7 Quick Takes Friday

ONE

I've missed a few weeks! By the time I could get to it, it was always Saturday or Sunday, although "Seven Quick Takes Sunday" does have a nice ring to it. ;-) I've been busier than normal, but mostly I just can't think of anything to say lately. Blame it on...

TWO
(Luke, you can stop reading right now, LOL!)
breastfeeing infertility finally coming to a close. I was thinking the other night that I've only had two or three cycles in the last SIX years! That's a lot of PMS to make up for, and I'm doing a good job of it. Add that to the fact that my 1yo is all of a sudden feverish and up all night, and I'm wishing for the days when I would be considered unclean. I'd like nothing more than to be alone in a hut with my baby, a little fire going, us curled up doing NOTHING.

THREE
This of course looks NOTHING like what my baby would rather I do. I've never had a child (you'd think with five, there'd be odds, but no) who was cuddly and would just be happier sitting rocking in a chair together. Every one of our children screams bloody murder until you get up and pace around with them. Fast. But at least...

FOUR
Dh's vacation starts tonight!! Woo hoo! We'll probably get very little done of the million things I'd like to accomplish, but if I just make peace with that fact now, I'll be OK, right? We don't have lights out, we don't have the tree up, we don't have any decorations out, we have shopping left to do, we haven't painted still... but I only want to be in a hut by the fire with my baby. ;-)

FIVE
It's hard to write anything when the baby (tddler, sorry) on my lap keeps whining, crying, and hitting me. I'm just sayin.'

SIX
Speaking of the toddler, his newest cute thing is when he puts one arm up in a "charge!" position, tilts his head, and runs into another room. Too funny.

SEVEN
I am the Catholic Living Haiku Cyber Champion of the World. Danielle said I'd have cyber bragging rights, so there I go. I'll stop now, I'm really not the type! LOL
