Things I like

Oranges, Cherry Vanilla Diet Dr. Pepper, fresh seafood, children who wake up happy and stay that way ALL DAY! , School vacations, when my husband parks my car in the garage on a cold morning, or when he leaves the one with 4-wheel drive at home, Dolphins, the color blue, sad movies, funny movies, Rock and Roll, people who get my name right on the very first try!

Why did i have children?

So I have been asking myself in the last few days "Why did I have children?" Specifically, why did i have a second child after I had raised the first one? I have watched my normally happy, giggly, spirited 2 year old become a whiny, clingy, independent, demanding child! I still love her to death, but there are some days where I wish I could return her and get my money back. I went to Cancun with my husband a few weeks ago, and left my daughters with my mom and dad. Well, Lily (the 2 year old) had a cold and was sick the whole time, and since we came back, she has been clingy. This was the first time I had been away from her for more than a day, so I understand the behavior, I just can't stand it somedays.

In the Beginning

So, my sister talked me into a Blog of my very own. So here it is. I am a middle aged housewife, who loves Rock-'n-Roll music, scrapbooking, being with my family, and having fun. The main reason that I created this blog was because I joined Weight Watchers in November of 2006. I have done really well, and have lost 30 pounds, but I needed a kick in the butt to keep going. So I thought if I publish my progress, and my thoughts and feelings in black and white, I would be more accountable to myself. But this blog will not only be about Weight Watchers. I am also a BIG Monkees fan, and I love to talk about just anything that comes to my head. Hence the name "Random Thoughts". And I have always had the reputation in my family of being the TALKER!!! So, there is never a shortage of things to say. :)
