Updated my front page

I’ve been meaning to do that for awhile now, just being lazy, I guess.  I had some noter telling me that at 4, Sydni was too young to be telling she talked too much, and I’m like, four, where did you get that?  And then I realized… the FRONT page.  Okay, time for an update.   I realized this morning, laying in bed, that talking is NOT Syd’s problem.  It’s more lack of self control.  It’s time to start teaching her to think before she says or does anything. 

Well, we’re getting ready for breakfast, so I guess I’ll get going.  I didn’t sleep very well last night, had a hard time getting comfortable, not sure what I should do about that.  I’m a side sleeper, which works in my favor, but it’s said to sleep on your left side, and I’m not totally comfortable doing that constantly, I have to switch sides, which makes me worryy about the baby… but honestly, I slept like this with Shabree, and she’s fine.  So I probably shouldn’t worry, but I tend to worry about everything when it comes to down to the pregnnacy.  My hormones don’t help any.  Lack of sleep isn’t going to be helpful, either.

I thought about everyone’s notes, but honestly, I think that if people are going to be rude, that’s fine, but they need to sign their note so I have the opportuntiy to respond.  I’m not interested in starting any flame wars, but truthfully, I do think that if you’re going to be rude, you need to own up to it.
And no, Syd is NOT going to be scarred for life by her name… I just don’t get all these people who insist on telling me her name is ugly.  It’s really not, it’s just unusual… it’s funny, because I wasn’t keen on her name either, but being the step mom gives me little control over certain things, including how her mother names her.  I don’t think Jerry had much control over it either.  And like anything, you get used to things, and somehow, the name fits Syd.

I’d better get going.  Jerry got a phone call though, so it’ll be a bit.  Oh, guess not, he’s off the phone.  I’d really better go.

so i stumbled across your diary the other day on the front page (the shopping at Joann’s entry caught my eye, I shop there a lot too, though I’m a knitter, not a scrapbooker). and feel compelled to just add my own 2 cents… take it or leave it, no offense intended. my mom had that “think about what you say” conversation around that age, and I just didn’t speak much from then on. I can’t…

remember exactly what she said, but I thought for years that anything I said wasn’t important enough to be said, and was practically mute for almost a decade. It led to me being painfully shy as a teenager… so not fun. I guess I’m just sore that I didn’t have the ability to develop vocal skills… *shrug* in the end, it’s a whole new world and you’re not my family 🙂 just sayin’ is all…

ps- I’m definitely not shy now 🙂
