Watch out for links on here to videos. It looks like it opens in YouTube, but instead it opens in TouTube, I am sure it is a virus or something (yay me ugh) - then it automatically shares it on your FB wall and you "like" it as well.

things that are awesome - Margaret for volunteering to watch my kids. Elsie for sleeping all night after a late night for me. Things that are not awesome - Elsie being up until 11pm before sleeping all night (sorry mmg). Having a mouse in the house. (8:58am) December 9th

Thinks it sucks when you are at the store at 930 only to find out it does not open until 10. (9:34am November 24th, 2010)

any digital scrapbookers out there. Looking for something other than scrapblog that has lots of free templates. Scrapblog used to be good, but now----not so much. Want to make 8.5x11 size if it matters. (6:06pm November 22nd, 2010)

This has to a record for me. The baptism ended 1.5 hours ago and the thank you cards are written, addressed, and in the mailbox already. Yay (4:33pm November 21st, 2010)

Apparently my stove makes the sound that only teenagers can hear. Oops. Sorry colin lol (5:45pm November 20th, 2010)

Nov 8, 1997 - wow, that seems so long ago. It is the date when she and her husband went on their first date :) (2:04pm November 8th, 2010)

survived the first outing alone with the girls. In and out of the car, no problem. Getting to the car from the house need A LOT of work LOL. (1:01pm October 14th, 2010)

is finally allowed to officially drive; and is going to attempt to get out of the house with the just her and the two girls. Should be interesting since Cora is not really a "walker" yet. (8:48am October 14th, 2010)

Cora is 13 months today and Elsie will be 3 weeks tomorrow. Wow - time is flying by. Cora's monthly pics will have to wait until tomorrow though, too busy today. (9:33pm October 13th, 2010)

is loving all the pumpkin patch pictures, maybe we will head out this weekend (10:35am October 12th, 2010)

is grateful for awesome family and friends. (10:03pm September 16th, 2010)

just allowed Colin to take Cora to the park (in a stroller) so that he could hang with his friends. Might be a good way to teach his friends to prevent teenage pregnancy LOL (4:06pm September 15th, 2010)

Cant believe that Cora is one year old today! Wow. The last year has just gone by so fast. (8:23am September 13th, 2010)

has THREE carseats installed in her van. WOW, the baby will be here before we know it. (4:31pm September 11th, 2010)

is an aunt again. Her sister had a baby girl today....AG. Congrats to Katie and Stephen (8:14pm September 9th, 2010)

thank goodness it is the end of the season. Ruined an entire load of Cora's clothes (99% summer stuff) by having a new pair of her jeans in the mix. EVERYTHING is now a shade of blue/purple. Guess those clothes are not gonna get handed down. (OH, and she did not do the laundry, being a good bedrest patient) (1:14pm September 9th, 2010)

Wonders why the hell would you let your kid bring a horn to the doctors office. seriously (4:08pm September 8th, 2010)

thinks it's amazing how much a shower, make-up, and contacts makes her feel like a real person again. (2:38pm September 4th, 2010)

is chilling on the couch - AKA her status update until baby arrives. And, yes - that is the name, since we have nothing better. (11:13am September 3rd, 2010)

can't believe that Colin started his first day of his JUNIOR year in High School. Wow! (9:22am September 1st, 2010)

thinks her sister, Margaret is pretty awesome! (2:31pm August 31st, 2010)

does not want to see the inside of HMC for another couple weeks. Twice in 4 days is way too much. (9:10pm August 30th, 2010)

thank goodness the internet is working. (8:03am August 30th, 2010)

Wishes she can it her lap top to connect to the internet. How annoying (8:43pm August 28th, 2010)

