I never knew how much love my heart could hold until someone called me "mommy".
Happy Mother's day to all the moms out there.

What is happening since May 2
Well, I was reminded today that I have not posted since May 2nd so I figured I should updat ya'all on the happening in my life.
Nate's Birthday was fun. He got a new bike from Nana and Papa and we are working on getting him off of the training wheels. He does really well on his old bike but gets to turning to sharp so we need to work on that some more nut it is tough at our house so we have to plan to do it at Nana's just cause they have the road without traffic for it.
His party went well... I spent all of this time planning all of these games that I thought the kids would like and they played outside the whole time except for when the had cake and ice cream and the pinata and the present opening. I was nopt going to push the kids into playing games though they had just as much fun outside.
Jackie is doing really well at speech therapy(Healthsouth) and Early intervention. Karen from healthsouth is extremely happy with her she feels that she is saying a lot more than we can understand because she has a lot of sounds that have consonant vowel sounds in them and she will pretty much imitate anything K asks her to do.
I pretty much stayed out of the room during EI this week and Jackie was very vocal, she seems to talk more when I am not there to observe. I a m really excited that she seems to be getting somewhere though. She has a new word as of late not as cute as Julia's "Oh Man" but I am thrilled. She is saying backpack.
I am trying to get pictures printed for the crop S, T and I are going to tomorrow night so that I will have something to work on while I am there for 5 hours. I am really looking forward to it.
I got Nate's school pictures back today OMG are they the cutest. He looks so handsome.
Went to a information thingy for Creative Memories Consultantants. I do not think that I am going to sign up right now but it isn't too bad an investment. I just don't know how comfortable I am getting out there and pushing it if you know what I mean.
I am looking forward to the CM party that Sharon and I are having on Tuesday night. I already know what I think that I want. I just have to decide what is the most important of all of my choices.
What else, I can't really think of anything right now so will write more soon.

Already May 2nd
Okay, it is already May 2nd, and Nate is going to be 6 tomorrow. It is hard to believe that he has grown so fast it seems like yesterday when He was a baby in my arms.
We are giving him a friend party at our house on Sunday, not to many kids 10 or less not to bad. He wanted to have a lego party so that is what we are going to do. I hope it is nice out so that the kids can spend some time outside I have a few games they can play outside, otherwise we are cleaning the basement so that there is plenty of room to maneuver. All of my furniture down there is going to go against the walls I think.
He is super excited about his party would like to have EVERYONE come to it, he does not understand that EVERYONE can not come or we would be eating rice and beans for months. LOL. Okay, just kidding about the rice and beans anyway.
I am getting goofy and I am supposed to be making cupcakes for school for tomorrow and haven't even started them yet so I suppose I should go do that.
Nighty Night!

What a weekend!
We had a very busy weekend. Michael's cousin Amy got married on Sunday, so we went to her rehearsal dinner on Saturday night and then the wedding on Sunday. Heather watched our kids.
She and Matt were so happy, it was so nice to see. Amy had this beautiful very simple dress with a black bow and an empire waist. Very classy and so her. her bridesmaids all wore black dresses of their own choosing that were cocktail or knee length.
The wedding was really fun. They had a band called secret service men, (www.secretagentmen.com) who was really good, although very loud. I spent a good part of the night on the dance floor, my feet are still hurting. Michael only danced three or four dances.
They are going on a honeymoon to somewhere in the West Indies, an Island called Nevis. The weather there this week is in the upper 80's, which looks to be the average temperature there year round. The hotel is a four seasons which runs about 695 a night, luckily Matt works as a chef at one of their hotels so he earns nights every month he works, plus a discount on any extra nights. They are planning to just laze around while they are there, get massages, ride horses, and lay on the beach.
Sounds great to me, anyone want to go. LOL.
I took tons of pictures. Some should be really good. Can't wait to get them printed.

