A New Day

It's certainly nice to have something to focus on other than the things that I don't have in my life. While I won't lose the urge to have a child of my own anytime soon, having little Willie around has certainly been nice. He's so fun, and energetic, and I think I've lost weight since he arrived.

Last night we all had a really good night. Tuesday night stunk in our household, Willie did not want to sleep at all. Well, catnaps and then he was back to biting toes, noses and pulling the blankets off. So, last night when Willie passed out hiding under the bed, we took advantage and piled into bed at 8 p.m. We all slept soundly until Wee Willie's bladder beckoned relief at 12:30 and then back to bed until 4:30 a.m. It was glorious, heavenly, fantastic.

I am refreshed, renewed and ready to tackle anything. Well, almost anything. That store with the big Bull's Eye that doesn't have stores in Alaska is getting on my nerves. They sent out their baby sale flyer. I can save over $30 with coupons, on baby stuff, thanks. But really it's fun to look at those chubby cheeks, and all the money I could be saving. Lol.

Have a happy day!

Baby Willie

I would imagine that having a puppy in the house is much like having an infant. No, I don't have to feed him at midnight, but with a teeny, tiny bladder we went out many times during the night. Also, he was all kinds of wound up and didn't want to sleep. Every time I'd drift off he'd pop up and lick/bite me in the nose. But he's super cute.

In many ways I think a human infant might be easier. Diapers. No going outside into the vast wilderness to potty the little devil. Oh, and have I mentioned his penchant for ducking under the porch and playing hide-and-seek at 3 a.m.? Not. So. Amusing. But he's really cute.

Honestly though, I am hopeful and surprised at the amount of patience that I've had with Willie and Ches, and well, I might actually be good at this parenthood thing. I have, however, made a command decision. No puppies. Not until the kids are old enough to help care for them. I cannot even imagine if I had to deal with babies and puppies. YIKES!!!

Have a happy day!
