Well...it's been a couple days since I've posted. Anyone still here? hehehe
I've been over at CafeMom.
Poking around a little bit and seeing if maybe it would be a better fit than Blogger for me. I've also been taking some on-line surveys, etc...I've gotten some pretty cool stuff in the mail from taking surveys. I've probably cashed a total of about 25 bucks in checks from survey sites and I have participated in 3 or 4 studies about baby products where they sent me diapers, wipes and such. It can keep you really busy if you do all the surveys that come your way. I created a special Gmail account just for survey stuff ~ that way when I have time I head on over to my Gmail and do some surveys and it doesn't clutter up my regular yahoo inbox. That was one of my brighter ideas. :)
Last but not least, I've been busy. My grandmother visited and we saw her a few times last week. She lives in Florida. We had a wonderful time. My kiddos just LOVED her! We went shopping on Tuesday and spent a lot of cash - Grandma wanted to give us the kids Christmas and Birthday money while she was here and take us shopping for things they needed. We are all set for clothes for both of them now! What a blessing!!! Other than winter boots, they are both good to go until spring! :) ~ Well, I want to buy the Christmas outfits...but Jerry thinks they can wear something they already have. We'll see.
I've had Ethan all week - and things have been going really well. It just keeps me going. And makes me pretty tired by the end of the day.
The not smoking thing is going really well...tomorrow will be 1 week since I had a cigarette. I miss it soooo much. It's funny because it's not the nicotine, it's the break I use to get by heading outside to smoke for 5 minutes. My mom suggested I take a tea break and make it special somehow. (I've given up Diet Pepsi, too...I'm a glutton for punishment these days). Who knows...I'm getting by. I just keep thinking, "What am I going to do when I'm around smokers? How am I going to handle wanting one then?" Last time I quit, I was pregnant and didn't really hang out with any smokers or anything for the first 4/5 months after I quit...except my SIL, but she's not a BIG smoker so it wasn't so bad. Eh ~ I will cross that bridge when I have to.
I'm going to bed...I'm really really tired and Ethan's going to be here by 6:30 tomorrow morning. It's gonna be another LONG day. :)

I am so proud of you for not smoking! You are doing great. You should give yourself a 5 minute break of doing something healthy for yourself, your mom was right.
That's great about the surveys and such. I have mypoints and they reward points for emails and surveys. I actually got a $50 Old Navy gift card recently that I used to buy maternity clothes. Nice deal... I'm opening emails anyway - may as well get 5 points every time I do. If you are not already using mypoints, may I refer you? I get points for that too!!
Take care, and glad to hear from you again.
