And there you have it.....

Really busy...

So... things have been "REALLY" busy at Kohl's (I hope you can sense my sarcasm) Truth be told I just don't really care about my blog right now, I think too many people use it to toot their own horns and say "look at me I'm perfect". Anyhow, I have been getting a lot of crap about not updating, so while looking at other blogs (stalking, if you will) I came across the most amazing girl/blog "NieNie". I am humbled by this girl and her strength and beauty. I found myself completely engrossed in her story of survival and in awe of her and who she is. I WANT TO BE HER FRIEND. I realize my life is easy compared to hers and have decided its time for me to turn a new leaf and be a better person. So for now, here is to her and my "new leaf"....

Where are you?!

Yes, I know I have not blogged in MONTHS.
Well, truth be told, we haven't been too exciting.
I haven't downloaded any pictures from, well
like before Christmas. (bc, my computer sucks)
And we're going through some changes around
here. I have been in work limbo since December,
not knowing whether or not my job was going to
die or scrape by with its teeth. I'm still not sure...
so I went and found myself another job.
I am a NEW employee (well, as of Feb. 26th) of :




I feel lucky to have found someone who was hiring
and somewhere so close and a flexible schedule.
It has been a tough transition for me to leave at
nights and on the weekends, but we'll get through it.
I'm mostly thankful that Justun is a great crutch for
me. He has/is/will make this whole thing alot easier.
And, thank goodness he has a GOOD job, someone
around here needs to make some money. (You know
it's not me :0 )

I a "BIG" girl now!!

Wahoooo!!!
Well, Haddie is finally COMPLETELY potty-trained.
NO MORE diapers, do you know how much money that saves?
(well, we use pull-ups for naps and bedtime just in case)
About 2 weeks ago we told her if she could go 7 days with no
accidents we would take her to the store to buy a surprise.
Well, she did it and we are going on 2 weeks tomorrow.
I am so proud of her, I was worried that she was too little,
but the little stinker is too friekin' smart for her own britches.
You have to understand Abby didn't GET it until she was 3 and
even then poop was another story entirely. And, you are
probably wondering what prize she picked for potty-training,
one word: CANDY. No toy, no movie, no Barbie Corvette (Abby),
all she wanted was CANDY. Which also happens to be what she
wants from Santa. I LOVE THIS GIRL!!! Anyhow, I was going to
post a picture, but as my friend Karen so aptly put it, no one wants
to see a picture of my kid on the toilet. (Nor do I really want to take
one) I could have taken a picture of her with her CANDY, but I
really didn't think that far ahead. SORRY :( As for Haddie, she is
really proud that gets to wear "BIG" girl panties like Mom and Abby
and she sometimes refuses the potty seat with, "I no need it Mom,
I a big girl now, renember?" Its hard not to love the little stinker.
Way to go Haddie, you are a big girl!

YEAH for Christmas!

May the spirit of Christmas be with you now and all
throughout the year :)
