1. Oh, I can't wait until I have a better "after-baby" body!!
2. Milk is the first thing I see when I open my refrigerator.
3. I never leave home without my kids and my cell phone.
4. If I were a condiment, I would be BBQ sauce, somketimes sweet, sometimes spicey and sometimes smokey - unique in every way!

6. The last thing I thought of before I went to bed was will tonight be the night that I get a full night sleep (nope!)?
7. And as for the weekend, tonight I’m looking forward to trying my new workout CD once the boys are in bed, tomorrow my plans include lunch with a friend and the pool and Sunday, I want to hang out with the boys and get ready for my parents to come next week!

13 Things from my To DO list:
1. Send thank you cards - I am so far behind on this (very A-typical of me) that it almost seems dumb at this point.
2. Call Comcast - Our promo ended this bill and now we are stuck with a monster payment.
3. Buy Poison tickets - My sister is actually coming into town and we are going to go together .... need to get that done before the weekend comes and goes!
4. Order Big J's playhouse/sandbox (see previous post).
5. Mail Eric's package
6. Take maternity clothes to the basement - I think I have been slow on this one because my belly still looks like I am expecting! :(
7. Cancel my dentist appointment. I am FINALLY trying a new dentist and getting away from the quack of a woman that CALLS herself a dentist ..... now I just have to say bye-bye!
8. Take my car in for an oil change. When the HECK am I supposed to do this?????
9. Get my car cleaned- it is BEYOND filthy.
10. Hook up the TV to the receiver to the DVD to the CD player to the IPOD dock ... uummmm... am I a retard or is it TRULY rocket science??????????
11. Wash the bedding and towels ..... I REALLY need to before everything starts to walk.
12. Buy a new bra. I have to face the cold hard truth. This weight aint going anywhere any time soon. Living with one bra is NOT cutting it anymore!
13. Finish decorating little j's room .... at some point it will become crystal clear that he really is the second child!!!!!

Milestone Updates
OK ... so, it has been over a week since Big J went into big boy pullups .... yesterday he had not ONE accident. He is doing so well! The ladies at day school are amazed at how quickly this is all going for him. I am so darned proud of the little dude!!!!
Now I just have to fulfill my promise and buy him his playhouse or sandbox (We used a chart for about a week. Once it was filled he was able to get one).
The only downside? Cleaning out that cursed potty ... GROSS! I will give him one more week in pull-ups. Then we go to big boy underpants during the day and pull-ups at night. Once that goes for about a week we are going to start climbing onto the big potty!
As for little j .... he rolled over from his back to his front on Monday! I brought the exersaucer upstairs for him to use as well .... We also fed him baby bananas ... he actually seemed to enjoy them so much more than the rice cereal!!!!!
They are both growing up before my eyes!
I will have to update the site with some recent pics!!!

13 Things that men should not wear
1. Capris. Gross. Go to Europe where it is fashionable ... you just look like a dork in pants that belong on your girlfriend.
2. Pointy toe shoes. WTF????? Did you really want to wake up and look like one of Santa's elves?
3. Wife Beaters. Unless you have abs of steel .... you just look like TPT ... put on a real shirt.
4. Tapered Jeans. You look like men on chopsticks ... ew.
5. Shorts that hang below your boxers. Why? How old are you anyway?
6. Crocs. I am sorry if I offend - but ANYONE who wears these just look like DORKS!!!!
7. Baseball hats with flat bills. Did you buy your hat at the dollar store? You look like an old man on a farm! Where is your tractor?
8. Jeans with worn out pockets. Nothing bothers me more than looking at a butt in front of me and seeing a man's boxers through the holes he has worn through his pockets.
9. Tattered jeans. I just don't understand the love of jeans that look like someone went dumpster diving. It was cool when I was 16 .. but if you are a hard working adult - look like one!
10. Sandals with socks. No comments necessary.
11. Short shorts. Yuck. Yuck. Yuck.
12. Speedos. Gross! I have NO desire to see a man's thingy .... they aren't that attractive anyway.
13. Biker shorts. Unless you are on a bike ... take them off and get some REAL shorts!

Milestones
I forgot! So .... Sunday night? Joseph rolls over from front to back! I also fed him cereal last night for the first time. His face was priceless!!!! He looked so confused as to what the heck was going on in that mouth of his!!!!
Joshua is in big boy pants .... pull-ups for now. Started OFFICIALLY potty training yesterday. It is going to take some work, but I am sure we will get there. I just have to remember to take him every hour - on the hour!!! Ugh ... add ANOTHER full time job to my ever-growing list!!!!!

Another day ... another dollar
So .... we begin another Tuesday sitting in the office taking phone calls.
I STILL cannot believe my talents are wasted once a week - every week - saying this over and over again: "Thank you for calling. How can I help you?"
I already did this ... for THREE effing years I plugged away on the phone, putting in my ten hours a day - 50 hours a week - padding my resume with experience.
Now - 10 years later - I am back doing the same thing? Having to sign in and out for breaks, lunches, dealing with petty office crap?
Ugh. That is all I can say about this. Ugh.
It doesn't help when, to be here on time, I have to take the 7:20 train ... meaning I have to be OUT of the house BY 6:45 .... meaning, I had to wake both boys up, get them changed and run out the door to be in time. I HATE it!
Oh well ... suck it up ... until I have time to get my resume together - or start playing AND WINNING the lottery ... my days will be spent running from here to there ... or attached to a phone cord all day .....

13 Things I am afraid of:
1. Enclosed places - this has gotten worse for me with age. Don't ask me to crawl into a small tunnel, I hate covered water slides .... yuck, yuck, yuck.
2. Spiders - they are too creepy for my liking
3. Going Broke - I think we ALL feel this these days!
4. Losing my parents early - I DREAD this phone call and hope it won't happen for a VERY long time.
5.Staying Fat for the Rest of my Life - This has been a battle since I can remember knowing what the word "fat" meant. What if I spend the rest of my years battling this crap?????
6. Rats/Mice/Rodents - eeewwwwww
7. Getting a wax - Everyone says it is no big deal - but - come on! RIPPING your hair out of the root .... I cannot even begin to imagine the pain it causes!
8. Throwing Up - I always joked that I could have never been a bulimic because the mere THOUGHT of throwing up makes me cry. Not good on those days where one good heave and the world would be a better place!
9. The Economy - What of it really DOESN'T get any better??????
10. My husband and I never being truly happy after this deployment - What if this whole thing effs everything up??? Ugh. I cannot really think about it too much.
11. Losing my babies - I will not even go there.
12. Basements - always have been - always will. There are just too many scary things that could happen down there!!
13. Heights - AKA - Ferris wheels, tall rides at amusement parks ... um, yea, NO! I like my feet on solid ground!!!
