six word saturday

Here we go again. It's Saturday and I only have six words to describe my life as of right now.

Christmas shopping. Angel Baby. Happy Katie!

I'm going to be babysitting Angel Baby today! :D:D:D And also, while I'm in the city (so sad, I live in some tiny town {23,000. some ppl don't consider that small, but that's midwesterners for you} with almost no shopping options) I'm going to do some Christmas shopping.

It's actually really late at night, or early in the morning, whichever way you want to look at it. I don't feel very good and I know I should sleep, but I just don't want to for some reason. My body hurts and I feel like if I get in bed, I'll feel worse. Hopefully it's gone by tomorrow, because I really don't want to miss out on spending time with my amor!

Have a great Saturday bloggy friends! I'm sending a shoutout and a big hug to Raine from True Confessions of a Single Mother. I hope today is going better for you!

I'm an auntie!!!

So, I have been slow on the post lately, but partially because my nephew, whom I will now refer to as "Angel Baby" and maybe I will later come up with a better name, was born. He was a 9-11 baby, but we will not hold that against him. Maybe it was a bad day before, but now it's a good one, too.

His poor mother spendt days waiting for him to come, walking up and down stairs, and being turned out of the hospital 3 times (after the third time, her water broke as they walked in the door to return home)! But all is well with Angel Baby and SIL and even my older brother. (Although he is very possesive with the baby. Gosh, Daddy, give someone else a turn to hold him!) The child was apparently very comfortable in his former surroundings, since her labor lasted more than 2 days dilated 5 cm or more... He even came out holding on to his umbelical cord, as if to say "NOOOO, I don't want to come out!!!"

Anyway, he is the most adorable creature ever (until my children are born, of course) and I am thrilled to be an auntie. I don't know what else to say. I love that little guy!
