New Endeavors

Here's to the start of a new era for me, blogging!

Unfortunately, I'm too socially inept to go meet people in person and actually make a conversation so I will cower behind my computer and if people choose to jump in and join the conversation, so be it. I've only started following blogs about a year ago and then my favorite blogger closed up shop, but not before introducing me to another great blog and then finding another blog somehow from there. In addition to these, I frequent a lot of coupon sites and am trying to become an ultra coupon clipper money saver, but am still somewhat mediocre at it. Money saved is money saved though.

My first job however is to my boys, 2 years old (Ugh!) and a cuddly 7 month old, you know.. the one that you have to hold and not just hold, but stand up and hold because that's the only way he will be mostly quiet and happy. Sometimes I think I was crazy to have them so close together, (18 months and 2 days) but naturally, I wouldn't trade them for anything. My OB suggested (from her personal experience) that I have them 18 months apart. Guess what happened when I called her up to set up an appointment? She was now only doing the Gyno portion and I was forced to find a new baby doctor. It worked out, we had already moved away at this point and I was somehow going to suffer going 1.5 hours away for 12+ appointments over the course of nine months? No, probably not, but I still never got the chance to thank her for the mess she's gotten me in to. She had to have had a nanny, if I were a doctor, I would. Although somewhere in the day I start to lose my mind by being tag teamed by diapers and whining for various things all while trying to keep one quiet praying they won't wake the other, I'm fortunate to be able to be at home with them because there are lots of things I would miss otherwise, unfortunately, because I stay at home, there are probably a lot of things I take for granted too.

One thing I can appreciate though is silence, Ahhhh.
