It Was Long Overdue!

The beautiful view from our room! Atlantic City, NJ...my first getaway in about eight years!!! Can you believe it??!! EIGHT YEARS!!! It was great...we had such a wonderful time. My boyfriend and I spent time together, just us, we ate out, stayed in, watched tv, we went swimming, he worked out while I tanned, we walked the boardwalk (which was gorgeous by the way), we toured the hotel, we had drinks, we danced, we laughed, we found a Dunkin Donuts and a Wawa (lol). It was perfect! And it was definitely long overdue...we'll be back in the summer with the kids.

Vacation

So we get a little bit of snow and suddenly the kids have off until after the new year. What kinda s*#t is that?! That's almost three weeks out of school!!! Now I have to worry about the house getting messier than it already is, about them trying to get into the gifts (because they would be sure to get the youngest to open them), and about them burning enough energy without driving my boyfriend crazy...lol. It will be fun to say the least. Merry Christmas everyone!

Land of Life For an Extended Vacation

Hi everyone...I'm back!! :)

Sorry for the extended absence...I was caught up in the land of "Life", forced to take an unexpected vacation.

Leo and I have gone through many changes in the last month. New jobs, new working hours, part-time to full-time, sick children, and learning how to adjust to it all.

Leo has found a new job that will take him from a temporary employee to a permanent one. FINALLY!!!! It's much busier than his prior job. He absolutely loves it, but he doesn't even have the time to call me during the day anymore.

I have adjusted my work hours, so I work full-time overnights now. It is quite difficult adjusting to not sleeping at all at night now, only sleeping for a few hours during the morning...if I don't have to juggle doctor's appointments in between. All of this and then we all got sick one right after the other, but I think I've gotten it all figured out now.

So, here I am, once again...I'm back!