Even though he is a Pain in the Ass most of the time, I really miss Colin when he is not here. Has been away for a week (tomorrow) and will not be home for another week. It is cool to actually have snacks last more than a day though (9:58pm August 24th, 2010)

thinks Cora looks oh so cute in denim overalls, even if they just BARELY fit LOL (5:46pm August 24th, 2010)

has a nice time at the park - but boy, what a change in temp. (1:29pm August 24th, 2010)

must remember NOT to let the 4 yr old know of any possible plans. When they are cancelled because of rain, she never hears the end of it. Rain rain go AWAY (2:46pm August 23rd, 2010)

is in love with a "magic" purple pill. (9:53pm August 21st, 2010)

does anyone know how to see all of my status updates? (4:15pm August 20th, 2010)

any fun things going on next week? Lil J is off from school and don't want to sit around the house all week. (11:31am August 20th, 2010)

got Cora's pics taken today - they came out so cute. It was so hard to pick which ones to get printed. It is really hard not to break the bank! (5:27pm August 18th, 2010)

hates waking up from a nap feeling more tired than before the nap (3:39pm August 15th, 2010)

thinks Birthday Crafts are FUN! (4:58pm August 14th, 2010)

Cora is 11 months old today. Where did the time go? I can't believe she will be a year old next month!!! (9:36am August 13th, 2010)

um, football already? (8:41pm August 12th, 2010)

thinks it amazing that her insurance will pay for viagra but does NOT pay for asthma medicine. Seriously, what is the world coming to. (3:28pm August 12th, 2010)

never got the memo that said all appointments must be cleared through her 15 yr old. Guess she also did not realize that the world revolves around him. (10:51am August 11th, 2010)

wonders where the beautiful weather went?? I hate this hot humid weather (3:38pm August 4th, 2010)

hoping the weather holds out - *might* go to the fair (8:46am August 3rd, 2010)

ah - anemia, that is the reason for the extreme exhustion. However, she still thinks it has something to do with the amount of kids in the house lol. (1:38pm August 2nd, 2010)

thinks Cora's pants might be a little tight, but is too lazy to go upstairs for a new outfit. not like she is complaining lol (12:15pm July 30th, 2010)

back from the "Balloon Fest" - we just stayed in the parking lot, $5 instead of $60 is a much better deal for us. Loading pics now. Lil J got a kick out of all the balloons. (8:35pm July 25th, 2010)

is glad we never use our dining room table. It is covered with party planning stuff :) (1:00pm July 24th, 2010)

wishes babies would just be born with teeth. Up most of the night, and now Cora is still sleeping. Guess she will be totally off schedule today. (9:11am July 23rd, 2010)

well, hello 3rd trimester :) (9:57am July 21st, 2010)

why do I watch "Secret Life of the American Teenager" crappy storyline, horrible acting, etc - but yet, I can not stop. Oh, yeah, and this is EXACTLY how my parents reacted when I told them I was pregnant as a teenager - yeah, right!!! (11:19am July 20th, 2010)

took Cora's 10 month pics a little late (oops), but just posted them today (12:21pm July 18th, 2010)

Is sitting INSIDE the tunnel ball pit thing. It is one of only a few places with shade. (2:59pm July 15th, 2010)

: packing for vacation when traveling w/little kids is a total PIA! So much stuff to bring. (9:34pm July 13th, 2010)

is counting down to vacation! Frank's vacation starts tomorrow, maybe we will get to "sleep" in :) (10:10pm July 11th, 2010)

do not want to start drama on the boards, but just wanted to put it out there that "just a foster" and what was said that it implies, is DEEPLY offensive. (8:31pm July 11th, 2010)

Wants to thank everyone for all the birthday wishes!!! (7:48pm July 9th, 2010)

Note. When your 40 inch kid walks 5 feet behind you the auto doors will smack him in the head. Oops (4:39pm July 9th, 2010)

