This blogging thing

This morning I have been reading some of the other family blogs out on this lovely Internet thingy (while breastfeeding M I might add, cause I got to multi-task people!)  While reading these blogs, I am realizing that 1) my blog sucks and 2) I am not that great of a writer.  Now I am not saying these things to get sympathy or anything, it is just a realization on my part.  The "not being a great writer" part is ironic to me actually.  See, I tutor (or did before M) in English, SAT, and writing.  I've been doing it for 7 years or so, and I always thought I was doing a good job.  But after reading some other blogs, I'm not feeling that so much.  

I have always considered myself an o.k. writer.  I mean, I did well in my English classes in school and on the verbal part of the SAT.  So maybe it is the mechanics of writing that I am good at???  I don't know.  I DO know that I don't want my blog to suck, and I hope that you guys reading this don't judge my writing style/grammatical errors. 

Anyway, that being said, there are some wonderful blogs out there, by some wonderfully fun mamas.  When I figure out how to link them to my blog, I will share. (Do I just copy and paste?)  Until then, I hope you will stick with me as I navigate this new world of blogging.  And, hopefully my writing will get better!

Please leave me a comment!  I would love to hear your thoughts (good or bad).
  

Sleep part 2

So I guess I should have been more specific when I wrote my previous post on sleep.  M is a great sleeper AT NIGHT.  During the day... not so much.  He is a cat napper... booo!  He will be very fussy and go to sleep, but only sleep for about 30 mins, sometimes only 10.  This, of course, makes it VERY hard for me to get anything accomplished.  I barely have time to take a shower these days.  Hopefully, this is just a phase and he will grow into a longer morning/afternoon nap.  Or he will be like E and be a horrible napper.  And speaking of E, I feel the worst for her.  She is the poor, attention starved child who must suffer, while I try to get M to sleep so many times during the day.  Bless her!  She is such a good child.  She will play by herself or watch t.v. or read books.  But I still feel guilty that a lot of my time is spent getting M to sleep. 

What a difference two kids makes!  You feel guilty no matter what you do that one of your children is not getting the attention they deserve.  But I wouldn't go back at all!  I love my little M and my big girl E!  Our family is definitely complete as four and I will figure out how to balance all of this.
