back from the whatever

Well, I lost a few months there--nothing worse than starting a post, saving it as a draft, and then finding it a few weeks later, trying to update it, and giving up. So, I'm now just going to publish, even if it is half-hearted and half finished.
To update, oldest turned 4, found out we're going to have a 3rd baby, thanksgiving, Christmas, new year, oldest started preschool, youngest turned 2, and we all have really bad colds. Yep, that's pretty much up to the minute.
I'm currently tuning out the new updated 'blue's room.' I have to say, they had to do something to that horrid show to make it worth tivo-ing. Blue now has a little brother and Joe is on there with them. I was telling my husband how that every kids show that is trying to save itself from Sunday morning 5 am slotting writes in a little brother or little sister or twins (one of each). He was shocked, then I started showing him through the years how this has helped (0r hurt) different shows. I can't remember very many of them anymore (hard for brain to function while being shoved out of the way by my sinuses), but even Dora got a brother and sister set (which she, at 6 or 7, carries in a double sling--yeah, right). Anyway, it can't hurt Blue's Room to get her new baby brother, Sprinkles. And, is it just me, or does anyone else notice that Donovan Patton is gaining weight? I know I shouldn't care, but I'm worried that his girlfriend broke up with him or something. It could be a happy thing like when Michael Shanks (aka Daniel Jackson, SG-1) started gaining weight when he got married and his wife got pregnant. I'm slightly embarrassed that I care enough to write it out. But, I guess with baby 3 on the way, I'll spend at least 5-6 more years knowing more about kids' performers than grown-up tv stars. Oh, and speaking of, what about Greg Page! Really made me feel sorry for the yellow wiggle.
OK, that's enough for now. Must stop now.
