Laughter

I love both my son's laughter.

Sometimes I laugh to keep the madness away.

Happy Birthday!

Today is my first-born's birthday!!
He turns two today! I'm so grateful to be given the opportunity to raise someone such as him. And I'm astounded at how fast the time has gone.

I baked him a chocolate cake, using condensed milk. Which is great because I have several cans of milk I wasn't sure what to do with. (There were several sales and coupons). The recipe I used was  on the website:

Paid Research Studies

When I put in my resignation letter, I started to panic. Even though I was about to do what I've always wanted, which was to be a Stay-At-Home Mom, I was worried about not bringing home a paycheck. I've never had high earning power, but at least I was bringing home something. I thought about applying for paid research studies, which I went to occasionally before kids. But folks who run those rarely appreciate small children, which means I'd need a sitter. Which would make it hard. So now I've decided to focus on freebies and writing contests.

La Fitness

As my sister said
"La Fitness is ridiculously persistent. Hence the year contract."
They called me to let me know I could come in for Friends and Family day. They have childcare available. And they have yoga classes available. I agreed to whatever she was offering. But then I thought about the daycare, such as it is...and I don't have time to check it out beforehand. So I cancelled.

We haven't left the house in a while. My oldest is getting good at helping me with laundry.

Tired Yoga

Sometimes I feel like I might be to lazy to have kids. My house isn't the cleanest, and we are often late. I was so tired from about 6pm till 7:30pm. I couldn't focus on my kid's block games. I feel really guilty about it.

Doing actual yoga while my kids are awake is near impossible. But hilarious.

Showers of Mashed Potatos

I gave my youngest some mashed potatoes for dinner tonight. He kind of liked them. Then he had 8 ounces of formula, then I nursed him! We also took a shower together. Just for a few minutes. I had to take a shower because he spit up on me. In the shower, he kind of gasped, but he seemed to like it.

It's supposed to be in the negatives and/or single digits with wind advisories and winter storm watches. I had plans to leave the house, but after knowing that, we might not!

New Year's Day!

Happy New Year's Day!

I dyed my hair today, while my hubs watched the kids. And he complained how long it took.

I got my youngest down about an hour ago and I'm afraid he'll wake up as soon as I try to sleep.
