I feel like I had a newborn...

last night! Shelby was up every two hours last night! And even in between those two hours she would cry or moan. What?!!!? I think it due to teething. That's the only thing I can think of. No fever, but a runny nose that started during the night. These are the times when I remember why I agreed to stop at 3 kids! I always in my heart of hearts want more, and if Tom were today to say, "Let's have another!", I would still say "yes". (remember though, he is snipped, LOL)

But, I am getting over that want, finally. I talked about it to some friends a couple of weeks ago, and I think that helped a lot. I think as a woman, especially when up enjoy almost everything about it...the conceiving :), the pregnancy, the delivery, the baby:), you always will want to have more. And I think we all know our "number" or "limit" within us of what we can handle, or what we "envision" our families to look like. And even when I was younger, much younger, I always thought in my mind that I would have 3 of my own. I say "own", because I am hoping for the chance to adopt some day.

But anyway, I just went off somewhere else, let's get back to the main story of, NO SLEEP. Because, not only did Shelby not sleep, we were up from 9-11pm with the older two! We just put Halle in a transitional bed. (her crib with 3 railing walls and one open side with side bars) And she was getting out constantly until about 10:30pm, then Brady thought it would be cool to get out of bed because why Brady? "My owie on my knee." The one he got that morning. Yeah. So cool.

So anyway, I am going to follow suit from a friend that said the other day she drank a 6 cup pot of coffee...Well, I'm on my first cup and almost ready to pour another! And, I didn't get to go swim today, because I was too exhausted...so know I feel yucky about that too! But it's ok! Because I am going to the Group 1 Crew concert tonight and I will not let anything like one night of lack of sleep to bring me down!!!

And just to give you fair warning, to all of my pregnant friends (and sister, but she already knows this), I will steal your baby for a few hours here and there...I love babies, and there is nothing like giving a baby a little lovin' even from a crazy friend!

There are two kinds of people: Part Two - The non-movers

Coffee cup in one hand, veggie/fruit smoothie in the other. No seriously, that's what I have on each side of me as I write. I'm smiling because of how funny this is, as it seems to also relate to this conundrum of a topic before us. There are two kinds of people, and there are definitely two kinds of beverages.  My caffeinated beverage on my left brings me a one sided joy that I cannot even begin to detail. I love my coffee. And I really do think it loves me back. At least for a while. As I peer out of the corner of my eye to the right, I see the greenish grainy drink to my right. Today the fennel seeds in it do not make it seem as dirty  I mean, like I just gathered them from the dirt without rinsing and sprinkled them in there kind of dirty. Maybe it was the splash of OJ I decided to add to it this morning. Now, I know that this drink loves me. It is good for many aspects of my life. Health, energy, sustenance, power. But I do not enjoy it as much. When I make my ...

There are two kinds of people: Part One

This topic has been on my mind for quite a few years, and I always tell my ultra hip (yeah right) self, that I should write about it. So finally, after this last revelation that, yes, there are two kinds of people in this world, I needed to get it off my chest. There are two kinds of people in this world. "But Megan?" you quickly rebut, "No there's not! There are so many kinds of people in this world. Short people, tall people, loud people, introverted people, French people, people who like food, people who are allergic to grass, dog people, cat people, this list is endless." And to you I say, "Well of course." But  here's the deal. When it comes down to it. We are all, but one of two kinds of people. And I'll kindly, yet firmly, break it down for y'all. There are two kinds of people in this world. And you WILL fall under one of these categories. Are you ready? Here, I'll set the scene. You are walking down the sidewalk....

A picture, a moment.

My husband and I went to Mexico last February. This was our last night there. Or was it? We had not gone on a vacation in 10 years! This photo is unique and amazing in so many ways. I had gotten a new camera, and all vacation, I would mess around with new settings. What time of day was this? Looks like a sunset right? It's not! It was a sunrise! I  had some strange setting, that I have not been able to replicate. But it made this look like our last night there, but it was our last morning. I awoke early so I could be on the beach when the sun came up.If I could keep a memory that included sense of smell, feeling, sound, and sight, it would be this, wrapped with a bow. I was the only one out there in the early hours, which was amazing in and of itself. I took a lot of other shots by the water, and a little while later when I was heading back, I turned around, and took a shot off the upper patio of the resort. And this is what I got. It is my favorite picture...
