I need a bike

We got our daughter a bike for her birthday and she is getting very good at riding, though she still has training wheels. It makes me want a bike of my own, one I could pull our son around the neighborhood. The problem is, bikes are expensive. I have seen a lot at some of the pawn shops, but I'm not sure how good of a deal that would be, and if they would need reconditioning, which I don't feel like doing. So, I'll hit craigslist and find nothing and scout out new bikes to see what I want and how much it is and stay in this "wanting" place for a while longer.

My healthy son

I'm going to talk about my son for a moment, because he's sitting on my lap. I say he's healthy because he loves to snack on berries. Whole blueberrries, Craisins, or raisins. He gets some salty snacks too, but for sugar snacks I'm satisfied with him eating something with positive nutritional benefits. I'm not really a health freak. In fact, I completely messed up our daughter. She is healthy, but she's picky and doesn't like many veggies. I didn't eat well as a child and didn't do a lot of research on food and youth diets until I decided to make my son's baby food. This boy loves his food. There are a few things he won't eat, but only a few.

cloth diapering addict

I am addicted to cloth diapers! If you are thinking "yuck" or that I must be "brave", look into it and see, it's not that gross or difficult. As one site said, "they're not your grandma's diapers". Anyway...I am an addict. I love how soft they are, that they don't tear like disposables, they are so cute too! Some are nearly as thin as disposables. I want to buy them all the time. I put on my wish lists gift certificates to some of those stores I like to buy diapers from (no, I never get any). My only wish is to be able to use them at daycare, then I would never have to spend a dime a disposables. It is a bit more work than disposables, but when you love something (meaning the diapers), it's worth it. My son is worth it too.

This is me...

I have a lot of thoughts that go through my head on a regular basis. I am one of the people who can't seem to turn off the background noise. I no longer want to "bother" my facebook friends with my random banter, only those who want to know. This will be stuff about my husband, my kids, my mom, and of course...me. I'm hoping this will be an alternative to being a writer, which my grandmother always thought I could do, however I could never continue to flow with the same topic. My main interests (which usually come up in an introduction) are being a good wife and mother. I know that may sound typical, and even lame. I am however, what my mom describes as a "professional mom". If there is information out there about how to be a better mom, or a better person as a mom, I've probably at least looked into it. I am also interested in improving my marriage. Mind you, there is nothing wrong with my marriage, I just don't want it to end up that way.
