How Brilliant!

What to write for my first post? I keep telling myself that whatever I write here must be brilliant. As if I'm brilliant! Well, time to let go of the OBSESSIVE/PERFECTIONIST part of my personality and JUST WRITE already!

The truth is, I've had a long day. Well, actually, before that I had a long night. Cohen is nursing and like every baby with a tiny stomach, he thinks he's hungry all the time. And his love for milk is beginning to show - boy, is he getting pudgy!

Isn't he adorable?! Baby pudgy is cheek-pinching cute; mommy pudgy - not so cute! More on that later...

After waking up before the sun and getting Jenna off to school, I sat down to serve up yet another hearty meal for my adorable little butterball. I had high hopes of sneaking in some shut-eye before Hannah woke up - my plans never seem to work out anymore! So, all awake and accounted for by 7am. I made it to Target to get some last-minute favors for Jenna's holiday party gift bags at school, then took both little ones with me to partake in the festivities. Sound difficult? Not so much. They loved it. Jenna, on the other hand, was ready to leave soon after our arrival. Oh, well. Jenna doesn't really like parties. Not even her own.

So I get all three kiddos out to the car safely *whew!* and together we make it home in one piece. I have been here, at home, ever since. Sound peaceful? Think again. The fun doesn't end there. Hannah decided to take her diaper off - twice! - and was even kind enough to include a gift for me - BOTH times! Potty training, anyone? In addition, Jenna was having issues walking on her right leg and foot. She kept falling into the walls and tripping over, well, nothing at all. I think she was having little seizures. Poor girl. Trying to get her to take a nap was like pulling teeth (or even just brushing them at this point). It's been a long week so far, and what day is this? Wednesday?!

Alas, Cohen is happily swinging away, belly full, Daddy's reading a story to Hannah, and Jenna's watching "Rainbow" (Wizard of Oz). *sigh* How long will it last?
