JuJuBee: JuJuWho?

There's really no point in boring you with the whys and howcomes and the where have I beens and all of that nonsensical jargon...the important thing is that I am here, people. You have missed me...I know that you have been crying, maybe even sobbing into your cornflakes, but never fear, for I am back. I am possibly even going to be posting on a somewhat regular basis (what constitutes "regular" anyway?) so commence with your rejoicing! Shout it from the roof tops! JuJuBee is back! SHE'S BACK!

Now maybe she will shut the fuck up and get back to what is new. Also, I think she may have spit on my keyboard.

You guys look great! Have you lost weight or something? I haven't seen you in sooo long. I've almost forgotten how to type.

I think we are maybe finally getting settled in to our new home. We are certainly far from having boxes unpacked. There are quite a few in the basement that once a week or so we will move around in order to feel as though we have made some huge progress in the unpacking department. We will eventually have a living area down there, but it might be years before I can even imagine what it would look like. Step by step...day by day and all of that crap.

So..as for the children: The boy, he is spending a week in Pennsylvania with my family. He does that every summer. It used to be a relaxing week for me, but now with the little people, it isn't as relaxing as it once was. Still...it's quieter, and I have less to clean up and I don't find puddles of piss on the floor by the toilet...so there's that.

The Girl. What can I say? She is just amazing. If she grows up to be half as stubborn and hilarious and comical and intelligent as she is right this second? I'll never have to worry about her. We started potty training last night and so far it consists of my asking, "Hey Maddie!!! Don't you want to sit down on the potty and make a pee? You can have some MnM's if you do!!" and then she screams, "OK!" and sits on the potty for 2.4 seconds, making a pretend peeing face and jumps up to show me some imaginary pee in the potty and holds out her hands for some candy. We have work to do.

The baby is...well....he keeps us on our toes. He has been sleeping better, eating better, and spending more time not screaming. Progress! More on the baby as the milestones hit. I sense some sitting up and/or crawling very soon.

Ok, enough for now. Too much typing all at once might scare my fingers back into hiding. What have you been up to, internets!?

Glad to see you back! Thought you might have had another kid or two in your absence.

I have one kid leaving Grade 1, one "graduating" preschool, and one being a pocket-full of trouble!

Take care, sunshine! And enjoy your pee-on-the-floor-less week (unless Maddie misses!) Kisses to the babe.

OMG! Your back. Glad to see you are still blogging and plan to more regularly. I missed your updates. My two are growing like weeds. Both growing attitudes too! As far as I go, I just recently became an independent consultant for the Pampered Chef, so that is keeping me busy. Looking forward to reading your blog on a regular basis again.

I'll be right back, I have to go up on the roof and shout...
Welcome back, Sunshine. Going to watch Spiderman while the boy is un-pruning from swimming. When I get down off the roof, that is...

Ahhhh! I am so excited that you are back! I have missed you! I need a partner in potty training! I need to know someone else whose baby is screaming all the time! I need a drink!

Glad you are back!
