Blog Slacker...

So, we can all come to the same conclusion...that is I seriously SUCK at blogging! I always have such good intentions to blog, and one would think I'd have all kinds of time to do it working straight nights and all, but here we are almost 3 months since my last post and I'm finally posting again. I really do want to be better about keep my blog and you all updated.

I guess one thing I'm learning is that the older Ryder gets the less time I have to do anything for me. For example: Massages - I used to get monthly massages on my days off work and now the only time I manage to get a massage is after a night shift when I should be sleeping. Another example: Pedicures - My feet used to look amazing. I used to treat myself to monthly pedicures. I have had 2 since Ryder came into this world. And another example: Exercise - Okay, I'll admit I've never been a gym rat but I did manage to get there on a semi-regular basis pre-motherhood. Now the only time I workout is at night after Ryder has gone to bed. Thank God for Jillian Michaels workout DVDs!

Now, don't get me wrong. I'm not upset or resentful towards Ryder or anything like that. These changes are welcome changes. I would way rather be a mommy than have a back that doesn't hurt, pretty toes, or a banging body. Life didn't matter until that little guy came into our life on May 22, 2011. He is truly my reason for being and my reason for waking up each and every morning. I thank God for Ryder and feel truly blessed to be taking this journey through motherhood with him.

Mommy's big boy!

Can you believe my little guy is ONE already?!?! Coming soon: a post detailing Ryder's 1st birthday party. But first I'll be doing a general update on what's new in ours' and his life. Stay tuned!
