I sure have been busy. Too busy to write in my blog. Ha! Not really, just too lazy. I guess I can start where I left off or some events I skipped. I think you can judge whether they are the best or the worst.
Dressing your kids up like food for Halloween may not be such a good idea. You just get the same jokes over and over again. Everyone is looking at you, and grown ups act like kids and try to eat your kids! It was just insane to walk down the street and one person could not pass us up with out saying something. Grrr! LOL Actually, I'm kidding! That's exactly why I dressed them that way in the first place. My sons were so adorable for Halloween and I always want them to get major attention. Its my job. I'm sure you would have had a comment or two yourself. Just take a look!
My birthday was November 17th. I met up with some of my friends that I met on the internet. I know what your thinking, I'm a loser right? Um...No! I have known these moms for a couple of years and we thought it would be fun to let our kids meet up and play. It was really fun, although I'm sure me and my weird family scared them away and we may never see them again :D
Christmas was great. My boys got plenty of toys. Although I fool myself every year into thinking that they really NEED lots of toys. Some how it makes me feel better when the tree has many gifts under it. When will I ever learn that they can care less. My husband and I always spend the entire morning assembling things that either don't work, needs way more batteries than we have, or essentially cost more than a tank of gas. And all of this hassle for what? For my boys to throw it in the toy box with last years junk. "Why do I even bother"-Charlie Brown
The ultimate insult of 2007 appropriately happened on the last day. My husband and I were in the store with the boys. We were getting some groceries and two bottles of wine to celebrate the new year. When the cashier checked us out, I got my I.D. ready. She scanned the bottles of wine and the register actually asks for I.D. or if the person looks old enough. She didn't ask us one thing. She just clicked the button. Now I know I am well over 21, but it has come to my attention that when you are no longer carded, youth is slowly but surely slipping away from your face! (I'm only 26!)
For 2008 I have vowed to give the monster a bath every night no matter how many times I have wiped his entire body down with baby wipes. Note to self: Wiping your child down with baby wipes is not considered a bath.
I have also assured myself that I should let go of things in my life that are not a positive influence, like bills! However, even when the year changes those suckers keep following you.
2008 shall be my year to improve. I intend to improve my appearance, if I have time to blog then I can take more time for myself. Us moms sometimes use our kids as our excuse! I intend to improve my social life. The people that are not "checking" for me, I will no longer be checking for. Although, that will include just about everyone I know except those 3 crazy people I live with. Maybe I should rethink that one. :\ And most of all improve my financial situation and never pass up on a deal! My husband has definitely started the year off right. This is what he brought home today.

Your family wasn't weird! I had so much fun meeting Aseel & You. And Ashley asks nearly every day when we are going to go back to Toddlerville to play with her friends.
