easter

Hi everyone!

I hope u all had a great easter!  I did.  First I did my first 5km race on saturday morning while my mom watched the boys.  Than we had a turkey dinner which was really yummy and complete with pie!  Sunday is when the bunny comes and he went all out!  Paul got toys and slippers pjs and chocolate.  Daniel got two outfits slippers and a stuffed bunny.  They did pretty well!!!!  We didn't do anything too exciting sunday but watched a marathon of Big bang theory on tv.  It rocked! I love that show!

My next goal is to do a 10k race.  It involves chocolate somehow but I'm pretty excited about it. It's at the end of august so I figure that's lots of time to get prepared to do it!  I'm kinda liking this stuff...it gives me a break from my kids and it's also really healthy for me!  So win-win.

My website is doing okay.  Still haven't made any money from it yet, but I did do some advertising and I believe they are sending like 120 visitors to my site an hour so that's pretty cool.  Probably will take about 3.5 days...so I'm hoping that I can start making some money soon!!!

I am really liking being on maternity leave!  I don't wanna go back to work.  Luckily, I still have 7 months left of it!  :)

that's it for now.  :)

                                                                        

                                                                                                                                    Hi everyone!  So today I am just hanging out with my boys at home.  Tomorrow Chris has the day off because of easter so that rocks!  I like having him home.  He is such a good father it's incredible!  Sometimes even I'm almost jelous about the kind of dad he is.  lol  But all things aside it's nice having the help when he's home.  :)  Their money came in so today so we are going to go to walmart.  this is weird.  I have no idea why this thing is being so weird!  It's hard to write...I wonder if it is going to save this way too?  What a weird blog thing!  Anyways, every month when their 'baby bonus' thing comes in, we always go to walmart to spend their money for everything they need for the month.  Diapers, clothes etc.  This month we also have to get easter stuff!  (as the bunny must come).  lol  Paul is at an age now that he is going to really like this so we had better get easter baskets and things.  He's 4 almost (in june) so he's going to understand.  I'm pretty excited about it.  I think Daniel will just get formula and maybe an outfit for easter as he's a baby.  I want to get Paul a bunny but otherwise, I think maybe an outfit, pjs or a truck would be sufficient.  lol  anyways that is all for now!

hmmm

I wonder if anyone reads this anymore....

Not much is happening around here...visited with my work friend this morning. We had coffee.  It was nice to get out, especially with easter just around the corner and everything. 

cool news.

                                  Hi all. 
Well, I am down 39 pounds since giving birth to my second child!!!  It's crazy how well I am doing!  I am very pleased that I'm finally dropping some weight...it seems this last month I haven't done very well, but it seems to be getting better now.  :)  I'm keeping track of my food and my exercise on http://www.myfitnesspal.com/.  it's an amazing site and I really LOVE it!!!!

It really makes me stop and think about what I'm going to eat and sometimes I even decide it's not worth it...like muffins..for example.  lol  It does take some advanced planning though to know what I am going to have for certain meals so I have something to work around. 

Anyways, this weekend I am doing my very first 5km walk for a local organization.  I'm looking forward to it.  My mom is coming down to watch the boys while Chris and I do it!  It's very exciting!  Than we are making our easter turkey dinner.  My sister is even coming down to do the walk with me.  Isn't that great?  We are really close, she and I.  Being that we don't see each other all that much, it's a big deal whenever we do get together.  :)

Well that is all for now.  Leave a note if u like.

                                                                                                                                 

Hi there!

Long time no write.  So much has happened since I last wrote!  I have another little boy, whom we named Daniel.  He was born just before christmas this past year and he's almost 4 months old already!  So as a result of my having two boys, I decided to start a website working with amazon.com.  It's been really fun so far.  It is called,  http://www.miracleofsons.com/ if you are interested in checking it out.  The idea behind it is that it has everything anyone would want for their little boy, either as a son, or just a special boy in their lives.  We offer things from toddlerhood to teenagehood. 

Anyways, I hope there are people still reading this!!!!

tattoos

Hi World,

So, i am getting my tattoo done! I am so excited! It's one I have wanted for quite some time. Basically here is a pic of what I am working with...okay, so it won't let me do it...anyways, basically it says, "paul" "june 4" and has his chinese zodiac sign in between. It's really nice. I feel like paul deserves to have his own tattoo.

:)

Hopefully I can get a pic on here when it's done. I'm very excited about it. i will keep u posted.

finally got my password

Hi.

totally forgot my password for this thing...so now I have it all straightened out. Things have been good. Paul is 2 now. He's walking, talking somewhat and getting into everything. He's wonderful and I am so blessed to have him in my life. :)

So on other news, we have been ttc our second child for over a year now with no success. I'm not really upset about it...I am not even 100% sure I want another child...I mean, okay, I know that I *do* want another one someday, I'm just not sure if *now* is the right time, u know? I'm not sure if I'm really a good mom anyways..I mean I don't interact with Paul every second of his waking day and I don't get on the floor all time and play with him. Truth be told...I don't get on the floor with him more than maybe once per day for a half hour or so at most. I know my son is a happy go lucky little man and I love him to death. But I am not sure I can actually handle two kids 3 years apart basically, and be okay by myself. It's not like Chris will be home any more than he already is...so it's going to be upto me basically to do this on my own. I'm not sure I can do it...and do it well.

Then there are days that I want three kids....and think I can do it.

I know that when I get pregnant it will be the right time and things will fall into place. I just don't want to do something I might regret, one way or another. I'm not sure I can afford another child....and what about attention....I don't know I will be able to give our second child as much attention as our first, and I know that by having two, our second child won't have the same kind of one on one attenion that paul got in her first years of life like her big brother got...and I already feel guilty about that...and I don't even have her yet.

Plus, girls are way harder to raise than boys.....I dunno.

any thoughts?????
