Okay, so this is my very first blog. I've never done a blog. I have however written in many different journals, which have all eventually gone to the way side. Hopefully this will stick on my to do list at least once every couple weeks! We'll see :)
Anyways, lets get started! As of today, Mackenzie is 20 months, will be 21 months in 2 days! Such a fun age, she learns new things everyday and it's so cool to witness this, especially when she learns things from you. Except the times when she learns things from you that you wished she didn't. Cameron is 3 months old. This age can be fun as well. The find their hands and feet and begin to be able to do a few things, roll over, reach and grasp. At this point though, he still can't do anything for himself. He can't feed himself, move around on his own. It's when he's able to do those things I can't wait for. I love those times. Something to look forward to!
Normally I don't love kids. Other peoples kids. I can stand them but, I really only like to be around them if they're well behaved and listen to their own parents, and do what they're told. But normally, I just don't love them. However, I love MY kids. I love playing with my kids. I also love time away from my kids. Being a stay at home, really just being a mom, will do that to you. As a stay at home mom, your kids are your job so you need something to get you out of the house for a bit, away from you kids. Working moms have they're jobs to get them out of the house. Not that work is the only thing they can do without their kids, but most days of the week, they get sanity. They get to have adult conversations. Their brain is not turning to mush! Anyways, staying at home with the kids, most days we play and make a huge mess out of the living room! If you don't believe me, come check it out. They have so many toys! They just go all over while we're playing. Sometimes we fill up the kiddie pool out back and play in that. Or rather Mackenzie plays in it. Cameron doesn't like the pool. We also like to go for walks around town, when it's not too hot of course. This week, if you walk outside, you're instantly covered in sweat! So inside and in the pool it's been for us. When I need a little break, we go to Paw Paw to see Jessie and the kids. It's nice, I can say more than no, don't hit, be careful. I get to have actual conversations! Weekends are usually the best. Marty's home!!! It's much easier to take care of two little kids when you have the help of another adult. I don't have to do it all on my own!
Now the fun part, time away from my kids! J/K. Actually, it can be quite fun. I don't have a lot of time away from them. I don't like a lot of time away from them. When they stay the night somewhere, I'm up earlier than when they're home so I can get ready and go pick them up. However, I like some time away from them. I usually get every other Monday evening away, for a couple hours at least. I get to go to Mary Kay unit meetings. It doesn't sound like fun but I totally enjoy it. We talk a lot about skin care and cosmetics but I get to learn a lot also. If there's one thing I really like to do, it's learning new things. I also have other times I get away from my kids. Like when I have Mary Kay parties! It's my job but it sure doesn't feel like work. I have so much fun and I get to meet a lot of new people. In fact, I have a party to do on Saturday and I can't wait! And another one next Friday, I can't wait for that one either! Hopefully, I will get a few bookings from those two and have even more parties! Which is not only fun, but can possibly help with paying some of the bills around here. Lastly, sometimes Marty and I will have mini vacations without the kids. We've gone to Chicago a couple times. That's always fun. We also just have a night out every once in a while. It's good for us, and it's good for Mackenzie and Cameron. It helps them learn that Mommy and Daddy will always come back. We're not going to leave them somewhere forever. It's healthy for all 4 of us.
I think that's enough rambling for now! I'm sure I'll be back, I've enjoyed this :)
Love!!!
