Whoa, Baby!

i'm finally getting around to blogging!! Yes!
Is there anyone else out there still trying to "get off to a good New Year", even though its MARCH!?!?!

I have still managed to get online to check my friends' blogs regularly (..and boy, am i disappointed when they don't write!) Daily, I think I've thought of something to write about...then, before i know it, the day is gone and i am spent. Today...i actually don't' even have anything interesting to write about, rather than an update on what i've been doing, but i realized i actually have some time--SOME TIME!!! So, I've logged on.

What's up?
Well, rather than my usual time burdens that i can't seem to manage (impending perpetual laundry, grocery shopping, exercise, etc....) I am still successful at making time to make art, which used to be my main 'challenge'. I have plans to write about that....eventually. hopefully.

I'm also *trying* to be better about planning meals to eat healthier and at home with the family...but i'm struggling with planning ahead for this. Which means we are still ordering pizza once a week and eating out (crap*) more than i'd like/ more than we can afford.
* Healthy Eating Out in our town is really limited.

SO..the biggest change in our life this year, my main diversion and reason for not checking in with you dear readers, is currently trying to chew on my toe. (Poor thing...if he had any idea how long i've been wearing these socks, he'd find something else to chew on. HEY! its been really cold lately....)

ok...now he's gotten into something that i need to go intervene....i'll be right back.....

.......and so it goes.

I am now a Semi-Supernanny, with a Part-Time Baby from 8-3, Monday thru Friday. He is a darling, little blue-eyed 8 month old ball of energy. He hardly ever cries, is very good natured and has ninja-like balance, so he barely ever falls down. He is a good age to be able to actually put down and watch for a few minutes while you finally get to go to the bathroom...(or blog)....but i'm still getting used to to it.

In fact....its naptime, so i've gotta go. As i settle into our "routine" a little more, i promise to return. I also promise not to lapse into the Baby Talk, as i've already found myself doing on occasion.

Unless you want to hear about how cute it is when he blows huge snot bubbles from his nostrils. It really is funny.....especially when you havent had adult interaction for hours....its hilarious.
