Whew.

I think I didn't post anything for a while because I didn't want to become obsessed with it.  But all I've done is think about what I could write.  Kind of obsessive, don't you think?

Had an interesting conversation with Hubbs last night.  But before I go there, here's a little background:

We have two kids.  They are wonderful blessings, but both were absolute surprises.  Hubbs would like to be done having kiddos, I kind of want a few more.  Yes, I said a few.  Totally ok with that.  Mini Bubbs is 3 months old this week, and here's the conversation we had:

Moms: 'I really want to not be done having kids...'
Hubbs: *groans*
Moms: 'You're SURE you don't want more?  Not even to try for a girl?'
Hubbs: 'Eh, one of our friends will have a girl at some point.'
Moms: 'For real?  You don't want more kids?  I mean, you're not even 30 yet and you've decided this?'
Hubbs: 'Yep.'
Moms:*rolls eyes and walks away*
later on...
Moms: 'Honey, did you see so-and-so's new tattoo?  It looks great!'
Hubbs: 'Yup.'
Moms: 'I really want one now...'
Hubbs: 'Tell ya what; if we are done with kids, you can get a tattoo.'

Ok, so how in the WORLD is a tattoo equal to a KID?!  I didn't know what to say!



But, after the explosion that Big Bubbs had at church this morning, I'm thinking 2 is more than enough for now!!

Is this how this works?

I'm not really sure how to start a blog.  I'm used to sharing random thoughts and events on Facebook, but to actually sit and compose a concise arraignment of thoughts is hard to figure out.  I guess I'll start with a little about me, which makes no sense because IF anyone reads this, they probably know me...:

I'm married.  Hubbs probably thinks that I'm slowly going insane, and most days I feel like it.  The man puts up with so much insanity from me, it's surprising he's not completely bald or grey-headed. (By the way-my spell check says that grey is spelled wrong.  It's not.  I googled it.  Booyah spell check.  It is having a hey day with google and booyah.) 

Ok, so husband is researching loony bins for wifey.  Now for the reason that I probably will go insane: my two sweet boys.  Big Bubbs is 5 1/2 going on 25.  He likes to play video games with Hubbs, talk about getting a tattoo, and asks on an almost HOURLY basis "Is daddy home yet?!"  Mini Bubbs isn't so vocal about his parental preference, seeing as how he's 8 weeks old.  I'm sure he will share his brother's preference at some point.  I have a feeling that Mini will be just that: a Mini of Big Bubbs.  Nothing wrong with that, now that I know how to prepare...

 So now on to me.  I like to craft.  Yep.   I said it.  I like to make things.  Knit, crochet, sew, cook, whatever.  There's something about creating things that makes me happy.  This summer I plan to add soap making and bread baking to my repertoire.  I get distracted easily.  Mostly from the creating of things, or the internet.  Hence the blog.  I love classic rock, and could probably beat you any day, place, and time in a karaoke battle.  Bring it on. 

Well, that's it for now.  I suppose that there will be posts regularly, but the spontaneity of it all is rather exciting, so keep checking back!
