UGGGHHHHHH I don't want an OCD, but....

I want a clean, clutter free house all the time, however...I hate cleaning. I wish I was one of those people who needs a clean house and can't sit until it's all done.

I have gotten rid of so much stuff. I was watching on Oprah, give stuff away and its easier to let go of it. So, I found people who are expecting babies...people that don't mind wearing fashions from 5 years ago. The big challenge is finding someone to fit into my husband's size 31 pants.

It was interesting...don't hold on to "just in case" things. Americans are in more debt then ever, but for some reason, homes are larger, cars are bigger, and storage units are in every city. For our stuff. Stuff we can't afford. Stuff we don't need. Stuff that makes our homes hard to clean.

I married a packrat. I know this because a few days ago, I witnessed him cleaning his truck. Everything that I throw away of his, makes its way into the truck.

PRODUCT RAVE: JUMPEROO AND BUMBO

The Bumbo was my lifesaver. It was the one and only thing he sat in, until the Jumperoo.

Worst Buy:
The rainforest swing. All my friends agree, none of them swing once the baby is in there.

My Birthday is Tomorrow!

I am someone who loves my birthday. I am a true Gemini, ask my husband.

We have plans to go to The Biltmore, I have wanted to go for awhile. Go to the gardens, winery, lunch outside, and a tour of the mansion. I also believe there is a petting zoo.


I have decided to live my life slightly differently on the eve of my 29th.

1. Keep up on my morning walks. It's nice to get up and see the world.
2. Don't feel guilty about your new daily Naked obsession...the drink. 3.00 is not a lot of money for fiber, vitamins, and antioxidents.
3. Don't buy another item of clothing if you have something remotely similiar at home.
4. For 20.00 a month, my husband went ahead and ordered a new washing machine to rent. My downstairs neighbor causes me unnecessary stress regarding my loud spin cycle.
5. Sunscreen, everyday..face, arms, and chest.
6. Go back to underwire...what's the sense of having big ones if they are flopping around in a nursing bra.
7. Even though I am terrible at ironing, act as though I am great and maybe my husband will be tricked.
8. Accept that I stay at home and I don't bring in an income. Its okay..I don't have to babysit or sell products to anyone. Once I let this guilt leave me I should start enjoying my position more.
9. Actually order the pictures that I take and upload.
10. Realize that if allowing baby to watch a little TV clears a spot in my schedule for sex, turn the TV on and tell him you will be back in a few minutes.

Trying To Fight The Good Fight Against Gymboree Classes..

You move to a new city, you don't work, you have a baby...The life of a hermit was never of interest to you, so the simple solution would be Gymboree. At close to $50.00 a month, 1 class a week, for an hour, you meet other moms while your baby rolls on the floor.

I signed up for a different program, Stroller Moms. 3 times a week they meet, 15.00 a week, to wheel along with them in a public park. This one caught my attention, since it was 3 times a week.

The YMCA is on my corner...a cool $74.00 a month. I was going to sign up for baby swim lessons, pediatrican talked me out of it.

Today, I felt like a good mom. My little bear was handed his first library card. We picked out books, then went to talk to the children's director regarding Books and Babies classes. Well, we made it on the waiting list. Hopefully, someone cancels. It would be a free program, once a week, reading and singing. The library sure has changed though, this one is complete with its own coffee shop.

I am shocked the church doesn't offer a similar program...but I am now on the hunt. This week, I am turning 29, I keep telling myself, I will have friends...

I have met some great people down here...all NY'ers though...