Please keep my uncle in your prays, he is fighting brain cancer. We love you. (8:36pm July 8th, 2010)

was trying to avoid cooking inside today. So, made meatloaf and roasted pototoes to be cooked on the grill. Went outside to check on them and the temp gauge said 100 degrees. What???? Um, yeah - must have ran out of propane. So, now I have a 1/2 cooked meatloaf and uncooked potatoes. UGH!!!!! (6:24pm July 7th, 2010)

hot hot hot (4:15pm July 7th, 2010)

thinks 3D u/s pics are pretty cool. Even if the baby does kinda look like an alien lol (11:54am July 6th, 2010)

would like to thank Lil J and Cora for allowing us to sleep in until 8am, and then (after a bottle for Cora), letting us stay in bed until 9. Maybe we should see fireworks every night :) Oh, and Lil J is STILL asleep (9:04am July 5th, 2010)

trying to figure out what she likes better...the actual beverage, or all the ice (that fills more than 1/2 the cup) that she eats. Yum...crushed ice (6:06pm June 30th, 2010)

just put in the 9th load of laundry - still have about 2-3 left. And Frank does his own! Thank Goodness we have a washer/dryer. Guess she should remember to stagger the laundry so she does not spend the entire day doing it. Oh, and YES - Colin normally does his own laundry, he caught me being nice. (6:02pm June 27th, 2010)

loves that snopes can verify (or discredit) just about anything :) (10:29am June 27th, 2010)

Frank won't be home for dinner, so that means she doesn't have to "really" cook :) (3:42pm June 26th, 2010)

Dear Facebook - I don't need the pics next to the names in the notifications. I know what my friends look like and it takes up too much space. (10:08am June 25th, 2010)

would really love some Mexican food right now. Too bad there is nothing local :( (8:51pm June 23rd, 2010)

must be crazy - she is already starting to think about Cora's 1st b-day. It will be here before we know it! (10:53am June 22nd, 2010)

First day of summer - why has it felt like summer for months now? (9:22am June 21st, 2010)

Lil J has a huge fat lip. There was blood EVERYWHERE! Thought he would have needed a stitch or two. But after he stopped screaming, looks like it is "just" a fat lip. (7:45pm June 19th, 2010)

is excited to see my new Great Niece today. Oh, and last day of Pre-School for Lil J, moving on up to Pre-K (8:45am June 18th, 2010)

the "clean my kitchen" fairy did not come to my house last night - but the sleep-until-8-am fairy did for Cora, and Lil J is STILL sleeping. Can we do the cousins BBQ every day (well, minus the kitchen) LOL. Had a great time yesterday - already looking forward to next year! (8:53am June 13th, 2010)

Seriously - 9100 texts in one month!! Holy Crap Colin (9:32pm June 6th, 2010)

Gazebo - 1, Amy & Frank - 0. Our brand new gazebo that we bought YESTERDAY got blown away with the wind and the steel post broke in half. So, we had to make a trip to Home Depot to return it. We were on a hunt to find something else - nothing. UGH (8:36pm June 6th, 2010)

had a great and relaxing Day. Was even able to go back to sleep after Cora's 6:30 wake-up. She (and I) went back to sleep after an hour and did not wake up until 10 am! Wow - that has not happened in a LONG time. (7:08pm May 31st, 2010)

needs a hobby that does not include children (12:36pm May 30th, 2010)

thinks she is one the only ones (on FB at least) that does not care about the LOST finale, or the Apprentice one either (9:10pm May 23rd, 2010)

just saw some very interesteing lights over Washington - I have no idea what I just saw, but everyone in the area was watching it too, and some people were recording it (9:20pm May 21st, 2010)

Land of Make Believe (trip #2) was fun, but it was PACKED. The guy at one of the rides said there was 2400 people there. They usually only let in a MAX of 1000 for group days, but usually keep it at 750. But, we closed the park and were able to get on a lot of rides with no line at the end of the day. (3:50pm May 20th, 2010)

