4:30am.....really??

So our new rollout (project) at work starts April 13th. We have our test stores starting out right now and with a start time of 4:30am. Really?? I can't barely wake up at 5:30am to be to work by 7am. To look on the brightside....I get off early and can spend more time with Colin..naptime :)
Why can't I be rich and not have to work so I can sleep in until 7am....what a life....

Update!!

FYI.... I accomplished my goals for this week!!!

1. I, well Mark, took pictures of Colin this weekend. High five for Mark!!

2. I took all my pills that I supposed to take and didn't forget any...high five for me!!

3. I went to bed every night, well with the exception of Saturday night, see #4 for reason, at 10pm...before 11pm.

and 4. The watched a movie and stayed awake....the whole entire movie. I watched "Twilight" and loved it (thank goodness I read the books awhile ago so I forgot some of it). So I was up until after 11pm and I sure Mark was shocked because I usually fall asleep the first 15 minutes and he gets to listen to my snores!!

So yay for me and my accomplishments. Also one more thing since I am gloating right now....I did 5 loads of laundry and finished ALL LOADS by last night. YAY!!!!

Now I gotta learn how to make dinner for the family. New post, new explanations, and new goals. Can't keep eating at Mom's and having my little sister and mom feel sorry for the cooking challenged sister. How does take-out sound for dinner tonight?!?!?!? Just kidding..well kinda...

Thank you

I don't know if you every read my blog and that is okay if you don't because you are so busy all the time. I just wanted to let you know how thankful I am to have you as my husband. To come home last night after a long day and hear the vacuum going and the kitchen cleaned, the garbage taken out and the rooms ready for bed (heaters on and night lights glowing!) and not to have even asked you really made me feel loved and special. Especially since you left for work at 7am and didn't get home until almost 9pm. I know I have been REALLY REALLY lazy and not feeling that greatest and your weekends are spent hanging out on the couch watching endless dvr recordings of Rachel Ray and all my crazy reality TV shows....I really do appreciate you. You never complain and never get mad, you just do it.
Colin and I are very blessed to have you in our lives and so is this new little baby on their way into our crazy little family!!
I love you

What bad parents we are!!

Well I just put the little tyrant down to bed....he was in a mood today. I am sitting here listening to him bang his name against the wall, aka his letters on his walls spelling his name. It is a nightly ritual of his and plus I am too lazy to take them down ;)
So as I am surfing the web and checking my long list of unread email I decided to take a look into the recent pictures we have taken of Colin. And low and behold the last picture we have taken of him was in Florida in JANUARY!!!! I am horrible!!! I never have charged batteries and half the time can't even find the camera in time to take "that" picture before the moment is lost. Mark even bought me a video camera for Christmas almost 2 years ago so that we could catch all those funny moments on tape. Umm ya don't have those either.
So goals for this week (and thank goodness it is half way over..hehehe):

1. Start taking more pictures and video
2. Remember to take my prenatal pill, unisom and B6 every night to avoid the nasty morning sickness the next day
3. Go to bed BEFORE 11pm...and actually be asleep
and finally
4. Watch a movie this weekend with Mark without falling asleep the first 15 minutes into the movie!!!

Hopefully I will have an update next week, with proof (pictures), of my accomplishments. Stay tuned!!

Since I am part of your morning routine.....

here is a quote that I really like and I wanted to share it with you.

"People become really quite remarkable when they start thinking that they can do things. When they believe in themselves they have the first secret of success."

- Norman Vincent Peale

Have a great day :)

The beach!!

Can't wait until he is bigger so he can really enjoy this marvelous creation....I love the beach and I love the summer and I can't wait for road trips to the ocean where Colin can run around like a crazy boy ;)

Blue Man Group

If you ever get a chance to see the Blue Man Group live, DO!!! They are awesome!! When my mom told me she got tickets for all of us to check them out in concert while in Florida I was, honestly, like what the heck.....but it was amazing and I am glad that I got to spend it with my family. It was great to see my little brother really getting into it...kinda like we were at a rock concert together. I am definetly going to another show whether it be here in Seattle or in Las Vegas, whenever that may be.
