OK, so I am a little upset...I just spent the last half hour writing about my vacation and our holidays and I deleted it by mistake....so here is the shortened version...I have been on vacation for 10 days.....went by way too fast, but will be good to get back into a routine (especially for Aidan).
Xmas Eve we drove down to NY to spend the holidays with Jeremy's family. We attended the family party, it was nice to see all of Jeremy's family that we do not get to see on a regular basis. We spent Xmas morning at Jeremy's parent's house. The boys had a great time opening up their gifts!!! Although it was nice for Jeremy to be with his family, I missed mine like crazy!!!! I could barley keep it together when I called to wish my little sister a Merry Xmas. We had a nice family dinner and got to spend some time at Uncle Tom's (with Josh and his family and Amy and her family). We headed home on that Tuesday (let me tell you the car rides were much more bearable, i was medicated :-)) When we got home, Aidan opened all his gifts from Santa and he seemed pretty happy with Santa's selection. On Wednesday we spent the afternoon at my sister's for my family party. It was nice to be at home!!! What next??? Thursday was my nephew's 6th birthday party at Chuck E Cheese. Aidan was so excited when Chuck E Cheese came out to sing Elijah "Happy Birthday" (Elijah not so thrilled). It was nice for the boys to have so much room to run around and play and be silly.
Let's talk about terrible 2's. What happened to my sweet little mister???? Aidan has dove head first into this phase.....we have complete, full on tantrums, screaming until he gets his way and bringing him to any store is a nightmare....he yells "hold it" until we give him something to hold and the 30 seconds later he throws whatever he has into the back of the cart and starts yelling "hold" it again. He is driving me CUKOO!!! Don't get me wrong, he still can be a very charming little guy. He now hugs with everything he's got (sometimes he even pats and/or rubs). He loves us to sing to him, his favorites right now are "rudolf" and "take me out to the ballgame". He even fills in the last word of every sentence....it makes my heart melt.
Jeremy has been out searching for a new job (since the dimise of Black Point Inn). He has been a few interviews and still has a couple to go. He has been offered 2 jobs, but both cons outweighed to pros. I think he is starting to get a little stir crazy....he is used to working 12 hour days or more and now he has all this free time. I think he enjoyed it at first, but now it's getting a little old. If anyone hears or knows of any place in need of a Chef, let us know!!
Oh Yeah....Happy 2007....
Ok, in years past, I always say that my new years resolution is to lose weight. This year it is all about my over all well being and not just losing weight. So this is my list...
1.Eat more fruits and veggies (which i do , but not enough)
2.Drink more water (i am never thirsty)
3.Watch less television (and none in bed)
4. Find the time to read more (this may be hard)
5.Try to be in bed by 9:00p (5:00a comes early)
6. No hitting snooze (again 5:00a comes early)
7.Be a better housekeeper (ironic, huh??)
8.Limit caffeine (i go cukoo for coolattas)
9.Be more organized (put things away on the spot)
10.Have more patience (with aidan and jeremy and a certain crying baby. not that i lose my cool, i could just relax more)
This is kind of a tall order, but i think i can do it. I think if I can get a hold of these issues, then I will feel better overall. I just want to be a happy and healthy wife, mother, sister,daughter and friend. Thanks to everyone for their support!!
If anyone has comments or words of wisdom or things that have worked for you.....let me in on your secrets!!
That's all for now, so much for the shortened version!!
XOXO!!
not a lot to say...i am starting to see aidan look a little more like me the older he gets. i think these pics really show that!! if you ask aidan to say "handsome", it sounds like "hambone"...lol!!
