A Walk in the Woods

Things have been quiet on the blog front because it hasn't been so quiet on the home front. We've had kid-ling since Sunday night. Unfortunately I don't have any cute kid-ling stories or funny little Oliver tales. We just have a flooded, muddy backyard where the dogs have to be confined whenever the kid-ling is here and the small irritations of dealing with a kid that isn't yours.

He's really been pretty good, all things considered. It's just hard to suddenly give up all your free time when he's around. I know I'm whining. I'll get over it.

Here's the real reason I'm whining. . .we spent our second anniversary watching Wonder Pets. . .and then fighting because we were forced to watch Wonder Pets on our anniversary. . .

One of the things that's helping us both cope is that we are using the money we are being paid for watching him to take a three day guided backpacking tour in the Great Smoky Mountains in August. Details here. We're going on a women's only trip and are VERY excited about it.

You gotta keep looking forward, huh? Or you just might lose your mind. . .
