Lacey: October 2007

Oct 31, 2007

My name is Coleman. I love to play in the pool, to drool, to spit up on dad, and bang on everything with my toys. I love making noise! I am eight months old and I am almost walking. If I can't stand up and cruise around the furniture I get ornery. I love hanging on my mom and dad's legs, especially when they are trying to walk. I get at least one goose egg on my head each week because I can't sit still. I have to be on the move.

Our favorite things about OK.

I am a wife to one, a mother to one, and am expecting baby number 2. As a care taker of four (this includes myself, although not as time consuming as one would think) I often find myself ready for a nap at a moment's notice, out of time when it comes to taking care of myself, and in all honesty, happier than ever (including those free, early twenties when I had money to blow on whatever I wanted, size 8 jeans that actually fit, a great job, and no one to answer to but, well, me)! So, this blog is intended to bring back a little bit of me into the mix of my care taking a.k.a full-time mom, wife, toddler friend, lunch lady, maid, chauffeur, personal secretary, doctor, maintenance worker, interior decorator, stylist, and referee. Sometimes I think if I could find a quiet corner where I could close my eyes and repeat the mantra "Ooohhmm", I would never leave!
