captain lame

So I've come to the conclusion I'm lame. I sit here and read all of your blogs and read about your lives and I feel like i'm a big lazy lame ass. Seriously....Most my friends that blog have one or two kids and some also have jobs along with the mommy job...yet still blog and still have time to cook and try recipes and find fun things to do for yourselves and/or your kids...or have time to travel....AND me...i feel like i do none of those things...its a good day if i go to the gym or if i take the time to blog....I only work 3 days a week or more if i pick up extra but i have a husband who enjoys cooking (which i really dont most of the time) and who's so anal that he cleans more than me...So where does this leave me? Before i was married I danced, did artsy and crafty stuff, was at the gym almost everyday, spent lots of time w/ friends and now i find myself in a funk....and i think its been like this for a while now....

Its hard to make friends, believe it or not. It would be so easy for me to just move where i have established friends...it makes me jealous and sometimes sad to see all the photos of friends and their families getting together (b/c they live close). They do fun things....can just pick themselves up and say lets go the park with ....(fill in the blank).....*sigh*..I have yet to find people to hang out with ....I recently went out and also had gone to a "friends" house for some dinner, drinks and kareoke (sp?)...it was SO much fun...but then i called them recently to see if anyone wanted to get lunch and see a movie and no one called back???? (so i went by myself--which is not a problem or new for me) i dont get it...i was kinda bummed....makes you feel bad and like you're not fun or something? i dunno....i go through this no and again and i get all poopy.....

I also keep telling myself i'm going to look into classes...you know like art or dance classes just so i can do something for myself and either i lose motivation or something....ahhhhhhhh..
Anyway this started b/c i found myself being envious of all you, my friends, that seem to have it together and that your lives seem "full" and by full i mean full of joys, accomplishments, passions, and zest...

i think i need to take sometime to find that again.....any suggestions on how to go about that?

We're back

So happy belated mommy's day to all my mommy friends out there. We were in the Keys from Wed-Sunday. We flew back into town last evening. Will, Landon and I went to Islamorada with Will's parents. It was a nice break. We got in Wed. afternoon, went to the pool and went to dinner. Will and his dad went fishing the next day and Becky, me and landon just hung out and went to the pool. Basically that was what we did. Went to the pool and ate good food. I think i gained like 10lbs while i was there. Trips are awesome, i just dread the traveling part. Especially w/ a toddler. I can only imagine what it'll be like w/ one or two more kids....To all you out there with multiple kids..kudos to you!!!! So now its back to work. I work tues,wed, thur night then on friday landon and i are driving to charlotte for my niece leah's 3rd bday....its hard to believe she's 3, oh how time flies......Will starts clinicals this week, so cute..i told him i wanted to take a pic of him on his first day, you know when he's all dressed in his scrubs..he just rolled his eyes at me..haha..

oh! Landon went poopy in the potty last night...not by his own doing though..not really. He was taking a bath and i could tell he needed to go...i said, "landon do you need to go poopy?"....No mommy, no poopy. He cont. to play and be really sweet and is trying to distract me..i see him kinda push one time and i sweep him outta the tub and plop him on the potty...i say "landon, big boys go poopy on the potty"...so he does...and we took a picture to prove it...haha. I'm sure he'll love that when he's older....So he got m&ms as a reward..Yep, i'm all about rewards...

So i have some shot outs to do:
Happy belated anniversary to Jen and Bob....here's to many more years.....
The Konickis---my thoughts are with you...glad you're home Nik, stay off those feet and drink plenty of water.
Happy belated bday to my mom in law Becky....
Love to all......
