Two Jobs, Two kids, Two sports.... TOOO Much

Just so you know.... I am still alive!!! barely.... quite honestly I have been MIA more since starting the blog, than I have been blogging.... I think I am certainly at the 1 yr mark as I remember barely getting this blog initiated before heading off on vacation last year. So for year two I plan & hope to do a lot more blogging! & since I mention all the two's in my life currently, just thought I would let you know that CHANGE is in the air... because I QUIT! :o)

Yes, that's right! I am proud to say that I have quit ONE of the TWO jobs!! (Good bye BC) & I am sooo excited!!! I look forward to rejoining life with my famly & friends!! I can't wait to play in the yard & go for a bike ride with the boys, sit in the living room at night & read books or watch a movie or just cuddle up with them in bed when they want me too! Oh yeah & having lunch dates with friends! It's the little things that we take for granted & these are just a few on the MANY things I have missed over the past 2 yrs.

I have 1 more week of my notice & then a week of vacation! I CANT Wait!!! I'm am not sure how the bills will be paid but I have peace that it will all work out! We will learn to live with the things we NEED & not so much with every little thing we want! :o) (Logan even said he really didn't need any more toys from Wal-Mart! AWWWW, I was not kidding when I said he was my thoughtful sweet one! & that right there gives me PEACE that it will all work out!)

So, I will catch everyone up with what's been going on in our lives upon my return... like Spring Soccer & TBall in which Logan totally ROCKED at both! Logan's K-5 graduation (tear jerker)! Seth's 3rd Birthday! Seth's graduated to talking in full sentences & 90% potty trained!!! Where I am with my weight loss journey & new life plan! Summer plans & lazy days! Oh I can't wait! be back soon with lots of beach pics & a bit of regained sanity!!!! Until then.....

New Look....

So a whole new look... the other was a bit tired, this one was created by me.. thanks to a fellow blogger post located HERE. So I have been super busy with the kids being home for Spring Break, nothing note worthy, just good old family time! Everything is in full bloom which I love but my allergies do NOT. I have been plaqued with Sinus headaches this week which has also led to too much down time.ughhh

Too Cute for Words....

Happy Birthday, Logan!

Today my "Big Guy" turned 6... I am having a really hard time grasping the fact that he is actually 6, but here are some of the clues that he has given me to show me just how much he has grown up!...

1- when asked what he wanted for his birthday he said... "you just do whatever you think is best, Mommy" Oh yeah, I would like an art set... but other than that just what ever you think.... (really?? no Power Rangers or Transformers, Yikes)

2- when asked if he wanted to go see Elmo when I took "Lil Bit" his reply was...
Logan: NO, Mom. Elmo is Lame
Me: what you used to love Elmo?
Logan: "LAME"
(oh yeah, Thomas, Dora & Deigo?.... all lame)

3- 1 week before his birthday, he states "Mom, I know what I want for my Birthday, I want a phone, an ipod & a basketball game for my PSP2."... Really??, I am sure these things didn't appear on my list of wants (well, the equivalent for the times: JAM Box, phone in my room & Atari) until I was at least 13

4- He is often found watching football, basketball or baseball game instead of watching cartoons (& always pulls for who ever is winning)

5- Did I mention that we just received his cap & gown from school??

6- He goes to the bathroom, shuts the door & LOCKS it... & no longer yells, "Momma" when he's done & heaven forbid, he ever let me in there until all his business is DONE.

7- He can read & even knows the words you are spelling to avoid saying it out loud. "Are you talking about Candy, Mommy?"-- "Can we?? Can we go to McDonald's" --"Can I get a toy if we go to WAL-MART?".... SERIOUSLY??


Every year I often reflect to the day he was born, so I thought I would share here... if you are family I am sorry to bore you with this again but here it goes....
We were married for 10 yrs before we decided to have children & even though I will often be heard talking about life before kids & how great things were, WELL... 6 yrs ago today, is when life all of a sudden had meaning! All wrongs turned right & Our life as a family began! I will never forget that I went in to the hospital on a cold dark morning & when I came home from the hospital all the Bradford pear trees were in full bloom, the grass was turning green & the sun was shinning! I have always loved spring but love it even more now because of this reason! Logan has been such a blessing in every way! In my mind he was a perfect baby (although had you asked me then I am sure I would of told you otherwise)& he taught me how to be a mom! I thank God daily for sending this wonderful blessing into our lives & showing us what true meaning in life means, for "saving" my life in so many ways & giving me the opportunity to experience true unconditional love!

I love you, Logan! More than you can ever imagine! Even more than your "two steps bigger" I hope you have a wonderful Birthday & have lots of fun with your friends!