Weather is not looking good for tomorrow for Land of Make Believe:( Maybe the raindate won't be raining (9:28am May 18th, 2010)

closed on her house 4 years ago today. It is so different than it was then. (1:00pm May 12th, 2010)

wishes she could share the Pro-pics from Central Park. The pics are great - now deciding what to print is gonna be hard. The mom's accepted our IOU for pics :) (5:07pm May 9th, 2010)

is kinda bummed that something she was planning on using for Mother's Day has not arrived in the mail yet. Has been expecting it for about 3 weeks now. I guess the moms will have to take a raincheck. (2:57pm May 7th, 2010)

watching GLEE from the other day - love this show! (9:49pm May 6th, 2010)

needs (real) ideas for a thank you - my neighbor has cut her lawn every week now. He never wants payment or anything. We have given him beer (probably every other time), made him cookies, made him dinner. Frank thinks we should give hime steaks - or some other type of food. Thoughts - need real suggestions. He is a single guy. (12:26pm May 4th, 2010)

hates when something on a news website catches her eye the exact second that she clicks away from the page. Only to hit back and it's not be there. (3:48pm May 3rd, 2010)

it is no wonder why her back hurts from carrying Cora. She was weighed today....tips the scales at 22 lbs 10 oz. She is only 7 months old!!! (5:32pm April 30th, 2010)

It is so nice outside - took a walk to pay the taxes. That, not so nice :) Hate writing that HUGE check 4 times a year. (11:45am April 30th, 2010)

thinks her husband is awesome - just putting it out there (9:54am April 27th, 2010)

Has no internet for the past few days. If you need her, call or text her (9:31pm April 24th, 2010)

Is really liking the full keypad phone That she bought for colin. He might have to fight her for it (4:02pm April 23rd, 2010)

had a great time at the park, this weather is great. Even had a breeze which made it AWESOME! (1:15pm April 7th, 2010)

hopes Lil J's hair grows FAST. Why are haircuts so hard.....it's not like he does not sit nice. I guess, "just a teeny bit off the top since we have pics this weekend" means almost bald. Not joking, he looks like he has no hair. So much for looking nice in pics (4:29pm April 6th, 2010)

90 tomorrow??? Better put Cora in the bubble LOL (9:28am April 6th, 2010)

wonders why do the cars in the "Cars" movie need a parking lot for the racetrack?? Don't they just drive there themselves? (1:48pm January 21st, 2010)

only slept 2 hours last night (aka from 6-8 am). Cora is sick AGAIN. High fever, congestion, super green snot pouring out of her nose. She can hardly breathe. gonna be a long day (9:50am January 20th, 2010)

Mr. Hollands Opus - makes me cry EVERY time. (10:07pm January 17th, 2010)

is having fun looking up stuff for Lil J's (very small) birthday party. She misses being able to decorate for a little kid. It has been a long time since Colin let her do it. Was excited to find a cake that she KNOWS she can actually make :) (2:12pm January 17th, 2010)

is excited to go to AC tomorrow. Maybe she will be the big winner on the penny slots ! (5:34pm January 14th, 2010)

wants to know if the more than 500,000 people that joined the "dislike button" group actually have a dislike button now??? I did not want to follow the step thinking it might be a virus (9:20pm January 8th, 2010)

Put this as your status if you or somebody you know has suffered BABY LOSS. ♥♥♥ The majority won't put it on, because unlike cancer, baby loss is a taboo. ♥♥♥ Break the silence. ♥♥♥ In Memory of all the ~Angel~ babies gone too soon but never forgotten about!! ETA: I really wish it was not a taboo subject. There are WAY too many women out there that could use others to lean on. (2:11pm January 8th, 2010)

had success getting a tree! Everything was 75% off. Had to get a floor model, but who cares. Got a 10 foot tree, tons of new ornaments, new stockings - oh and a sweatshirt for colin - all for $76!!!! SCORE (12:45pm January 7th, 2010)

is gonna see if she can get a new christmas tree on clearance. The 6 foot tree with 10+ foot ceiling is just not cutting it anymore. (9:46am January 7th, 2010)

