All of the above.

I am, that is. Jen told me that I am a slacker with my blog lately, but…to be honest…I’m just so tired. Don’t get me wrong…I’ll take tired any day over morning (or as I expereinced with my first two, all day) sickness. I’m hoping that maybe God will have mercy on me and spare me the morning sickness this go around. So, anyway, part of me wanting to curl up under some warm covers and snooze all day is resulting in my brain not coming up with anything even somewhat interesting to write about. I’ll give it a shot, though.

Thanks to everyone for their congratulations and support. I’m very excited about Baby Boo (as Kyra has christened the little one). Kyra is excited, but I think she can’t really be bothered to contemplate it too much, as she realizes that it’s going to be a very long time until Baby Boo gets to come out, as she describes it. Elijah doesn’t understand, but I got quite a kick out of telling him there was a baby in mommy’s belly. His confused looks were priceless. Chris is about as excited as my stick in the mud husband gets. He kind of has a “there…you’re having another one…happy now? then quite bugging me about a baby!” attitude. At least I know from prior experience that he does get pretty happy when the baby actually gets here. No worries!

It’s fun for me to contemplate life with three kiddos four and under. I am an optimist (at least today), and I refuse to think of the bad things that could complicate things with three. Kyra and Elijah are very well behaved for their ages, and I have no problem taking them out with me anywhere. They mind well, and they do good out in public. With Chris’ work schedule, I’m quite used to doing things with them on my own. Kyra will be four and Elijah will be two when Boo is born, so I expect it to be even easier with the added time. Don’t tell me if you think otherwise, because, frankly, I don’t need to hear that. Do however, if you feel so inclined, tell me how you think I am right in my optimism.

Tired as I am, I have actually got a few things done this week. I cleaned the church yesterday, and, I have to say, it’s nice to go to clean something and it be nearly as clean as when you last cleaned it. To clean and not have anyone messing up things right behind you is wonderful. If only I could have that at home, maybe I would be better at cleaning. It’s dicouraging when it gets undone as soon as you do it. I did manage to tackle Kyra’s disaster area room today. That was a nice feeling. Now if I could just rustle up some energy to do the kitchen and the living room too, I would feel like I really accomplished something today.

Well, Elijah is getting a bit whiny, so I think that’s my cue. Have a good evening, everybody!
