Supposed to be cleaning for the 'possibility' of showings over the weekend, I haven't heard anything about tomorrow yet, they have to give us 24hrs notice-they have about 67mins left and Sat will be mine all mine. But seriously I have to clean up, wash down counters, vacuum, wash windows,dust etc but I have lost my cleaning MOJO :(

TGIF

Happy Friday!

So I felt motivated by Michele to track my pts this morning. I re-joined WW a month ago, but while being sick for 2 1/2 wks I kinda slacked off. WW is easier when your doing it with someone, hopefully it'll work!!
Because I REALLY want another baby. I haven't said that to anyone except for Jim. Before I will even try, I want to lose 'about' 40lbs. I am getting older and if I wait any longer I may not be able to do it. My friend who is also my age (+35) is pregnant right now and had a amnio to check for downes syndrome- How did I get that old? Getting pregnant isn't easy for me, I have PCOS and don't ovulate on my own (sorry is that TMI). BUT since having my daughter some things (without getting too personal) have changed and eensy bit, and the books say the second time around for a PCOS'r is sometimes easier....So keep those fingers and piggys crossed that I don't need to seek medical intervention. Wow this posting is certainly not going where I was planning, I guess you don't realize what is really on your mind until those fingers start typing.

Networking, Mommy job...

so being a SAHM is awesome, I couldn't imagine leaving my daughter anywhere. But I need to find a way to help bring some money home. I am so torn, I want to be with my family, but want/need to make some money. Does anyone know of a good mommy job? It's so hard because my daughter goes to school T&TH 9-11:30am now and next yr she will be going M,W,F 9-1pm. Plus I am going to be one of the Co-directors at her school, that will be a PT job by itself and I will have to attend a board meeting once a month (usually at night).

How do I find a job that fits MY schedule?
I think I am pretty creative, can I start my own mini-biz?
My friend sells Lia Sophia-do I go that route?
I've worked retail, do I dare go there?
I went to school for Medical assisting, should I send my resume out and hope some DR office or hospital has THE job for me?

UGH, I soooo don't know what to do. My hubby is tired of working so much, I wanna help him, I wanna see him more often. But I hate bouncing from job to job.

I need a Mommy job!!!

Field Trip


Today Emily's class went on a field trip to White Memorial Conservation Center, it was fun ( I chaperoned) What a beautiful day to go there. The kids were so good and had so much fun. Emily always likes when one of her friends drives in our car, today that friend was Claire. Plus Mommy always has fun chatting it up with the other Moms. We didn't leave on the field trip till 9:45am, so I was able to go for coffee with two of the other Moms. This Nature center has some summer programs and I am going sign Emily up for one of them, another Mom mentioned to me that she signed her little boy up (mind you this was the little boy Em was kissing at school) so she'll be excited about that when it gets closer.

Beautiful day

So we headed to my grandfathers for a visit today. Em played in the Garden and is FILTHY. But she had fun. Our cousin who lives next door was home on April vacation so she came to play with Em, they love to play with each other.

One of my family members was also there- we won't mention their name, even though they don't have access to the computer, Michele you'll know who I mean. Well, anyway, they are sooo fresh to my 10yr old cousin, every time my cousin wants to do something and I mean anything, this person has to say no, or don't do that, stop that or something not nice. It makes me so mad. I think because I was once that little girl. This person would talk to me like that too. As an adult I know those words impacted my life, sometimes I am quiet around new people, because I feel like what I have to say isn't worthy, because as a kid this family member would always be fresh/mean. Now my daughter who is three, I don't want her around that or to be spoke to that way. I can't tell this person to stop, it's like talking to a wall. So do I just keep my daughter away from them. OH family fun......UGH

Why am I still up?
I had to watch "The Real Housewives of New York" reunion. Did you watch it at all? It was a great reunion show, you know how reunion shows usually go, the host asks the questions we all want answers too and the cast member makes up some bull and acts like we're crazy for thinking what we thought and the rest of the cast plays nice. Well not this one, those wackos Alex and Simon- got called out and all the cast members agreed and said they were phony. It was awesome! I know I need a life, but when Em and Jim go to bed it's my alone time with my friend TIVO..... :)

Night Night

Back to school

After a 2 wk hiatus, Emily is back to school. It was a crazy morning, it was hard to get up and get going after relaxing for the past 2wks. When I got to school one of the Co-directors was waiting for me, she let me know that they are going to nominate me for one of the new Co-director positions for the 2008-09 school yr. This is kind of exciting, but VERY nerve wracking too. Big, Huge, responsibility......whooooooa doggy. Then I played catch up with the other Mothers. It felt like I had been gone longer than 2wks. But Em was soooo excited to see her friends and Teachers again!
