New Year, new babies, new loves

Oh long neglected blog - it's not that I don't love you, it's just that I have loved another more.
These last few months (okay, more than a few months) have been busy, first with Martha Stewarting my way through the holidays and then with caring for my new babies.

    Now before you start spreading unfounded rumours, these are not human babies of my womb (and let me just say that though I love children and babies - thank goodness I am not talking about babies of my womb) .  To which, I must also add : far be it for me to test the God of Abraham and Isaac - who I readily acknowledge  is a God of miracles,  and who in His good and perfect will, allowed Abraham and my namesake to bring forth a human life from 100 and 90 year old bodies respectively- by saying that it could not happen to me. Certainly, I am not beyond having babies in my womb, and I choose not to challenge the will of God, however, I am glad -in this time- that is not the case.
 
    With that lengthy pre-amble and disclaimer- I will confess that I have spent these last few months, conceiving, nuturing and bringing to reality my figurative babies in the forms of my daughter's 3rd birthday party and my sister's baby shower.
 
  Allow me to digress on this small tangent by saying that I am SOOO ecstatic that there is going to be another baby in the family that is not mine! I will enjoy that newborn goodness and still get a good night's rest. I am SO EXCITED!!!!
 
 Now back to the topic at hand. While I realize that this will make me sound certifiable I ask to keep in mind (before you commit me) that boredom combined with the annual January/ February blahs do not sit well with me. They tend to stir up certain depressive and melancholic tendencies in me that don't show my best side.
As such, I determined to drive them away with keeping busy with things that make me happy (well SOME of the things that make me happy). Paper, crafting and dreaming up fabulous parties!!!
 I have determined not only to dream up and host these parties, but to make most if not all of the decorations by hand. This has left me up to my elbows in projects. Paper and glue are taking over the house!
I am in bliss!
Granted,I have taken on a lot. But I have found that I am the kind of person who does better when busy. Pull your hair out, exhausted by the end of the day busy... so alas. Here I am.
Tomorrow, I will post some pictures and give you all a sneak preview of what is to come.
Call me crazy but I cannot be idle. In between planning Sunday school lessons, and my highschool girl's biblestudy HOUSEgroup sessions, running my home daycare as well as  living life in general with my 3 kidlets and a very patient and tolerant husband - I have taken on these mountainous (is that a word.... I don't think it's a word... ) projects!!!
 It might also be important to note that these parties happen with a week of each other during March, at which time my mother-in-law will also be staying with us while we try to find her a permanent residence here in Ontario for the first time in 14 years.
 If I'm not dead by then, I'll be sure to put up pictures of my triumphs or very great defeats.

Hopefully, I can also find time to write less verbose and more linear threads of thought in this blog at a more decent hour.
So long for now, fellow bloggers, readers and one follower.  (Come on people, if you read this become a follower already, pump my ego up a little bit) :)
Crazy, tired, happy, paper decorations lady - signing off.
