holy hot

wow, it has been hot here. we had record temps all across the state on friday and saturday wasn't any cooler. so this morning we tried out a new park that has a splash feature. it was like a concrete slab about the size of a basketball court with giant water fountains. the kids liked it. our daughter was of course very cautions of everything because that is how she is going to liver her life but our son seemed to really have fun. he actually would walk through the giant water fountains, holding on to mommy or daddy's had a t all times but he enjoyed it. it was pretty funny watching some of the other kids. one of the water stations was a giant pole with triangle shaped buckets hanging that would dump out when they filled with water. so the parents would stand under them and the kids, unsuspecting, would hang out and get pummeled by he water falling down on them. one little girl lost her bikini bottom when the water feel down. we will definatly be heading back to this park. and what a lazy afternoon, did not accomplish anything. i like to tell myself i am creating life when i feel lazy like this. at least i am doing something.

and the verdict is...

so, i'm going for it. stay at home mommyhood here i come! had a meeitng with my employers, it went great, which was to be expected. now the fun task of telling my coworkers. maybe i can cry each time i break the news, that would be fun, i love to cry. this will be good, i'm really excited about the option to stay at home with babies. anyway, speaking of babies, got to go referee a match between a bowl of oatmeal and a 19 month old.

so, what now

wow, haven't visited here in a while. i actually had to retrieve my password to get on here, i even forgot the name of my blog. busy lately...? so, what have i been up to? getting preggo with number three, raising two toddlers, working almost full time. keeping myself busy i guess.
now i'm just biding my time trying to decide what the next step will be for me, go back to work after number three or stay at home and be a SAHM. any advice out there? tough call, rewards on both sides of this one. love my job, love my kids. get sick of my job sometimes, get sick of my kids sometimes. i guess one deciding factor is that our daycare costs just went up, a lot. and you can always come back to work... right. i don't know anyone who regrets staying home to raise kids. i really feel like i'm missing out a bit on some of their growing up. one's three and the other is 19 months, they are pretty fun right now. although the three year old drives us insane some times, i like to tell myself that she is just very strong willed and smart and independent, yah, something like that :-) anyway, i'll come visit again soon. time to go night-night!

all those wasted english classes

and what do i do... get in on the blog bandwagon. even though i read blogs will be out in the next year. oh well, i'd like to actually use this as a way to just write more. you get out of college, work for lots of years and never have to write anything again. and all those years of struggling through English and composition classes... well, more to come. i want to see how all this looks live. tootles.
