brief update

i'm going on about 3 hodge-podged hours of sleep here, but here's an update:

- the kitchen painting continues. assume it will continue, seriously, for the next 3 years minimum. but carson woke up the other day and found me painting. "mom, this kitchen looks SPLENDID!" made me smile. and also, mental note: no more watching thomas the tank engine. that vocab is bordering on waaaaay too nerdy. (he also heard layla crying in her room after her nap, "can you heah (hear) layla's TEWIBLE cwy? let's go get huh (her)!" loving these adjectives, kid.)

- layla's been sick and hasn't slept well at nights. actually, i lied. all she really needs is to be held and rocked, and she'll sleep like a...i don't know, something that sleeps really well. but night after night, that rocking chair and i agree less and less. thank goodness for self-repairing bodies! (eventually...)

- more snow in logan. awesome.

- i love being my kids' mom. seriously. i've had some fun times with my babies lately, and even though i complain a lot (probably too much), there is nothing better than stretching out an afternoon building with legos or coloring or dancing together.

- jazz suffered an extremely disappointing and frustrating loss to the rockets last night, bringing the series to 2-1. come ON. how dare they give tracy mcgrady the satisfaction?

- have i ever mentioned how much i enjoy eating tootsie rolls?

- in the words of kip dynamite, "peace out."
