It's been two years since my last blog, father...

For whatever reason... I forgot I started a blog. Children have that side-effect. Short-term memory loss. A friend started a blog and I read it-- got jazzed and thought , gee, I'm amusing, witty, clever and golly--people like me. I could do that. Funny thing was, I ALREADY DID! Okay so I admit to being a seven year sleep deprived mom who had perhaps been a bit on the indulgent side with her kids. "Watch your step honey- my umbilical cord is RIGHT THERE!! Oh, for heaven's sake.... didn't I WARN YOU... sorry, I'll get a Scooby-Doo Band Aid."

Well, I am a loving Mom. Of that point, there is no dispute. My REALLY TRULY AMAZING, multi-job always working, (e-based-company, AND travel agent on the side...) friend who used to be a paramedic, mom of two boys-- who are also super active in sports, church, reading and just your basic philanthropic endeavours---(very much like they are interviewing for colleges next semester...Did I mention they are, Oh, still in elementary school!) Well, back to my point.. She says (get this) I'm amazing... cause I made my girls Halloween costumes last year. Okay they were very nice... and I'll admit to some vicarious fun that was not intended (for shame) for THEM! But, it was a one shot deal. In and out.. Beginning, middle, end... done. Not quite as amazing as sustaining it over time in like eleven radiating directions... but, Um... thanks for the vote of confidence... I guess this means I'm making 'em something again THIS year. Crap. It's already september. W-t-h am I doing BLOGGING for crying out loud!!!

*Update September 12, 2006* Formy AMAZING FRIEND'S BLOG retort... http://debbieschroeder.typepad.com/my_weblog/2006/09/the_uber_mom.html Read her blog. "Just a little type A". Apparently I am "UBER MOM". :^)
