Just a thought or two

I was blog hopping just now. It's always the same
thing. "My boys", "cute girls", "We did this today",
you know.... the usual bloggy stuff.

The thought struck me, as I was reading a post about
my friends' daughters, that having a family is glorious!
Nothing makes me happier than watching my kids
grow up, make good decisions, and be good to each
other.

I sometimes gripe and moan about certain things
the kids do (like insisting on yelling at me when I'm on the
phone....every time). But I would never change a thing.

There have been times I've struggled with the fact that I
had to put a few things aside in order to be a mom but God
has been so good to me. He's shaped and molded me into
something better than anything I could have imagined.
And so to reiterate, I would never change a thing. I love
my husband. I love my children. And I love the things
I'm learning about myself.

dirty hacker

Well, today was not the coolest day I've ever had I
must say. I finally got my life back though.....sort of.

Many of you probably got a strange grammatically
challenged email from me this morning. Something
about me being stranded in London with no money.
Kudos to you all for seeing through this Nigerian schmuck!
(Did you know you can view the history of your gmail goings on?)
Any way, he totally gained control of my google account, changed
my password, and wreaked havoc! Buildings burning,
rain pouring, children crying (mostly me), you know...havoc! Ahem.

Do you know how hard it is to re-claim an
email account? It's rough! They asked me questions like: "what
date was this account set up? Who sent you a gmail invite? what is
their email address?" How the heck am I supposed to know?!
I can't remember what I ate for breakfast this morning! oie!

The sad thing is that he erased all of my contacts....sooo
if you're brave and wouldn't mind, I'd really like some friends
back. Thank you thank you.

Yo Gabba crack



When Yo Gabba Gabba came to nick jr. I vowed I would
never let my kids participate. How annoying is that crazy
show......well, I may have changed my mind. My baby is
sitting in front of the t.v. freaking out! I think it's like some
sort of baby crack.

Only a little bit each day....I swear.

Okay, so here's the status on my getting in shape and
cloth diapers.

I'm doing body for life....with the exception of 2 weeks in
which I had a melt down of sorts. It's working and I'm
starting to see results. (do you feel solicited yet!)

As with the cloth diapers, it's a yes. I've made a few and
bought 2 so, technically I have enough for one day..........
I should probably make some more huh? I've also decided
that I'm going to market them and you know what? James
is pretty supportive of this hair brained idea.

So that's my life as of late. Wish me luck on the diet-y thing.
It's hard to not eat buttery things. sigh

excuses and crazy ramblings



I've gotten somewhat lazy with my blog. I've been
tossing around the idea of combining my two blogs
so that I'm not so neglectful....I don't know. Just a
thought. I've also been in the throws of potty training
a 2 year old that thinks pooping in the toilet is not an
option. I've tried all sorts of bribes.....I'm afraid I'll just
have to resign myself to a LOT of cleaning for awhile.
There have been a couple of life changing decisions on
my mind as well.....nothing terrible, just life changing.
Like: whether or not to cloth diaper, and getting in shape!

The getting in shape thing is underway as of Saturday.
So I guess I can stop deciding about that one. The cloth
diapering on the other hand is still at large on my mind.
eww gross you may say, but I have a very dear friend that
simply loves it.....and I'm tired of spending so much on
diapers. It's not so much that I'm green.....just cheap!
I'll probably tell all when I decide to give that idea the
green light. DH isn't very enthusiastic about this particular
idea of mine. I guess he'll just have to deal with it! I'm sure

he'll still love me, right? right? Say it!

Well maybe he'll just admire my guts of steel.
Either way I'm good.
