Okay, here we are at August 7th and I have one more month off of work, I need to get out, so please let's have a girls night soon, I can even host, just give me some notice so I can kick my kids and husband out of the house...
Mary is 4 months old and weighs 13 lbs, and is 25 inches long, she has grown 4 inches since birth.
This really has probably been one of my most boring summers ever, we have not done much. we may go to the fair on Sunday. We have been to a ton of playgrounds, caz, Tim Russert, West Seneca, Harlem, etc. We have been to the zoo a ton as well, any takers I am always open to going, Maddie loves it, if I could ever figure out pictures on this I could show you guys how she fed the giraffe a cracker and loved it, walked right up and put it in his mouth.
Mark started his EMT training this week, it has been kind of tough, b/c it is every night from 6-10 and Sat from 8-4, at least he gets paid, right?
I just read my last Blog about past boyfriends, man I must have been having a bad husband day, I can't even believe I wrote some of that stuff... I love Mark, yikes! If he ever read it... Who knows maybe he thinks the same thing sometimes.
Any way, hoping to see you guys soon, Jaime I loved the video of Mikey fishing, so cute! Talk soon!

Past Boyfriends
Is it just me or do we seem to run into our exes when we look at our worst, I have seen my three times since I have been home. Once at Wegmans, looking like white trash end of the day both girls in huge cart and it was like a 100 degrees outside, with hubby. (Who then proceeded to tell me I should go and proclaim my undying love for him in cereal aisle)
2nd while I was walking them down Potters road and he pulled over to say hello, when I walk, I put on addidas shorts and a grubby shirt and just go, no makeup, hair not great, whatever, and then the worst of all
3rd, standing on a ladder on my porch, barefoot with paint all over me in a tank top, looking again like white trash!! WTF!
Of course the two out of three times, he was dressed in suit coming home from work...
Is it just me and I can't beleive I am even writing this, but does anyone ever question, what if their life would have turned out the other way? Don't get me wrong, I love Mark and my girls, but sometimes I just wonder, especially these days, when every day feels like Ground Hog's day. Is it my age, or is it just time for me to go back to work... Please Blog I need to know I am not crazy and going to jump through anyone's kitchen window (just kidding)!
So after seeing him three times I wrote an email, just commenting on whole Seneca thing and he responded, told me he was going on trip with family to Crystal along with some updates re his family... Why after eleven years, yes 11 why do I still care??? Oh well, another boring Saturday night, looking forward to Moondance... still kind of enjoying being home, think we should be able to make it til Sept without going too broke, we will see!!
(maybe I should keep a journal)

Wicked- Biggest Loser Challenge
Hey girls, just writing to check in, life is crazy here as well but at least Jaime, Catie and I are still blogging, what happened to the rest of you??
Mary Jane is almost 11 weeks old and weighs 11lbs 4oz and is 23 3/4 inches long, she is big! She is smiling and laughing now and starting to turn over, I remember I loved this age with Maddie, she is also getting over her fussy period from 6-9pm, THANK GOD!!
Jaime I can't believe Matt is 6 years old, I do remember that picture, wow time does fly. I think that everytime Madison says something new or does something new, she fell down the stairs tonight, that is the worst thing I have watched her do, but definitely not the first time, I think she has fallen at least three times in her lifetime, sscary!
She will be starting school in the fall, scary for me, but I kind of can't wait to see what kind of person she turns into...
Looking very forward to Wicked, bought a cute skirt tonight for $10 at NY, I have got to stay out of that store...
I started the South Beach yesterday, we will see, today was better than yesterday, I have been cooking all my meals and from scratch, some good recipes though, I have never done that in my history of being on this diet...
Last year I went on this diet about the same and lost ten pounds and then got pregnant. Not a chance of that I had an IUD put in to protect against that. I have a picture that I took from Sharon's last time she held girls night and am using it as my inspiration, it must have been after I broke up with Phil and before Cindy started having her eyebrows done... I was thin! Anyways see you alll Wednesday, are we carpooling or what, gas is expensive, we could meet here for anyone who needs to come in to go into the city, let me know your thoughts...
BYE!!

