A Peaceful Start

Ah, the joys of solitude and the peacefulness that washes over me when I wake up in the morning. I love it when my kids are asleep. They look so pretty, and perfect and that's when I find the time to really enjoy my life. I'm sitting here doing absolutely nothing at all, and it's so relaxing. At least until one of my kids wakes up and I have to start my routine for the day. Oh wait.....I think they're stirring....


7 hours later....


As I'm sure you all have realized, I haven't written anything in 7 hours. In those 7 hours, I have accomplished cleaning my kitchen, making 3 separate meals for my children, talked to my mom, cleaned up the kitchen some more, and have waited patiently for my husband to email me. I also started reading a book, much to my surprise because my children were playing quietly in their playroom and I thought hey, why not have somebody else entertain me for a little while? Of course, that only lasted until my youngest started whining and complaining about what his sister was doing, and I had to go play mediator.


I've also been wondering why we have no name for our baby. Yes, I am 37 weeks pregnant, and my husband and I have no name for our unborn baby yet. Do I feel guilty? A tad. Do I feel like I'm a bad mother? No, not really because I know that we're not going to name her Kal-El or Petal, or try to name her Q like the couple in Switzerland are trying to do.

My dear, sweet husband is so funny at times. I love him to death, but really, I don't think that I want to name the baby Tayloriza (after Taylor Swift and Eliza Dushku). Nor would I want to name the baby Tinu, what he calls a "combination of both of our names." I know he's just joking, but seriously, a pregnant woman can only veto so many times until she starts thinking that "Veto" and "No" would be good names for the baby.


We keep on going back and forth between names, and it seems like a lot of drama for something that should be really simple. Sometimes I just wish that there would be a random generation of names button that I can use, so we won't have to deal with this mess. Added on to the fact that my family is trying to give me their input about names, and I just have to keep on saying no. No, I cannot name the baby Victoria because there is already a Vicky in the family. No, I cannot name the baby Christina because my name is Tina, and that would be too weird.


*Sigh* I'm in baby name hell, and I just hope that we can agree on a name for her really soon.


And here I go again, being mediator. My children are bugging each other, and I have to go interfere before they start hurting themselves. I think it's because they've been inside all day and are starting to get cabin fever. Here's to hoping that tomorrow is a better day for my children.....yeah I don't forsee that hapening until they see their daddy but that's a whole other post right there. Good night and take care! :-)