Let's see how forthcoming my facebook friends are. Leave a 1 word comment that you think best describes me. It can only be 1 word. No more than 1 word. Then copy and paste this post on your wall so I can leave a word about you. This should be interesting..Wonder if I have 20, or more, brave friends who will participate. (1:09pm January 6th, 2010)

totally forgot that it was New year's eve tomorrow. (9:26pm December 30th, 2009)

is back from the doctors - Cora does NOT have RSV (like they thought at first). But she has "junk" in her lungs and is wheezing - she was put on albuterol, and docs will check her again in 2 weeks (at her well visit) - oh yeah....and she is a whopping 14 lbs 6 oz! (12:22pm December 30th, 2009)

has been up since 1am. Now Cora is the sick one. 102.7 fever - guess we are going to the docs when they open. Fun times. (5:36am December 30th, 2009)

is loving her husbands bartending skills right about now :) (9:01pm December 29th, 2009)

is trying to get the house organized. But it seems like we keep moving crap from one room and just putting it in another (unorganized) room (11:57am December 29th, 2009)

is off to the doctors for Lil J, and then a bunch of returns. Lucky for me, all the returns are in the same general area :) (12:42pm December 28th, 2009)

is looking forward to having her husband home with her for the next week :) Might even get some spa time! (8:09pm December 27th, 2009)

is finally home after a very long day. Left the house at 10 am - yuck! (7:28pm December 16th, 2009)

guesses that when your baby can't bend is a good indication that the clothes don't fit. (11:47am December 15th, 2009)

OMG DEXTER! (9:52pm December 13th, 2009)

can't believe that Cora is already 3 months old. She now weighs in at 13 pounds! That is 6 pounds since birth! Added some pics to her "month to month" album (7:04pm December 13th, 2009)

is looking forward to "date night" tonight - AKA Frank's company Christmas Party. Will be good to get out :) (4:00pm December 11th, 2009)

wonders if it is selfish to wish her husband feels better asap - just so she can go to his work Christmas party tomorrow? (6:00pm December 10th, 2009)

felt pretty awkward buying stuff in Spencers while shopping with an infant and a 3 yr old - all with her newly purchased Tupperware LOL (6:31pm December 9th, 2009)

does NOT think it is strange that she questioned a $3 difference on a receipt. It is HER $3, and she wants it. Annoying (1:39pm December 8th, 2009)

somehow forgot to make lunch for everyone last night. Which means Colin had no lunch (and will complain about it later), Frank had to make Lil J's lunch this morning, and Frank had to buy lunch (or make his own as well). Not sure how she forgot something she has been doing every night for years. (1:40pm December 7th, 2009)

had a good time a holiday party today - great to put a face to some names (8:13pm December 6th, 2009)

thinks it is SO funny that Colin's girlfriend thought Frank was Colin's brother. OMG - so funny. (11:17pm December 5th, 2009)

thinks $4 for a box of girl scout cookies is expensive. She bought them anyway. (5:18pm December 5th, 2009)

is looking at pics from this past weekend and can't believe how much Cora looks just like Frank. At least he is cute :) (1:53pm December 4th, 2009)

4 Years ago she married a great man. That man is now a wonderful husband and a loving father. Could not ask for anything more. Happy Anniversay! (8:46am December 3rd, 2009)

tree is up, starting to feel like the Christmas Season :) (5:45pm December 2nd, 2009)

is getting her drink on with the hubby...nothing like a good chocolate martini :) (10:05pm November 30th, 2009)

May God Bless Cora Evelyn on her Baptism Day. Family made it extra special :) (3:22pm November 29th, 2009)

saw this on the front page of Yahoo news - and thinks it is so true...."Sometimes you're born into the perfect family, and sometimes the perfect family finds you" (3:24pm November 28th, 2009)

can't believe how different (in a GREAT way) her life is from this time last year. This time last year was a pretty low part of her life and she is so very THANKFUL for what she has this year. (9:42am November 27th, 2009)

back from Santa Pics - Lil J loved santa.....from a far. Up close, not so much. He did sit on his lap, but looks scared in the pics. No tears though. (3:59pm November 24th, 2009)

