just another day at the park

only one child wanted to be photographed. noah was too busy playing with the other kids and aidan was too busy sunning himself in the stroller (aahh, the life of a newborn). yep, she's destined to be a fashion model.

back to work

it's my second day back at work and it's like i never left.

the first day was crazy busy.....mainly because it was the only day to register for summer classes that start today.....so everyone wanted their health restrictions taken care of. has no one ever heard of being prepared and taking care of those things BEFORE the day it needs to be done?

then it was on to take care of the things that piled up while i was gone...updating med reports, filing case reports with the state, etc. today i can actually start to see my desk, but now i have new projects to work on (can someone tell me how to download web pages i've designed onto a jump drive? isn't it just ctrl+s?......i'll figure it out eventually).

now to add to all the things i love to worry/obsess over......i may need to start looking for a new job as mine may be going away soon. unless the clinic finds a new doctor(s) by june 30th, then we are out of work. so now i say all my little prayers because i really don't want to have to find a different job. as much as i complain about this one at times, it really is a great job to have, especially for me with small kids.....very accomadating (sp?) and good holidays and benefits.

oh well.....back to work

getting started.....

my first blog on blogspot......what should i write about........here's what's been going on lately

had my 3rd bay-bay on april 23rd.....aidan michael holt joined our very dynamic family.


aidan fits in very well. but if i were him, i would be very scared.....noah and mia may seem sweet now, but once he gets a little older.....they will turn on him! lol. (that's actually funny if you know my kiddos)

right now i'm having some issues with our newest addition: 1)breastfeeding is becoming extremely trying. we had some issues with the 3 week growth spurt and now i'm getting a little discouraged. i'm trying to decide now if i should continue breastfeeding or is it time to throw in the towel. (just a little sidenote: how come my breasts don't look like those breastfeeding hollywood moms, calling halle and christina: what's your secret?). 2) I MISS SLEEP!!!! i can not stress that enough. i had somehow forgotten that part of newborn babydom. 3) i have to go back to work (WHAT! that so sucks).

one thing i am excited about with this newest arrival is the new addition of my double stroller for only $50. very happy, excited, proud (insert your own adjective here) if i do say so myself. i have been wanting one since.....well january......but i have refused to pay $200 for one. but i got a deal.



now the only question is: will mia fit in it? or is she too big? we will see. summer vacation is coming soon and we will be trying it out.


i just finished reading
and




both were great books. i would probably read Die for Me by Karen Rose and Sugar Daddy by Lisa Kleypas first (just so you have all the backstory) but both were really good.


Rachel Gibson's new book comes out tomorrow. i was kinda hoping to still be on maternity leave so i could stay in my pj's and read it all day, but alas, that is not meant to be. i reread a few of her books over the weekend to reaquaint myself with the characters because i think this new book is part of her "women authors" series (my name for the series, not hers). love rachel gibson so i'm super excited to read it.

we had family pictures taken over mother's day weekend and i can not stop looking at them. i LOVE my family. and i have the cutest kids in the entire universe. no, that is not bias, that is the truth.







well, i think i must sign off now as my kids are driving me crazy! we are supposed to be going to visit my momma and if they ask me one more time, "mom are you coming?" then i may have to scream. until next time.........
