Halloween and two birthdays

Halloween was fun albeit short, my kids are lacking in stamina. It was fun anyway. Yesterday was Ben's 10th birthday and today is Riley's 4th birthday, so I am crazy busy. Hopefully I'll have pictures to post tomorrow. Elliot will be one next Saturday, I still can't believe it's been a year.

I'm trying to figure out where to go with my life. I want LV in it, I still hold hope that he will work through whatever it is that is bringing him down and making him a completely different person. I don't like my life on hold while he's figuring it out.  He doesn't talk to me about his plans, or what he feels so it's hard to even know where to begin to try to plan for my future, the kids future. I have been looking for jobs a little, all over the country.  I have been a SAHM since I was in my third trimester with Lauren 6 years ago, so I don't even begin to think anyone will call me for an interview, but I am going to send out a couple resumes and see what happens.

Elliot is biting me right now with his 6 teeth. Then smiling.

Sad mama

My little baby, who is 2 weeks away from turning 1, has weaned himself.  I keep offering, but he has better things to do with his time. He wants steak, big chunks of food, a big cup of juice, he wants to crawl and stand and throw balls and play with the big kids. Nursing is for babies. I never thought he'd wean so early.

A few pics from the Keys


Snorkeling at Sombrero Lighthouse. I wish I was there right now!


I'll have to upload more later. Time to pick up the kids from school.  I wish we lived in the Keys!

Car update

I bought an old Mazda minivan this afternoon. I am no longer carless. It isn't pretty, but it runs and has nice cold a/c. No more sweaty mama and baby.
