Well it looks like I just can't keep up a blog anymore! Too busy running errands, kids to school or volunteering at school, playgroup things, swapping babysitting or whatever it is in the current week! I do keep up my family blog, so if I know you, I will email you when I update that. Farewell to the blogging world for now! Maybe when the long winter months set in, I will have more time....I

I can't believe September is over!! I haven't blogged I think for a whole month. Actually I've been doing a lot of cleaning & household upkeep. I've learned its better to wake up with a clean kitchen, then a dirty one. So I'm trying to keep an empty sink, and picked up living room & playroom, making ALL the beds in the house, etc, etc.! My social life is booming with my playdates & MNO.

Tyler has become a big climber. First it was the couch, which I was okay with, since he would fall on carpeting. And he has a few times and survived. He then moved on to the rocking chair, which he flipped backwards. Now it's the dining room chairs and a bench. What do you do with dining room chairs and a bench? I had to move the bench (which is an old pew from a church) downstairs to the

How in the world does THIS HAPPEN? How could any mother forget her child in the backseat of her car, go to work and LEAVE the child in 100 degree heat???? I'm sure inside the car it was over 120 degrees. HOW? I can't even wrap my mind around it and my heart is so sad for this poor child who had to endure such a cruel death! I couldn't fall asleep last night thinking of this poor child :(

that Nicholas will spend going to school ALL day. He is no longer completely mine...he has become part of a community that I have no control over. For 8 hours a day I don't get to see my baby!!! I remember the first time I ever saw him, how little and alien-like he was. Now he is off to make his part in the world, to learn, to become somebody. I'm sad! I'll never have him in my house all the time

Things I will miss: Sleeping in until whenever Tyler wakes up.Lazy, laidback mornings. Going to the local waterpark.Having a free schedule to do whatever we wish.Seeing Nicholas (well, give me a few weeks of all day school)Tyler at age one, walking, babbling, peekaboo, bringing me odd things, waving bye-bye with both hands, getting his shoes to go bye-bye etc, etc.I am happy for summer to be over

I can't believe it's only a week before school starts! Nicholas has all his school supplies and his backpack ready. If only it would come sooner! I'm a little worried about how he will do ALL day...how frustrated and tired he will become with more pressure on him. How much crying he will do. This year I need to be a little more on top of his IEP goals, and am thinking we already need to

I'm becoming a wine drinker. Every week Friday hits and all I look forward to is having a glass of wine in the evening and sitting on the porch...or what I'm doing now, catching up on blogs. It makes motherhood melt away along with the anxiety my children make me feel all day long. They could be setting the house on fire, and as long as I've had one glass of wine, well I'm all good :)It makes

The past few days have been frustrating with these kids. I don't know if it PMS starting or what. Nicholas and karate aren't going very well. His instructors are great, but every week they change what the are teaching and how they are teaching. Last night he got thrown into a class with the yellow belts, who know what they are doing. Well forget it, Nicholas gave up right away. He was

Alex is just killing me. He has become more difficult over the past week. I guess he is just testing the waters again. The thing that I don't get is that I follow through with everything and I always mean what I say. Aaron, not so much. Maybe that is where it comes from...he is testing both of us trying to figure it out. On Sunday the boys decided to take beer bottles and throw them on the

Oh I miss my blog. I never get a chance to get down to the computer room to do anything on the computer anymore. I'm devoting my morning time (while the kids are in school) to losing the baby weight. I've made a commitment to work out 4 days a week at least 30 minutes. I've been walking on the nice days with Tyler in the stroller, doing Pilates, and starting to conquer Tae-Bo. Tae-Bo is very

I've almost forgotten I have my OWN blog! I have had NO time to do anything on the computer. I feel like I've bitten off more than I can chew at times. But it is SO nice to be busy. I think the first part of the school year I was going nuts by being home all the time. Now I WISH I could just have a day where I didn't leave the house. But I'd rather have it this way. No time for thinking,

Again, I have been up since 2:30, with Tyler, he is asleep and I can't fall back to sleep. He is working on his top teeth, so I assume that is why he has been up for two hours tonight. I try to let him cry himself back to sleep, but one can only listen to that for so long in the middle of the night. He finally passed out in our bed, and got put back in his. I love my little baby, but at times