The Late Great Jimmy Griffin
Well today is Wednesday May 28th, and as you all know the Mayor has recently passed. I did attend his wake yesterday to show respect for such a wonderul man. He recently just came to my Mom's wake and I thought I couldn't believe how sharp he was even back then. I have a couple of good stories as I am sure we all do, but one I like to recall is when the Mayor was running for re-election when I was little, I called him on the phone the morning of the race and wished him "Good Luck!" My Dad thought it was cool that he had his phone number in the book, and tghe mayor was like thank you so much! Have a good day in school! Imagine that a number in the book, without caller ID, my how things have changed, anyway, I will always remember the Mayor fondly! RIP Mayor Griffin!
Other than that not too much else is going on, Mary getting bigger everyday she is starting to smile and sleep from about 10:30 to 6am. Maddie repeating every word I say, such as "Pay Attention," and she even says it with the grunt that I say when I am putting on her socks. She cracks me up more and more every day, although we definitely have our moments! Looking forward to some warmer weather, and still being home, I could totally get into this not working thing, especially when I can get out and talk to people, even if it is just the oldies but goodies at the grocery store!
Unfortunately, I did receive my notice today that I have to go back by Sept 8th, in order to have a job, I know like it seems like a long time still and I know it is, but it will go fast I am sure!
Oh well, take care and someone else better post besides me and Jaime!!

Spina Scare
Okay so I had to take Mary back to dr. yesterday for third weigh in, she is now 9lbs 4oz, yeah, I think the dr. may be a little crazy. I think I probaably had the worst scare of my life. She wanted us to go to Children's for an ultrasound on baby's back to check for spina bifida! Seriously thought I was going to puke. My baby is very hairy on her back, but in some cases that is a sign of spina bifida. Thankfully we went today and she is FINE!! I cannot imagine another outcome right now and am so grateful for two healthy Girls! (not that any of you would know what having girls is like, JK)
So, besides that not too much else is new, had my first couple of drinks this past weekend, went to happy hour on Friday with people from work and went to meet Shannon, and Cindy at SAdolf's on Saturday night. It was nice almost felt human again...
I am not coming up to Casino on Saturday, made other plans, but have a great time and spin the slots for me! Good Luck!

Mom of Two
Hi Girls,
Day 11 of being a Mom of two, not so bad, started sun tanning yesterday, the weather has been beautiful. I took my girls out for their 2nd walk in our new double stroller, can I just say it is huge? I don't know if people were staring at me bc I was walking so slow or b/c the baby is so small or b/c the stroller is so big. I felt like the girls in deuce bigelow, I swear I heard someone yell freak. Just kidding.
I am living my life in 3 hour intervals right now, eat, sleep, change diapers, I know you have all been there, UGH I forgot how small life becomes, thank God its nice out, or else I would probably lose my mind! Post partum has not really kicked in this time, I think I have only cried once, not too bad?
It has been very nice visiting, I have definitely appreciated all of the company! I am going to try Wegmans tomorrow morning, let's see!
Mark informed me tonight he only has 7 more of his EMT classes, Thank goodness! I am glad he is doing it, but cannot wait for him to finish. He has since left the animal shelter and is back at the Streets Dept, he said it was too screwed up there. I guess I really don't care, except his hours are back to 7-2, vs 4-noon. I kind of liked those hours, I felt like we had more hours in the day. Oh well, talk soon, Jaime said something abt girls night, I definitely would partake, keep me posted!
Catie, not sure abt the moving thing, I think abt it all of the time, where would you go?Is it worth the aggravation??
Baby's christening, doing it on Mother's Day, I am only doing desserts, is that acceptable, what do you guys think? My family says it is okay, but I am not sure if they are just being nice?