My night out
Well I found shoes and a wrap for the wedding, really comfy. Had a really good time went for dinner at bugaboo after had a really good chicken dish. It was a really nice night out. I am going to need to either give myself a pedicure or go to the mall to get one today. I think I might just give one to myself, no money thet way right.
I am a little frustrated with Michael this morning. I asked him to do a couple of things around the house before I left and one of them would have taken him at the most five minutes. Did he do any of them? NO. I am ready to go back to work just to be able to pay for someone to do his cleaning. I don't even ask him that often.
Okay, sorry I needed to vent. I have been up since 630a with the kids. Nate got Jackie out of her bed this morning without asking, ARRGH.
Need to go to the grocery store and to get some work done around the house. Hope to possibly even get some yard work done today. We have Amy's rehearsal dinner tonight, which we are going to just hang out for because we are not in the wedding but she wants us to come after everyone eats to just hang out and meet everyone. I Think her wedding is going to be a lot of fun, she has a great group of friends.
Gotta go get some work done. Have a great day.

Night out with the girls
I am headed out tonight with Tracey and Sharon to go looking for shoes and a shawl/wrap for Amy's wedding. They felt like it would be nice to go out for a little while to get away form the kids etc. So looking forward to a night on the town.
I don't know about Tracey and Sharon but I don't get out without the kids and the hubby often enough.

My Kitchen Counters are Clean!!!
Okay I finally have clean counters in my kitchen again. Well they have been clean just cluttered. But the clutter is now gone. I love my new kitchen but all of the new countertop is really hard to keep things off of. Flat surfaces and all that.
I think Michael will be shocked to see them. I know Nate thinks it is really nice.

What time of day are you?
| You Are Sunset |
 Even though you still may be young, you already feel like you've accomplished a lot in life. And you feel free to pave your own path now, and you're not even sure where it will take you. Maybe you'll pursue higher education in a subject you enjoy - or travel the world for a few years. Either way, you approach life with a relaxed, open attitude. And that will take you far! |
My Day
Ok it is almost 10 pm and I am absolutely exhausted but I am still on this stupid computer.
I went to S's house today to help her with her gardens. We met T there and we all had all of our kids. Sounds like fun right. LOL.
Well it really was, the big kids played together, with Nate's stomp rockets, on the swings playing hide and seek, etc. Jackie had to be involved with the big kids although she played with bubbles with M for a long time and the played in the sandbox for a while with Julia who played in there the whole time. T's girls were absolutely awesome with Jackie. They were so enthralled. Both Nate and Jackie were SOOOOO dirty you could definitely tell they had fun.
S's gardens look amazing already and they are still a fairly blank slate.
Now I just have to finish getting mine ready for mulch although who knows when we actually get some. I would be happy getting just the front done and then doing the backyard later.
Well, I am going to go get some sleep have a lot of yard work to do tomorrow morning while Michael is home in the morning. Hope to finish cleaning the rest of the leaves up, so that we can bring them to the town dump to get rid of them.

Happy Easter
Good Morning and Happy Easter.
All is well here kids went outside already this morning to find all the Easter eggs that the Easter Bunny had hidden. 36 in all. Nate found 22 and Jackie found 14. I was really surprised how many she found, and she needed very little help. I got some really cute picture will try to post them later.
We are headed to my brother and sister in laws for Easter dinner today. Looking forward to it. I need to get some laundry done before we go, I havebeen letting it go this week still about 4 loads left.
Well you all have a great Easter. Eat well.

Paw Sox continued
Well, the Paw sox won the other night. What an awesome stadium. We had general admission seats which gave us the option of sitting in the blue seats, bleachers or the berm. We ended up in the bleachers, but the seats were really good cause you are still so close to the game. I truthfully think that if we went again we would plan to get there a little earlier so that we could set a blanket down on the berm and sit there cause it is in the left/center field where it seems that most of the home runs are hit, and it is grass so lots of kids.
I think we all had fun, ate lots of junk food etc. We stayed 'til the end of the game 10pm so did not get home until 11pm but Nate was really good at school the next day. I was really tired but it was fun.

Paw Sox
We are headed out to a Pawtucket Red Sox game tonight, Opening Night. Michael got free tickets so we figured we couldn't pass that up, and Nate has been pestering us about going to a baseball game lately. I hope he actually sits down to watch it.
The last game I went to was Boston Red Sox with friend Michael got tickets last year for my birthday. Looking forward to this though I have always found that the training teams fields are much more enjoyable cause you are SOOO close to the action.
Will update on how it went.

