Life in a Nutshell
I have to say, I love chatting on the phone...almost to a fault. If I have an especially huge mess in the kitchen, I'll call up an old friend, or my Mom and chat away while I tackle it. Now, before my sisters get mad and wonder why I have a hard time calling them, I have to stress that these conversations happen during the day, (business hours)... Poor CT sis (now KY sis) has been promised many "after the kids go to bed" phone calls, and has not received one! The reason for this is that by the time the kids do actually fall asleep (and thus the guarantee of not being interrupted...unless for a bad dream) I am so exhausted that I can't even complete a thought or a sentence, and it takes all my energy just to shower and fall into bed.
And so, Shan, we had guests last night. The kids had a blast with them...translation: the house was an absolute disaster! We had every single room to tidy up, the dishes to do, and 5 screaming kids to clean up, get pj's on, and coax into bed. They were all at the point of exhaustive hysteria...(me too). I soaked in the tub and fell asleep as soon as my head hit the pillow at 10:30pm.
So, in sum. I do love to chat on the phone..I do love my sisters very dearly, and someday, the two shall meet, and we will be able to chat all day long!! :)

Hi! I'm a friend of CA sis and KY sis, and found my way here via CA sis's blog. :-) It's good to meet you!
The whole "I'll do it when the kids go to bed...[flash forward]...I'm sooo tired...zzzz...." thing is all too familiar. :-) And if I do stay up, especially for more than one night in a row, it catches up with me the next day and I feel like nodding off all day, so I try not to do it much. Hubby needs to get me a land line phone with a wireless earpiece (he's a techie...) so I can do what you described. Usually what I do is take the kids to the park on the weekend and let my older child play while I hold my babe and use a bunch of my unlimited weekend cellphone minutes. :-)
God bless,
Mrs. Bear
Hi! Nice to meet you! I have seen your responses on my sister's blogs!
The phone is something I wrestle with all day..that, and this darn blog :) I can do one or the other...not both in the same day! And, I have to admit, it's a good escape from my chores....I definitely need to be more diligent in that area!
