Back by popular demand!

So much for my goal to update this blog at least once a week! I promise I'll get better after this weekend (and my diet starts Monday, too)! haha

Lots of things that I should have been talking about on here though!

Let's start with Isaac... he DID give up his pacifier! He's asked for a handful of times in the last few weeks. We've just told him, "sorry, you threw it away" and he seems to accept that! YEAH! Bedtime hasn't been quite as easy, but it's getting better each day! It was almost like it really took a couple weeks for it to set in. He started fighting bedtime and crying... Andrew said it was the fight we should have had two weeks before that. But, he's getting better, the last couple of nights have been perfect!

Potty training isn't going quite as well. He sits on the silly thing, but so far hasn't had much luck! Hopefully once I'm off work we can really work on it a little more!

Friday is my last day!!!!!! I'm so excited! I've got a few other things up my sleeve to bring in a little extra cash too!

So there's a little window in to our world! I really do intend to post more often now that I should have a little more time. You know, in between diaper changes, feedings, breaking up fights, laundry, and cleaning!

The Countdown Begins

60 days!

In just two months, I get to transform from "home visitor", aka traveling preschool teacher, to "SUPERMOM", aka stay at home mom. This will be our second attempt at this transformation. When I had our first son at the end of 2005, we thought I'd be able to stay home with him. It didn't work out so great. Admittedly, I not sure I tried my hardest at it. Live and learn.

So, two years later, we've made a lot of changes. We had another baby boy in 2006, sold our cars (and made nothing), sold our house (and also made nothing), and moved back to the small town I grew up in. We're learning to live more frugally. Some days it's working better then others. But, it's working well enough that we're going to give single income another try.

It appears that the rumor mill at work has found out that I don't plan to return in the fall. I guess that makes it official. Yeah!
