been a while…

I knew I’d be terrible at staying on a blog regularly.  Oh well!!  Let’s see.  Let’s start with the little man….He’s been doing well.  He keeps getting bumps and bruises (as most boys do).  He’s terrible habit right now is constantly sticking his hand down his diaper.  As a result, I make sure to send him in a onesie to daycare every day.  He’s starting to show some attitude now and then.  But nothing terrible yet. 

DH and I have decided we will probably be moving in within the next couple of months.  We’ve been thinking about long-term and wanting to buy a house one day.  We can’t do that right now.  But if we move to a smaller (and crappier) place for 3-4 years, we can pay off our debts and get some savings built up and be ready to buy a house.  The only problem with that is that we both have baby fever for baby #2.  It doesn’t help that I have 4 friends pregnant right now (one due to have her baby in 2 days).  I want baby #2 so terrible.  We would be better suited to afford baby #2 if we move to a smaller place, but then we wouldn’t have room for that baby and we would be spending the money that would go towards paying off debts/saving for a house on daycare.  And then we wouldn’t have the money for the house  in a few years.  It’s like we’re having to choose between a house and a baby.  :(  Being grown sucks. 

I’m terribly disappointed with myself.  I lost 40 lbs last year between April and December.  Between December and now I’ve managed to gain back almost 20 lbs.  I know what to do to lose the weight.  And everyday I wake up thinking “Today’s the day I’ll start back”.  And then I blow it.  I don’t know what’s wrong with me.  I’ve got to do something though.  I feel absolutely horrible about myself.  But I think summertime will help me.  I can start going for walks either in the morning or at night and maybe that will help.  I just have to give myself a swift kick in the rear and get going at some point. 

well….that’s the recap of how we are.  Same ol’ same ol’ really.  Working and playing with the boys…that’s my life as a mom!

    you know, there’s always going to be something going on that may make it seem like it’s not time for #2. no matter how we tryto plan it very few get to follow that plan. I certainly didn’t and don’t regret where we are now at all!! In fact it seems like everything has a way of just working itself out in the end.

    No one is ever financially ready for kids, or more kids… Have your children when you want to have them, the rest will work itself out!
