SIKE!

Okay, okay...so I haven't COMPLETELY broken off my commitment with facebook. I mean, I have people to keep in touch with here. And, when I commit, I COMMIT. So, I have tweeked some privacy settings and am hoping that will give some peace of mind. But, let's face it, I will be posting pictures here and THIS isn't private. Ah well, you win some and you lose some, right? I guess we could all go nuts if we sat thinking about all the weirdos in the world. Speaking of weirdos..
      Our old neighbors with the crazy annoying and peeping tom kid finally moved out. Now we have some folks living next door that are about our parent's age. They are a little odd too but at least they aren't peeping in the windows. Well, that we KNOW about! It's unfortunate that we have a shared driveway. I mean, it kindof FORCES you to interact you know? But, it's all good. They seem really really nice and aren't slobs when it comes to their yard. It's nice not to have to look at this HUGE trampoline outside the kitchen window anymore.
      We just got back from the Art Museum. We put the babies in the stroller and cruised around. The babies do FANTASTIC outside when they are moving. Seth needed to burn off some crazy toddler energy and the weather was PERFECT. They have this really neat amphitheater outside with a huge stage. Sethie of course had to go see what this stage thing was all about. Who knows, maybe he'll like the stage and decide he wants to always be in the spotlight. He sure likes the spotlight now, that's for sure! It's always nice to get out and get some fresh air and the art museum is free so that's a bonus. Sometimes we take sandwiches, chips, and juiceboxes or we pick up some Chic-fil-A. But, today we went without lunch and had just as much fun. Sethie was picking up the white flowers that grow in clover patches for me. How sweet is THAT? Precious, I know. I mean I'm a little partial to him but still.
     I am now working back at the hospital again. I am back in the Birthing Center. I worked there about 5 years ago and left because I wanted a little more excitement among other things. What I found is that the grass is always greener on the other side. But, if you take the time to water your own grass, it will be just as green. I feel like I like taking care of the moms and babies. I'm practically a professional :) And, no one is trying to die on me. I'm not constantly dealing with all of those ethical,moral, and social issues like I was in the ED or the ICU and quite frankly, I think I would lose my mind if I had to continue to do that! I find that the patients and their families are MOST of the time pretty appreciative and receptive to all the newborn/parent teaching. It's my favorite part of my job. That, and swaddling the little beebees up super snuggly. The twins are too wiggly now for swaddling. It's sad when a baby reaches that point of maturity where they just wiggle and wiggle and fight and push and poot until they work their way out of a swaddled blanket, right?!
     I hope that you can see with these 2 posts (IN ONE DAY) that I am going to try to make a valiant effort to continue to post and vent, divulge and veer off topic into randomness more frequently than I had been. I think I realized that when your status updates start getting really long, it's time to BLOG. So, welcome! I hope that you continue to check back, leave me a comment or two, and tell me how I can follow your blog too. I'm a big blog reader. Let me tell you, having 4 kids under 5 years old has a way of keeping you on the couch at night when they finally close their eyes. I'd love to read what is going on in your life and discover new ways to stay sane, be more efficient, more organized (with less work) and to take it one day at a time. Any wisdom you may have or comiserating you may do will be much appreciated.

Cheers to Blogger!!