is going to attempt to see Santa today with the two little ones. Have been trying to prepare Lil J for this, wonder how it will go? (11:15am November 24th, 2009)

just threw out about 3 pounds of chicken because she thought it "looked funny". Better safe than sorry. Now, what to make for dinner? It was the only meat in the house. hmm. (5:43pm November 23rd, 2009)

ooops - just realized that I never took Cora's 9 week picture. I guess I will just skip to 10 lol. (9:45am November 20th, 2009)

is not too thrilled with her pics from today - gown was very slippery, baby was fussy, sales associate was snotty and amy is not too patient. Left with only the free one. Loading the pics soon. And to top it off, Macy's did not put all her items in her bag. (4:13pm November 18th, 2009)

is hoping to get some pics of Cora today in her Baptism gown. (10:18am November 18th, 2009)

- did anyone ever get pics taken at Kiddie Kandids? What was your experience? (1:47pm November 17th, 2009)

is back from Cora's 2 month appointment. She gained 4.5 pounds and grew 2.5 inches! (12:06pm November 16th, 2009)

12 years ago today, she went on her first date with an amazing guy. That guy is now her husband :) (10:42pm November 8th, 2009)

is enjoying some 'Me" time. (1:13pm November 6th, 2009)

Lil J is feeling a little better today. Thanks for all the good wishes. This is really kicking his ass - he is so sad (8:59am November 5th, 2009)

Lil J has probable H1N1 - lucky us :( (1:54pm November 3rd, 2009)

has a very sick kid - Lil J woke up with a 104.5 fever!!! Just wanting for the Dr to open to call them. UGH (7:36am November 3rd, 2009)

can't believe that her "litle boy is 15! Happy Birthday Colin (8:31am November 1st, 2009)

15 years ago, she was in labor with Colin - totally thinking she was going to have a Halloween Baby. Nope, Colin was not born until the 1st. (2:21pm October 31st, 2009)

is hoping it is not raining later for trick or treating (9:07am October 31st, 2009)

hope she never says, "well, let me go - you know it is my bedtime" She was talking to her mother and it was 8:22. (8:50pm October 30th, 2009)

is getting ready to go to Lil J's halloween parade at school. He was so excited to wear his costume this morning. (9:06am October 30th, 2009)

is excited for Halloween :) (9:05pm October 29th, 2009)

wonders what the HECK is Lazytown? How would you like that job on your resume? (11:13am October 28th, 2009)

still has not bought Halloween Candy - what is she waiting for? (8:30am October 28th, 2009)

thinks it is funny that Lil J's current favorite song is the Stanley Steemer jingle. They play it almost everyday between Jeopardy and Wheel of Fortune. LOL (7:31pm October 26th, 2009)

and her husband got NO sleep last night. Little Cora did not go to sleep until this morning. Colin was already up for the day when she finally went down for the count. Gonna be a long day. (12:25pm October 26th, 2009)

Fall fun was kinda lame. Heading to the park after naptime to see if we can get some pics though. (2:27pm October 25th, 2009)

anyone have a great over 18 yr old babysitter (warren/huntedon counties) that they want to share? (11:08am October 23rd, 2009)

wonders what is up with all these ladybugs? (1:58pm October 22nd, 2009)

dear double parker- I know you saw me get in my car - that usually means I am leaving. Don't park right beside my car and then get all pissy when I ask you to move. (1:11pm October 21st, 2009)

took Cora to the park for the first time...she loved it. LOL she slept the entire time :) (6:23pm October 20th, 2009)

thinks today might be the last time for the newborn outfit that Cora is currently wearing. That makes her sad :( [but happy, of course, that she is getting bigger lol] (9:39am October 17th, 2009)

got Lil J's hair cut today. Still have not found someone that does a good job. Have tried so many places and people. It is not horrible, but will probably not look "good" until it grows in a little bit. How hard can a little boys haircut really be? Plus, what about "we usually just push it to the side" means cuts his "bangs" straight across? UGH (5:18pm October 16th, 2009)

was happy not to see snow on the ground this morning (10:44am October 16th, 2009)

lit a candle today at 7pm to remember all her lost babies and the lost babies of WAY too many other women. (8:25pm October 15th, 2009)

does not like snow in October. Then again she really does not like it ever. (5:15pm October 15th, 2009)

wants to get out of the house today. (11:00am October 11th, 2009)