Over the years I've had people ask on occasion how I am so patient and how do I let things just roll of my back. I just do, and I have my whole adult life. After watching today's Oprah, it totally explained my way of thinking. This is how I think and live. I have been this way since I was 17. I remember some key moments in my life that have shaped it into today. There was a day I decided I wasn't

I've been SO done with my kids lately. Every ounce of patience I have has been gone. It's been going on for about a month now. Everything I have to do with them has become a chore that I really don't enjoy. Mostly because I am destracted with getting my new family blog up in running. Learning how to do that takes a lot of time, and patience. There has been nothing left for the kids. I get

You know I think I've only taken three or four naps since Tyler was born. I just have learned to cope without them. And the ONE day I prepare to have a nap, the kids are being quiet and good in their playroom, and I have the baby asleep, I get in my bed, close to be asleep and I hear Tyler start crying. WHY? I give up today. I'm a big crank and I don't want kids right now!

I miss my sleep!!! I am SO ready for a full night sleep EVERY night. Not every once in awhile. Tyler has slept throught the night a handful of times. And when he does I'm more tired than I am when I wake up twice a night. Tonight/this morning, he woke up at 1AM then at 4AM. Then he thought he would just be up. So I put him in his crib to cry himself back to sleep. I don't know what else

Then: I remember when Nicholas first started crawling we had everything in the house removed that he could hurt himself on. We had baby gates up and doors closed. There was no way anything bad was going to happen to him. And if it did I felt like the worst mom in the world.Now: Tyler hits his head on everything, legs of chairs, the rocking chair, a baby gate even fell on him one day. My

It was really nice to get out of the house for MNO! We went to Carraba's, and Italian restaurant. The food was AWESOME! Especially the bread - isn't it always! The company was nice. The ladies in the group seem to be very welcoming and nice. It's just going to take some time to develope new relationships again. It seems since I joined the group my calander has been booked up.

So I had to join a new playgroup. The one I am/was running has fizzled out because of school, kids getting older and people working. I do miss my old friends, but have to make new ones to keep my sanity. The one I joined is great! Its one big group with group events, and then seperate playgroups each week for the age of your kids. Something I would have never been able to do as a playgroup

I wish it was a law in every state that you could not smoke in your car or home if you have young children. I see people ALL the time smoking with children in their car and it sickens me. I remember as a child making fun of other kids for smelling like smoke. It's not fair and I truly believe it's a form of child abuse. Your child can't even choose if wants to be around it or not. And he

Well we were able to make it up for the funeral. It was nice to be there for support and to visit with the family. Aaron is so lucky to have suck a great extended family (and I am too now)! I'm still so sad for Tillie (great grandma to the boys). She is a wonderful woman and I had an awesome time talking and hearing her stories.

I just got a call about an hour ago from my MIL. Her father passed away while eating lunch today. He was 93 years old! Amazing he lived so long, and so sad he passed away. I was so taken back and surprised I didn't know what to say to her. I feel awful and almost sick. I can't imagine what it must feel like, and I really can't imagine what her mother must feel like.

Trying a new layout and working on a new scheme. Bare with me! I'm making all the images and editing the CSS myself. It's a learning process!Tyler is now on baby food morning and night. It's getting a bit easier and he isn't making such a mess anymore. Don't get me wrong he still is messy! He got his first tooth last week and his second one two days later. He is much happier now!

Life is always full of surprises. You can choose to let the surprises take you down or you can choose to accept them and live your life happily. I'm so sick of things getting "people" down. You can either accept things and say, "well I'll take care of it the best I can", and have a good day or you can walk around grumpy your whole life when unexpected things happen.

