NaBloPoMo and a shower

I've been repeatedly begged by my friends to keep a blog. And I've thought it would be a great idea, and a fantastic way for me to share my crazy life with an audience. But I've generally sucked at actually sitting down and writing an entry each day.

And then I came across NaBloPoMo (National Blog Posting Month) - during which the challenge is to post to a blog every day for the month of November. This is much more doable for me than the National Novel writing month, or the No shave November (which, let's face it - I could do... but my husband, who has already been through too much of seeing me at my worst in the past few months, doesn't deserve that particular brand of torture).

So, here I am. Let's see if I'm up to the challenge.

I got to take a shower today. This may seem like a small accomplishment, but first let me say that I hadn't gotten one since SUNDAY, and second - I didn't just get a perfunctory shower, I got a shower during which I had time to actually wash my hair AND shave my legs (take that, No shave November!). L went to school today (as we are considering sending her 3 days a week now instead of just 2), and H was mercifully not attached to my boob for the moment, so I seized the opportunity.

H has been nursing so often, I was thinking he must have had a tapeworm... But it's finally slowing down. I'm not kidding - he would finish nursing, burp, get a diaper change, and immediately start rooting for the boob again. I thought I would lose my mind. He already weighs over 12 pounds! L didn't weigh 12 pounds until she was a year old. And he's not even 2 months old!!

I'm going to tempt fate now and try to have lunch before H wants to nurse again. I may even see what it's like to chew before I swallow AND what food tastes like hot instead of lukewarm or cold.

may the force be with me.
