A rare moment

It's 7:30am. The house is quiet. Adam is sleeping in and my daycare girls are still sleeping also. David is already at school and I'm sitting here enjoying a cup of tea and the silence. This is a very rare moment and I'm appreciating every second of it.

Got the bug!

The scrapbooking bug that is. I haven't scrapped in months and it felt great to actually get a page finished. This photo was taken last spring at one of our local parks. It amazes me to see how much Adam has changed in looks over such a short period of time. I'm planning on working on a few more layouts this weekend.

A fun way to get some exercise!

Who needs to go to the gym if you have a wii! Check out this article, I was impressed with the results. http://wiinintendo.net/2006/12/05/wii-sports-experiment/

Do you live in the past, present, or future?

I took this challenge from the 2peas website.

Do you live in the past, present, or future?

I tend to live in the present with thinking of the future. I enjoy each day and appreciate all the important things in life. It's amazing to me how fast life goes by and if I don't take the time today to enjoy it I'll have regrets later.

At times in my life, usually when I'm having depression issues, I've lived in the past. Not leg warmers, big hair, and polka dot mini skirt past. But I'll think back to my childhood and wonder how things might have been different had I had a dad growing up and I would dwell on it for days and days. I allow myself time every so often to wonder about him but I don't dwell on it like I used to.

I do things today so that I'll be here for my children in the future.

Potty time?

Adam during one of 100 trips to the bathroom the other day decided he wanted to hold the foot stool while he went potty. He is doing pretty good for his age especially for a boy. He still goes in his diaper a few times a day. But he has shown a ton of interest. He'll even tell me he wants to use the potty as soon as he wakes up. I was expecting him to be a little more stubborn about it. Of course he may decide next week he wants absolutely nothing to do with it. Hopefully he'll keep it up and if he is completely potty trained by summer then he might be able to enroll in 3 year old preschool this fall. It's only 2 days a week for 2 1/2 hours but I think he would enjoy it.

What about Brian?

Confession time... I've still been watching "What About Brian?"

I just kept holding out hope that it was going to get good again and it finally is. So much so that Danny is going to play catch up and start watching it with me again. It seems like there is some definite onscreen chemistry between Marjorie and Brian. I just cant help but get sucked in. Oh, and I sure wish Dena and Dave would kiss and make up. Last weeks episode was to funny when Dena showed up at daycare, where Dave's girlfriend works, looking all hooched up.

There are parts of the show I can do with out but I'm a sucker for the smut.
