I just haven't been in the blogging mood ...

Sorry everyone, I get on here and read everyones blogs but I just haven't had anything in me to post one of my own for a few months. So, what is new???

Well, I got my first commission check from my job this last month. It was nice and I was able to pay off two of our bills. :) Now, my job isn't luxury. I am actually a little intimidated telling people where I work, because I am a debt collector and when I do tell someone I get a look as if to say " oh, you're one of those people." I do feel guilty every day I go home and it does make me sad of what I have to do everyday. However, it's a job, and the only one I've been able to get so far. Someday, I will be able to not work there and either work somewhere else, or finally be a stay at home mom (maybe watching a few other kids on the side). Until that day comes, I am one of those people for now.

Noah went to the doctor a few weeks ago for his very late 18 month check up (he's 22 months right now). He weighs 31 lbs and is 34 inches tall. So, he's in the 95th percentile for weight and 50th for height. I really hope he isn't short when he gets older. I will feel so bad for him. :( He's also decided that he has turned two (he decided this probably 5 months ago) and is a little terror! I mean I love him, but he throws these fits where he bangs his head on the floor. I mean it's hard!!! He is still sleeping in the same room with us. His room is ready except my mom is suppose to finish his curtains (and I have to keep reminder her everyday!!!) and we have to do something with his closets. I also am not sure if we are going to get him a toddler bed or not. He's not even two yet, but he manages to climb onto his changing table (why I ever bought a crib with one attached, who knows, I have YET to use the stupid thing and it was a must have before he was born) and shimmy down the floor. I am hoping by the end of this month he will be adjusted to his new room and finally be away from us. LOL I love him, but having him live with us the same room since October has been difficult.

I am still trying to lose weight. I haven't lost anything. I am a little depressed about it and wondering what is wrong with me. I mean, I haven't been eating bad and I work out and still nothing. Also, I have the worst acne for some reason. all over my chin. It's made me so self conscious and ugly.

I don't know if I am going to venture into selling Mary Kay. My friend, Jennie, is selling it and pitched it to me (I've been to a "party" with my friend, Sariah, before but wasn't interested at the time because I was 19 and didn't want to spend the money). It's really interesting and I can get my products 50% off my entire life (I'd only have to sell 200 dollars a year). I just have a couple of hiccups. I don't know how I'd do it because I don't know many people. I know that it's suppose to get you to be able to approach people and sell to them and referrels and stuff but also I have such bad skin right now, who would want to buy anything from me. I know if someone was pitching makeup to me I'd except their face to reflect the product. I don't know has anyone here sold Mary Kay or is selling and what was their experiences?

Aaron is still doing the school thing. It's his second sememster and doing so well. I'm proud of him and what he's accomplishing. I wish he would have started this sooner though!!! :)

Our anniversary is in two weeks (april 17th). We are going to celebrate at the Melting Pot (so DELICIOUS!!!!!) and out on the town. I'm excited.

Well, today it is lik 70 degrees outside and I am going to enjoy the sun a little bit more before it goes away again.

Hey Girly! Glad to have you back on blogger land!
Sorry about your job - good that you have one, though. Times are tough, and if you loved it, they wouldn't have to pay you! Joshua never likes to tell people what he does either. Tax Lawyer for the Justice Department - not an easy sell.
Cute pic of the boys - Noah is getting so big! Theo has always been in the 50% for height, so if Noah is short, at least his cousin will be the same height!
Not that you asked, but my neighbor sells MaryKay and has asked me over and over to sell it. It seems like you spend a lot of money to potentially make some back, but the money you make you work really, really hard for - and spend a huge amount of time away from your family. Hard to do with a little one. Also, I think some of the MaryKay makeup smells really weird. Just my thoughts.
Glad you back, and hope you are well! Have a Happy Easter!
