Holy buckets!!!

I just spent the last half hour reading this journal. It's scary how much has changed and how I used to be. My favorite entries were the ones where I just listed names or places to come back later and never did. Only me, I swear.

I have a new blog, but it doesn't read quite like this one. The other one I know people read, so I filter. A LOT. I love this one because I only filtered a little. To this day I know where I filtered, and where I didn't.

Life now is a lot different than the days of Aaron, Ryan, Dan and the 15 other guys I talked to. But it's amazing how reading some of those entries and I'm right back there, heart broken, depressed, sad and lonely. Crazy, crazy times.

Right now I'm watching my two beautiful boys goof around with the two enormous, smelly dogs. Cooper is laying on Kobe while Connor is pulling Duke around by the collar. Miss Hannah is in school right now - fourth grade and she just got a new little brother a week ago. Poor thing is swimming in brothers - she has 4 now.

Jason and I have been married for a little over a year and a half. Things are great most times, frustrating the rest of the time. He's working 2 jobs to keep us going. He works the paper route 7 days a week and Sundays and alternating days off. And those Sundays are spent watching football and eating supper at the inlaws.

Jason gets irritated with me because I'm not a 'diehard Eagles fan' and I don't really bleed green like him, but I'm getting there. As of right now, I'm 60% Eagles fan, 40% Vikings. And I'm only a Vikes fan because I heart Jared Allen and AP.

This is my second year playing fantasy football. Last year I finished third in a really jacked up league. This year I'm with Jason and ten other people from the post office. It's a tough league - most of these people have played for years and really know their stuff. And I'm first in my division, third overall, and only getting better.

I am still a stay at home mom, and I do believe it's the best job in the world. My Connor (who just turned 3) knows his colors, shapes, can count to 10 (20 sometimes, but you have to remind him about 11 and 12), and his alphabet, both upper and lowercase. He's constantly spelling things out that he sees. Last night I was wearing my Eagles sweatshirt and he told me "That says eagles. F. A. G. L. E. 5." In his defense, the 'E' and the 'S' are hard to see. Mr. Cooper is 17 months and he knows where his nose, ears and hair are. He follows instructions really well (more so than the other males in the house - Jason and dogs included). He says mama, dada, nigh nigh(Night night), nose, ears, dudu (Duke), nana and papa.

I'll be starting college classes December 2 for Healthcare Coding and Billing hopefully. I'm not sure how I'm going to like it, but if it brings home the money to buy Jason a boat and hay for my horses, I'll be happy. I know I should find something I like to do, but no one's going to pay me to stay home and raise my children.

I think I'm going to give up the other blog and come back here. I really don't like thinking about what I can write and what I can't. The other blog is at www.tjksrandomnonsense.blogspot.com .

duke, cooper, connor, kobe, jason
