Foodie Fridays

It's been awhile since I posted on a Friday. I don't seem to have as much time as I'd like to devote to this blog, but I'll try better!

If you didn't hear, we had a little earthquake here this monring. So in honor of that...

Amaretto

Snooze alarm

The alarm clock gods have smiled upon us this past week. (knock on wood)
Jack has been sleeping through the night!!!!!!!!! I however still wake up about 2:00am and still check on him, but I think that's a mom thing. I'll probably still do it when he's 16, only to check to make sure he's home!!!!!!
I've been able to hit the snooze alarm twice this week and get ready for work without interruption. I hope this isn't a fluke.

And some even better news.... my very good friends Susanne and Lenn Knese welcomed their identical twin girls into the world over the weekend. Isabella and Chloe are healthy and doing well. As is mom. Good Luck to the new parents and enjoy the ride!

Calgon Take Me Away!

So I've been absent from posting the last couple of weeks because I am learning how to juggle. Juggle, you say? Yep. Juggling only a mom can understand. I started a new job that is requiring me to spend about 45 minutes each way in the car, found out Jack will need a new daycare in 2 weeks, trying to keep up with my house, and oh yeah spending time with my family! You hear all these stories about working moms vs. stay-at-home moms and think it won't affect you, but it does. And it SUCKS!!!! I get about 15 minutes with Jack in the morning before I have to take him to daycare. Then get about 2 hours at night, which is busy getting dinner ready, laundry, dishes, and getting Jack a bath, fed, and to bed at a decent hour. And now our daycare informed me last night that she will no longer be able to care for Jack as of May 2. So now Darrell and I are scrambling to find daycare that is close to home, within our price range, and is available for the hours we need. Sorry about the rant, but it was time to let off some steam.
And to top it off post pregnancy hormones are taking over and I'm breaking out like a 13 year old girl!!!! I'm 3......28 years old for goodness sake. I should not have to deal with acne anymore.
