In Answer to Ann's Post

or....

major de ja vue (is that spelled correctly?)

I thought, "Where have I seen that?"

Here it is:

But with a smile in 1981

and this is what was on Ann's post

but with a cry in 2010

I remember taking that picture of Ann - because she learned to pull up very early but walked late - and would crawl to me and I'd be anchored by her, unless I picked her up - so I wanted to remember that image of looking down so much and seeing her expecting me to pick her up.  I didn't want to forget that.

and my house was also a mess.

In fact today it needs a lot of attention and I don't have babies holding onto my legs.  I'm just not very motivated.

I don't have pictures for this one, but this morning I talked with Laura Beth who is rather sleepy.  Laura Beth, who really did keep me up, even into her 3's - and now John is testing her limits.

I think Scott is sleepy today, too - which is scary when both parents are losing sleep.  Who is gonna stay sane? 

Well - there we are - history always repeats itself, over and over and over.(because if you'll look to the right, there I am on Mother's hip - but the weather was warm and looks like she was getting out of the house)
