My blog is a reflection...

My blog is a reflection of my life. When life is even-paced, I tend to blog alot...and (I feel) it can even be funny and interesting.

But when my life is in chaos, normally because of my job, I go silent. I don't have time to download pictures, articulate little stories about the girls or even keep up on reading friends blogs.

I have been spending way too much time and energy focusing on things that go on at work. It's a struggle because co-workers say things like "You work too much", "You shouldn't have to work at night" and "You're stressing too much". But no one ever says "Ah...be late, don't worry about it".

And because no one ever says that, I work too much and at night and stress out about it.

But I'm back, at least for today because it's Saturday and Todd has taken the girls upstairs to give mommy a break.

So..what has been going on in the last two months?

Heck, in the last week, Sara said "I love you mommy" for the first time where I didn't ask her to say it. I said "I love you Sara" and there it was, right back at me - "I love you mommy". That was on Tuesday morning.

And the on Wednesday morning, she tee tee'd on the potty for the first time. I couldn't believe it - she's almost 22 months but still. We haven't seen any repeat performances so it may have been a fluke.

And little Sara is talking up a storm, mainly "I want X", "Mine" and "Hello Mommy" but it's just wonderful to hear her little voice.

Paige is such a big girl - no big milestones but she is turning into such a little lady - worrying about her hair, learning to read and become aware of what others think of her. That one sorta freaks me out. If I pass anything on to her, I want it to be confidence and to just not care what other people think and say. It is going to be my biggest challenge with my girls.

I am going on a trip to Vegas with the girls (Beth, Kim and Jaklyn) on Thursday - I'm so excited. I really wish Todd was going because we really are soul mates in Vegas but I know there will be no lack of fun with girls.

Hopefully it won't be May when I post again... I'm sure I'll find work-life balance somewhere...somehow...
