Uhhh, not quite!

Did a LOT of crockpot cooking, but not much else. There's always tomorrow!

Chipper!?!?!?

That's how my dear friend Lori described me today. Who on earth would describe me as "chipper"? Well, Lori, obviously, but probably not many others. The funny thing is, I actually do feel kinda chipper. Now, don't get nervous, I won't be skipping around spreading love and good cheer or anything, but I just might get through today without threatening to hit somebody!

So, today Erin & I will probably do something cool like paint, take a bath, and go to Target. And don't tell anybody, but I may actually put Tim's laundry away for him too~hope he doesn't get too used to this good wife/ good life!

Where am I???

Well, these past few weeks have been challenging. Challenging a la Dorothy waking up in Oz, challenging. My head is still spinning from all the celebrations and storms. So, please excuse my short post, but I will be back. I just need to find my ruby shoes and click my heels together...there's nothing like routine, there's nothing like routine....

Cutie

Here is a cute pic I took of Erin with my cell phone.

I am just testing this. I am hoping it actually posts. Katy believes in me, so I'm going to believe too! It worked for the Red Sox!

Hmmm... I was able to do it no problem...

Writer's block? Disorganized? Lazy? You decide!

Pick a lame excuse for my lack of attention to my blog! Even though it's been like, 3 months, it STILL gets more attention than some of the housework around here!

What have we been so busy doing, you ask? I am not sure. I do know I can keep myself very busy avoiding mundane tasks. A special talent, if I may brag a bit!

Jake kicked butt at soccer & got an awesome report card, so that's really KEWL!
Erin is growing like a weed and talking and climbing and all that groovy toddler stuff. She is also into saying "Nope!" and collapsing on the floor when you say "Nope" to her.
Tim is working hard to keep us from living in our cars, even traveling 2 hours to NH a couple of days a week.

I am currently a freshman at MWCC, slaving under the heavy load of one class. I will be a freshman for the foreseeable future, as I probably have 2 years before I finish all my classes. My goal is to graduate at least when Jake does. No need to rush right? Life is a jouney, right? RIGHT???
I also work a coupla mornings at the gym daycare. It's amazing how much cooler my kids are than a lot of other people's kids are. I hope they aren't too jealous!

So, I hope the months of waiting with bated breath for an update have been worth it. Love yazzzz!

(ps I DID have to look up the correct use of 'bated'. It comes from abate - your welcome)

Well..

I at least managed to get my new, super-dee-duper, awesome sig that Lisa made, on this site.

Why don't they make it easier to get pics on here....like copy n paste? You know, for the URL challenged.

Spent our morning at the gym with a motley crew of 4 y/o boys. Luckily, nobody got hurt! I am surprised I don't have vertigo from all the eye rolling I did. I have a feeling that the tone in my voice isn't audible to the male species. It certainly would explain why there is always a trail of dirty socks from the front door to everywhere. Hmmm....

I HAVE decided to do Slattery's (a bar/restaurant) Turkey Trot! It's a 5 mile (not 5k) run/walk. I am going to walk, because there are parts of my body that just should be slamming up & down, if you catch my drift. I started my training with an incredibly taxing 1 mile walk on a treadmill. It was really challenging because I really just wanted to hang out with my friend Liz & gossip. Liz & I crack ourselves up!!! We are hoping to make each other laugh someday.

Well, I can feel hypothermia setting in to my typing fingers, so I am off to add layer upon layer of my husbands clothes. I may be back later. I'm crazy like that.

Toodles peeps!

OMG

3 followers?


Who KNEW sitting at home, in the corner, writing stupid things, would finally make me popular!


I would like to take a minute right now, before I scare people off, to thank my minions. Without you, I'd be left enjoying my genius alone. (is it bad I had double check my spelling of 'genius'?)


Keep checking back. I may actually figure out how to put pic of the family on here!

Tune in later kids. I'm RANDOM!

Day 1

So, I today is my 14th anniversary of being a mom. I have never done anything this long in my life, except live, so I feel pretty good about that.

I thought it was a good day to start something new, and since I can just sit at my computer to do this, it seems to be a great fit for my inactive lifestyle. (and all my friends are doing it, so I don't want to be left out.)

So tune in & see what the Coughlan/Sinkus clan is up to! You know you wanna!
