Yes, I know...I suck at blogging...

What can I say...I really suck at this blogging business. I get on a roll for a while, but I always end up leaving it at the end of my "To Do" list. I think about blogging an awful lot, but actually sitting down and writing is a whole other story. So sorry to all you readers out there in BlogLand...I'm sure this is probably why I have very little traffic on my lil old blog!

Life is chaotic and beautiful all at once around here. My kids are growing like weeds...in a few short months I will have 5 and 3 year old daughters! Indigo is now 7.5 months old and is pulling up on EVERYTHING. His favourite thing to do is to stand behind me while I am standing at the counter making dinner and pull himself up on my pants. Only problem is that usually my pants fall down in the process of him standing up! He's got two teeth and has just started solids (he had a very brief stint about a month and a half ago but he decided quickly that it wasn't as good as he thought it looked lol). He had spinach tonight for the first time and LOVED it. Hooray for babies who love green food :)

Midwifery school is going well...slowly as per usual but well! I got my final mark for that damn Biology course a couple weeks ago and I got an A-!! I am very very proud of that considering the hell of a time I had with that course. I got 100% on my final exam!! Woowoo for me!! I'm working on three courses at the moment; Medical tTerminology, History of Midwifery and Midwife's Assistant. All three need to be completed by May so I need to get my ass in gear and keep working through the coursework. I have changed my Major Map (timeline of my courses) twice already because I have fallen behind and I am determined to not get any further behind! I want to stick closely to my Major Map so I can just get this done already.

In shocking news...we bought a van. OMG you say. You?! You bought a van?? Yes, unfortunately we did. And I hate to say it, but I love it. I always said I would *never* own a van, no matter how big a family I had, but alas...convenience and practicality overrules ego. We would be fine with my little Saturn were it not for CAMPING. Camping is impossible with such a small car and so many people crammed into it. So, I joined the Minivan Mafia. We bought a 2008 Nissan Quest and it really is pretty funky. It drives like a car, which I really like, and it sure is shiny and purdy! And the space...holy crap. It definetely took some getting used to...it was really weird having all my kids so spread out in the van when I was so used to having them sardined together in the back of my Saturn.

So...anyone wanna buy a great Saturn? ;) I am sad to see my first brand-new car go, but we definetely do not need three vehicles. Jesse has his work truck, I have the van. We had the Kidney Foundation come and pick up the shitbeater Suburban beast of a truck (finally!!! wooowoooooooo!!!!)(Jesse was sad to see that piece of shit go, but I don't miss it one little bit! Can you tell? haha)

In other news...well I guess I don't have any other news right now. None that I can think of at least. Wow, ain't I just the most interesting gal you know?

So funny, I always think the more I read about you, the more we have in common.

Currently LAUGHING MY ASS OFF at the fact that I am a Saturn car driver too.
