We got out today for the first time in 3 days. It was good. We went to the mall, my oldest who is usually the homebody was SOOO excited. We played then she said her stomach is growlling so it is time for lunch. We had lunch, then played with the mechanical cars, then had a cookie--why haven't I lost that weight?? During that cookie break, my oldest brought up the wedding thing again, why she wasn't invited to mine and my husband's wedding, where was she? Was she asleep? All I could say was we got married before she came along. Then she asked when she would be married, is she old enough already? She's only 4, no, she is not old enough maybe when she's 24. AAAgghhh--no more questions...and it's only just begun...

I've also started to read. The last book I read is "The Wedding" by NIcholas Sparks. It was very romantic without all the frills. I want to read "My sister's keeper" next but have to borrow the book from a friend--you know budget and all. Oh, the budget, eek...it has been blown. We are now paying for 2 children to go to a private school twice a week and it has really hit our wallets. And friends, well have none of those either. It is very isolating being a stay at home mom. My husband is my best friend and that's hard because he has to work...I'd like one or two friends whom I can have lunch with, go to the bookstore with, and have fun while our children play.

2 people said they liked my advice about  a post and that made me feel good. Sometimes I guess I am on the right track but a lot of times I know I am not.  I guess we all have insecurities about parenting...I guess that's why we have this website.  I just feel that it is so important cause we are shaping these little people to be productive citizens, what a BIG responsibility that is. I've got to go and get something to eat, my stomach is grumbling...

If you read this,

you know what I look forward to,

a comment from you!!!

Have a great day!

Lately in our lives my 3 yr old is playing soccer, has too many birthday parties to go to, and is expressing herself a lot with clothes.  My 2 yr old wants to do everything her older sister does but add trying to frustrate her older sister. my little one stares at her too much, or wants to touch her when the older one doesn't want to be touched...it's not always like this since they do play together fairly well.  what's going on my life, you ask, well i have tried to work out in the morning before the girls wake up, I have lost a friend for the reason that I do not know (any advice on that?), I am trying to make new friends by joining a moms group, trying to think of a birthday party for my oldest turning 4 in 3 months (any ideas??).

Comments, please, it's better than writing for nobody out there...

I say EEK, because I don't know what I will do with myself. My 2 girls will start school for 2 days out of the week and what will I do for 4 hours without them??? I have scheduled dental appointments but that's no fun.  I think I should take a poll here to find out what you all would do with 8 WHOLE hours to yourself so I can get some ideas...Remember, we are on a $$budget$$ so the sky is NOT the limit..

Today she has done it once.  It's so early I don't know if I should go full force on it or just wait and see if it's just a curiosity phase.  Nonetheless, we are so proud of her and she is of herself as she claps after she does it and I am jumping up and down!