Picture Day
It was picture day for the kids today, they went to Nana's School (Capt Pal) to get some pictures done. Jackie was awesome it took two shots and we only took the second because she blinked. Nate was great too, a great smile nice and big so we can see his missing tooth, I hope. We also got one of the two of them together, I hope they all come out well. We have done this every year since Nate was born so it is a nice yearly photo to see how they have grown, even before they start school.

My gardens
Well, I am almost ready to put mulch into most of my gardens. I am way ahead of schedule this year I normally do not get around to it until June. The weather has been so wonderful that I couldn't not spend a good amount of time outside and N has been such a big help. He has been helping with my edging, I cut the edge and he digs it out for me. That has made things go fairly fast. I haven't decided if I should go get some flowers before I get the mulch, I think I probably will only because it will keep the gardens neat. J likes to play in the sandbox while I am gardening so that has helped as well.
I can't wait for the finished product and all of the flowers to come up. I have had snow crocuses for about three weeks, the back yard first and the front yard started blooming yesterday. The hyacynths are starting to come up but not ready to bloom yet. It is finally spring. YEAH!

Chapstick!
OK, you are wondering why I am writing about chapstick right?
Well, Jackie found some in my purse today as she was exploring and decided that I needed to put some on. Then... She tells me that she needs some. Sooo... I tell her she needs to make a kiss face, so she not only makes a kiss face she gives me one, so damn cute. I of course gave her some chapstick, and then she had to go look at herself in the new mirrors in my hall way. She has come back to me for it about 8 or ten times today. Isn't that just the cutest.

St. Patricks Day
Happy Saint Paddy's Day to all.
I am proud to be Irish today although I will not be peeing green tomorrow, not one of my favorite things to do. LOL.
M and I have the day off together and I am on the computer who'd of guessed it. The hockey banquet was fun last night, lots of laughs. I find it hard to believe that the school is so hard pressed that they cannot seem to come up with funds to help support the hockey team. It has pretty much been supported by the CHIP program for 6 years. I hope the town steps up to at least help sponsor it.
Well, I got up very early this morning. Dog barked at something (stupid thing she barks when my next door neighbors move in their own yard).So I finished the cookies for the St.Patricks day party at N's school. Then I spent 30 minutes doing a You Can Do balance ball video for abs. I may also take a walk or work outside later today if I get the chance.
J has EI coming today so M has gone to pick up N and I need to straighten up the house before she gets here.
Have a great St. Patricks Day

What a day
Ok so here is my day so far have three appointments doctors and otherwise, have to pay the bills. Need to get in a walk or exercise somewhere, and I have to make cookies for N's school St. Patrick's day party tomorrow. Plus have a hockey banquet tonight with M.
I have gotten in 3 days of walking this week, for at least 30 minutes each day. I really am going to force myself to lose 10 pounds by Amy's wedding at the end of April. Or at least losing an inch or 2 or 3. I want to be comfortable in a swimsuit this summer since I finally am not so selfconcious about my chest. Well, need to get the kids ready. J's first speech therapy appointment is today, I hope all goes well. I can't wait for her to start talking.
Long Day going well so far.

My Day
Well, N has gone to Nana's, who is going to keep him until dinner time. I am going to play pogo online with my sister for a little while then I will see about getting my house clean. J is going in for her nap after the snack she is having right now. Yogurt which she loves. She also loves to paint on the table with it. I figure it doesn't hurt her so...
M went to see the doctor yesterday since he had the Flu AGAIN on Saturday. The doc is having him have a whole ton of blood work and also see his other doc for his reflux issues. The only thing that concerned M was the question about weather or not he still had his gallbladder. Ok not good when I just stopped working.
Otherwise all is well here I am going to start seriously walking/working out as of today planning a walk with J in a little bit. She loves to ride in her stroller out on the bogs and I can get a good 30-45 minute walk in for the day. I know when I go for my physical on Thursday I will be told by my doc to lose weight so might as well get on the ball before hand.
I got my new computer hutch today it is so nice to be able to be upstairs while I am on the computer. Plus the fact that it is similar to my new cabinets is a plus as well.
Well, J is ready to get down. Gotta Go.
