Disney World
2008-05-12 20:00:00
Also keeping me busy/preoocupied is my trip planning for our Disney vacation! I’m so excited but it is time consuming! Sure, we are going to have a great time and could just go and enjoy but I am making sure I’m planning EVERYTHING! I’m doing touring plans and covering all my bases. I’m really happy ...

Glasses?
2008-05-12 19:45:00
I only wear glassses when I have to… after I take my contacts out at night and before I put them back in, in the morning. But, I am wearing them now I’ve been getting major headaches and migraines lately. For the past few days I’ve noticed some blurry vision but kept forgetting to ...

Minor vent of the day (in the grande scheme)
2008-05-01 18:41:00
The last person to use a car should fill up the gas tank if it’s on empty. If that person cannot do that for whatever reason (say, in a hurry to get somewhere else) that person has the responsibility to NOTIFY the other driver of the car who will use it next.  Ex. Today, on my daughters ...

Sick
2008-04-29 05:39:00
Plain and simple…feeling blech. Had a nice weekend, now I’m fighting a cold/allergies. R was so good today, allowing me to rest and basically do nothing. Days like this are frustrating for so many reasons. I’ve had so much hot tea today…lots of different flavors…most with honey. No work out today obviously…argh.

Well, this is what happens when I don’t post for 3 months! My last post about finding my blog was just written today but as you can see it is dated in January…that is because I wrote over my last post from January… oy. Well, it was only about my hubby starting his “biggest loser” ...

Biggest Loser

My husband is becoming such a LOSER! He’s losing weight that is! He started a competition at work at the beginning of the year and is doing really well. I have to say I want to smack him because he’s losing so fast and told me today… “hey, I went down a notch on my ...

So…moving on from that interruption … we had a great holiday season…very busy but lots of fun! We did lots of Christmas-y stuff like taking R to the local holiday things, she talked to Santa THREE times. I don’t think I ever did that when I was little…just once and done. Kids today ...

Noise
2008-01-17 05:31:00
I can’t seem to get anything written lately…not only because of my daughter keeping me busy, but the constant NOISE of my dear husbands crazy shooting games… he really is a nice, normal guy I swear, but the warped games he plays are just annoying when there’s only one room where we can both sit ...

Ugh
2008-01-13 02:37:00
cryptic message about stuff…. why oh why oh why are mother’s the only one’s that can do everything? And we can’t be sick. If we’re sick, we better get well soon. Consistancy gets blown out of the window when Mommy isn’t feeling well. Ugh. It just breaks my heart.

Little Dancing Girl
2007-12-16 04:40:00
I forgot (no surprise) to write about the outing last night except for the fact that we lost R’s hair bow. They shut down the street for a while for a show choir to dance and sing Christmas carols. It was really nice…R loved it…and she got to sit up on Daddy’s shoulders to watch ...

Losing my mind and everything else?

I’ve already accepted that I am a forgetful person. But I’ve been working on it as much as I can, meaning getting as organized as possible. Well, I *thought* I was doing well…making progress. I LOST my parents’ Christmas gift! IN MY HOUSE! I made the gift…tons of time and love put into it…and poof, ...

This weekend we visited my parents and had a nice time visiting a farm with all the fall things to do…except it had been raining all day so almost everything was closed. We had fun, got pictures and pumpkins…looked at strawberry cows. Sunday we went to a Halloween event at the local amusement park. We ...

I?ve just had it!
2007-10-28 05:20:00
See post “Too tired to Cry” from Oct. 2nd and that’s what I’m talking about. Also too sick of writing/thinking/dealing with it so I just can’t right now. Other “normal” activities going on and keeping us busy. My little genius is keeping me going, just honestly, I’ve HAD it!

2007-10-17 06:21:00
So we found R’s costume today! This past weekend we went to a big costume store but they didn’t have what she wanted…Strawberry Shortcake. She really liked a pirate costume we saw there and I loved it, but it was too small. Today, we tried another store… the person who worked there said she didn’t ...

Bon Jovi Rocks SNL
2007-10-14 06:15:00
Ok, so I’m a Jovi Girl through and through. They just rocked out “Lost Highway” but I am feeling for Richie who forgot his line in the opening monologue. Poor guy…thought it was cute anyway. So, it’s 40 min. in to the show. I guess I just enjoy anything Bon Jovi Anyone who knows me could second that.  I’m sad I won’t be able to see them in Jersey in the next month. No $$. But I’ll enjoy tonight. I remember back when I saw them at SNL with a friend…they rocked, didn’t they S? Wish I was there tonight.

My girl
2007-10-14 04:50:00
Just have to glow a bit… she just continues to impress me each day. This past week she wrote her name by herself for fun She’s been writing random letters/numbers by herself for a year but anytime she wrote something like her name or more for a card etc, I would hold her hand steady and help her or as she learned more/got confident…just held her hand as she wrote the letters herself. I didn’t realize she could write so well/so much on her own. I try not to underestimate her since she’s constantly amazing me, but that was a proud moment. I didn’t even ask her to do it…she was just playing. She wrote it on her chalkboard easel. She’s also continuing to add more and more numbers, spell more words and just leave my jaw hanging. She’s hilarious as always, joking, making up jokes, songs and whatever she thinks will make someone smile. I will try to write her quotes down as they come, or from my stockpile. The girl is documented lik...

Time for Halloween!
2007-10-14 04:29:00
Now that the weather is actually getting cooler it’s feeling more like fall and Halloween time. I’ve had my doorstep decorated for a few weeks now, which is early for me. The light-post has fall leaves on it, mums, pumpkins, gourds, hay and even a HUGE scarecrow that we all made together adorn the house. Complete with fall wreath with removable witch and bats and fall leaves on the doormat. So we’ve been ready for fall, it just didn’t arrive till now. A few weeks ago we went to a fall festival with friends…I’ve known this couple for 12 years and they have 2 kids. Their daughter is almost 5 and R had a great time with her. They got along well and J (my friends girl) was a good “big sister” to R. We ate good “fall” food, the girls rode ponies, jumped on a huge bounce thing, decorated potatoes and played in a few playgrounds, sandboxes etc. J’s little brother, also a “J” is one and adorable…sweet, q...

Yum-eeee!!! Got these at the grocery store this afternoon and just popped one open and added the cream after almost smoking my family out of the kitchen! Now that the pots have stopped boiling over and the smoke has cleared, I’m just sitting and waiting for it all to be finished in a few minutes. ...