You know I really dislike starting baby food! I've been trying really hard everyday to feed Tyler baby food for breakfast and dinner. You would think it wouldn't be that hard, but for me it's the most unenjoyable thing during the baby years. Just the beginning of solid feeding is no fun, when the baby is learning how to eat. Babies stick their hands in their mouths, they spit it at you and

So you know how they say after hanging around another woman a lot can cause you both to have the same cycles. Well who would have known it can happen to males?! Yes, my boys have fallen into a poop sync. They ALL poop on the same day. I noticed this with Nicholas and Alex a year ago, thinking nothing of it then. But then to have a baby do the same thing as his older brothers! Now that is

You never want to play favorites with your kids, but it is just so hard when you have a baby in the house. And let me tell you babies are MUCH, MUCH easier to take care of then a mouthy three year old, or my new and improved opinionated four year old.Tyler makes me so happy everyday. With his big dimply smile, his gorgeous big blue eyes, and his little ears that stick out, he melts my heart every

You go from one thing to another without finishing the first thing. Mostly it's housework that doesn't always get completed, like laundry day. That is no more, it's laundry day EVERYDAY. And I'm

My "Half done" lifeI'm so sick of only getting half a job done! I just want to accomplish ONE thing, but instead only half of what I'm doing gets done. Laundry, half done - folded on couch...dishes half done - waiting on the kids couch to be put away...half way unpacked from the trip to my moms and the list continues like this everyday.

Sorry it's been so long since I've blogged! I've been super busy trying to get some normal back in my life and things seem to finally have settled down. My hormone levels have calmed down and I feel like I'm myself again.

Here are the stats & pictures of TylerI was induced Wednesday and delivered Thursday evening. It was a pretty easy delivery, besides the laying in bed and waiting around. Of course the hospital stay wasn't long enough, but we are home and doing well. Tyler sleeps a lot and is pretty laid back so far. We have the nursing down and are hoping to get out of the house next week...as soon as my

Hopefully this is my last day or two with this belly!!! I SOOOOO am looking forward to bending over and being more mobile again! I'm so scared the Dr. is going to say nevermind, we aren't going to induce you anymore. I'm sure that WON'T happen since he's having me come in 3 days earlier than my normal appt. I just hope I can get my epi before I really feel the pain, and I hope that it doesn't

I'm being induced on Tuesday, either with cervidil or pitocin if I'm dilated. YEAH!!! The end is so close. I'm getting a little sad that this is my last one, AND I won't have as much time to enjoy the baby like I did my older two. I can't imagine how non-stop my life is about to get with these boys! Hopefully I can get up in running in a few weeks. I don't see why not, besides the lack of

Then last week he missed a day because

I will never understand why people get so upset & angry over things they have no control over. Like road rage, or not getting what they asked for from a fast food chain - which is why I'm writing this post. This is my life with my husband on a weekly basis. And I can't say I help much, because on most occasions when he asks me to get him something, I forget. Me being pregnant doesn't help his

Only 4 weeks and 3 days to go. I can't believe how fast this pregnancy has gone. I'm "trying" to enjoy it, but it is getting really hard! Everything I do hurts my back. I can take a shower and my lower back hurts. I'm sure gaining as much weight as I do doesn't help either. So I won't sit and complain any more, but know that this is the LAST time I ever do this again!I'm starting to wonder

Here is my 32 week shot:I finally finished the babies room...well the painting at least! With SOME help from hubby, he did the walls I did most of the trim, because he had NO patience for it. I guess when he taped off the trim white would run up on the walls. Meaning he wasn't sticking the tape down to the wall well enough, and it wasn't "perfect" in his eyes. I didn't have this problem. I went

I don't know how I'm going to make it through the summer with these boys! I'm getting my first taste right now and I predict it won't be fun! The fighting starts right when I get out of bed and just doesn't end until they are asleep. Every time they try to play someone is mad or frustrated and does something mean to the other one. I just don't know how to make them get along and I'm not sure

Alex WorldTake a trip into Alex world, where no matter what mommy says or does he continues to nag and beg and be totally disrespectful to what I say to him. No answer is good enough if it isn't the answer he wants to hear. It all started two days ago. He didn't want to eat whatever I offered him, only popsicles, ice cream or cakes. Things I don't feed him on an every day basis. So he goes

Finally we are on the count down to D-day. I am trying to enjoy the last pregnancy, which is very hard! I know once the baby gets here I will hate how fast he will grow. We decided on the first name Tyler, but might not be using Zachary as a middle, instead Jay seems to go better. So Tyler Jay is his name right now. I've finally given in and bought a few baby clothes and blankets. We don't

Three times NOT a charmOkay, bad title, but we are having another boy! He is healthy and measuring two days bigger than expected, so basically he is doing good. I gained 10lbs this time around L So depressing! Hopefully I can control the weight gain from now on. I know I'm eating more because of the heartburn. Seems nothing takes it away for long. Maybe I just need to try some new things.

