Just a quick post before dinner. Hunter waved today for the first time!
We were at the hospital visiting my sister in law who had surgery this morning and we were waiting in the hallway while the nurse was in with her. Grandaddy was holding him and a nurse walked by and Hunter stuck out his hand and waved to her. It was the sweetest thing.
Ok, I’m gonna go see if I can get him to wave to me now.
Do you see the search box at the top? Check it out!
It’s a search engine with/for Work at Home Mom resources.
So, for those of us who are WAHMs, we now have a search
engine to go to when we need something and want to find a
fellow WAHM who offers it, without having to weed through all
the other “stuff” at the big dog search engines.
A mentor of mine over at Mom Masterminds Main Page, Lynette, came up with this and it’s soooo awesome! I think it’s so cool I have
my homepage set to it now and you can to by clicking here!
I love the name too…wish I was that creative.
Real quick post this morning about our weekend.
I love weekends like this past weekend. We did nothing special but we spent so much time together and had a wonderful time. Jerry normally works every weekend and all weekend long, but not this weekend. He had to work but was home by 9am both days. So we had the whole afternoon and evening together on Saturday and Sunday. We didn’t do anything big around the house, though we have lots that needs to be done, we just took it easy. I feel extremely refreshed today and I know it’s because we had such a calm and laid back weekend.
We went shopping Saturday morning and Hunter got his picture taken with the Easter Bunny! He was tired and a bit weirded out I think because there were like 6 women standing around oohing and aahhhing him, hence the look on his face.;)
Saturday evening Adam & Tia came over for a little while and Adam made dinner for everyone. Spaghetti of course. It was good and we had a nice time visiting with the new mommy & daddy. They were so tired and it showed but it won’t stay like that forever and I told them before they know it they will have their energy back and will be looking back saying where did those months go? 
Got some pics of us with the baby back. Isn’t he just adorable??
Sunday we just played around the house.
I fiddled with a bit of laundry and cleaning (nothing too major though), jumped online and looked over some resources and Mom Mastermind’s Success Stories, watched some racing, and played with the boys.
Zach was busy being a little boy yesterday. He and Jerry boxed some, he hit a few golf balls around the yard, and they went through his toys and put some back to give to charity that he no longer wanted.
Hunter played with all of us and loved jumping in his Jumperoo. He even watched a bit of football with Dad and worked with Mom online too.
Hey everyone! I have been so busy that this week I decided to recap the week for everyone. Does that just sound weird to anyone else? “Recap” my week. Sounds like I’m oh so big and important.
My brother and his SO brought my nephew home from the hospital on Sunday. They are all doing great. Sean is growing like crazy. They went to his first doctor’s appointment yesterday and he has gained almost a pound and has grown an inch and a quarter already!
Speaking of babies: My little one is just growing too fast! LOL On the 1st he slept all night for the first time and has done very well every night since. The last two nights he has woke up once each night, but I think that is due to the fact that he is getting his first tooth! Yep, on Monday it broke the skin and is coming in well. He has this habit of pulling his lower lip in under his top lip and it’s just the cutest thing! I’ll try to get a picture up of it soon, but every time I try to get a picture of him doing it he stops. You should see the little tooth marks on the back of his spoon…Absolutely adorable. Yes, I know I’m weird hu?
The oldest apple of my eye is doing wonderful too. I’m so proud of Zachary. We have been having some issues at school with his behavior and on Tuesday I met with his two main teachers, his computer and resource teachers and the school counselor to discuss a plan of action to take to move Zach back in the right direction. He now has a behavior chart that each teacher rates him on a scale of 1-10 every day and then the scores are averaged for the daily score. Zachary then gets to pick which number he thinks he deserves as well at the end of the day. The goal is a 6 or better every day. Well yesterday, he got a 7! He has a new student in his class and his teacher made him Richard’s helper yesterday and I think that made a big difference. Here’s to many more good days for Zach! I’m not sure but I think that the new student lives two houses down from us. I’ll find out for sure this afternoon when Zach gets home.
I’ve been babysitting the neighbor’s two children for about a month now to try and get a little extra money that I can use for my business and for improvements to the house. I watch the little ones on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday when their parents, who happen to be Jerry’s cousin and her fiance, need me. They both work rotating shifts…He’s a police officer and she works at a paper mill. So far I have only had to watch them 1 or 2 days a week, but this week I’ve had them all three days. Boy sometimes I think I’m a little crazy because I have my two, their two (a 3 year old and a 6 month old), and now 2 puppies as well! LOL Actually it’s not bad at all and I know that I’m helping them out and getting closer to my business goals as well. It gives Zach someone to play with and here in a few months Hunter will have someone to help keep him occupied as well. Good for everyone involved so that’s what matters!
Oh Yes, you heard me right we now have 2 puppies. We have ours and I’m “pet sitting” for my brother because right now because he can’t have the puppy where he lives. Adam’s puppy is the sister to our Jack Russell. Don’t know how much longer I will have her with us, but boy has it really taught me and tried my patience. Ever had two babies crying, two puppies whining, a 3 year old talking about Power Rangers, an 8 year old screaming for help with homework and hubby wanting dinner all at once?? I don’t recommend it, but I wouldn’t trade it for the world either!!
Ok, I’m off to post to my business blog and hopefully get a quick shower before Hunter wakes up and my day will officially begin! LOL It’s actually really nice being able to get up before everyone else and get something done!
Real quick I wanted to let all you Moms know about a new forum that one of my mentors, Alice Seba, has started.
It’s called Moms Talk Forum. Head on over and say hi and join in the mom chat. See Ya there!
