Let's try this again

Yes, we've heard it all before. I'm going to post more often, I won't forget, blah blah blah. It always seem that once the girls are in bed I don't want to do anything. So, my new commitment to myself is to post twice each week. Trying to post everyday was very hard because there really isn't anything that interesting in my life to talk about everyday. But like I said, this is important to me so I'm going to make an effort. In the meantime, here is an oldie but goodie from my original blog.....

Being A Celebrity is Rough

Do you ever feel like a celebrity and your kids are the Paparazzi? I love them and I'm lucky to be able to stay home with them but do they have to want me all the time? Scott got up with them this morning and when I got up they were already having breakfast. I sat on the floor on the other side of the loveseat where they couldn't see me just so they would eat. Natalie finally found me but I spoke to her in a whisper so Alyssa wouldn't hear me. Scott said everytime I whispered she got very still and just looked around. I swear it's like being hunted. Can you imagine what it's like to be hunted by the real Paparazzi?

25 Random Things About Me

1. I hate being late for anything. It is the only thing that stresses me out more than PlayDoh.

2. My kids are the greatest little people. They are just so smart and funny and genuine. I can't imagine not having them.

3. I love the town I live in and if I have my way I will live here forever.

4. Once my 3yo starts Kindergarten I want to go back to school and become a preschool teacher.

5. My husband is a better person than me in everyway that counts and I really don't know how he puts up with me sometimes. I'm sure he doesn't either :)

6. I think everyone should have to take mandatory parenting classes before they can take a newborn home from the hospital.

7. I got wasted on Kamikazes so many times in my 20's that I can no longer eat or drink anything with lime in it without gagging.

8. I do not belive in God as taught by the Catholic church and I don't believe in heaven or hell.

9. If I dream that someone is pregnant, they are (or soon will be). I have never been wrong.

10. I wish I could like the games that Scott likes so we would have that in common but that is not going to happen. Ever :)

11. I love to bake and if I knew then what I know now I would have become a pastry chef after HS.

12. I didn't have enough credits to graduate HS (and I still don't). I am missing 1/2 credit in European History. They graduated me anyway and I found out about the missing 1/2 credit two years later.

13. I have a blog but the only ones who know about it (until now) are Scott and random strangers on the internet. Someone even commented on one of my posts once. It was about worms. And no, I'm not going to tell you where to find it.

14. My older daughter was due on my birthday.

15. I don't understand what the deal is with coffee and why people have to have so much of it. It's tastes awful.

16. I love the movie Grease 2. It's a really bad and cheesy movie but I can't help but watch it whenever it is on TV.

17. I wish we lived closer to family but it is doubtful that we ever will...see #3.

18. Coming up with 25 things for this list is hard because I am really not that interesting.

19. I love dogs. Other peoples dogs. My 6yo asked if we could get a dog and once I explained that she would have to pick up after it when it poops ( I certainly don't intent to do it) she decided it wasn't a good idea anymore.

20. I'm going to be painting my foyer this weekend. The color I chose is "Arabian Sands".

21. When I meet other parents who have kids the same age as mine I always think "Am I supposed to be that mature?". I'm a goofy mommy and wouldn't have it any other way.

22. I wish I had kept in touch with more people from HS. Hell, I wish I was more in touch with the people that I am still in touch with.

23. We lived in Salem MA for a year and Halloween was crazy! I would love to take the girls for Halloween when they are much older.

24. I love my cat. We adopted him over eight years ago and he is like a child to me. He's sitting on the arm of the couch purring in my ear right now.

25. I don't know how to use bleach. I'm 37 and seriously don't know how to use bleach. I know that it's supposed to go in with "whites" but what if there is a pair of undies with little pink flowers on it? Or a towel with blue stripes? I just don't get it.
