I had several ideas for topics to blog about today, but rather than follow through with an actual entire post about any of them, which just seems too difficult right this minute, I thought I’d just list them out.
- I was upset with my girls because I felt like they didn’t really want to talk to me when they were out of town this weekend. (Actually I wrote this whole post, and then decided not to post it because it seemed like I was being silly and unreasonable once I wrote it all out.). Basically, I just want them to want to talk to me when they’re not here without me forcing it.
- I can’t stop thinking about this week’s Breaking Bad and what I think is going to happen the rest of the season. Walt is now so evil it’s hard to watch.
- I wish Brinky would start talking. And I wonder if I should be more worried about it than I am. We’re trying to limit pacifier time, and I think that should help him be more verbal in general. But I’d like him to be verbal in the form of WORDS and talking, not SCREAMING and SQUEALING. That’s not cool.
- I’m starting to think this whole PTA treasurer thing is going to take a lot more time than I expected this year. But I like being more involved in the school, so I think I’m going to enjoy it overall.
- Back to school is on my mind often. How will Jenny do in middle school? Not academically; I’m not worried about that (I say right now – I’ll worry about it later). How will she do with all the changes coming her way? She’s recently been so worried about her weight and her appearance, and I don’t want the meanness of middle school girls to make it worse. She’s beautiful. How will Reagan do in elementary school without her big sister around? Will she like her new teacher?
Isn’t she pretty? (Stealing one of my favorite pictures from my brother’s wedding.)
What’s on your mind? Anything interesting? I realized that what’s on my mind is usually some kind of worry. Except Breaking Bad thoughts. Those aren’t really worries. I mean, they are, but since the show’s not real I shouldn’t waste too much thinking time on them.

All 3 of your children are beautiful and bright (I may be biased a little). Jenny will adjust fine to middle school. She’s got the personality and temperament to adjust well. Will she never have problems? No. But she gets over stuff quickly. Reagan loves school and will be fine without her big sister around. I think she will blossom on her own. Brinkley will talk when he’s ready. Your little brother didn’t talk until he was 18 months old, and then he started talking in complete sentences! Also, like Brinkley, he didn’t need to talk. You and your brother did his talking for him…just like Jenny and Reagan. So, relax and enjoy them!
Thanks, Mom. It’s actually kind of strange the Reagan’s the one I’m least worried about for a change!
When Finn hit two, he was only saying a handful of words and never two words together. Then within a month or so we couldn’t get him to stop talking (and he still hasn’t stopped).
Thanks, Heather. The doctor has told us that boys usually speak later than girls and it’s pretty normal, so I’m not overly concerned, but we would like it if he’d even just say a couple words!
Aw, Katie, they definitely thought about you a lot while we were gone. Sometimes it would just be at the most inopportune moment or in an area where reception was terrible.
And Breaking Bad is so intense. Walt is the most terrible, manipulative person, and Jesse is such a sweetheart. I hope the series has a happy ending for him.
I’m sure they did, and I know it was silly for me to be that upset about it
We definitely talked about you a lot! I think Reagan was actually ready to go home before we got to DC. We did have fun, though. It was a very busy and exciting journey. I think my mom currently feels the same way you were feeling when you wrote this. I don’t call her enough.
I think it was more that they didn’t even sound like they wanted to talk to me when I did manage to get them on the phone that bothered me. But I am glad everyone had fun!
