Mommy Time

So today is the start of the Olympics one of my favorite things to watch on TV ( besides CNN of course). I have said since the boys were born that I wanted one of them to go to the Olympics and when a gold medal and say I did it for you Mom!! So I started thinking about how I have so many hopes and dreams for my boys, but not much in the way of dreams for myself. Everyday revolves around what I am going to do for the boys and there is no time for what I want to do for myself. I guess I have been in the mindset that being this way makes me a better mother a selfless person who gives her all to her family. I had a breakthrough this morning reading a book I got in the mail from MOPs called the Mommy Diaries. I do need time for myself, and I need to have goals and interests outside of family. This does not make a selfish Mom but a Mom that is happy and fulfilled in all areas of life! So if by chance one or both of my boys wins a gold medal in the Olympics I hope they say "I did for myself"!

It has been awhile!

Wow, I can't believe I haven't blogged since May! Well, we have been busy around here. The boys are working on the potty still, but are coming along :) I guess I have the oldest kids around still in pull ups!!! Anyway, we finally booked our vacation, which I am excited about, we are going to Panama City Beach at the end of the month. This weekend has been nice, we went to the Discovery Center this weekend on a free family pass. Matt and I had a good time seeing the boys so excited over everything. Today we went to the mall, and out to eat. The boys are getting so much better about going out to eat here lately, I really hope it doesn't end while we are on vacation!! Also the boys will be starting school once we get back from FL so I need to get their lunchboxes bought, and their nap mats. I can't believe they are starting school so soon, but I am hoping to get some stuff done around the house those two days, and start my e-bay business up again. There seems to be so much I want to do right now but I am kinda on hold until we get though August. Well, I need to go get my CNN fix before bed!
