Long time, no blog...

I get asked all the time..."Do you Facebook?", "Twitter?", "blog?".  Simply, "no", "sometimes", "not enough". I "facebook" thru my BFF, she's usually at work, so browsing the site thru her is no biggie. I "tweet" all the time, lately. I like having Regis_and_Kelly, Brent Spiner, and Mark Consuelos on my "tweet" list. There's some great scrapbookers there, as well. I think the best part is having inside access to the Webkinz World thru the Webkinz Insider. LOL Have to know when a "rare" item will be sold in Arte's Curio Shop!! (Yep, I'm a big kid at heart!)

It's been a strange summer weather wise. Not hot & humid enough to swim, but pleasant, so long as the activity of the day doesn't revovle around the swimming pool. DH broke down and purchased one of those Intex blue pools for the boys- of course, I found it on sale and insisted we have one- and for the most part, my little guy was the happiest about the whole thing. Until the weather was cool...MOST of the summer. We did have our fun days and DH must have been pleasantly surprised that I'm a little OCD with the whole pool cleaning thing. In fact, if we play our cards right, the tax return will buy the boys a 'real' pool next year.

Big news: I got to go to Disney World, BY MYSELF. No husband, no kids. Ok, I did ask my other BFF to join me. She's a Disney junkie, just like me, and jumped at the chance to go- No husband, no kids. Did I mention NO husband and NO kids? Best vacation EVER!! While I love my boys to death, being kidless @ Disney, was just too much fun. Besides, they get to tag along in a couple months when we take our family vacation. Yep, another DISNEY vacation. Two in one year!! WAH-HOO!! I'm a lucky girl.

I'm participating in Shimelle's 'Learn Something New Everyday'. Yes, I remember how well my "Journal my Christmas" didn't turn out...so I'm hoping I learned something...I'll complete this task somehow. LOL

Ha- that's why I'm blogging. To keep track of the prompts, maybe tag a photo a day...I can dream, can't I???

So...what did I learn today? Don't expect someone else to know the value of something, if you don't tell them what to expect ahead of time. In other words, don't expect a lot of people...you won't be disappointed.

After thinking on it for sometime this morning, I think what I learned yesterday was how much I love sleeping in. With my little bundle beside me. Cuddling. I love having his little hand brush up against my hair or my face when he rolls over. He's just so content. I'll certainly miss this the most as he gets older. Yes, sometimes he's just a little 'heater' and I spend half the night moving to the other side of the bed- getting next to no sleep trying to get comfy- but, I honestly don't mind it because he's only little once. I also enjoy getting hugs from my oldest. He's always saying "hug, mom!" with his wirey little arms spread so wide. Just love it. He can be such an ornery little character (takes after his dad), but he's just a sweet kid. Wish he didn't take after his dad so much sometimes.
