i can never think of a title.

i generally sit down to update my blog having no idea what i am going to update it with. it just seems to me that the day to day happenings are so trivial and that there should be more substance... on the other hand, it makes a nice record to keep track of some of the little things that occur and would otherwise be forgotten. i am extremely out of practice with my writing and need to brush up a bit in the vocabulary department. it seems that every year i live in this armpit of hell, the intelligent words that have seeped into my brain are being sucked out. i rarely find opportunities to use decent sized words in daily conversation outside of home and close friends. (and even at home, there's a lot of 2 1/2 year old conversations, which can be intelligent, just not full of great vocabulary.) i have been volunteering with the imperial county breastfeeding coalition and attending regular meeting. this has provided some great brain stimulation over the past few months. although this has come at a price of doing a lot of planning for the worlds largest baby shower. the event was last week and it was a success! i also presented a piece on "babywearing" and was nervous as hell!!! it's been many, many, many, many moons since i last spoke in front of so many people. (hundreds!) also, this fall, i am anticipating joining the early care and education council as a member and hope to keep on my toes with regards to my loss of intellectual stimulation over the years. i guess i just need to go back to school, but that would require a lot of money, which no one has these days. it would also require a lot of time which i am lacking as well. i don't see where i will fit in between raising twins, keeping up with the house, trying to become a la leche league leader, and preparing to take a lactation educator course... did i mention all this is while trying to get a non-profit child care and family resource center up and running?? whew, i guess i'm a bit ambitious.
