2009

Let's see...what did I do this year? I had a baby, got sick, got better and chopped off my hair. I felt like it was a year of transformation for me. I also turned 30. I feel like a butterfly that emerged from a cocoon. Except I think I was more beautiful before. 2009. The year I got fat and ugly. Also the year I realized how much my husband and kids needed me. And the year I got baby Griffin. I've also become closer to my friends I think. SBHL girls, I love y'all so much!

Tonight I am gonna party like a rockstar with my newest sidekick Baby G. Word.

Peace on Earth

Sigh

My kids are so wild today. Literally bouncing off the walls. They asked me for lunch and I didn't hop to it fast enough so they proceeded to ask me for clam chowder 147 times in a row. I told they to be quiet and I would get it for them. I was heating it up and Kim asked me AGAIN!!!!!!! I turned around and snapped at her, "if I hear you say 'clam chowder' again I'm going to beat you!" immediately Kennen walked in the kitchen and asked "is the clam chowder ready?"

WTF? I turned around to chase down and beat my kids and Jeff finally stepped in to help me. He sternly told them to sit down and be quiet.

Then Jeff looked at me with a little grin and asked me, "Can I have some ham powder? How about some schlam dowder?" Then I laughed until I cried. What a dirty J-w.

Mii huz

Doesn't this Mii look very true to life??? And excuse the boob tube line. My tv is prehistoric.

Happy

I am. Happy and busy but I miss blogging. It's such a pain in the ass to blog long posts from my iPhone so my new plan is short and sweet posts. Something is better than nothing, yes? Yes!

Baby Griffin is perfect and such a silly and social little guy. He coos and talks and smiles at anyone who will stop to lookat him. 4 months old and already making friends and influencing people.

I am off steroids and my UC is under control. I cannot tell you how happy this makes me. I'm still 20 lbs heavier than I was a year ago, but my big fat moon face is shrinking. Woot!

Here is me and my beardy baby love.

Slumber party?

My baby girl is growing up! She has gone on not one but two sleepovers in the past few weeks. I don't know if I am ready for it but Kimberly totally is. Both times she had a blast and didn't want to come home. So weird that she is growing up so fast.
