I am having a hard time getting into the whole twitter thing. I know what you are saying...."it's been around for such a long time already, everyone is on it!" Yes I know it has been around for a while- I am not that dumb, but I really can't get into it- I have tried it (yes, I have a twitter account). Does everyone need to know what I am doing at every second of the day? Not unless you are my stalker and I am quite sure I don't have one of those. I don't know if I really care about following people throughout the day either.... its a little annoying I think. But hey, if you wanna tweet and wanna follow people, then do it. Don't let my opinion sway your decision.
I know I am gonna sound old here but I do think that twitter is for the younger generation. If I had a phone in high school and was able to get on the web at any time, then I would have probably had a twitter account so all my friends would know my each and every move.
It makes me wonder why people need to 'follow' people and have 'followers'. I feel like the people who want and need to know what I am doing are my close friends and family and if they need to know what I am doing they will call me. Whatever happened to that? Calling people and snail mail are things of the past. Emails, twitter and text messages are the future I guess. Are you ready for it? I'm not sure if I am....yet.

You feed me and I feed you
This one is gonna be short and sweet.
My sons had a play date today with a friends son today. I have known her since I was in first grade (many moons ago) and I think it is really cool that we both have kids and they are growing up together. My son Joaquin loves cheerios and so does her son B. So when she was feeding B some cheerios, Joaquin grabbed some and popped a few in his mouth while watching B being fed. Somehow he came up with this idea to feed B. One cheerio in his mouth and the other cheerio went to B. I got it on video and it was so sweet watching him do that. That right there was a great moment for me. I know now that I am doing a pretty good job raising my son- he knows how to share (yay!)!
Hopefully he gets better with sharing other things besides food and I will keep you updated with that!

Plans are for suckers
So my plan to blog every day or two hasn't really worked out too well, and I'm kinda ok with it. It's hard to find the time during the day or even at night to do this and I'm considering myself lucky for having the energy to type right now.
Over the weekend the hubs and I took a mini vacay to NYC. We spent the night in a hotel, went to dinner, hung out at the museum and ventured into some random bars (mostly to keep warm). It was relaxing not having the kids with us but I still woke up every few hours at night. My sister and her husband took care of the kids so I knew they were in good hands... I'm just used to waking up every few hours to feed the little one. I must admit that I had the best nights sleep I've had in months.
So I've been thinking about warm weather and what I can do with the kids besides going to the park or beach. I would love it if Joaquin learned how to plant seeds and grow some plants. I want him to have something he can do himself and be proud of himself for doing a good job. He's been funny..... When he feels he does something good he sits there and claps for himself. Way too cute if you ask me. He shows me his huge smile and giggles as well. He's a funny kid.
I really want to have some things accomplished by the middle or end of summer. I'm trying to be realistic with my goal because I could have easily said I want these things done by the end of spring and it just wouldn't have happened. On with my list: buy a composter and start to compost. Find a part time job (I don't really want this one but I know it's needed). Learn to knit or crochet (with what time?? I don't know!), and a few more things that I can't remember right now. Its that darn mommy brain thing again! : P
Every day I think of more things I may want to start doing but all my life is right now is watching the kids, feeding the kids, changing the kids, pumping, cleaning, laundry, cooking, dishes and a little bit of sleep. It may not seem like a lot but it is when most of those repeat throughout the day!
The life of a mother never stops.... she is always on duty.
