Oh, yeah, a title

So...
yes. I'm here. I am slowly coming to terms with the fact that I really am not the blogger that I think I am in my head. I am always coming up with random factoid blog posts in my head, paragraphs upon paragraphs even. And then I get home, and busy gaming and babysitting and dinner and homework and husband and it all totally goes to hell out the window. I guess I just have too much that I always want to do, and not enough time to do it. I think I recently saw Julie say something on her status update about 24 hours not being enough, and I have to say I heartily agree. I wish I didn't have to sleep! I am, however, getting slowly and surely better about managing my time. It is definitely a slow slow process though. I like to game too much. I have a plethora of other time-sucks too, such as a gazillion (really, no joke) newsletters & sites that I try to keep up with to 'keep on top of things', plus facebook and myspace (though have totally tamed these two! I just have to remind myself once in a while about them). It's a slow process, but definitely going!

Quick update (not listed in any particular order):

• I know it's a time waster, but I enjoy it too much to completely cut it out: My main toon on WoW is now up to 63! And I have several others that are up and coming, woot!
• I am learning to sew. Haven't got too far yet, but hey, I do what I can. I have made Jaemin a dress so far, and even attempted a pattern adjustment. That didn't fly too well, but live & learn, eh?
• I am making headway in my schooling. Next month I start back & actually have my first web-related class. WOOHOO!
• I have been on an AWESOME mom-support board, thanks to Jess. I LOVE IT!
• Josh graduates in May. MAY! 5 short months away.
  
• We actually have money in our savings account...for the first time. EVER. I think congratulations are in order! Thanks to Josh, who has been willing to go the extra [several] mile(s).
• Jaemin has...8ish teeth now. I think one more is about to pop through though, so could be 9 tomorrow.
  
• And the coolest highlight to date (as of today): Joshua pooped on the toilet by himself today.

I hope to keep this up better, but don't hold your breath.

Oops, it's been a whole month!

I just realized this. Things have been busy, "that's why", as my son would say. He's been tagging "that's why" onto everything lately. It's quite adorable.

We're making gigantic strides in potty training. Still lots of accidents, but a much higher level of willingness, and even some completely dry days as well!

Jaemin is walking everywhere, sometimes close to running even (especially when she knows she has something she's not supposed to). She also has a 5th tooth in.

School is going well. My design class that I started off being so intimidated by has turned out to be not so intimidating after all, when I've gotten down to it. Now if I can just keep up with 'class participation' I should be making an A.

DH is going away this weekend to a soccer tournament. One of his last...I think he's sad about it, but honestly I'm ready for him to be done with it, or at least just play games 2 or 3 nights a week with a league, instead of a daily practice + games.

Mom, Julie, Jess, & Emma all pitched in to buy an hour of massage-bliss for me. All I have to say is THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU and God bless you all!

Not much going on...

Hey not much going on, so I'll just list it out:

• School is being manageable. Almost to the end of the session, already! It ends on the 27th, and then I actually have my first break. Yay!
• The kids keep on getting cuter and more rambunctious. Joshy says he has a girlfriend now. At THREE years old!
  
• My Night Elf Hunter on WoW made it to Level 50.
  
• I am close to having seam-ripped the entire first project. I hope the second time around will be much better. Practice=perfect.
• Higher Ground's 1st year birthday celebration is this Sunday! If you're interested, come on out! Should be a nice birthday 'party'.
  

I'll post more news as it comes.

Night Owl

So, even though it's killing me during the day, I am becoming quite a night owl again. I have a love/hate relationship with staying up late now, though. I really quite miss staying up late. I like to do it even. But having a day job does not mix well with night life. Nor does having early-bird kiddos. *sniffsob* Trying to find a happy medium. Unsuccessfully, thus far. More updates on this in the near future.

In the mean time, check out my Plurk. Different from Twitter. Better. Actually works too. Haven't experienced any breakdowns yet. I still Twitter too, just not as frequently as Plurk. Anyway, good times, check it out.

Something of non-consequence.

I love Karen. ☺ She cracks me up!

Hallo. My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die.

So I went to my first rapier practice tonight... I LOVED IT! I am very awkward and there is sooo much to learn, but it was uber fun. I am definitely going back next week! (THANKS CHELS! ^_^) Eventually I hope to be able to fight and win even... but right now I'll just go for remembering to have my feet pointed the right way, and keeping myself in the right stance. And not getting huge welts on my boobs. Those are the goals.

Hot Sewing Mama Divas Unite!

Sooo, my dear friend Jess has got me really excited about sewing. Who would have thought...but it has such potential, I can hardly stand it. I am not very good yet, but I just started a couple days ago and I have seen improvement already. I have faith that I will get better with practice. I have been browsing the Diaper Sewing Diva boards, and I'm amazed at what people make, all the time. It is quite inspiring! I will post pictures once I have a completed project. :D

PS - A BIG THANKS to my dear sister for letting me borrow one of her machines.
