I am SO impressed with myself...


Look! It's only been a week since my last blog! Hubby is traveling a lot these days, he's actually gone for the next 2, but we going on his next trip with him. He will be attending a conference in Bonita Springs, on the "BEST coast" (best beaches, in my opinion) at the Hyatt Coconut Point resort - can I get a "WHOOT-WHOOT!" Free vacation for a family of 4! He will be MIA the whole 3 days, being wined and dined by various vendors trying to get his company's business, but I'd have to take care of these 2 kids by myself if I stay home, so I might as well get a vacation out of it! I have to take Jordan out of school for 3 days, but she's made straight A's all year, so I think she deserves to have a break. The resort is not right on the beach, but they have a huge pool with a slide and they offer CAMP for the kids - oh yeah!!! I'm trying to talk Jordan into going to the camp for at least 1/2 of one day. The thought of not having to do dishes, or laundry or even cook for 3 days has me all giddy with excitement - and the prospect of taking a couple of naps with the baby is about to put me over the edge! I'll be making a Target run tomorrow - I must get 70 sunblock for this pasty white skin of mine!

watching "Hoarders" helps....


Ok, so I can't seem to be a consistant blogger - oh well. Jackson is now almost 15 months old and he is absolutely adorable and hilarious! I can tell already that he is going to be a huge ham! Jordan has made straight A's all school year and is taking piano lessons. She's still extremely messy and her teacher wrote on her report card that she would like to see her "be more organized". That's a nice way to put it - I'd probably tell a parent "your kid is smart, but a total slob!" I try to set a good example for her, but living with 2 people who live by the phrase, "temporary parking space" and a baby who can destroy a living room in minutes, it can get out of control pretty quickly. Especially if I am not OCD about it. There seems to be no happy medium with me. I am either constantly following behind them cleaning up or I just ignore it until it makes me insane. That's what happened this week. Now I'm back to being OCD again. Well see how long it lasts....
