Introduction....to me & my life

Remove Formatting from selection
This is my first blog, call me "mommy-come-lately-to-blogging." Well I guess later is better than never. I don't know what this blog will turn into, guess I'll just go with the flow and see. I'll start with an intro if you don't know me.
I am an outspoken yet loving woman in my mid-30's. Married to my soul mate for 8 years now. We have two very awesome and gorgeous girls, the first is just a little of 3 yrs old the 2nd is approach her first birthday in March 2010. I have a Masters degree in counseling and worked for 12 years in the mental health field before we were blessed with our first child. I put my career as a mental health therapist on hold to be a stay-at-home mom. I am blessed that we can afford for me to stay home and enjoy our girls during these critically important first years of life.
I am an Air Force wife as well as a mom. My husband is a Captain (he goes up for his Major boards soon) in the Medical Service Corp. Best way to describe what he does is to say his is a hospital administrator for the Air Force. He choose to serve his country after receiving his MBA because he was an "Air Force Brat" his father was a retired Major and my hubby (his nick name is EK) just missed the Air Force life. Luckily I was a semi-AF brat, I didn't really grow up like he did but my dad was in the Air Force (Ret. Lt. Col.) but my parents divorce when I was very young and I went with my mother but I still visited the bases from time to time so I was familiar with the life.
Anyway currently I stay very busy with my two girls, being a member of a local MOPS (Mothers of Preschoolers) group and two playgroups.

I think that's all for today, its almost 2 pm and I'm already very tired. Got up early, the girls and I went to the gym for a couple of hours, then met a friend and her kiddos at the park and had a picnic, then home for nap time. Girls are currently sleeping so I thought I'd get a start on this.
Oh wait Big News of the day: my youngest, Lillian, finally got her first tooth today! She's 10 months old and has been teething for I swear 6 months, so I was quite excited that one finally appeared. Maybe that's why she was up from midnight till 1am last night. I could swear she was punishing me for having daddy put her to sleep instead of me. I went to a Mom-Night-Out gathering for MOPS. I didn't fall asleep until 11pm so to be awakened an hour later by my screaming baby, was to-say-the-least not on my list of things I really wanted to be doing at the moment.
Well that was a long good bye for the day...I tend to be long winded. Don't bother reading this blog if that bothers you because I'm sure I'm not going to change that about myself anytime soon. Later--
