Let's try this again....

Once upon a time I decided to blog......and failed.

Two February's ago now I decided I wanted to start a blog to share and reflect on everyday life. I don't know why I thought with a 3 year old and 4 month old I would have time to write more then two posts in a whole year. Now that things have settled, as much as they can with my sailor hubby plus a 4 & almost 2 year old, I am going to try this again.

Here's a little update on our life:

Me - Since I clearly don't wear enough hats already I decided to add a few more. I started working at Ann Taylor Loft in March and recently promoted to sales lead. I work part time there and still sell Scentsy (www.takeawhiffofthis.scentsy.us)! I've also been volunteering my time and am currently president of my husband's boats Family Readiness Group.

Flynnda - Still in the Navy on the same boat and will be until sometime in 2016. His schedule is still just as crazy and we usually don't see him until after 7pm most days, including some weekends. Sometime in the near future he will most likely be going out to sea again...Yay single mom status! (please read last phrase with a slightly sarcastic tone)

Peanut (also known as M) - Will be entering her second year of Pre-K at a local public school soon since she doesn't turn 5 before the cut off date. She is the most active, talkative and inquisitive 4 year old, who needs to know everything about everything. She currently specializes in having the attitude problems of a 16 year old girl and saying the darndest things.

Pumpkin (also know as K) - Will be turning 2 in October. She is growing up way to fast for my liking and has to do everything her big sister does. She has learned many great phrases lately such as "don't want to!", "you stop it!" and "no!". She is trying to figure out how to use the potty but hasn't mastered the part where you actually pull down your pants and diaper to do so which usually results in something a little like this...."Mama, pee-pee!" *Grabs potty seat, puts it on the potty, and tries to unravel the whole roll of toilet paper* Not exactly how you do it but she'll get there.


My hope for my blog this time around is that while sharing our everyday life you can also share the laughs, mistakes and memories that I hope to sit down with a nice cup of coffee and reflect on this time next year...because lets face it, life with two small children can be like the Hunger Games, someone might not make it out alive.
