Cynthia told me I was getting on her nerves last night! She kept getting out of bed and I told her she didn't need a drink and go to bed. She yelled 'mom, you're getting on my nerves!' It was hilarious! Of course I went in and told her not to talk to mommy that way, that is was disrespectful. But it really was funny. lol

This is why God made kids so cute...

The girls are driving me crazy today! After eating oatmeal, I took bib & tray off just like always. Meagan throws her cup in the floor. While I am trying to catch her sippy cup she spits out a big ole mouthful of oatmeal. All over her clothes, the floor, the legs of the high chair. AHHHHH! I get her all cleaned up and put her in the living room.

Meagan and her sister Cynthia are in there dancing to Clifford. That's why God made kids so cute-so we don't strangle them!

3rd times a charm! And memories from the past...

Ok, so this is the 3rd blog I've created. The first one was just for me to b**** about stuff, people, life in general. That one is private. Kinda like a diary. NO ONE HAS ACCESS!

The second one was to take the place of The Chronicles of Cynthia & Meagan newsletter that I email a few people every so often. Then it turned into a diet blog and vent and just about today.

So, let's try again! This one will be for telling everyone about the girls and pictures and stuff.

Wish me luck!


I don't know why this one is always at the top when I come here but I am going to keep putting the memories in this post. Here goes!

I really wish I had gotten in the 'blog business' years ago. I am really terrible about entering things in their baby books. So here is my plan: I (and maybe Scott sometimes) will enter 'memories' in this blog entry. For example Cynthia used to call bugs mups. So this entire entry will be nothing but memories like that. Now to figure how to keep this on the front page...

Interesting side note: the same nurse delivered BOTH of my girls, in the same room! Dr. Whitfield wasn't on call that weekend, so Meagan was delivered by another doc :(

Cynthia

-Used to call bugs mups
-Cynapoo
-Bottom doesn't have to spit right now (that means going potty)
-Poo-poo bubbles (toot in bath tub)
-When Cynthia was pting-she was sitting on the potty and looking down saying 'on, off, on off' she was starting and stopping peeing!
-she uses her stethoscope to check her baby's (and everyone else too) brain!
-used to 'sneeze' flies away. if there was a fly buzzing around she would fake sneeze at it to make it go away :)

Meagan

-clicks her tongue when she wants to eat or taste what you have
-Calls COTT sometimes instead of DADDY
-'bocks' like a chicken
-loves her big sis
-she walks up and down the hall and back and forth in the living room practicing walking. for like 20 minutes at a time! lol
-she has the cutest 'cheese' face (for pictures)

Well today I went to pick up the daybed Cynthia is getting for her b-day. In Sachse. Wow, what a drive. Thank God for gps! I would have been so lost! GPS' were invented for people like me. Virtually no sense of direction! Thanks Amy! I bought it from a DAMer. Then got the new tires put on, the oil changed and an alignment. Overall a very productive day. It felt like I was gone forever! I was gone about 8 hours. Left around 11am and got back around 7pm.
How did I do it when I was working? I would be gone more like 10-12 hours a day! I am really glad I am able to stay home with the girls now. It would be torture if I had to be gone that long. I am very fortuate to have a hubby that understands that and wants me to stay home. I feel guilty about it sometimes. That he is out there working and I'm not. Then I remind myself that I am working too. Just around here. In some ways it is the most important job in the world. I am helping to raise two wonderful, compasstionate, caring girls. (I hope). I guess they are my gift to the world.
Diet-wise about even. Not too great, not too bad. Since I spent most of my day in the car, I mostly ate the snacks I brought with me. Went over a little because of the Whataburger and Sonic. Maybe I'll go for a walk tomorrow or shoot some hoops.

I got my new camera!

I got my new camera last night! I LOVE! LOVE! LOVE! it. It is so awesome! I have probably taken over 200 pictures just playing with it. It is so much fun. And pretty much idiot proof. It has the auto focus which is great! I can't wait to take pictures of the girls and email them to everyone and put them on here and DAM! I can take pictures outside and with the flash it looks like its daylight! I took a picture of this guys workshop that I can see from my backyard (through my dirty door) and you can't tell! The picture looks really good. The sky is such a nice pretty blue! I love it! Thanks Stefanie!

SO can you tell which one is the new camera?
Is it camera A?



Or is it camera B?

Waaaay down below the posts!

I was visiting my sister at her apartment last night and there had been a smoke alarm going off for quite a while. They had tried knocking on the door and no one answered. My sister just had this nagging feeling about the man that lives there. So she went back over there. Knocking, knocking no answer. So she opened the door and smoke was pouring out! She yelled for her boyfriend to call 911 and went in yelling saying 'hello! hello!' Still no answer. The smoke was so think she couldn't see. I told her to come out and if she had to go in there then at least get a wet towel for her face and and a flashlight.


Well the little old man that lives there is asleep on the bed. She practically had to carry him out! He was fighting her because he was disoriented and half asleep. She saved his life!!! None of the other neighbors did anything until after she did. I am so proud of my sister!

Knee cleared!

-Yippee! My knee has been cleared by the doc. I can start working out again tomorrow. I was gonna do it tonight, but I'm too tired. I will get up in the am w/ S, and wake-up and either walk around the block or do the DVD workout. Maybe both. Depends how I feel. I am up for 2 challenges. One is a Biggest Loser type and the other is 1000 minutes of exercise in Feb. I'm already behind! I should hurry! Weight loss is up to almost 8lbs. It was almost 10lbs, but the I had a couple of days of really bad eating. It's funny, I can't eat as much crap as I used to. For example, we had Chicken Fried Steak the other night (great diet food) and I ate a 'normal' amount and felt sick! Okay, maybe it was a little more than normal, but it wasn't THAT much. I have found that my body doesn't want the fatty crap as much. I do still crave caffeine and sugar and indulge a little bit on the sweets (haven't even tried to cut out the caffeine). I figure I should listen to my body and if it wants a little bit of a treat, then do it otherwise I might over eat.

Let's see, what else has been going on...Oh! I'm getting a new camera. Well, new to me. It is a Nikon D40x. It's not exactly what I wanted, but it probably what I need. You know since I don't know anything about photography. LOL! I'm also getting one of my dogs and my cat fixed. That is the most exciting news, actually. I am so tired of the horny kitty and Gabriel acting stupid when Sushi is in heat. Sushi first, then Gizmo. Maybe I could do them both at the same time. I need to get a carrier for the kitty.

We hope to put some money aside for the house emergency fund, get caught up on bills, get car stuff taken care of and buy the girls some clothes! I am so EXCITED! C needs shoes so bad. I actually dreamt we bought her new shoes. I want to get her at least one really good pair. The others can be WM or whatever, but one really good pair.
