January 2011

Wow! It's 2011 and so far RJ has had croup and I have come down with a nasty cold and feel rather fluish. At least no hospital visits so far, just an urgent care visit last week for RJ. Other than that, I am finding success with my new little hobby of crafting with the cricut. I haven't made a scrapbook page yet, but I have made a handful of cards. Scott was nice enough to let me buy a base of supplies to start up my hobby, i.e. a stamp set, ink, envelopes, paper, glue, cello bags, etc. I am having fun with it. I tried setting up RJ's room for him to play in, while I crafted, but that did not go over so well. I guess I will while he is napping and at night. Of course, there are so many cricut cartridges that I want that would help me be more creative, but I will use what I have and see what I come up with. I need to take pictures of my cards and post them on here. After seeing so many crafting blogs, I don't see why I can't start one up myself. So this may become my crafting blog. We will see.

A Year and A Half Later...

So, apparently blogging isn't my thing, or at least is hasn't been the last year and a half. I am going to try and be better this coming year. I am resolving to become more engaged in 2011. "Santa" is bringing me something that will hopefully help me with my resolution. I am quite excited about it and I feel that I am ready to enter the whole world of...do I dare say the word... crafting. Yes, I am getting a Cricut and a few cartridges for Christmas and I have no idea what awaits me. I don't want to get overwhelmed with stuff because there is so much out there, but I will start small and simple.

As for the last year and a half, lots has happened - here's a summary:

We went to DisneyLand four times
Scott had his appendix out
RJ broke his leg and had a cast for 6 weeks
I had a gall bladder attack, had it removed then developed pancreatitis and was in the hospital for a couple days
I also had to have a tube removed
So YEAH for 2010, good thing it is almost over.

Until next time - over and out!

A Little Slow

So, I am a little slow with the blogging. I obviously haven't been doing it everyday. I have tried to upload a pic, but I am lame and couldn't figure it out. I will keep trying. This week I am getting ready for our family trip to DisneyLand. I just got done cleaning the shower - GROSS!!! It had been far too long. I still haven't dared the drain yet. I think I will have Scott take care of that for me. The shower took me two days. Tomorrow will be the bathtub. As long as I can figure out what to do with the humidifier filter that has been living there. Before a trip, I always stress about having a clean house, just in case something happens to us and other people have to come in and take care of all our stuff. It's pyschotic thinking I know - oh well. I am so excited for the trip. It is going to be so much fun with a new baby - a whole new experience for me. I will learn how to conquer the park with a stroller. I have to break the kid in so he will be able to keep up with me when he gets older. We will see if we can keep our routine schedule, I am keeping a positive attitude that we can do it. I will be reporting back.

Mollie's First Blog

Wow! I can't believe I am blogging. I have never done this before so we will see how it goes. It is my 5th anniversary today. Scott and I almost forgot this morning. Hopefully we will be able to go out to dinner tonight. With or without baby will work. Of course it would be nice for just the two of us, but we found out we were pregnant with RJ a year ago today, so I guess it would be appropriate for him to come along. I am just wanting to lounge around the house all day - I have succeeded so far. RJ has been napping for a few hours, but he is beginning to stir. I am happy that we shouldn't have any rain or snow this week. I am really ready for Spring/Summer to finally be here. We are leaving for DisneyLand in a couple of weeks and can't wait. It is going to be a great vacation. I think I will post this much and figure out some more stuff with this blogging craze.
