Happy 1 1/2 to Kensley!

Today my baby girl is 18 months old... she's growing up so fast. She is such a joy & delight in our lives. We all love her so much and she really is a good baby... well, toddler. She talks ALL of the time and she is so smart. She listens really well and has a great personality. This is just a quick post to brag on her a little. Happy 1 and 1/2 baby girl... we love you!

Sleeping results

I was in the middle of this last night, when I was interrupted just after midnight with a sick 5 year old and cleaning him & his bed up from throw up. Ewwww... I HATE that smell. Anyhoo....back to the poll results. I got more comments that I ever have before...yippie! The consensus is that women are neat sleepers and men are messy. Only one of the comments referred to the woman being messy too. I guess it's just the nature of a woman to be organized in every way. It balances the men. I know some are opposite (the man is neat & woman is messy) but overall we all need that or we would drive ourselves crazy if we were both the same. I was really surprised that most of the women could pull the covers up virtually no mess the next morning. I thought I was weird for doing that. Obviously I'm not the sole "neat sleeper" of this world. It's good to know my girls have my back... hee, hee!

Keeping my head above water

I'm floating... using a life preserver... but I'm staying above water. My house is a wreck, my laundry keeps piling up, my dishes are multiplying overnight and every room looks like a tornado hit it. However, I don't really care. I've been busy doing other things... like 400 wedding invitations... to really have time to care. It drives me crazy to have my house a wreck, but I'm biting my lip and saying, it doesn't matter and it will get better. This too shall pass...

Kensley has hit the destructive phase and that's partly why my house is upside down. She pulls everything out... everything. I've stepped on too many hot wheels cars to count, tripped over my mini vacuum at least 50 times this week, I search for my hairbrush daily and put books back on the shelves 2 or 3 times a day, just to name a few. I forget how tiresome a toddler is. When we go outside it wears me out ( I guess that shows how out of shape I am). She flip-flops from the swing, to the slide, to a different slide, back to the swing, to the sand box, to the trampoline, etc. She's really a good baby, she's just a busy body. She will entertain herself for quite a while when I need to get something done, I just have a big mess to pick up afterwards.

I probably won't post much this week or next because I've got lots going on, but I'll stop in for a quick note a few times.
