I'm still here. Scott's visit was fun and I hope he had a relaxing time. He seemed to really enjoy playing with Keegan. I took him to the airport yesterday and thus ended Cotterfest '04.
I am fighting a crappy summer cold that has been lurking for weeks. Although honestly I have felt like I been fighting something for months. Upon reflection I think I've been tired for over seven months. Do you ever feel rested agin after having kids? I start the days off slow, get some energy in the afternoon and then slow down again around six. I joked with Erika about picking up a drug habit. Something like speed so I could be peppy and also lose weight. Hey, two treats in one. But lets face it I got this far in life without drugs. Besides I am so not a person who likes to be out of control.
This blog is not a fun place for me to go lately. As much as I try to tell myself that I don't write for others, I guess I do. I miss the comments. Where are you? Have I finally succeeded in boring you into oblivion? I hope you're happy. I am now pathetic enough to beg for attention. Wah.
Alisa. 37. New Hampshire. Married for almost three years to this wonderful, funny, smart guy. Previously married. Went through in-vitro fertilization to have my five year old magical son Keegan. Stepmother to the charming Isabelle (6). Gushingly in love with our baby boy Harper(1). Policy Wonk and dreaded bureaucrat. Lover of fine cuisine, honeybees, truly romantic moments and the underdog.
Curried Beef Short Ribs
Note: I found this was more realistically four servings.
Finishing this dish with lime zest and juice brightens its rich flavors.
Yield 6 servings (serving size: about 3 ounces ribs, 2/3 cup rice, and about 2 1/2 tablespoons sauce)
2 teaspoons canola oil

I'm still here. I too have found that less and less people come to my blog everyday. It is a bit depressing. But Magdalena and I still love you! :)
I find in general I am getting less traffic and less comments and people I read seem to be posting less often. Maybe the novelty is wearing off.
I occasionally get some naps on the weekend that makes me feel sorta normal, but most of the time, nope, tired all the time.
It's a blogosphere trend, I think. I too have had fewer readers, but with baby on the way, I've been reading you for added information about the whole baby thing. :)
I saw your photo over at Erika's site, and you guys look awesome! Keegan is one happy little guy!
I'm still here. I still read you every day. Just hectic over here and haven't even really posted on my own lately. I always think about you and Keegan especially if I see a bee. :) I'm scared of them. Don't like getting stung.
I am still reading you Alisa! And don't feel bad, I don't get comments either *pout* As for ever feeling rested after you had kids, Hah! They all sleep through the night but I don't! I finally broke down and told the doc. about my sleeping habits.......Hope it gets better for you soon!
I feel the same way. I think people read the blogs but don't take to comment. I'm guilty! The little time us mothers have makes it harder to comment on every blog we read, right? I have at least 50 that I try to visit a couple times a week. I feel guilty using that much time so I can imagine how much time it would take to comment on each on. Maybe, we can start a new way of commenting so that at least we would know when someone visiting with having to check stats. We could just comment with Hi, was here today" or something to that effect.
Sorry sweetie I am so bad at commenting but I promise I check daily to see if you've written.
Hugs,
I'm only sort of here, but that's all MY fault! Good to catch up with you guys!
I am still here. Saw the pic of Keegan on Erikas site today....Y'all are too precious. :)
I'm here chiming in late. :/
When you were using your previous template, it was hard for me to read your blog because it was like reading white text on white paper or whatever colour it was and I'd have to do something like open up an old browser to read it (I'm using Firefox right now). So, I checked in here today to see that your old layout is back! And I can read it without opening up a new browser or selecting the text! Yay!
Anyway, yes someday you will feel rested...and then you'll make an irrational move like having another child just when you get to finally sleep through the night again... :D
