Been A Super Long Time...

    Well its been a super long time since I have been on here. Just been lost in most of every day things. Stressed out and just being plain tired. The terrible twos are taking their toll on me most days to the point of wanting to lock myself in the bathroom. I have come up with a solution of using my Mp3 player to tune out Sam's screaming at nap time. Most days I dont put her down for a nap, but some days she is just a touch on the side of being a crazy person. I can't wait to get my little sweetheart back from the clutches of this monster known as the terrible twos. SMH.
   On another note, Sam is getting to be the little girl though. She is talking better and is starting to pretend. She seen the dance group at the mall practicing and ever since then she dances around the living room and doing the jumps and spins and throws in a somersault for good measure. Hopefully I can get her into the dance class in the fall. Maybe with the extracurricular activity, her rambuctousness will be tamed if only for a minute. I want to start a curriculum for getting her ready for Kindergarten, but I have the faintest of ideas where to begin. Hmm... I guess I shall start researching the internet for some ways to begin.
   On to the Littliest Princess, Payton. She is so crazy. Love her bunches. She is walking and she can say dada, mama, dog, sisser, and baba. She can wave when you tell her hi or bye. So sweet. No teeth yet but I have a feeling they are going to be making their debut soon. She is sleeping through the night most nights because I increased her bottles from 3 (8oz) to 4. She is on table food and wont eat the baby food. Having no teeth doesnt stop her from chowing down on the grub. LOL.
    I started babysitting my neice, Alice on Mondays and Tuesdays. She is a handful. Shes almost 2 and is bigger than my almost 3 year old. She tends to be more baby than I remember Sam being at that age, so I get frustrated at the simple things that I know a child of her age should be able to do. So by the time Wednesday comes I am exhausted as well as my girls being exhausted. It usually takes a full 24 hours post Alice to get back to regular. I am at a lost for words when it comes to the way my girls act after being around her. What am I to do with this situation? Probably nothing. Hmm..
    Im a little ashamed of myself for how I am handling stuff around the house. Being tired ALL the time is really a bummer when there is stuff to clean and take care off. Maybe an iron supplement or something will help. Insomnia doesnt help either. I have come to the conclusion that I cannot tolerate any bread or pasta. It makes my tummy hurt. Now since that is a problem that Atkins can take care of, I just need the willpower to overcome my sugar addiction.
  Ok, now onto the positive stuff in MY world. I have 4 weeks left of my bachelor degree!! I will be done with school. So excited. What have I learned from these past 2 years? HAHA the answer is simple, nothing that I didnt already know. Sad? Yes. Most of the assignments were not even something I needed to know for the career that my degree is suppose to get me. Paid a load of money for a piece of paper saying I have some common sense. Great, right? Oh well, most places train you the first couple days anyways, Ill just get more money in pay for the piece of paper. Maybe well be able to buy a house and save for the girls' college fund. Oh and grocery shop too!! Since that is my favorite way to shop. Actually that is becoming a chore too.
Here are a few pictures of the girls:
