Buck Up Soldier

Somebody's been watching the Military Channel around the children...and hint hint...it's not momma! Case in point ---

Whilst playing with his new army men I bought him, I overheard Peyton say "Die Germans, DIE! We Americans are TOUGH and will shoot you up!"

It's time for another talk with the boy. And by "boy" I mean daddy, and by "talk" I mean not watching violent shows around our young and impressionable boys.

Holy Guacamole!

Has it really been a couple years since I've blogged? Geesh....this motherhood gig is more time-consuming than I thought. Here are my two years in a nut shell.

I lost 100 pounds.

I was featured in Women's Health Magazine highlighting my weight loss.

I became a personal trainer.

I finally bought my kick-ass Nikon DSLR.

I am venturing into family and child photography.

I have lost friends.

I have gained better friends.

I have wanted to kill my husband via a slow and painful method.

I have loved my husband so much I thought my heart would burst.

I have enjoyed being a "stay at home mommy" to my baby cubs.

I have felt inadequate for not holding a "real" job.

I decided I wanted a third baby.

I changed my mind on wanting a third baby after a day spent with my two neanderthals.

I now dye my hair from necessity rather than vanity.

I blame my kids and husband for necessity of hair dye.

I am an extreme couponer.

I sent my firstborn to preschool. ***sniff sniff***

But hopefully the most significant thing I've done in the past few years is be a great wife, nurturing mommy, stellar friend, and formidable foe.

Hope you're ready for more MJ...I'm back baby, and ready to blog away!

"Mommy, I drink water and it goes in belly. Then I go pee and it goes in toilet."

This is a conversation with my two year old as he had a glass of water this morning.

Amazing!
