Before I was a mom...

Before I was a mom, I was ...

an employee, bringing home a pay check,

a college studen,  studying to make my mark on the word,

focused, on the future, 

more uptight, the little things stressed me out,

messy, but it was split between Bob and I and our dogs,

and lived in a quiet house, often compared to a libary.

Since I have become a mom, I am...

an employee, but get paid in hugs and kisses,

a studen, but my education is now more rewarding,

focused, but no longer on myself, 

more relaxed, after going through all we did, it takes quite a bit to get me uptight, 

just as messy, but now it's split between 4 instead of two, 

and live in a quiet house between the hours of 9pm and 6 am. from 7am-8:30 pm the house is NOT quiet.  

And I wouldn't have it anyother way!

big boy bed

Today is a big day for Greg.  He has upgraded from a toddler bed to a "big boy" bed.  (AKA a twin)

I am amazed at how fast he is growing.  His vocabulary is expanding daily.  He's our little mocking bird right now, and although it is cute (he says "oh snap), it is a bit scary.   He climbs the stairs and does all sorts of crazy two year old things.  He always wants to go to any playground around, and loves to play with Bo and Titus.  It's so cute.