Eating Habits... Today I realized my kids never eat the same thing for lunch anymore. It used to be I could fix whatever (chicken nuggets, spaghetti o's, sandwiches) and both were satisfied. But Alex has turned into this control freak. If it's not his way it's no way at all. So now I have to ask him what he wants, and it is never the same as Nicholas. Plus they both have such different

I got an email from another mother using Flickr, that my sons picture was posted on a message board with a peeing & pooping subject. I immediately took down my Flickr photos, so there are no more links to him. It was a picture of my son with his hand near his privates looking like he had to go potty. So now I won't be sharing any public pictures through Flickr. I also made my blog private on

Well we have to wait 4 more weeks for the u/s. Bummer! I'll have my appt & my u/s on the same day. I'm so eager to find out and dying to start working on the babies room. I really wish I could paint, because it would make it easier to get done. Instead I have to push hubby into doing it. I think we might just remove the purple carpet and live with the wood floors with paint all over them,

Wow what a difference a bra can make! Today my mission was to find a bra that FITS me. I've been wearing old ones from my previous pregnancy that are old and stretched out. The horrible thing is, are my boobs grow so much when I'm pregnant then some more when I'm nursing. So I have to buy two different sets of bras when I have babies. You know it's nearly impossible to find a bra in F, G or

Not too much to blog about...I feel the baby kicking already. I must have missed those first flutters, it's full blown kicks, nudges and wiggles. I started feeling things around 16 weeks and questioning it, but now I know for sure it's baby. There really IS one in there! I'm just dying to find out the sex....waiting is NOT for me. I could never be the person who waited till the delivery room

All is once again quiet around here. My MIL came for a three day weekend and flew back yesterday afternoon. It's so depressing once she leaves. I feel SO alone and sad. I get so down once she leaves because I realize my kids don't have any family close for them to see regularly. Once every six months just sucks! But I guess it's better than nothing, like I had!She is such a big help around

Sorry it's been so long. I've been stuck in my lazy chair watching episodes of A Baby Story and Unsolved Mysteries all day. Plus I'm on a Scrabble kick, and just ordered boggle & yahtzee on ebay. It's better than doing housework! My back & sciatic nerve are already bothering me. It started when I carried a computer upstairs. It made me realize I can't do stuff like that anymore! This week

I'm so fucking irritated. The last four nights my kids have woken me up for either wetting the bed or for losing a toy in the middle of the night. And every night I get woken up I can't ever fall back to sleep. Even if it's two in the morning, forget it. I won't sleep for the rest of the night. Hence why I"m up blogging at 6AM. I've been up since 4, with twenty thousand things on my mind.

The morning last week, I never got around to posting....So about 3AM I wake up to the electricity turning off and quickly coming back on. I thought I heard something, so before I can peacefully fall back asleep I turn on the baby monitor to listen to the kids. I hear "OHHHHH" and think Nicholas is sleep talking. So I sneak downstairs to find him awake and has discovered the tooth fairy has

Today's dentist appt. went GREAT! Nicholas was so sedated he laid in the chair with his eyes closed, and was done in 30 minutes. I didn't even have to stay with him while they removed his tooth. The dentist seemed calmer this time, and was glad I brought in info on his skin disease. He was concerned he might have to take BOTH top teeth! He said if there was and space in the "good" tooth they

I think all of my major pregnancy symptoms have all of a sudden disappeared. No nausea or terrible moods. It's like one day they just disappeared. I still get really lazy if I sit around, but if I get up in the morning and get moving, I tend to not feel tired through the day. The only obvious sign right now are my breasts are still tender, and if I move too fast by turning my body in bed I

