SOCS: First Timer

This is my first time doing Stream Of Consciousness Sunday.  It's Jana's brainchild over at Jana's Thinking Place and it's pure genius.  This is how I began blogging - just kind of throwing up on the page and not really worrying about telling a story or even making sense.  I miss that.  So here we go...



I'm drinking a beer and eating Doritos.  Ew.  I know.  Bedtime is killing me these days.  I don't even know what's so difficult about it half the time, but it's making me want to bang my head against a wall.  Tonight was fairly smooth - but still, both kids weren't asleep until almost 11 pm.  Not ok.  I know they will survive, but I need that couple of hours between our bedtimes.  I want to watch TV and eat junk and enjoy the quiet.  On the bright side my Dad held Zoe tonight while I got Leo ready for bed and she slept in the nook of his arm for almost an hour and when I came to collect her she was looking at him with these oh, so sweet eyes that seemed to be really happy about their bonding time.

jb left to go back to Philly/work yesterday.  I hate being apart.  I know that sounds co-dependent, but I really do.  She's the ying to my yang.  She really keeps me grounded when I start to spiral out of control. jb is also a true co-parent and a big help with the kids.  But more than both those things, she's my best friend and I miss talking to her.  My time is running out. So in review: beer, bedtime stinks, my dad is cute, I miss jb.  Literary gold right there, folks.
