stop waking up and wishing I was in Oki? stop waking up and wishing I didn’t feel like I have to barf? Funny. I’ve been off island for 10 weeks now and I just keep thinking it’s time to get back on the plane. Funny. I’ve been pregnant for 8 weeks now (wow, that long already?) and I just keep thinking it’s time TO FEEL BETTER.
Battling bronchitis, moving blues and morning (all day, really) sickness is not my idea of a fun summer. Plus, it’s bloody COLD here! I don’t want to swim, I want a fire and a blanket.
Oh, boy. I’m really whining here, huh?
Okay, so bright spots. Annie & Tami are here! We basically spent the weekend at Mission Beach w/Annie & co. and all of her family. What a wonderfully lazy weekend. We haven’t seen Tami & co yet, but are hopeful this week we’ll work out some visiting.
THAT child has the LOUDEST, SHRILLEST, MOST OBNOXIOUS shriek on the planet. And I promise you, no matter what you are thinking, it is true. I have actually gotten a headache the last 2 days in the car from her SHRIEKING. And, truly, she saves it up for the car and restaurants. It’s just lovely and so endearing. It’s darn good she’s really FREAKING cute.
Seriously, she has been just great this weekend. I think seeing some familiar faces and having LOTS of beach time really helped. I know it helped me!Evie started a short summer program at her school this past week & has loved it. Her teacher is just wonderful and has made Eva feel welcome and loved. I’m so blessed in that respect. She is TOTALLY on par with Bender and that is more than I could have hoped for. (Bender was Eva’s beloved teacher her 1st year of pre-school.) It’s been a nice pasttime for her (and me) as I wade my way through the 1st trimester, re-enroll in college, attempt to get moved into our place, plan more travel and adjust to life on the sunny (HAHA) coast.
Oy. It’s totally late and my bean is making me tired, so off to dreamland I skip. More later.
Love to all.

Ok… this may be a long post because we are TOTALLY going through the same things right now. Except the whole pregnancy thing (knock on wood!). Addison is a SCREAMER too. The whole point of the baby sign is to allieviate the frustration, but she’ll do the baby sign AND scream at the same time. Annalise also wants a “new family” but she changed her mind when I told her that she couldn’t take her Cinderella toothbrush and her toys (“Maybe your new family will buy you a toothbrush…”) So maybe that will be a topic of discussion when she has to go to therapy as an adult, but it worked 🙂 Can’t wait to see you SOON!

Hey, at least you weren’t these for the typhoon! Look at the positive and you are with Annie!!!! I would do anything to see Annie. I miss her so much! 🙁
Aren’t daughters hysterical? Sammi hates me at least once a day! Then when she wants something, she is my best friend. Right now, she is playing the “You weren’t there for my birthday last year so I need lots of presents this year!” I should’ve seen that one coming!
HEY, it is warm in VA so you should’ve come here. Phooey on CA! We could’ve been at the pool together everyday! Miss you!

Yes, Tiff, as Michelle mentioned, at least you missed the typhoon. Glad to see more pics. You know Sami totally drives me nuts so I can feel your pain. We wish you were back in Oki too. Give kisses to the girls and the belly.
