too much.
We have just returned from Iowa, where my Mom had her knee replaced. In under twenty-four hours, she was walking on it. Within 72 hours, she was walking down 20 stairs to avoid the tornado heading towards Omaha (oh, and did I mention she went back up after?). She is superwoman.
I must go to bed. Eli is asleep in his bed... a BED. Not a crib. This has been somewhat of a challenge, but not as bad as I had anticipated. He actually stays on and sleeps through the night (until tonight, because I must surely be putting some kind of karma out there that will wake him up).
