I was looking through my archives to find an old post when I discovered that today is my 1 year blogiversary! It totally doesn't feel like it's been a year.
So in honor of me sticking with this for an entire year, I am going to post my favorite blog post from each month. Enjoy!
March - I Love My Hubby I started out with a bang by posting once in February and once in March. Thank goodness I got better at this!
April - Pink I should post this every month, just to remind you (as if you could ever forget!).
May - The Poopie List I laugh and laugh and laugh every time I read this. I guess that is why I was blessed with 3 boys!
June - Natural Birth I still am grateful I did it my way. I loved giving birth.
July - Naps Still one of my favorite things to do!
August - Lice It felt so good to get this out in the open and say, "Yes, just because my child got lice doesn't mean we have a filthy home! Good people get it too!"
September - Awesome sisters I love my family. We are there for each other and still laugh at each other too. It's great!
October - My Schedule I thought typing it up would be easy. I had no idea how busy I was. And how much busier I would get!
November - Snow It's days like this that get me through the rest of them!
December - Nutcracker Who knew my brother and his wife were so talented? I love watching this.
January 2009 - Things That Make Me Laugh Who knew I would own not one, but two blogs!
February - Self Esteem I was feeling so down and so many people commented and really helped lift my spirits. I am so grateful to all of them!
So here's to another year of random babbling!
I have to say that I am enjoying the stage of life we are in right now. I have been through the baby stage and as much as I loved my babies (and would love to hold and snuggle one right now), I am really loving having my children be older. If The Doctor and I want to go out on a date, we tell The Teenager to make supper and The Chocoholic to watch The Princess and we leave. They know the rules, bedtimes and such, and we just leave. They are also instructed NOT to call us unless someone is bleeding. And they don't! It's wonderful.
Tuesday morning I took the Princess to preschool and came home to get in the shower. As I was getting ready to get in, I stopped and took notice of a funny noise in the house. I listened carefully and guess what it was?
It was silence.
Quiet.
Peace.
Heaven.
No one bugging me, no one asking me to put on a Polly Pocket dress, no Wii or computer games filling the house with pointless music.
I took my shower and when I got out, I walked around the house in my towel, marveling at the fact that after 10 years, I could do that again. Once my oldest got about 5, I quit going around in a towel. Heck, I even have to wear a bra to go out of my bedroom! LOL
As I was doing my hair and makeup, I listened to the quiet and enjoyed being alone. And I marveled at the fact that these days will become more and more frequent. And I will be alone more and more.
And more.
Suddenly, I was sad. So I went and picked up The Princess from preschool and hugged her a little longer before I let her go.

So my husband turns 40 in April.
He hates parties, he hates surprises, and he hates celebrating his birthday.
So I thought I would have a big surprise party for him! LOL
Put April 11th, a Saturday night...which is his actual birthday, on your calendars. And keep it a secret.
Now I just have to figure out how to get him out of the house. Any ideas?

Thanks for being such a great example to my sons. And daughter. And my husband. And me.
We love you.
We love you.
I have not sat down with The Princess and taught her about guilt. I have not taught her how to say things that will stick a knife in my heart and twist until I bawl. And yet...she has mastered it. Whether intentional or not, she is a pro.
On Mondays, I work in the office, so she gets to go to her cousin's house to play. This morning she was coughing a little tiny bit.
She said to me, "Mommy, I am sick. I can't go."
I said, "The Princess, you are just fine. You are going."
She said, "Okay. Maybe they will take care of me."
Ouch.