Can I complain....just ONCE?Okay my own perfection is driving me insane. All I see is mess around my house, and it bothers me every time I pass it but there is no motivation to do anything about it. It's like everything that I used to do I have no interest or energy in doing it. The only thing that motivates me now is food. I have been cooking for two weeks straight. I've been motivated to

Bring on the MAN hormones So besides sickness running through the house the past few weeks, my husband has decided he is mad at me for some reason. More like he is having mood swings instead of me. I couldn't figure it out until last night. It has to do with the lack of sex. Going from it happening all the time to nothing must be a big shock for him. As you know it men need oxygen, water,

I came down with my first sickness of the season yesterday. Bad body aches and a really bad sore throat. Medication seems to help, but my lower back ache won't go away. I think my tonsils are the size of golf balls!!! And on top of that I am pregnant finally. About 6 weeks along, and yes VERY early. I sit and worry about miscarriage all day and every time I go to the bathroom I expect there

So I've been a bad blogger the past few months. I guess because I have SO much going on, I have no time to sit and write about little things that happen in my life or little thoughts. My sister finally defended herself to me and settled any anger I had towards her situation. It is her life and she comes across as in full control and in love. So be it. I can let go of the terrible life I

Pink EyeIt's running through the house for the first time. Nicholas brought it home from school last week. He did great putting in the drops and it cleared up in a day after I started the drops. Alex started showing signs yesterday, so I started putting Nicholas' drops in and put off calling the doctor. After a little research, they say that is a bad idea since the drops are contaminated. So

Okay I'm trying to get back into the daily grind now. Vacations are over, school has started and we are back into a routine. Nicholas started his new school two weeks ago and has had no problems from day one. He even gets to ride a REAL school bus everyday! Everyday he comes home and tells me about things he has done...last year he usually didn't know what to tell me. So that has gone

Well things have settled down. I'm finally hanging pictures and feeling like I have a home again. The water in the basement was a minor problem. We cleaned out the pipe and the water back up was fixed! Hopefully there are no more water issues in the basement! We got the bathroom finished and it looks wonderful! I tiled the floors with those sticky tiles from home depot and they look great!

I'm flipping out this morning! This morning hubby wakes me up to tell me the floor is wet in the basement right by the basement drain (which is carpeted over). So I had to get up and see how wet....not a huge area, about the size of the drain is soaked. I've soaked it up with a towel and it doesn't smell. I can't figure out why water came up through it. We have been using the downstairs

Okay so it was negative. I'm normally VERY on time and was 3 days late so I was really hoping. It must have been all the stress of moving & buying the house. We will keep on trying! Oh the joys :) I have about three boxes left to unpack and we can be box free again! Now it's getting it all organized so the house doesn't look all cluttered. I hate clutter.

So far things are good and we have our stuff moved in. Putting it away and getting organized could take months! I never realized all the stuff we had because it was all so organized and put away. And I just got my old place the way I liked it. I know this will take years! I can't wait to start painting and to remove the wallpaper in the bathroom. I HAD to take down the shower doors in the

The BIG Day!Today we close on the house, and I'm so freaking nervous! I did the walk through yesterday and with all their stuff out realized how much work we have to do to make it look better. The house has good bones, but just needs some minor updates and color. Plus PINK and PURPLE carpet in the upstairs rooms. The good news is there is hardwood under them.

So we have the house and all the negotiations are settled! We close on July 28th and move in on the 30th! The inspection went well and nothing MAJOR is wrong with the house besides it needing a new electrical panel and to be re-treated for termites. It doesn't have termites but the barrier was broken when a new driveway was installed and new landscaping. Both are being taken care of by the

Holy crap, we actually found a house we LIKE! It's above our price range, but since we started this whole process (two months ago) hubby got NICE raise and we are paying off a loan, so we can afford MORE. We put a low bid on it knowing we could afford it at a certain price. But now the loan officer has to update all our finances because it's been so long since we did it. So we have no idea if

Who gives people the right to stand at an intersection selling candy and crap? I have never understood why this isn't illegal. I purposely avoid one intersection in my city (if possible) so I don't have to be harassed by these people.

