Tough Tuesday!

So I started this blog to vent, share, and chronicle my life as a SAHM. It has been much harder to stay organized and on top of life. So finding the time to update my blog has fallen by the wayside. But I'm determined to keep it going.

I would describe my day as "Tough Tuesday". My house is a complete disaster! I feel like all I do is pick up clothes, toys, and shoes. I have done enough dishes to make me think there are an additional four people living somewhere in my house. It seems that I am cleaning the house EVERYDAY as if we had a party the day before! But the pay-off to that, is my family is happy and my two year old son has a blast throughout the day. But with all that being said, I still crave a clean house. So I have a question for you...how do you stay organized? Any tips and tricks I should try?

I found this article "100 Ways to Get Organized". They all sound promising, but the problem comes when it's time to actually implement the organization tools...LoL!

Well it is 1:19am and I not even the least bit tired! Dad is feeding the baby and watching the corniest movie of all time! But it's time to get some beauty rest. Which I have been slacking on! So tomorrow I will spend some time beauty tips and ways to pamper yourself.

Until Later

Bed time...

So it's 12:10 PST. Both of my kids are asleep, so that means I should be too....but no such luck!

I am so happy to be off of bed rest, I almost have the urge to give myself a much needed facial or drink some tea and read a book. However, I just don't think I'll be awake much longer. I have put the kids to bed, washed my face, flossed my teeth and I'm spent!

I had plans to spend time with my blog, but I'll add that to tomorrows to-do list! :)

I'm officially a Mommy of two!!

I have been slacking the last couple of months. But I have managed to tweet over 2000 times...LoL! I know that is no excuse, but being on bed rest was not always easy or comfortable. So I didn't spend a lot of time on my desktop or laptop. But I have news....Our second son was born!! Jaxon Alexander was born July 15, 2009 at 7 lbs 1 oz and 18 inches long. I made it to 37 weeks and he was just as perfect as I'd imagined!

So now the real fun begins....SAHM to two children, and one man who sometimes may as well be my third child, hmph!

I have been home for a total of four days and I am a lot more sore than I remember with my son. Yet I still find time to clean up after myself and others, who shsll remain nameless. So now the real challenge begins...how do I maintain a stress free, clean household, still take time for myself, and find the to nurture my relationship. In just four days, I have not touched the surface of these parts of my life. But I'm sure as soon as I get the "hang" of it, it will be time for the man to leave and serve Our Country....

Well that is my update in a nutshell...right now I am on my bed with my two year old son watching Noggin, new baby is sleeping, and honey is making dinner...ahh if all nights were this calm and peaceful...

I look forward to my journey with the "world" or "big brother" watching....

Ciao!
