I used to eat blog slackers for dinner!

So I guess I'm full and I'm ready to blog again! The truth is that working ate up all my time!!!! So about 2 months ago I decided I wanted to stay home with my kiddos as a "SAHM" and rock the day away with the usual....blogging, facebooking, cartoons, poopy diapers, laundry, lunches, play dates and more facebooking..... yesterday was my last day! SMILE!

Rewind to Ohio by car for Christmas. Whew- my kids I have to brag are amazing travelers thanks goodness. As usual someone puked, we all cried, and we came home a little heavier than we went!!!




I came home and hit the office, well not "the office" just some orthodontic office. I began the life of a working mom, shuffling kids to and from school and home. This took some adjusting and just when I was getting used to it, we decided it was not "worth it" for me to work. By the time I paid for child care and taxes and such I made about $300/month working 4 days a week. This was not that exciting to figure out to say the least!


Let's see, my biggest accomplishment house wise during this time was we finally got the garage cleaned out and organized and we have two cars in our garage!!! WOOHOO!!! Hail storms are kinda popular in Texas and I was scared every time it rained we were going to end up with a car that resembled a pitted golf ball.


So I have not taken that many pictures either during this time! This is why I have a new testimony of blogging! It makes you stay on top of life events! How many pictures did I take during my fabulous cruise? FIVE! What, I'm a looser! I stole some from Mammy, thanks girlie for being on the ball with the ol CAME-RAH RAH RAH!!!

Look who's emerged from the bottom of my blog list. Even my husband (who loves to make fun of my blogging addiction but secretly follows my friends blogs religiously) Asked what happened to Lisa only two days ago.

Welcome back.

Hi there Lisa,
Finally a new blog. I thought you might have gone missing for a while. I'm glad that you made the choice to stay home with your boys. I worked once too for a while and realized that the grass wasn't greener on the other side. I was glad to see all of your pics from the cruise. How fun! Did you hear that my brother Devin is finally getting married? We are all so excited. He is getting married on March 14th. It was great to see an updated blog.
Love ya, Alicia.

I've been wondering where you've been! Good to see you are back. I'm so jealous of your cruise, you lucky duck!

Welcome back! You have been missed! Congrats on leaving your job.... I don't blame you for feeling it isn't worth it. Part of the reason I don't work...I just wouldn't earn enough.
