Complicated

Wow, so this having a blog thing is harder than I thought!  Just finding the time, let alone thinking of a topic, comes with all of it's own set of complications.  Not to mention that all of the blogs that I love are so funny and I have no idea how to write like that!  Does that come with time or do I just suck?? I guess only time will tell....
So, I put together a schedule and that's definitely been helping me to get things done during the day!  I'm still having a hard time getting a work out fit in, but I imagine I'll get there eventually.  I've been very discouraged by the way my body looks but I have to keep reminding myself that it's only been 11 weeks since I GAVE BIRTH. Kind of a big deal...
Omigosh, TG had his checkup and that fat boy weighs 14 pounds, 3 ounces, which is in the 90th percentile!  Unbelievable!  I didn't even know it was possible for my family to have such a big baby!! Ha!  He's also 24 inches long and has a head circumference of 16 inches.  I'm so impressed with him and my boobs ability to create such a robust child!  It was so awful to see him get his immunizations!  His face turned the reddest I've ever seen!  And then he was very, very fussy for the rest of that evening, but was fine in the following days.
Big D has been awesome lately, too!  She's such a smart, funny, responsible kid.  Her choir teacher just nominated her for an award for students that show responsibility or great improvement or any number of things that the teacher thinks is great.  Each teacher can nominate one student per every six weeks.  So, we got to go to the awards ceremony yesterday morning!  It was a lot of fun to see her get recognized for being such a great kid!  So, now she's also working on us to get her a cell phone!  I have a hard time thinking of my 11 year old baby having a cell phone, but she is incredibly responsible and it would be a great benefit for all of us.  The biggest issue is the extra $10 a month that it will cost us.  More discussion must be had.
I keep talking to my husband about what he wants to be referred to as in this blog, but he still hasn't come up with anything!  I keep offering to call him Vanilla Thunder, but he hasn't taken me up on that offer yet.  Ha!
Oh dear, I'm seeing a pair of beautiful blue eyes staring me and my boobs down!  I have a goal of posting more frequently!  Hold me to it!!!

Starting Out

So, here goes. I've said for a couple of years now that when I quit working that I would start my own blog. After loving and reading so many for years now, I guess it's about time I did. I just recently became a stay at home mom after giving birth to my son on August 5th. And that was always the threshold that I gave myself for starting this thing. When I was working, it was always "oh, I'm too busy, I don't have that kind of time" and since Tiny Guy was born it's been "oh, I'm still too busy", so I've decided it's time to quit making excuses! I'm not sure how good it's going to be or if I'll even end up with any followers, but I think this will be a great outlet for me.

I'm sitting here and just having a hell of a time thinking about what I want to write about! I hope that it will get easier the longer I do this. Right now I'm just kind of waiting for Tiny Guy to wake up so that I can feed him.

Tiny Guy (TG) is almost 2 months old now and I just can't believe it. I had such a hard time and struggled with post partum depression after he was born and time moved so slowly then. And now that I'm feeling better, it's just flying! Even the days when I feel like I'm accomplishing almost nothing seem to go so fast. The days when I'm able to get a shower, a nap, AND get some housework done feel like I'm getting so much done! Ha! It's definitely a different mindset. I didn't stay home with my 11 year old daughter, Big D, so I have no experience with this.

OK, I'm going to call this a good first post and be done for now!
