O, Glorious Day!

I feel like I just broke the tape at the end of my first marathon (okay, who am I kidding, 5k). This NaBloPoMo was way harder than last year for obvious reasons. When I started it I was pretty sure I would drop out in the first week. And I almost did. Then I broke into the shoe closet and it was okay.

I'd like to thank Matthew who was kind enough to humor me with this quixotic (he might replace the "quix" with "idi") quest and do baby duty most nights when I needed to get a post up. (Right now he is badgering me to go to sleep as he has done every night. Bless him.) And I'd like to thank Willa, who by some miracle chose the hours between 10 and 12 to have a sleepy spell almost every night. Lastly, but not leastly, I'd like to thank every person that stopped by to see what I'd pulled out of my a** every day. And an extra-special thank you for the comments. I usually try to respond to comments but it was impossible this time. Please know that your comments make my day. Really. I get all giddy.

I'm going to try to keep posting regularly but certainly no more of this daily nonsense. Now, off to sleep. And then to wake up to beautiful, wonderful December. But before I go, one more baby pic of Willa. This is a good visual of how I feel right now. Yippee!

Oh, lookit what you pulled out of your a** today. A baby! Wait. That's not where babies come from.

Hooray! You'd win for most hardcore participant even if you'd typed in "duh" every day, but you actually had some of my fave Letter B posts ever. I loved the one sentence ones the best!

Now, let's go see if we won any toaster ovens.

And congratulations to YOU, madam. Gracefully done, with the one-handed posting.

Congratulations for staying the course! Was the cute baby one of the NaBloPoMo prizes?

We love reading your blogs and do so every day- you bring us smiles, sometimes near- tears, often hoots of laughter, and sometimes "OMG I cannot believe she wrote that... All wonderful. Thank you!

Yay for you! As a fellow mom of a newborn with an older kid, too, I am really really really impressed (and my big boy goes to preschool five days a week!) You totally rock, and I've been enjoying reading when I get the chance to get online.

Love the picture. Hope you're having as much fun with your wee daughter as I am with mine. (And it sounds like you are...)

Love the pic of Willa. And the latkes. We had good ones too. Today is one of our favorite days - the last day of Hanukkah. We just love seeing the menorah fully illuminated. Hope your whole family has a happy holiday and a great 2008. Fred's recovering well from his hip replacement and two cataract operations, all since Oct 1. Things are nearly back to normal. Lisa's doing very well also. We were in Sacramento for a week over Thanksgiving and had a great time.
