Hello everyone!
I had this notion of writing poems again. Lots and lots of poems because I'm the type of person who loves to write poems!!! I was going to start the rest of my blogs off with a poem. Just a short little thing about what I was feeling.
Then I just stopped giving a damn and gave up. After one poem. I'm a quitter. I know this and I accept it. And you know what, I don't mind. There are certain things I give up on after little effort (school, poetry, friendships, etc) while others I will hold on to forever and ever no matter how hard they may be. Like my marriage and my family. There is NO way I am ever going to give up on my husband. No matter how hard things may get. I promise I will try my hardest to stay with him forever.
Anyway, that's not what the point of this blog was going to be about so I'm not going to write about it anymore.
There's not much going on to write about though...let's see, what's new??
Well, I took Khodi to the zoo on Saturday! It was his very first time going. It was amazing. He loved playing with everything shiny or colorful or fun. He loved playing in the fountains and cried when we had to move on. He wasn't so interested in the animals as the stuff he could interact with. There was a tire filled with rubber pieces kind of like sand. He would have stayed in it all day if we didn't have to leave :) He also loved playing with the goats in the petting zoo. It was a day filled with stimulation for him. Everywhere we went he was enthralled with something new. He just had SO much fun!! I loved it.
The next day we went to IKEA and it was kind of the same thing. He gets so interested in all things new. He would have played in the kitchens for hours and with all the stuffed animals and lights and appliances and boxes and candles. There was so much there for him to play with! He had a blast there too! It's amazing to think a child can be interested in everything and nothing at the same time. He could play with a bottle cap for two hours and be equally entertained with his "real" toys
Oh! My "mom" Karen is coming out soon!! She'll be here October 23rd. I'm so damn excited!!! I can't wait for her and Angela (her wife) to get here. I miss them so so so so so so so much! I haven't seen them since April when we went to Florida together. The two of them live in Georgia. This will be the second time Angela's been here, the 3rd for Karen. They were here last year for the Christmastime and this year they'll be here for HALLOWEEN!!! I'm so so excited! It's going to be brilliant!
Well, that's it for an update. Tomorrow's my final ultrasound and I'll see if I can post up Haley's picture :)

More to us now
I'm awake and singing songs that remind me of you
The sad songs of a world ago
The ones I knew would take me back
Before it was even over
What we had is forever immortalized in me
Through a few, magical songs
No poems written by a lovesick heart
Can ever do us justice
Or say just the right words
But the songs will always be there
The songs, and nothing else
What keeps you up at night
Thinking of me?
I wrote this last night because Khodi kept me up. He went down pretty early but he woke up again at 3:00 and didn't go back to sleep until 6:00! I was fine with it, though, because he was so super cute :)
Anyway a friend of mine wrote this http://handshedown.blogspot.com piece and it reminded me so much of an old boyfriend of mine. When we broke up I had a few songs that I would listen to over and over thinking of him. No matter how many years go by, I will always think of him when I hear these few songs. But that's it. I won't remember him for much else. We didn't really share too many memories. I wrote poems for him but I barely read them and they're kind of surfacy at best. I have nothing to remember him by and that's fine by me. It's his loss, really.
That's why I love being with Justin. I never wrote any poetry for him but we have SO much more to our relationship. We have our entire lives together. We have our children, we have memories...I've changed so much because of him. And that's just wonderful.
