I'm doing 27 things
1. It is really on my mind lately that I only have two weeks until I return to work. Oh, why don’t we live across the river in Canada so I could have a year off?! I am having fun figuring out the new schedule and looking forward to the routine of work, though. (sick, I know, I’m really anal!)
2. I got Andrew dressed before he left his room in the morning. We’ve gotten in the bad habit of letting him watch Curious George in his PJs and then having massive fits when he needs to get dressed. I want him dressed before tv when I go to work. It went wonderfully this morning…
3. Extra snuggles while feeding Claire. Soon enough, I’ll only be able to give her one or two bottles a day. I might be fighting with her dad for the 9pm bottle, but I know the 5 am is all mine:)

How I did it: When I got married, I had about $20,000 in credit card debt. It accumulated from the 10 months I had a house payment and rent to pay. It also accumulated from living beyond my means when I first moved to the big city. The group I hung out with went to a lot of movies, concerts, and games.I took out the Home Equity Line of Credit after our marriage. I paid at minimum $400/month towards it. Some months I paid $… Read how I did it…
How I did it: It was easier when I could do it at work:0 I just log in every day for my quick entry. The people that I've met through this goal are incredible and supportive. I can't believe they want 150 words for this. Jeez. How picky. I'm feeling like I'm writing a report for school. Why do they need 150 words. I'm just typing to fill in the requirement. Read how I did it…
How I did it: The menu was the hardest part. It kept changing on me. I also had to work that morning, so Mom had to start the turkey and Barry did the potatoes. It turned out really well, though. Read how I did it…
See all "How I Did It" stories...
1. The outpouring of love for my younger cousin, Nikki. She had a molar pregnancy and had to have a D&C today. We are waiting to see if it’s all cleared up and hoping it isn’t cancerous. Scary and heartwrenching. I can’t imagine loosing a pregnancy.
2. Playdate with X and his baby brother, L. When X was leaving, Andrew asked if he could take his nap and climbed into bed! I told LeeAnn they could come over any time!
3. After nap, I wanted to take A to the teacher store to pick out reward stickers. (we need to fix the am fits). Andrew did not want to go. To the toy store. Are you crazy, boy? It was so funny!
1. Claire’s 2month checkup. 10 lbs 14oz. 50 percentile. I’m very pleased, but a little surprised. She doesn’t seem that big. Dr also agreed we can drop the midnight bottle!
2. Megan was here to watch Claire while I ran errands. I only managed to ship a package before i got a call with Claire screaming in the background. I’m glad M called me instead of them both suffering. (she was hungry an hour early:)
3. Discussing the need for a date night. Trying tofigure out who to trust with both kids.
