New template

I have to say, I don't LOVE this template. But, I'll tell ya what I do love. The 6 birds. Yeah, count 'em. Just seemed to fit. We are going from 4 Lewises to 6. That's why we need 6 birds. IN PAIRS. Precious. Just sayin.

Meanderings...if that's really a word

So, I'm having a lot of broken, funny thoughts. I immediately figured I'd better blog them. So you can laugh and I can laugh too. One day. One day I'll laugh about my broken thoughts. First of all, I think I will be changing the name of this blog to livingoncoffeeandlove.blogspot.com because well, after the twins get here that's just gonna be how it is. I try to picture what it will be like. What I will be like. One word comes to mind. Frantic. Okay, two words. Sleepy. I just cannot, CANNOT imagine what's coming. Oh sure, I think I can imagine the love. I know the love I'll have for those two schnuckums. But, the insanity to follow. Whew-wee. God bless. We will be accepting help from anyone and everyone. :) Second of all..is that second of all or third of all? Blah. The blog title now is The Life and Times of 4 Lewises. That's pretty interesting because it was Me, Jay, Parker, and Seth = 4. Now, the 4 Lewises are Parker, Seth, Baby A, Baby B. I find that so very interesting. Possibly because it's 1:03am. But, nevertheless, interesting.
On the job front, I did happen to get the job at the Long Term Care Facility, aka the Old Folks' Home. I'm pumped. Oh man I'm hoping that it's easier. And, I hope that the patients are sweet and love me. I will bake cookies and all kinds of fun things. Well, you know in my SPARE time caring for 4 kids and my loving hubs.
Lastly, I just wanted you to know that the entire "go to bed by 10pm" thing...well, I failed miserably at it. It's like after the kids go to bed, I feel like I can actually do things uninterrupted. I guess I just have to decide if it's sleep I want or TV/time to do what I want. Right now, I'm saying SLEEP SLEEP!!
We'll see.
Thanks for tuning in. Until next time...take it easy!

Love and twin hugs,
Kim

my body and other ramblings

Well, my body has already started all these wonderful (insert sarcasm here) changes. I'm embracing them as best as I ever do I guess. It's such a challenge being short. There's no where for the fat to go, you know? Well, I'm hoping it's going to my 2 little sweet peas inside. It's only been the last few days that I've started thinking about the reality of it all. You know. The come home from the hospital, get no sleep, reality of it all. I must say, I'm pretty scared. I mean, I KNOW that if I can just survive a few months until the buggers sleep through the night I'll be GOLDEN. But, let's be serious here. I'm getting old. Yeah, that means I'm going to be going to sleep at like 9:30 at night. That sounds luxurious to me now. Maybe I should try to start that this week. It's so hard to do that because well...we like to stay up at night when the kids are in bed, sleeping. That's really the only husband/wife time that we have. But, I'm probably going to be a much more pleasant and patient person with the extra "normal" sleep. I'll let you know how it goes this week :)
Love,
Kim

About Me

My photo
Welcome to my blog. It's a dedicated place for my book reviews, criticism, and love of all things bookish. I am a mom of 4 busy kids that uses reading as my, "thing." I find that reading books turns off all (okay, mostly all?) of the noise of my world and lets me get away for a bit. Reading helps me escape the reality of the piles of laundry that will never be done, the dust bunnies that I swear will one day grow legs, and the emails and outlook calendar that occupy my life Monday- Friday during working hours. Reading is therapy for me and always has been. I've always been a big dork, introverted, creative, and reflective. If I won the lottery tomorrow, I'd probably open up a used bookstore with my standard poodle somewhere on the side of the mountain and surround myself by others who enjoy passing their time reading. Until then, I'll keep on keeping on. And, I'll settle for reading when I can. Which, I try to fit in as much as possible. Cheers to your busy life and mine, doing the best we can, as often as we can.
