Keepin up with the Jones'

I just realized it has been over 2 weeks since my last post...........My bad. No excuses, just living life and keepin on keepin on................

Hunter is still in a holding pattern of the 2 bottom teeth, but we are sure his top teeth are right around the corner. He chews on everything and anything he can grab (hair, necklaces, shirt collars, etc.). He is eating baby food, Stage 2, every day, 3 times a day with bottles in between and at night and in the morning. I look forward to the bedtime bottles, cause that is when I really get to bond and just watch him as he falls off to sleep. He must think that Huggies is donating diapers to us, cause the boy uses way too many of them.............. for "nuggets" if you know what I mean!! I have learned to be resourceful yet keep him clean and dry. He is no longer to be anywhere that has any height to it unless he is strapped in and watched. He is way to squirmy and rolls over ALL the time! He is a maniac. He is full of energy and still has the Hunter smile we all know and love.

Jerry hates......okay, severly detests his job. Because of our stellar economy, about 75% of the company has been let go, which means that one person may have to do 2 other peoples jobs, like Jerry is. I don't understand b/c he cannot effectively do all the jobs at the same time. He comes home very frustrated. We would love for him to get a new job, but again, this stoopid economy has us all being thankful for what we have and scared to look for something else. But what I want to know, is the stress worth it all? Life is too short to be stressed all the time.

The girls........... we got them again after Spring Break, and they were still talking about their week here. We get them this weekend and are celebrating Olivia's 7th Birthday on Sunday, here at the house. We have invited my family, Jerry's family, and of course, Katie and Kenzie. We decided we couldn't do a big ol' kid party this year and Olivia is excited to have any kind of celebration. I am sure they will do something on Saturday for her birthday as well. I am looking forward to seeing them as always. They will probably notice that I have cleaned and organized things around here. They usually notice....... especially Chloe.

Me.............. um, yeah...... I am staying busy with Hunter, school, afterschool, Hunter, the house. I stay tired. I try to get to bed early, but my mind keeps turning and I cant actually fall asleep. I have been on a rampage this week. My sitter couldn't keep Hunter on Monday, so I moved Hunter from room to room and cleaned. I told Jerry to watch out --- some of his stuff might end up on Craigslist or EbaY!!!! Jerry and I have started eating better and doing more activities. I have been at it for a week and a half and feel better already. I have way too many clothes waiting on me that I can't yet fit back in to.

I think thats all for now..........................
