All my own...

So last night we had company over. It was our friends with their two girls. The kids had fun playing together and us grown-ups enjoyed some much needed conversation and even a glass of wine. But the best thing of all and the main reason for our visit with friends (other than the obvious fun time had by all) was that I got my own laptop!! We bought the laptop from our friend, it was only used a bit and we got it for a good price. Now I do not have to bother my husband all the time to use his and I can load anything I want, anytime I want. Pretty cool, huh?
Oh yeah, for fun I also ordered this laptop skin. It is pink, girly and all mine! And even better is that it is free after rebate from www.slickdeals.net

What "shoe-d" I have done?

OK, so today I put Genna in the stroller and walked the mile to the local library. It is one of her fave places to go hang out and play. On the way there one of the shoes starting giving me a blister. By the time we arrived at the library on the back of both ankles were blisters, one of which was bleeding. I asked the librarian for a band-aid which luckily for me they had. The rest of the time there I walked around with just my socks on to let the pain subside, LOL. When it was time to go I put my shoes on and started the walk home. Of course every time I stopped to adjust the shoes Genna would ask a million questions about why the stroller stopped moving. I got out to the parking lot and I just knew there was no way I could make it home because the shoes were digging into my blisters and causing lots of pain. I hemmed and hawed about whether or not to walk home in pain or call someone to pick us up. So what's a girl to do you ask? Well, I walked home in just my socks, and remember I live a mile away. What would you have done?

Long-time, No-post

It has been ages since I have felt the desire to put my words here. I have been in a bit of a funk. A funk with life I think. I have been trying to lose weight and trying harder to cope with the fact that I will not be having any more kids. And in case you are wondering these two things are unrelated.

My kids are growing up so fast and I am just not ready for it. My twins are nearing the end of kindergarten and the little one is almost finished with her first year of nursery school. I am starting to get into a routine of my own and have some free time which is kinda nice. But I feel this sadness on occasion that includes the "no more babies" issue. I have posted on this in the past so today is just about my life at the moment.


I am turning 36 this month and yet other than my wonderful kids I feel like I have not accomplished anything in my life. I am starting to wonder if I ever will. My husband and I are also celebrating our 10 year anniversary next month. We are going away alone overnight and I am definitely looking forward to that as well. I just want to have a purpose other than being a mom and I am not sure if that will ever happen for me.

Other than that no exciting news other than that Genna is finally potty trained. Whoo hoo!! I will try to put up some new pics of the kids soon :)
