WELCOME to my blog!!

It has been approximately 2 years since I regularly updated, but recently I began missing my blogging. I have gone against "the rules of blogging" by simply naming my blog "Bridget's Ramblings". It goes against the rules because you are supposed to choose one topic that you are passionate about and write about it. Well, it just so happens that I become passionate about anything that piques my interest at any given point in time. My husband once told me my hobby is finding new hobbies.....I can't deny it!! However, I will say that my kids--currently ages 11, 8, 6, and 4--will always be a major topic you can expect to read about. Beyond the kids, my current secondary interests include running and biking....gardening will most likely be the next topic to grab my attention. But, the one thing you can count on is that I will undoubtedly ramble on about whatever I find interesting.

Thursday, August 16

We are back from the beach. I just can't seem to remember to update this often often as I had "planned" to. What's new, right? :) The last several days have just been quite busy. There's always the unpacking and settling back in after vacation.

When we got home Saturday night Kaeli had a voice mail from her "very best friend in the whole world"-Amanda. They called earlier in the week to invite Kaeli to her birthday party. The party was on Monday and though it was very last minute we HAD to go. Fortunately, Cheri-the mom-didn't mind that I had to bring my whole crew. All the kids had a great time and I'm so glad we were able to go. Amanda is moving to West Virginia in a week so it was also a very, very sad goodbye.

One funny thing about the party. One of the moms asks me "so do you find having 4 kids to be easy or hard?" Ummmmmm......did she seriously ask me that question? I was tempted to say I thought it was incredibly easy and that I was planning to have 4 more. HAHA!!

Yesterday I had to do the lovely "prep" for a colonoscopy. Let me just say I'm quite happy that is over with! Being on a liquid diet all day when you still have to feed the minions is no easy task. I will admit my patience was GONE by the end of the day. Oh, and I thought the liquid diet was the hard part. Little did I know the "ocean water" (as one friend termed it) I had to drink would be absolutely disgusting! I've heard people say prepping for a colonoscopy wasn't that bad.....well, I have to disagree. I have to admit-I ended up not drinking the last 16 oz. I seriously couldn't bring myself to drink another drop. But, I survived and am now DONE with the procedure. No abnormal findings! Hmmmmm.....I guess that means I just have irritable bowel syndrome. I've heard it can be brought on by stress so I guess that's not unreasonable. I always have to laugh when Dr's, etc ask if I'm under any unusual amounts of stress. I don't quite know how to answer. Well, of course I'm under stress. Wouldn't you be if you had 4 kids under age 7?

Oh, and to celebrate the fact that I can eat as much as I want today.....I'm having large amounts of pizza for dinner and maybe even a beer or two. :)

I promise I'll be adding pictures sooooooonnnnnn!!!!
