March 2, 11. Alot of things are this month, ct, tests and lots of overhang and emotion. kinda wish this month would start until next month, but maybe it is possible i just wont worry about it much.

brody is getting so big. he counted to ten yesterday, im so proud of him. he has been trying to work on his numbers. he has a hard time with them. but im glad that he finally got them down. today is a clean/laundry day. i have exactly 4 hours to do all this. i gave myself a limit of 4 hours, because, frankly i wont let myself waste a whole day of cleaning. so off i go, to vacuum....

trying to decide if I really should go to Eugene or not. I miss my family tons. Even though I have 3 days off a week, I still dont hardly find the time off enough time to do alot. Which makes me stick around here for days. I do have alot of laundry to catch up on and I really feel like I should do that first.

We are all getting over being sick, im really thankful for that. We still have a couple of plugged noses but overrall, im happy that its almost all the way gone!

Another thing to do this year is get brody signed up for preschool. He will be 4 this year, and I would love it for him to have some more interaction with kids. He use to have tons of interaction and now he is very limited due to chris and I's working schedule. He asks if he can go to school all the time, and I feel bad that I haven't enrolled him sooner. Better late than never I should say.

Its been awhile, almost a year according to this. Brody is growing large, he is taller than my waist... Im guessing he weights about 40lbs... he is in size 5T or size 6 in boys clothes! He is size 11, and he is a ham! He is just so adorable, and talking alot better than he use to. I guess that is what happens when you grow up, its hard to imagine things going by so fast and then in a blink of an eye they are graduating.

Here is to a good and prosperous year, of 2011. I myself, hope to accomplish more than I did this year which will be almost impossible. But, im willing to try. Its been a busy one.

To the one who has it all: you are not perfect. Your mother did not have you on a 20K gold bed, you didn't enter this world to be a perfectionist, to insult one or to think your better than one. May I state that it is seriously ok to live the life you have been given. But don't drag it out, don't debate, don't show off your belongings... everyone already knows you have it all so there is no need.

In a celebrity world, I guess what you have is what makes things right. I must say, yeah it might be great to have a nanny, or a cook or a cleaner. But if I was them, I would want to do it all myself. Be the nanny, and be the awesome cook. I would want to be with my kids, experience what it is like and not have the 'celebrity mom' thing goin on... Just sayin'... Good night

Wow, long time no see eh? I have been taking a liking to this facebook, seems like I am on it quite a bit! Hehe... Brody is getting so tall, he is past my waist, and we all know im not short :) But the thing is, he is not even 3! haha... I think he will be tall like my side of the family, and I hope he gets his good looks from his dad! These days seem to be quite busy, im attempting (again) to get back on weight watchers and stay with it. I say, I must have a very bad fast food addiction especially for taco bell, and fried chicken! Ok enough of that, I really dont need to be thinking of that! :)

Recent pic of Bro- He is getting tall :)

Age: 2 years 8 months.

A Quick Update.

Current pic of Brody... and a pic of me edited with photoshop of course. (I dont really have red hair :)

Brody, ahhh age 2 is finally kicking in, I cannot believe it. Lots of screaming, tantrums, punching, kicking, fighting. I swear that boys are harder to raise than girls, BUT I don't know exactly because I dont have a daughter.... but I am assuming its alot harder.... because alot of girls I know that are brody's age, are very well mannered! He is saying alot more words now... one is "run" which he got from Fox and the Hound, and another is "cup of juice?" but its more of a slur than words... but I can understand him LOL.

On another note, I am looking for a job and hoping to find a great babysitter for brody that I can trust. I think with school this term, full time was almost too much! So if I am able to, im going to try and go part time with 2 or 3 classes, and working. I want to be able to get out of this apartment asap, because I would love to get a duplex for brody to run around in and never get tired. Also a yard might be nice for all my plants. :)

He put on my shoes, when I told him to get ready to go! LOL

No Mom-

Brody has turned 2, and man oh man does he have the attitude. His favorite words right now are:

Cars

Cup

Cup of Juice

Bu Bye

I have included a few pictures of him. He is getting to throw the fits and goes in his room and slams the door when I tell him to go sit in time out.
