A New Year Begins

This is my first time to blog, and part of my new years resolutions to begin writing down the trials and joys of everyday in my bizarre world.

I had a baby in October of 2007, and it is obvious I haven't had time to blog at all. He is my 2nd noncompliant child. I had no idea that having children would be so difficult. Two children is a greater shock to my system than it was to go from no children to one and to say the least, I haven't returned to work from maternity leave.

I have to recap a little bit on 2007 and the things I have learned since October.

1. It takes me 45 minutes to even think about going anywhere.

2. If your 1st child is noncompliant there is an equally and more probable chance that your 2nd child will be noncompliant.

3. Time is not yours with two children and a husband.

4. If you didn't loose baby weight from the 1st pregnancy it is impossible to gain less weight with the second pregnancy or loose the weight faster.

5. After birth of the second child there are contractions a good six weeks after delivery.

6. Money disappears with 2

7. Going back to work early is hard, and each day children change.

8. I never knew exhaustion.

9. I am a dairy cow (by the way if anyone knows of a good way to sell breast milk I could use the income!)

10. My husband is the 3rd child, and all 3 children have needs greater than my own.
