All righty then…

I got the impression that some of you have been wondering what’s up with the posting frequency, or infrequency as the case may be, here at the bearing blog.

Time to make excuses! Or, rather, an excuse. The fifth of its kind!

An excuse which should show up, oh, around mid-January 2014, but which is already making itself — I mean, himself or herself — plenty evident around here.

Pass the saltines and ginger tea.

And maybe a little later, the champagne!

How did the kids take it, you ask?

  • The 12-year-old: I knew something was up when you kept skipping dinner.
  • The 9-year-old: I thought you were starting to look fat!
  • The 6-year-old: Mama, I’m so proud of you!
  • The 3-year-old: New babies can drink cow milk, you know.

I have some time to work on that last one. Meanwhilllllllzzzzzzz…….

    No problem eating protein, at least in form of eggs, cheese, and plain yogurt. Worry not. The saltine intake has risen, however.

  15. Congratulations! I am one week out of the land of pregnancy–which is still hard to wrap my mind around–and I agree the six year old’s response is the best. I’ll add what my girls tell me when I was hugging the toilet, be brave!
