MIA

Too much to say, without the patience to say it.

I haven't wrote anything in what feels like months. I know it's been a couple since my last blog, but that's not all that is on hold. The story I have been trying to finish, and is so close to hitting that point, has been pushed aside once again. Possibly from the fear of it being rejected, even if I am the only one who ever reads it in its completed form. Or possibly just from the knowledge that I will actually be completed something that has meant so much to me.

I've been hit a few times over the last few months with things I'd love to rant about. But who wants to read that really? One of which is pregnant women smoking, or smoking in the vehicle with children. Both of which I know are quite common. Personal issues I have that I could talk about forever. Moving on.

My latest thing is my 4 y/o's Humidifier. We bought a Vicks Warm Mist Vaporizer (I believe is what it is described as) for her room, and turned it on if ever she was congested or had a cold. Now, I always check on her before bed (and throughout the night if I wake up - I am one of those moms), but it worries me what may of happened if we hadn't checked on her that night. Upon entering her room, we smelled the overwhelming odor of burning plastic. Yup, her humidifier was attempting to burn. It was unplugged, dumped and she was moved from her room for a couple nights until it fully aired out. I finally called to complain. They offered me a new, updated one. Nice offer, not happening. Never will I plug one in in my house. I would panic all night wondering if my child was going to be harmed by a vaporizer starting on fire. She's all stuffed up now, and I'm searching for ideas to help her be less congested in the mornings.

I guess that's a little rant, but it needed to be shared.

I do have exciting news though! We are expecting baby number 2. B is going to be 5 tomorrow, and she is over-the-moon excited to be a big sister this fall. I have been ridiculously lucky too with how I am feeling. I know too many pregnant women right now who can not escape the dreaded morning sickness, regardless of how far along they are. I'm thinking that someone, somewhere is making up for the mess and stress we went through when B came into this world. At least, that's what I am telling myself. (knock on wood that it stays this way)

I'm going to TRY to blog more. Like I said, LOTS to say, I just need to say it.
