Friends

I love the fact that I can always count on my friends. No matter what happens in my life and what changes I make to myself or in my life my TRUE friends are always there for me 100%. Whether it is to cheer me on or tell me I'm an idiot :D, and it doesn't even matter if I havnt had time to talk to one of my best friends because when we see each other or we talk again we don't miss a beat. Its like we have been together the whole time, all I really want to say is I love all of my friends! And I don't know what I would do without any of you :D

Here I go Again!

So I know I have said this many times and I always lose my will power and I am back to where I started, so for now I am not going to count calories, I am not going to exercise all day everyday, I am just going to focus on living a healthier life style, instead of eating out I am going to make sure I make a healthy dinner every night and I will watch my portions. And when it comes to the choice of either to sit and watch tv or to go for a walk... I am going to choose to go for a walk! I want my whole family to live a healthier life style and I need to make the first step towards that. I am not looking to become thin as a bean pole! I am just looking to be healthy, no matter what weight I am at. I am not saying that I don't want to lose weight because I do, I just dont want to spend all my time and effort focusing on every pound I gain or lose. So hopefully all goes well! Wish me Luck!

Loves when my daughter chooses the healthy choice.

So last night when we were at my parents house for coffee they offered my daughter some timbits, and she turned them down! I was just as suprised as everyone else was, she asked for cheese instead. I was just thinking that she wanted cheese then and she would be back to her old self today. Well today my daughter is choosing all of the healthy stuff instead of the junk! It makes me so proud, she is eating cucumbers, apple sauce, cheese, and carrots! I hope that this health kick of hers stays and maybe influences me a bit to eat healthier!

Friends

I was laying in bed on my lazy Sunday, when I heard the doorbell ring. The first thing that came to my mind was "Oh no! Who is here now!" The first thing I heard out of my daughter was excitement. When my fiance answered the door there was Emma's little friends asking if Emma could come out and play. Ever since we have lived at our new place there have been 2 little girls who come to our house quite a bit and ask if emma can go out and play. My daughter is 3... she will be 4 in 2 months, i did not thing that my daughter would have girls coming to the door until she was in school at least, all of that aside all I can think about is when i was a child and I had friends come to my door and ask if I could out and play, and still to this day i remember my friends and talk to them on occasion and I can't help but wonder if this is a start of a long life friendship between my daughter and her friends. All i know is they will be remembered by her for the rest of her life.

Saturdays!

Do you ever notice that you work all week looking forward to when the weekend comes and when it finally comes you seem busier on the weekend then you did during the week. Although the busy on the weekend is the best because its not work, its spending time with family, and friends and getting some much needed work done on the house or whatever else it is that you have been forgetting about. And it is even better in the summer because you can do all of this and GET A TAN! Although I have been wondering where the hell our summer is, I have been waiting and waiting and then we get a couple of hot days and then.... it rains again! Lots of fun! Anyways until next time I suppose!

One of Those Day

One of the hardest things about my job is on days like these. It is a Friday and I am done for the week, any Mom out there will understand that their are just days when you wish all of the responsibilities of a Mom could go flying out the window and you could sleep in, and watch whatever you want to watch on T.V, eat when you want to eat and clean when you want to clean. Being a Mom and a Daycare provider I not only have to look after my own daughter but other peoples children as well. Don't get me wrong I love my job and I love working with children, its a great feeling knowing that I am part of their lives and I am helping mold their the way they grow up. Lets take a look at a normal day for me.

7:00am-7:30am- Wake Up & Shower
8:00am- Emma wakes up and my First kid arrives
8:15am- Make breakfast for Emma
8:30am- Get Emma Dressed, brush her teeth and do her hair ( in between all of these step I am normally cleaning up ie: kitchen, make beds ect.)
9:00am- Finish Cleaning
10:00am- SNACK TIME! (the kids favorite part of the day)
10:30am- Clean up from snack and then the kids pick what they want to do.
11:30am- Lunch Time
12:00pm- Nap Time (YAY!!)
During Nap Time I finish cleaning and depending on the day I can sit and watch some TV or Clean some more.
2:00pm- Wake Up and another Snack
At this point if the weather is nice we go outside for the rest of the day and when its nice we play in the pool until its just about home time.
5:00pm or 5:30pm- The last kid has gone home and I am starting dinner.
6:00pm- Clean Up from dinner
6:30pm- 7:30pm- Some quality time with my daughter and fiance
7:30pm- Bed Time routine for Emma (this includes a bath every other night, pajama time, brush teeth and clean up if needed, then some down time and off to bed.)
8:30pm- Emma is finally in bed and I am ready to relax!
This schedule does not include the hectic days when I have a house full of children and the days when I have doctors appointments and dentist appointments and shopping and all those fun things :D
Well I am off to do some more chores and play with the children. Until Next Time
