Hmn, well.
Isn't this awkward.
It's like running into that guy you had a one night stand with a few weeks later and then fumbling to try and talk about anything other than the fact that you just up and left and never called or answered your phone.
Only I wouldn't know anything about that.
I'm here! In Rain and Snow Central! Although it seems as though the rest of the Northeast is also suffering the shit weather, so I can't really blame it on Buffalo, and also it is April...which incidentally is the month I was born and though I have all but ignored you all and fell off of the face of the earth, I will still accept presents, cards, chocolate and copious amounts of alcohol.
We are slowly but surely settling into our new home. Our first family get together will be on the 29th to celebrate my baby girl turning 2 years old and my turning 29 years old. I was under the mistaken assumption that we would be all unpacked and settled into the house and new routines by then.
Ha.
Hahahahahahahahah.
I was clearly smoking something that day.
There is still so much to do. We still have boxes everywhere. Most of my clothes are in wardrobe boxes, Mr. JuJu has clothes all over, LittleJuJu's room is in chaos until we get him a dresser and put border up, everything is still so...undone.
But we are home. We are finally in our own home and we love it. The Boy is adjusting to school pretty well, the babies are adjusting to the house and seeing Grandma on a regular basis...and I am adjusting to having someone around in the evening to help me with the kids.
A huge reason as to why I haven't been here is because the computer is now in the basement. In the old house, it was smack dab in the center of the house where I would walk past it about 11 gazillion trillion times a day. I had the opportunity to blog and check my email whenever I wanted and could still be right there with the kids...now I have to time my visit to the computer with the times when the kids are sleeping, or when I run down to put clothes in the dryer, or when Mr. J is home. So until we get a laptop, which may happen sooner than later, I will be posting pretty much hardly ever.
So, uhm...what's new with you? Is there still anyone reading? If you are, you so totally deserve a cookie. Go ahead...go get one, I'll wait here.
Welcome Back!!!! I'm still here. I've been checking daily, patiently awaiting your return. I got a little update from your mom just to make sure you hadn't moved to a different planet! I'm glad everything is going well for all of you. Happy early birthday to you and the little one(I know I'll forget later)! You can have my cookie-I'm on a diet kick-at least for this week!!

I went and got a Stoned Wheat Thin cracker, cuz that's all there is in the cookie jar at work today. (Ripped off!)
It's easy to say I'm still reading since I get the update in my Google Reader feed and it's almost like I never left. Fun!
Congrats on moving into the new home and having a husband at home in the evenings and stuff. You're getting there.

Unlike Natalie, I have been IMpatiently waiting...but I forgive you. Moms of three must unite. Glad to hear that Little JuJu is settling well into his new school. That's always a little tough on younguns.
Hope the babies have been treating you well and letting you sleep a teeny bit. I'm sending you lottery vibes so you can get yourself a laptop and keep us up to date on your day to day. Happy advanced b-day to you and Baby JuJu. And kisses to Itty JuJu (post pictures!)
No cookies; grabbed some Easter chocolate instead.
XO

Nice.

"Go ahead... go get one..." You little smart ass. ;-Þ
So, besides the laptop, what do you want for your birthday?
Posted by: Mom | Tuesday, April 17, 2007 at 08:03 PM
mmm...cookies :)

Glad to see you're back, if only now and then. I came everyday to see if you had posted. I have to admit, though, I was wondering if you'd ever come back. I got my updates from your mom's site which I now read all the time. We are in our new house now and love it. It needs some blinds and maybe some grass outside, but other than that, it's great. The flu has been invading our house for the last couple of weeks. First Rachel, now Hailey. I pray I don't get it. Cross your fingers. Anyway, talk soon,

Ooh, I want a cookie! Though it will have to be gluten free as that's what's new with me. Good to see things are going well for you!

A cookie? Really???
Well, don't mind if I do!!!

Are you sure you are going to be 29?

Have you been busy or something? :)
Glad you found some time to post. A new house and a move is a big thing. We are still in our first house.
Get the laptop, definitely.

We moved into our house over a year ago and we still aren't fully unpacked.

Happy Birthday! Early, because I am forgetful! Still checking in to see how that new house is treating you! Have fun this weekend and drink one for me!