End of the MonthWow, what a month! My sister was in town for a week, then my MIL. I got a lot of house hunting done, but haven't found a house yet. Now with no built-in sitters it will be a little harder to go looking at houses. Hopefully we can just do it on the weekends when hubby is home so we can all go. Some of these houses have so much clutter it's hard to look past it all. Hubby is

A Glimpse of Alex....As I'm sitting in a chair holding Alex while he drinks his morning milk, he turns to me and says "Mommy you go do dishes and I will play with my pee-pee." I almost peed my pants it was so funny! And he said it exactly like that! Usually every morning he sits in a chair, chugs his milk and has a hand down his diaper. It's a routine at this point.

Along with LOTS of bathroom trips sitting on the toilet yelling downstairs at the kids for fighting. It

Asleep in bed because he worked his second job last night until 2AM. I can't get the bitterness of it out of my head this morning. (My period is really doing a number on me this month!) I'm bitter, but then I feel guilty of being better, is that

I'm so worn down and stressed I could explode! Okay I have exploded plenty in the past few days, which is not me at all. It usually means I need time away or my period is coming. Right now it could be both. I need time away because both kids have hand foot and mouth virus, my husband has been out of town 4 times in a month & a half, and was just out of town for two days while both kids were

My whole life all I've wanted was an extended family. I had a good mom and stepfather for awhile (along with my step-grandparents), but it's not the same. I was always jealous of friends who had a mom & dad and grandparents who lived near them. Or when the grandma would take them for the weekend or out for ice cream. I was so jealous of those things and have longed for them my whole life. My

Well we are in the process of buying our first home. It's like learning a whole new language, but I'm doing my research and learning quickly. The hard part is finding a big enough home within our budget. We HAVE to have 3 bedrooms, a garage and a basement. Plus I'm hoping to find one with a 4th bedroom, family room, den or finished basement so we have a play room/rec room for the kids. I'm

So my poor neglected husband got a bug up his butt and really started pursuing his car (Honda s2000) yesterday, and by golly they approved a loan for him! They rolled my car loan into his and we now own my Audi! I can't even mention they car payment we have now, because it freaks me out every time I think of it....but it's do-able. I hate paying lots of money for things like cars and rent.

Sorry for not updating lately. Between playdates, Nicholas appointments, scrapbooking and keeping the house there is just too little time for journaling. My website is lagging behind too. So if you keep checking here for any update (and I know I don't have a HUGE following), it will probably stay like this until I have something to bitch about or get off my chest. Or winter comes :)We have a

Now I've seen it all...first the antibacterial tissues and now a damn PEN, a pen. Next thing I know we will have antibacterial clothes and furniture! Paper Mate Antibacterial Pen A Paper Mate classic rejuvenated…. NOW with Anti-Bacterial pen protection (Anti-Bacterial technology is designed to protect the pen's surface and does not extend protection to skin)

I keep meaning to write a little. We have been so busy lately. I'm trying to get Alex socialized more by going to the library story-times and just signed him up for TeeterTots, an hour gym program once a week. We went for the first time yesterday and he wouldn't participate at all. He clung to me and after about 30 minutes it turned to tears and him saying, Can we go home now. Of course as

This morning as I'm brushing the kids teeth & getting Nicholas ready for school, hubby rolls over in bed and asks me if I will throw his work pants in the dryer. OKAY....like I'm not doing anything here? Do I want to walk into the cold as basement, two floors down to dry YOUR work pants? HELL NO! I was a little polite and just said no...but it kind of ticked me off. Well I'd like to lay in

I know I shouldn't even waste my time writing about this, but today I'm still really pissed about it still. And that means I need to get it off my chest. We all got a cold starting last weekend. Regardless Nicholas went to school all week and improved with time. Friday comes along and I decide to take the kids (and their coughs) to the bookstore for story time. Knowing they had a cough I

I am starting to take Alex to story time each week while Nicholas is in school. It's at 10:15AM and Nicholas get out of school at 11, they bus get to our house about 11:20. So the past two weeks I have just picked Nicholas up from school. Yesterday I left the library a little early and went into Nicholas class 15 minutes early to find TWO other moms there. Man did I feel BAD! One mom even

I totally am freaking myself out right now. I just put Nicholas on a bus with a different bus driver today, a man instead of a women and the brother of our regular bus driver (so he said). I didn't even question it...I put him in the van and walked in the house. THEN I started thinking, what if's. What if this guy took this van and is kidnapping the kids. My mind is going a mile a minute.

