It has begun...

Today was Josh's first day of basketball practice. I kind of think of basketball season like having a newborn baby. You know that the season will pass quickly and you will enjoy the result (hopefully a winning season and players influenced by a Christian man), but when you are in it (i.e. up at 3 in the morning with a screaming baby) it's sometimes hard to see the big picture. Josh got home about 7:30 tonight, we ate dinner, put the kids to bed, and cleaned the kitchen. (We stayed home from church because Bonnie has a yucky nose.) Saturdays are spoken for until January at the earliest. I once again made Josh promise that he would find another career the second he either wasn't making a difference or having fun (this promise-making is a yearly tradition).

So, if you see a little less of me or hear from me a little less, I'm still here. I'm probably at a basketball game with Kellen and Bonnie, or trying to put them both to bed by myself (I don't have this one perfected yet -- any advice is welcome).

Also, I'm curious: who is still reading my blog? I don't get many comments (of course, I don't comment on other peoples' very much because I usually read through Bloglines) but I'd love to hear from you if you're reading this.

I'm here!

I'm here too...and non-commenting blog "lurkers" are a pet peeve of mine. I love Google Reader, but I do try to pop into friends sites "for real" and leave comments because they always brighten MY day.

BTW, I'm right there with you on the "yucky nose"...Norah hasn't been to class in over a week. I hate for her to miss so much, but she has been SIICK and I don't want to share this with anyone! Hope Bonnie feels better soon, and good luck adjusting to your "new baby".

I love reading your blog Erin. I try to comment, but sometimes I dont read for a several days and have more than one to catch up on so it seems too late to comment. Anyway, its a fun way to hear about whats going on with my friends since I dont see any of you often enough!
And I hope this season is full of wins!

I'm here... I just like to know that I'm not the only one with a "boy" (if you know what I mean).

And, no advice for putting the kids down by yourself - I have to do it a lot and it's no fun!

Dear "Fishing for comments,"

I read your blog.

Stephanie said...

I'm here. I don't always leave comments because I read on my way to go out the door. Like right now I need to go and get Thomas from school. Hope Bonnie feels better.

Stacy Yoakum, by the way. I can't figure out how to link my name to our website. Blogger doesn't allow that anymore? Anyway, it's hard to keep up with yall all the time, but I enjoy it when I get to.

You're on my list of "favorites" that I obsessively check daily :)

I always love to read your blog - I'm just the worst commenter ever. My blog was down FOREVER but Matt finally got it to where I can post again (but it is still not pretty yet!)

I read it! Good stories, too. I just try to restrain my commentary, because you know how bad I am about offering advice when none has been requested.
Love,
Dad
