OK - so a girlfriend gave me an idea ... while my husband was deployed, start writing a journal that he could read to keep up with life at home.
I have my 2 1/2 year old son, and our second child is scheduled, via C-section, to show his face this Friday afternoon. So .... Here is my attempt at this 2008 version of a diary.
I happened to be cleaning the other day and found all of my old diaries ... read a few entries. Sometimes, as much as life changes, life stays the same. I am still the same dreamer and hopeful person now, that I was 16 years ago!
I am currently feeling anxious about Friday .... my Mom and Dad fly into town on Thursday afternoon. Eric, my husband, is due in that night. This baby MUST wait until then. Every funny stretch, pull, twinge, tickle that I feel - my mind jumps to overload. What was that? Am I in labor? Holy Crap - who do I call now? Then I calm down and all is right with the world again.
I am waiting for Big J to wake up from his early nap - what a BRAT he was this morning - they need to put day cares in the center of grocery stores! We are then going to go get some Shamrock shakes (yes - I am allowing myself to eat this for lunch ... I deliver a baby on Friday ... what do I care what I eat this week?!?!?!??!) and then I am off to work .... yippee.

Daily musings of a working Mom of two boys trying to keep her sanity while Daddy is in Iraq.
About Me
- Mommy
- I am a mommy to two boys and a beautiful little girl. I want to better myself every day and make people smile. I want to laugh at least once a day, have a good cry every once in a while, and feel passionate about at least one thing.
THINGS I HATE:
rudeness, being late, arrogance, abortion, frigid temperatures, Winter 2008, goat cheese, a dirty house, not fitting into my clothes, friends who are self-centered, a slow metabolism, men who have "girly" cell phone rings, rude cashiers, good-byes, people who drive slow in the fast lane, know-it-alls, time changes and, oh yea, did I mention Winter 2008?
THINGS I LOVE: my sons- Joshua and Joseph, my husband- Eric, my parents and sisters, sunny days, my skinny pants, shopping when I have money to spend, saving gift cards until I REALLY need to go shopping, blasting my car stereo with good old rock and roll, when a new magazine makes it into the mailbox, vacation, a phone call or letter from a friend just to check in, Mass, the beach, a good martini, reading a book I cannot put down, fireworks, a clean home, nachos, a good scary movie, the smell of cut grass and of burning leaves, and a great evening with friends and sitting outside on a warm summer night (with a glass or two of wine, of course).
I love to watch reruns on TV, I am a HUGE sports nut (GO KNIGHTS! Chicago Cubbies, Chicago Bulls, Chicago Bears, and to my husband’s dismay, I still root for the good ol’ Tampa Bay Bucs) and I am the world’s biggest fan of my family.
THINGS I WISH WOULD MAKE A COME BACK:
GOOD rock and roll, kids riding their bikes till their house lights came on, MTV with videos, the value of having a TRUE friend, MC Hammer pants, slumber parties, the thrill of an ice cream cone on a warm summer night, being a teenager with NO responsibilities, mall bangs.
