Just a Few Thoughts

On pregnancy and child rearing:

• I don't think it's realistic to tell pregnant women that they shouldn't lick brownie batter.
• On a related note, I will no longer be volunteering to make dessert for our community group.  It only results in the consumption of at least 5 total brownies (cooked/uncooked) before even making it to group.
• For the first time the other day, I found myself falling asleep on the couch while watching my baby.  She was playing only feet away from me, but I could feel myself drifting into dreamland every now and then only to be awoken by a "Mama?" and a sweet face staring at me.  I have never felt worse about myself.  I was certain that CPS would come knocking at my door at any minute.  Praise Jesus, we survived, and Myla went down for a late nap so I could rest and become a new creation without mommy guilt.

On man and his apps:
     We have a first-generation Ipad that Dave uses most of the time.  He likes to waste time playing random games (much like I waste time on Facebook).  Anyway, I decided to try and find an app or two that Myla could use.  I was looking for something really simple with shapes or colors or something.  So, I fumbled around and made my way to the App store (only after asking Dave, "How do I get to the app store??").  I searched for free "baby" apps, and looked at some that had good ratings.  I ended up downloading "Rescue Fluffy," because Myla likes puppy dogs.  Well, it was a bust.  It was far too complicated for a baby, but I didn't know how to delete it, so I left it there.  The next night, I spied Dave playing an unfamiliar game.  Sure enough, he was rescuing Fluffy.  Twenty  minutes later, I saw him doing things like adopting a saint bernard from the shelter and grooming fluffy.  I'll let you know if he makes a successful rescue or not.


On having low standards in life:

• I can't stop streaming Sister Wives.
