Just daily life...

Just a normal day in my life consists of getting up at 630am...getting dressed, doing my make-up, doing my hair, making my lunch, setting the alarm, and getting out of the house by 650am...and getting on the road to work.
I work with 2 year olds. The child to teacher ratio is 7 to 1--which means, I can have 7 kids by myself. That is children that are 2 years old, very busy, very excited to show me everything...all around me all the time. They do take a nap at 1130, after lunch, but any other time of the day, they are busy, busy, busy...
I love children. I always have. I always knew I wanted to work with them for a living too. Some people say working in child care is the best birth control in the world, but it does the opposite for me. I can't wait to have my own children. I want to see what kind of personality they have (hoping it is like one of our good kids). I can't wait to see what my future children will look like.
I eat the same thing for lunch every day: two peanut butter & honey sandwiches, a ziploc bag of what ever snacks I have (i.e. chips, Goldfish, pretzels...), and a little container of applesauce. I have discovered that the flavored applesauces are actually pretty good---kind of wierded me out at first...but I have found a mango-peach applesauce, and it is very tasty...during the week, I stick to drinking water. Only on weekends, and if we go out I may get soda or something else.
When I get home from work around 500pm, I am starving for dinner. I eat dinner around 6 or 7. Then I sit and watch t.v. till I realize how late it is, and I go to bed...

Not much to it is there? You would think so, but trying to keep up with everything at work, and trying to keep my sanity while 13 2-year-olds are running all over the place (i.e. like today) really has me exhausted by the time I get home...

whew! k...gonna go relax and figure out what is for dinner...

Up North For A Weekend...Part 2

Well the pics were taking forever to upload  so I restarted my computer, so I am happy to say that they work...I will show you a pic of me and my whole family...

We love each other so very much...and we are so glad to be able to have had the time together that we did...

<---This is me and my husband...I am so glad we got to come up and spend time with family. It was a long trip, but it was well worth it...









This is my older sister Angel, Her hubby Phil, and my Nephew Jesse...
I was very excited, because it was the first time I had met my nephew...he is definitely a mama's boy, he was always looking for her, and if he couldn't see her, he went looking for her...
He is such a sweet boy...and we got him a remote control firetruck as a gift, and he loved it...

This is my little sister Kelly Jo and her fiance (now husband) Dustin, and her daughter Anawynn...
I can't even tell you how excited I was to meet Ani...well, I guess you could tell in the previous blog entry, with how much I talked about her...
It was so cool to see my little sister being a mommy, and to really love on the sweetest little girl ever!
We got Ani a little radio that has lights and plays 7 classical songs, and she is mesmerized by it...best gift I ever gave anyone...


As time goes on, I know our family will change and grow, but that love will always be there...Someday, I hope to have a child of my own, and then these family pictures will be even cooler...