- lil J had a great time at the pumpkin patch, a little wet, but otherwise fun. (2:12pm October 9th, 2009)

loves getting a discount for paying cash :) Just booked Cora's baptism...Glad that is done. (1:38pm October 8th, 2009)

's newborn has HUGE feet. Just bought some "little" shoes. They are a size 2! (1:13pm October 8th, 2009)

Anyone interested in 2 Rangers tickets -- Sun. 10/11 5 p.m. at MSG vs Anaheim Ducks Great seats -- Section 119, Row D, Seats 12 and 13 Bought for $230 -- selling for $195. My sister is trying to get rid of them. Let me know if you are interested (8:50pm October 7th, 2009)

is trying t decide on a halloween costume. Maybe I will be able to get the one that has been sold out the past few years. (9:40am October 7th, 2009)

was up a big part of the night....and it was not because of the newborn. tired today (10:35am October 6th, 2009)

is going shoe shopping for mr. bigfoot. Colin is totally busting out of his shoes. (12:57pm October 4th, 2009)

is torn between what works and what she really wants. ugh. (9:06am September 28th, 2009)

has been up since 2am with a crying baby. Oh yeah and lil j should be up in about an hour. gonna be a long day (6:36am September 27th, 2009)

thinks it is funny that today was her induction date - yet Cora is almost 2 weeks old. Guess she had other plans (8:16am September 25th, 2009)

wishes she had the energy of a 3 year old. Lil J is like the energizer bunny. Just watching him makes her tired. (6:27pm September 24th, 2009)

wonders how "newborn" size clothes can already be getting small?? Thank goodness I did not have too much. (10:59am September 23rd, 2009)

did some baby wearing today - it was the ONLY way dinner was going to get on the table. Cora loved it. (9:30pm September 22nd, 2009)

is flying solo for the first time. It is amazing how much the 3 yr old is really the "big helper" - he will be missed while he is at school lol (8:53am September 21st, 2009)

survived the first week :) (8:48pm September 20th, 2009)

remembers 8 years ago like it was yesterday. (8:12am September 11th, 2009)

is excited, it could be any day now :) (7:11pm September 9th, 2009)

thinks Corn Pops Cereal is the best thing EVER - yum! (9:18am September 9th, 2009)

was happy that Lil J did well at pre-school today. Hopefully it will an everyday thing (8:52pm September 8th, 2009)

has no idea what she will do with her day tomorrow. Lil J will be in pre-school until 3pm. She has been with him EVERY day for the last 6 months. Doesn't actually remember what is was like before he was here. (10:09pm September 7th, 2009)

is hoping for a better day today (7:57am September 7th, 2009)

has had an interesting day. ER visit for Colin (broken arm AGAIN), car won't start (dead battery), pregnant lady slip on oil spill in front of auto body shop and ruin her favorite maternity pants. What a day so far....Oh, yeah, and because of the above - no nap for 3 yr old. (3:19pm September 6th, 2009)

thinks the lady at the bra shop is CRAZY thinking I was about 4 sizes smaller than I actually am. I've got HUGE boobs, not just really big boobs. I know what size I am. Guess I shocked her LOL (2:03pm August 31st, 2009)

was excited to find a Carter's Outlet "close" to her house. Bought going home outfits (one boy, one girl) for only about $3 each - yipee. She can totally seeing this becoming an obsession lol. (1:45pm August 30th, 2009)

has her childbirth class tonight....still can't believe she made it this far :) (3:58pm August 28th, 2009)

wonders how it is possible to sleep until 9:30 (thanks Lil J) and still be so very tired???? (10:00am August 28th, 2009)
