Oh motivation where art thou?

My motivation is MIA today. I have absolutely no motivation to clean today at all. It doesn't help that the hubs isn't here....he's usually such a big help. He's working everyday until the 18th, which I really hate because he won't be spending much time with me or the kids. He called me about 30 mins ago and its so cold that the mud is freezing before they can dump it at the top of the line. When he left he had 4 pairs of pants on, two pairs of socks, 5 shirts and 2 pairs of gloves on. I feel so bad for him having to work in this cold weather.

Thursday was my first day of school and it was awesome. My teacher is great, she's never had a student ever fail and she uses her grant money to give to us to get ASCP certified. She also told us that if we are CNA's she'll help us get ER Tech certified, which is alot more money AND exactly what I want to do. So I have to get my CNA recertified so that I can get my ER Tech certification. The only down side to the class is that in 5 weeks when clinicals start I'll be clinicals Monday, Wednesday and Friday AND going to school Tues and Thursday, so all of the time I have home with the kids is definitely going to get cut in half. My sister is supposed to watch K for my while I do school and clinicals but I think I'm going to see if I qualify for daycare assistance and see if I can get her into a good daycare. She's never been in a daycare again and she's really really smart and I think a preschool would help her get even smarter. Another good thing about this class is the teacher helps us find employment after we graduate. OoOoOoOoOo and before the class ends I get to file and intent to graduate and I get to walk with the class of 2009-2010. We don't have to if we don't want to but I really want to. Its kind of a right of passage...ya know?

So I've been looking at stuff for KK's Birthday party next month on the 20th. I'm so excited and she's even more excited. She's been telling me ever since J's party in November that she wants a 'Pinkerbell Erfday Party", so I've got a friend of mine that makes fondant and buttercream cakes and she's making K a fondant birthday cake.

I have to buy the topper but isn't it beautiful? We've got the Life Center at the Northside Baptist Church reserved for it and I'm going to decorate it with some of the Tinkerbell party supplies from Party City. I don't think I'll get the cups or plates, I think I'll just get purple and green plates but I think I'll get the table cover, banners and things like that. We'll have juice boxes for drinks so I won't need the cups.

So I've gone a WEEK without ANY soda. And besides some of the kids juice I've drank nothing but water and besides the headache and grumpiness I do feel better. I even think my stomach has gotten a little smaller already. I'm trying to quit carbs also, but its proving a little harder than I thought. I love love love bread and I've cheated a few times. LOL But I'm trying and I'll do this. Is anyone else out there trying to lose weight? I think I'm going to get the Wii Active. :-)

Well I think I'm going to FIND my motivation and do something about this house. Talk to you guys later.

Wow its been awhile

Actually to say its been awhile is not even half of it. Nah....I have neglected this poor blog, but here I am. Why not live in the future huh?

So its 2010 and alot has happened since I last posted. I am now a full time mommy and love it. I got laid off back in September and bc its cheaper for me to stay home than to work my husband and I decided that I'd just stay home with the baby. I absolutely love it bc when I had KK I went back to work when she was 4 weeks old so we missed alot of the bonding that alot of mothers get with their newborns. I did breastfeed but still its difficult when you work. I've been home since September and I've got KK completely potty trained, J's doing real well in school(he's in first grade now) and he's learning how to read and to do math, KK can count to 10 and I'm trying to teach her her colors. Right now tho everything is either Pink or Green.....her favorite colors lol. They are so big, she'll be turning three in February and it breaks my heart. Where did my little bitty baby go? She's so grown and talk sooo much. She can hold a conversation like an adult and is as quick as they come. J turned 7 in November, it's hard to believe that in three years he'll be 10!!! He's already got attitude, but we're working on it.

Along with the whole switch to being a SAHM I got a call Monday saying that someone had dropped out of the phlebotomy program and that on the list of alternates my name was next!! I went yesterday and registered for classes, tomorrow I start. I'm so excited. I want to work in a health field somewhere. I'd really like to get my Respiratory Therapy certification, but this is just a foot in the door. With this I can start working in a hospital and then hopefully go back to school to get my certification. My first class is tomorrow from 2:30pm-6:00pm, I can't wait. I'll update tomorrow night and tell you how it went.

Um.....I cant really think of too much more. I'll upload some more pictures later.