So this morning as I'm trying to wake up and brush my teeth, Alex walks in to the bathroom and lets the loudest fart. (Yes that is what we call it around here...it's a harsh word and the kids won't let me change it. Alex tells me "NO mom it's not a toot it's a FART!") So after that Alex giggles and says "I'm gonna fart on you MOM, I'm gonna fart on you!" Teasing & taunting me. He turns his

Okay this morning I'm convinced I'm having flashbacks. SURPRISED? Well I wasn't the perfect child growing up and I dropped acid a lot. I quit when I was 17, but for about a year I did it. Right now my peripheral vision is all wavy and my hands feel really funny like I'm tripping again. It's almost like my hands aren't there and I can't see right. I've always just shrugged it off thinking

Major Change Today hubby & I tackled switching rooms with Nicholas. Then we decided to stick both boys in one room and make the small bedroom our computer room. Which means the computer is UPSTAIRS and not in the dining room anymore....it will be a little bit harder to be on the thing when it isn't in my face luring me to it! LOL! The change is nice. Our bed fits better in the other room &

So I've been a little concerned that Nicholas won't be going into kindergarten next year. I feel like it's my fault because if I would have just gotten him tested earlier he would have been in the program at 3. I really think he is so smart he will get bored in preschool. But I guess as long as it's challenging for him he won't be bored right?! I am worried because he is about the size of a 6

I had a nice time at my moms last weekend. It was very relaxing only having to take care of myself. And I hate to say it, but I did get a little bored!!! Shhhh, don't tell hubby. I really didn't have any shopping to do, so all I did was catch up with my mom & Ralph and sister Alex. We went out for dinner and saw a movie. My mom and I went through all our old photos, which was fun. They

Please never leave me again!!! My 10 month old computer died on me Saturday...it was tragic and there were tears. What am I going to do with NO computer???? I called HP and got someone who I could hardly understand, which can be extremely frustrating when you want to know how to fix the problem. I made it through the call and a replacement part was on its way to my house, but not until

I'm feeling so guilty lately with the kids. This came on especially strong after I watched Dr. Phil yesterday. They had someone write in about their addiction to the computer and how it was making them neglect their children. I don't feel like I'm neglecting my children or my house but I do feel like I'm not giving them everything I could. They are always feed, dressed, and bathed on a

Well we've made it through Christmas and we all had a good one this year! The kids got all the toys they wanted & I wanted for them. A kitchen, vacuum, little people airport, electronic reading systems and the Leapster. The big hit has been the kitchen & the vacuum. The boys fight over the darn vacuum ALL the time. It's crazy! Nicholas loves the leapster and played learning games all

I swear my husband is worse than a woman sometimes!!!! It's been snowing NON-stop today. We probably have about 8 inches so far. So I called him to have him call his son Daniel and try to work out visitation AGAIN - LONG story there. Anyway he says "I think I'm not coming home tonight, or it might be really late." Okay, why??? "Its gonna take me so long to get home." (He works about 6

You know hubby and I got into the ONGOING battle of sex again the other day. While I was showering I was just recalling his comment "you know it doesn't even feel like we are married, it's like we are roommates or brother & sister." He has said this a few other times and I have shrugged it off. But as I think about it, it really ticks me off. Am I responsible for him feeling this way - NO -

I think these two video clips of Alex (our two year old) qualify us! Forget all the work I did making those treats for Nicholas class on Monday, this cancels that out!!! Warning bad language and don't pee your pants! Turn your volume down if kids are around or you are at work!!!!! It's a zip file, so save to your computer, do a virus scan and play! Saying Damn it...I think God is in there
