Cling-On

Help! I have a major Cling-on! I am so serious about this that I wish it were funny-but it's not. My adorable 2 year old is (I can almost say "literally") attached to my hip/leg 24 hours a day. I love him so much and I am so glad I get to be with him all day, but he has such a need to by right on me, I beginning to think he has an "issue". I could totally understand if I were a Mom who was gone all day and didn't see him most of his 24 hour period, but he is with me CONSTANTLY. He even sleeps with us still, and has to lay on my arm to sleep! so I am serious when I say 24 hours! If I am sitting, he's on my lap, if I am at the counter, he's between me and the cupboard, if I am in the shower, so is he, even when I have that 10 second private time in the bathroom- WAH LA, there he is! I wish I had a miracle trick of breaking him of his Mommy addiction, so far, nothing. Maybe I should leave him more often and let someone else watch him, that seems like it would be counter-active, who knows. For now I guess I will just try to be kind and loving to him when he's climbing on my lap when I am paying bills, someday soon he will probably think I am not so "cool" and I will be following him around hoping we can "hang-out" together for just a few minutes! Ya gotta love him.

Dad's Rule!

A lot of times I get so absorbed in being the "Mom", I fail to mention Dad. I brag about my kids, I groan about my kids, I talk about myself and all that I do and all I wish I would do. My children, my past and my accomplishments are always at the for front of my thoughts and probably will be the talk of my blog, but all would fail without my awesome kids Daddy. He is an amazingly hard-worker, a devoted husband and a hands-on parent. He loves our family more than anything in this world and we think he's the best. Love you Daddy!

My Awesome Daddy!

Let's Go- We Love it Outside!

Okay- here goes!

So I got addicted to reading blogs about a month ago and find myself on this dang computer way to often. I have always been very.....nosey? I guess I will call myself that, but my "knowledge" of information has been very handy to many people, many times. I still remember my friends phone number from the 2nd grade and my "crushes" license plate from when I was in 8th grade! My family calls me weekly for some random piece of pointless information. I don't hold very many memories in my brain which saddens me, but my informational mind is awesome, go figure! I decided if I were going to be glued to this blogging business, I might as well be writing and recording my life and not just spying on everyone else. I have always used writing as an emotional outlet. It is so much easier for me to write what I feel as opposed to talking face to face with someone. I express myself so much better with pen than with tongue. So here goes a new addiction for me, I don't really care if this blog is read often, at least I can feel good about sitting on this comfy office chair and letting my feelings flow! I don't work well with guilt!
