Excuuuuuuse Me

So I've just been reprimanded by a member of the blogging community because it's May 18th and my only post in May is three words long.

The thing is, I promised basement pictures. But I haven't taken any. You see, the camera is upstairs. The basement is downstairs. And I'm tired.

We aren't putting up much drywall these days anyway.

Ben started his night shift today. He'll work five days a week from 6:00pm to 7:00am. And in an effort to make his weekends family friendly, we decided to tweak our family's bedtime. The plan was to have long daily afternoon siestas and then a midnight bedtime. The plan didn't work for two of us. The baby can't stay asleep longer than an hour in the middle of the day. And J. ended up being late for school. (R. and S. were awake at 7:00am, but I didn't have the heart to wake up poor J.) Come to think of it, the tweaked bedtime didn't work for three of us. When babies wake up, their lucky moms get to wake up too.

So basically, I'm too tired to take pictures of the basement. Not just the basement though. I thought about taking pictures of C. under what she's nicknamed "The Bugga Bugga Tree" (a blossom-covered apple tree humming with "Bugga Bugga" bees). Gorgeous white blossoms, darling, awe-struck baby, but again, no pictures. Probably because we were outside and the camera is inside. Does your picture-taking go in bursts? I'm good about taking lots of pictures sometimes and other times I go weeks without taking any!
