OK PEOPLE!!!

Apparently my lack of blogging has left some of you feeling empty, unfulfilled, and longing for the details that make up the carnival that is my life. The wait is over. Your cries have been heard. I understand your anger. I mean, even I want to know more about my life. Some may see it as a mind numbingly predictable routine. But they obviously haven't experienced the jitters of morning drop off with Will at school, or the reward of waking every morning to the refreshing roar of a suddenly terrified toddler who realizes he's alone. And anyone who could think my life a bore has clearly never felt the thrill of a three pointer with a #2 diaper. Allow me to explain to all those that haven't witnessed my super hero-like gift with their own eyes. If a diaper of a certain weight is wrapped tightly enough and the winds are just calm enough, I can sink that stink from at least 25 feet (all the way from by back door to the garbage can at the end of the garage). I will admit, though, that I have no concept of feet, or distance in general, or chronological events in history, or a tablespoon, or a yard stick, or a quart...pretty much any jargin useful when measuring. Now I can't stop thinking of them...a lightyear, a cubic foot, an octave, a leauge. Was all of this covered on one day at school when I'd slept in? Because I couldn't read the clock..okay that was funny. Where was I? Oh yes, our life may appear to be mundane, repetitive, or formulaic. But do not be deceived. The four of us manage to make life an olympicesque challenge with what normal folk might call just daily responsibilities. For example, I have become emotionally invested in the ongoing mystery of why, upon finishing everyones laundry, do all three boys have perfectly matched up socks yet EVERYTIME my own personal stack of clothes is topped with a mountain of socks that are all so unique I can't even pretend that this one might go with that one. And another thing, just how is it possible that Daniel is so often jolted awake at night simply by me turning off my lamp and then fluffing my pillow. So, look, this is nonsense, I'm aware but you can't expect me to deliver the goods when I'm not blogging as a result of inspiration. I've been in a creative rut, or a posting pothole if you will. It's not easy trying to look like a normal family. How 'bout I just shut it and post some random pics? Okay? Okay.
