long day

Well, the house is starting to come together....still tons of things to put away. We got up early to go to the gym this morning, (i love to play raquetball) but my day started out bad there because I'm seeing currently with only one contact lens and so I played awfully! The kids seem to have fun in the day care center there so that's a blessing. We ran by the apartment and picked up a few things then to Target to take a look at our registry. Then home...fixed lunch and got the kids down for a nap..then Dale & I took a nap...we all slept for about 1.5 hours which was much needed. The kids played outside for a good portion of the evening...

Tonight was really cool...we all sat around and watched American Idol. It's rare that John (the three yr old) will sit still that long for anything...much less a singing show...but he's running a low-grade fever from allergies i think.

Still got a lot of details to work out on me getting my car fixed and the final details of the wedding & honeymoon. I hope the money comes together.

Some Perspective

Well it's been 2 weeks now... I have a little more perspective...The hardest thing to me about being a stay at home mom to these two is keeping them busy...they get so bored with things so fast...I dont know know what to have them doing! I dont want them watching so much tv...weather so far has prevented them from going outside a lot...We play games on the computer, we go run errands...we had TWO trips to the library last week...I like being on the go with them....I want them to learn how to behave in public. They're VERY strong willed.

I cant wait for the time when they start calling me Mom....

Day 1

A new life, a new day began today. Today was my first real day as a stay at home mom to Joshua (age 6) John (age 3) and Elizabeth (age 5)...combine with that Dale and i trying to forge ahead in our relationship, moving from my apartment in-town to the country...getting married in 3 weeks, and me quitting my job of 2 years last week, things are a bit stressed. But as Dale and i discussed...there's good stress and bad stress....i believe this is all good stress. But stress none the less.

Our day began today at 6:40 am when Elizabeth came knocking on our door wide awake. We sent her back to bed, but she was back 20 minutes later. And then 10 minutes after that. Finally we got out of bed, i headed off t my bath and when i got back, all the kids were up. i fixed their breakfast and then sent them out to play (at NINE AM!!...bad mama!!) This gave me some time to get my head together, check my email and ebay auctions etc. Then i took the kids to get their hair cut, mail some ebay packages and then back to house. Time to cook lunch...corn dogs, french fries & fruit. NAP time :) Dale & i layed down too and zonk we were out...that is until Elizabeth once again woke us up. So back at it again...we were going to go to the park, but i had some need to be near a toilet issues so we stayed here. This afternoon, they've played easter egg hunt, colored, fought, cried, ate dinner (pizza) and drew numbers to see who got to take a bath first. Pshew. What a day. (that Pshew costs me .05c) I charge the kids for using "bad" words.
