Funny, when I started this blog about a year ago I planned to write primarily about how I keep my life in balance. Haha. Hahahahaha, that's a good one. I am not feeling particularly balanced at the moment. I am afflicted by a touch of the crazies and a smidge of the crabbies. I am working too much. I am stressing too much. I am getting hooked needlessly by too many little dramas. It's possible that Jack thinks my work laptop is just another one of Mommy's appendages, because it seems to be by my side most of the time these days.
Something's gotta give. This is not the first time I've written such a post, come back to this little touchstone and admitted that I'm feeling like a bit of a wreck. And that's always a good start, right? Admitting out loud that I'm OUT! OF! BALANCE! is usually the first step to getting back to where I want to be.

Luckily Jack continues to keep me laughing. Even with the occasional moment of terrible two-ness, he is the light of my little life, and being around him reminds me I don't have lots of room to complain.
A few gems from this evening:
- I mentioned in a recent post that I often mis-hear song lyrics. Tonight I was singing Beyonce's Single Ladies (Glen's fault -- he downloaded it!) and soon Jack started singing back to me: "All the single babies, all the single babies..."
- When I asked him if he was enjoying his chocolate milk he responded: "Thumbs up!"
- When Jack uses his potty he sometimes gets a lollipop. Tonight's bedtime story showed a cartoon lion licking a lollipop, which perplexed poor Jack for obvious reasons: "The lion doesn't get a lollipop! He didn't weewee in the potty! He doesn't have a penis!"
