Its been forever since I last posted. I've been so busy living day to day that I haven't had time to sit and think about what might interest everyone. Then I realized that I shouldn't be putting off writing just because what fustrates me or bugs me wouldn't interest anyone else. I should post because it wil help relieve my stress and anxiety too.
I feel like I've been cooped in my home for too long. I volunteered as a face painter at childrens day yesterday and it felt so good not being on the couch at home. I wish I knew more people who actually had time to go out. I've been wanting to go to sea world again for a while now. I just think it would be fun going with more people..not just jerry hayden and I. the problem is all my friends either work weekends or have a kazillion kids who have their own schedules and cant go. anyone out there interested?
I feel huge lately. It doesn't help when an old neighbor points out that I "used to be so much skinnier". I just don't feel right when haydens in daycare all day then I pick him up to just put him in another day care to work out. Then we finally get home and I have only an hour and a half before hayden goes to sleep. It shouldn't be like that. I should be raising my baby not day care workers.
Hayden has started saying "no" to everything I say. "Give your shoes to daddy" "no." "Hayden I'm not going to tell you again" "no. No. *takes off running*" how do I stop it? Its driving me nuts.
Finally, I've been drained all month. Cooking sounds like torture. I've barely cooked and have tried to get excited about it but I fall short. Its to the point that id rather not eat.
I'm going to HEB hopefully something will stand out and get me pumped to starrt cooking.

Aah! I am sorry! That just stinks!
I completely know how you feel about taking the time away to work out. Do you have an area in your house you could put a treadmill or something? There are some good buys on Craigslist.
Uhmmm... About those "no's".... Well, I can tell you that it will eventually stop. Yes, it will. I promise. It just might take until he is three, or maybe five. Well, truth be told, sometimes it lasts until they are 18. Sorry!
I love that you blogged! I have really missed you!
When we get back from NYC, We'd love to go to Sea World with you!
I am so glad you are blogging again. Just sorry it took the blahs to get you back in blogworld.
Sorry about those "terrible twos"--they do come to an end. Just consider it a normal part of developement and don't take it personally (but you still have to address it, which is sure no fun). Maybe it helps to know every Mom in the world goes through this. I am sad you are so worn out. You work so hard and put so much into your job. Maybe somedays you should just put Hayden in his stroller and go walking. Pushing that big boy and walking should count for good exercise. And you can always come over here and work out in our garage on our stuff and let Gema take care of Hayden....And I would love to go to Sea World, too. I think a fun summer adventure would be to check out all the different "swimming holes" in the Hill Country. Just take a picnic lunch and head out.
Please keep blogging. I have missed you terribly.
Agree with all said. Twos are hard in a different sort of way from anything else. You can feel like such a failure as a mother. But, in reality it is a great time to establish your rules and guidelines in a loving way. It is easier now to help him see he must obey than later. But be patient as he probably will appear not to listen anyway. But he is. Kiss and hug that boy a lot before you know it he will be three and four and fourteen...and this is the perfect time for him to see that his mommy loves him dearly.
Pushing a stroller burns 20% more calories. And! You are not big. Ignore neighbors who talk like that.
I'd like to go to the San Antonio Zoo. Are you interested in that? I'm tired of Sea World, but I'm ready for the zoo! Let me know.
