Welcome to Motherhood... this is my online journal to share my experiences.

The last 7 years have been filled with the antics of my precious little man Sean. Now it will be the fun filled stories of not only my continued journey through motherhood, but Sean's journey as a big brother, and seeing the world through Andrew's eyes.

You Must Have So Much Time On Your Hands!

I don't know why people who work think stay at home moms have SO much time on their hands. I think I've worked harder and longer hours in the last 9 months than in the last 15 years at a paying job.

Now granted I am homeschooling my oldest son and I have a 9 month old baby. I am literally working 24/7! I get up most mornings between 6-7am and start the Multitasking Olympics of getting myself and my two boys up, fed and dressed. By 9am the three of us are dressed, fed, and ready to start the day... I've probably done the dishes, some laundry, picked up stuff around the house, etc. Then we start school. Do you have any idea the under taking teaching your own child while caring for a baby is? One word... INSANE!

So as midnight quickly approaches... I debate whether to do more laundry or do absolutely nothing on the couch :s

31st Fort Worth International Taekwondo Championship

Sean competed for the first time since he was 5 and new to Taekwondo. He sparred against a national champion in his division that's been competing for the last 2 years, and his parents are a sparring and forms coach. When the first round ended Sean was down 1-5, and finished the second round 6-11. He managed to gain 5 more points and walked away with 3rd place.

We are SO proud of him. He will be competing alot next year because he wants to go to Nationals in the summer, which will be held in Dallas for the first time. His goal is to come home with a gold medal. He will have to train hard, because next year he will likely be competing as a red belt.

Update on Andrew

Well it's been 2-1/2 months since I've blogged, but if you're following me on Facebook you get a glimpse of day to day life around here. Andrew is sitting up and he's on the verge of crawling. Boy is life going to change when that happens. He's eating 3 jars of food a day and still pretty much sleeping through the night. Here is a picture of the bundle of cuteness from today...

Plastic Bag Holders

My friend Kimberly shared this post and thought it was a brilliant idea. Now I have something to do with all those empty wet wipes containers, instead of just throwing them in the recycle bin.

LOVE This Picture

I LOVE this picture of Andrew. He has the prettiest eyes. I have no idea how both my boys ended up with LONG lashes. I'm sure if I had girls they wouldn't be as long as these are.
