A new year, a new day

So 2008 has begun..... so much to do this year.... so much to change.....

I'm getting married in oct.... about 9 months to go and i haven't done as much as i was hoping i'd have done by now.... i need to buckle down and start making decisions.  The software has been on stand still for way too long, and the extra income we'd make is really enticing.... just not enough to get jim and i off our asses and work on it.  of course the work we already did is lost ( at least for now) with the death of our hard drive. 

i'm on the dieting wheel - and have been doing fairly good.... 32 lbs in 6 months isn't too shabby, considering i didn't really do anything except nursing.  I'm itching for another baby..... i just don't feel like our family is complete yet ...... but i'm weary about the weight gain again.  It crushed what self esteem i had......and now that i'm building it back up, i'm also gearing up to knock it down again..... sigh..... is this what i signed up for?

quin is doing amazing..... he's gaining words by the day and his newest is 'i'm sorry mom' - its so cute, and he says it at the right times.....of course this also brings on the 'no, mine' and the constant 'it's broken' in regards to anything and everything... but i can deal with that if it means he is catching up verbally to his age peers.....  he's doing pretty good in the big boy bed - i've noticed that he wakes up between 2 and 3 am every morning ( well almost every morning) - i can usually get him back to sleep - if i'm awake... if i'm asleep, he just crawls into bed with us and passes back out.  we are going to attack potty training head on this week...... ought to be fun!

the forum is doing pretty amazing..... lots of members, lots of posts..... no drama.... it's been more than i could ever ask for.... i'm working on so much bejhind the scenes, that i think i'm spreading myself too thin.... so my new years resolution for the board is to take it one thing at a time, and to dedicate at least an hour a day ( if not more) to getting my list complete.  i'm not going to get into it much because it'll just make me get all flustered and scattered again lol 

jim and i are doing great.... as the new year rolled around, and my drunken birthday, i realized that we need to better ourselves health wise - both physical and mental.  i'm cooking healthier whether he likes it or not ( and right now he is hanging in there) - and we need to start going out at least once a month alone.... his parents are always ready and willing to take the little man for the night, so we need to use and abuse it - 

ok well the boy is calling and i have some buddies to add to this new bloggity blog lol let's see if i can post at least once a week lol
