Seven things I cannot do:
1. Decide if I want another baby or not

Aha! I'm not gone...
I bet you guys thought that I had given up on updating again. Ha! You people are so wrong about me! I came back just to prove you wrong. I can be a real meanie that way.
So, what's going on? Nothing. Hehehe. Yes, that is my answer for everything. Just give me a few minutes of typing and I probably will realize I have tons more going on than I thought. That usually always happens and when I'm finished, I'm like, "What the hell? Where did this awesomely long entry come from??"
The Wee One still has an ear infection in his right ear so we are going through round two of antibiotics. Augmentin this time I believe. Other than a cold, having 4 shots (one being the flu shot which he'll have to follow up with a second on in a month) and having a vial of blood drawn to check for anemia, and having tripped and hit the corner of his eye between the lid and brow where he instantly was bruised and swollen, he's doing peachy keen. When they say children are resilliant, they really mean it. He's been crabby at times but you would almost never know he had an ear infection or went through a terrible ordeal with all those shots. His nose is a fountain of icky stuff and his cough is congested but he runs around this house laughing most of the time.
The hunk has had his two days off and we enjoyed having him home. It's such an event when Daddy is home. Mommy is happier and less stressed so kids are calmer and happier which makes Daddy think that the kids are just angels all the time *mutter*. They love having him home and for two days are attached to him at the hip which gives my hips a much needed break. Everything isn't always roses when he's home as sometimes I feel like I have three children instead of two but for the most part, I really, really look forward to his days off.
How's the weight loss going you ask? I don't know. I took the weekend and first half of the week off from exercise but I picked it back up today. You can check my progress over at Skinny Bitches. I just put up a long post.
I suppose that is all I have to update with. No foreseeable future plans except my doctor's appointment on the 29th. You know, I see people with little "Upcoming events" lists on their layout and they cross off the dates as they happen but I would never have anything to add to my list. *sniff* I'd have a little lonely and blank upcoming events.
Hmm, got off on a tangent there. Anyway, time for a shower!
Toodles bon ami!

Getting settled in
I've been trying to think of what I wanted my next entry to be but I'm coming up short on ideas. I could probably go into the day-to-day stuff of the Kidlet doing well in school, being able to read simple books on his own, and rattling off math facts like crazy. He amazes me.
The Wee One is starting to rattle off words. He's talking in babbles 98% of the time and I don't understand him but every once in a while he'll mimic, "Daddy's at work", "That's a ball", "There's a ball", "book", "daddy/mama", and of course, "no". They aren't perfect by any means but it is what I think he's saying. He occasionally says car as gog and Grandma as "na-mah". He will not eat. Pretty much anything I put infront of him is something he doesn't like except mac and cheese and I can only handle so much of that. I keep trying to introduce foods to him, if he doesn't like it, come back a few weeks later. But so far he's a smart cookie and gives me the look of, "I wouldn't eat that the first time, you think I'm going to do different now?" About the only thing he eats without question is saltine crackers and milk.
The Hunk is doing fabulously at his job and he's still loving it. He's learning a lot and he and his boss get along really well. He's the startup supervisor for ****** department which he's happy with because he's only been working there for 6 mo. and that position usually is for people who have been there a while. It's not a promotion in terms of pay, technically it is just a latteral move but the fact that he's trusted to be there feels like a promotion to him. He's also happy that his hours will change. He'll be working more from 3 to midnight instead of getting home anywhere from 3-6 a.m. The drawback to this new position is that he won't be picking up the Kidlet from the bus in the afternoons. This means that he'll only see him for 10-30 minutes in the mornings, be gone before the Kidlet comes home and come home after the Kidlet has gone to bed, for five of seven days of the week. He's pretty unhappy about that as he misses us and the kids enough as it is.
As for me? I'm doing ok. My coughing is improving finally. I've worked out 3 days in a row and my muscles have the attitude to prove it. I've been drinking so much water I think that I'm growing gills. It just tastes so good to me. We are pretty much going through warm front after warm front and the temperatures are about to gob ack up into the 70's again through the weekend. The house gets warm and I get thirsty. Nothing quenches thirst like cold water.
Michele- So good to see you again! The Hello Kitty layout rocked and I had it for probably more than half a year. There were other HK layouts by the designer but I couldn't decide on a second one because I had loved the first so much. I nearly went with a little shopping HK though! I'm sure we'll be seeing more of that little kitty in the future.
Stacy- I lost your email. I'm dying to know if you had the twins or not yet. If you are still reading, please email me or comment or something so I can get a hold of you!
I got three new movies from Netflix that I'm excited to watch (Mr. & Mrs. Smith, Monster-in-law, Batman Begins) so I think I'm going to head off and do that.
Later gators!

Finally a new layout...
I can tell you that it was not easy changing the Hello Kitty layout. I love that cute, simple, white cat so much. Usually I'm one to change layouts fairly regularly but some how that HK design just made me happy.
Alas, though, a new year felt like I should have some sort of new layout. Change. Clean slate. It's all very zen and smart sounding if you think about it. I just wanted to have something new to look at since I'm going to attempt to start journaling more frequently. At least more than every other month. That's for sure!
What's new with me? I'd like to say a lot but there really isn't anything. How boring is that? Nearly two months of no updates and I have nothing to say. Well ask yourself, why the no updates? Maybe... because there isn't anything. I don't mind though. If I had a busy, chaotic, exciting life, chances are I'd be too busy to update then too. So either way, this works.
The hunk is still loving his job as a loading supervisor at a logistics warehouse. He comes home in a good mood all the time. It's been nice. That aspect of it anyway. It sucks that he works graveyards and I really feel like I'm stuck here with the kids 24/7 with no help. At times, it is overwhelming.
I went to the doctor's for a cough I have had sinec moses was around, and I got put on medication for asthma and medication for high blood pressure. You know, it was only a cough when I went IN to the doctor's and suddenly I come out worse than when I went in! I hate that. I'm scheduled for a phyiscal on Jan 29th or somewhere around there and I'm just scared to death of what I'm going to hear. Foul words like morbidly obese, diabetes, high cholesterol, lose weight...
I've heard them before and I'm working on the weight so I guess it will be useful to know where I stand and to see how far I have come in 1 year from physical to physical.
I hope you like the new layout even if the cyan boxes between each entry aren't supposed to be there and I can't figure out how to make them disappear. Type at ya later!

Merry Christmas
I know it's been forever. We never ended up moving into the house. It came down to dogs. Long story. I've been ok, just without my computer and things just don't feel like home without my own hard drive. Hehe.
I hope everyone has a very Merry Christmas! And a great Holiday Season.
Stay safe!
