Whoa, that was a long Hiatus!

Ok, most of you probably don't even care, but sorry I have been away so long!

Things have been HECTIC to say the least. My Mom has been in the hospital, and it has just become frustrating. The hospital she is in SUCKS. Honestly, it drives me batty. It is where I had my baby. I am never going back there again, and I really wish she was not there right now! But she is. Hopefully today we will have some better information on what is going on.

I started my home based business, so I am now officially a WAHM, not a SAHM. Interesting. I have been working my butt off, and it is hard. I feel like not much gets accomplished because by the time I get started into something I get an interruption- like Maddie waking up. But, it is what it is. Then at night, I try to get stuff done after Maddie goes to bed, and then I have a lonely whiny husband. I am not a huge TV watcher- I have a few shows that I do not want to miss- like Brothers and Sisters, Biggest Loser, and maybe one or two more. BUT, DJ insists that I watch TV with him. And if I try to take out some reading, or catalogs to put labels on, he STILL complains that I am not "watching TV" with him. Hmmm, I laugh at the jokes, I am sitting right next to him. Yes, I am multi-tasking, but what does he care as long as I am there and not in the computer room? I don't get it. Plus, if I am just sitting there, I am usually bothering him to scratch my back. You would think he would be happy that I am not bugging him to do that. To my defense, if we do a weekend movie night, then yes, I totally leave that up to just cuddling, and no reading or doing other things. So I think it is all good.

Starting up the business is the hardest, and I am sure everything will fall into place. However, I wanted to do a lot of shows in my first 30 days, and I am about 7 behind. I am hoping that in the next couple of days and from my first few shows, I will book up. My first 30 days ends on 3/20. The other thing that is hard is that I am working this right now within my circle of family and friends. That is where you have to start. I can't wait until I am out of that circle (for the most part) and onto my customer base. I am so excited for this new venture though. I really hopes it turns out for the best. I am not stressing over it. I am just going to let life happen and see where this goes. I feel like God will see to it that what is meant to be for me and my family will be! And I am ok with that.

That reminds me, I need to go back to church! The last time I was there was for Maddie's baptism. Grr, going to church is like working out for me. I love it when I am there, feel great afterwards, but getting there is the challenge. ANd to be honest, I do not do enough of either. :(

Maddie, Maddie, is doing wonderfully! She is like a pre toddler, and not like a baby at all anymore. Except she will ALWAYS be my baby! She laughs, claps, dances, she lets you know when she does not like or want something. She is great! She shows huge preference for the men in her life. She flirts, she fusses, she is wonderful!!!!!

I will post some more pics/videos later. And I will try not to be away so long this time.

FYI, I think I will be changing my blog over in the next few weeks. I will explain more later. It has something to do with my new business, my new blog, and some other things. I know, I am being totally vague. :)

Ooooh, mysterious! :) It's so cute that Maddie is a little flirt. Liam's the same way with the ladies. I watched the video of her clapping and shaking her head. Too, too cute! She's amazing!
