1- You heard the doorman at the Hampton Inn ask me if my twins were Fraternal or Maternal?
2- You were standing by the ice cream machine at Sizzler when my gay cousins boyfriend walked up behind me and I said "Hey Ricco, you're Jordan's ... (insert awkward pause, short laugh).." and he says "Yeah!" (also awkward).
3- Noticed that every channel on Direct TV last night had the words "Discrete Shipping" written accross the bottom.
4- Saw that every channel also contained wording such as Brazillian Butts, Pole Dancing, Juicing with Jack, and/or Trojan Buzzer.
5-Heard my kids laughing as they rode the cart down the hallway with Grandpa at 11:00 at night.
6- Saw Josh, both babies and myself attempting to sleep in the same full size bed. Kyle and Andrea were in the next bed and I'm sure will be sleeping better tonight than they ever have. Let's just say that they angel babies weren't angels.
7- Woke up at 9:00 to Dan pounding on the hotel room door and felt a baby with a leaky diaper on my face.
8- Witness me taking a spoon away from Katie, that still had yogurt on it, and accidentally throwing it into my hair.
9- Being the oldest people (minus the parentals) with the loudest children at the student ward that Kyle and Andrea attend where people stare. A lot.
.... and last but certainly not least
10- Leaving the stinkiest diaper of the century on Kyle & Andrea's porch when we left because we forgot about it when we walked out. (Sorry about that guys, we meant to throw it away. Hopefully the cold will freeze the smell in with it! Love you!)

Some Randomness...
To catch you up...
Babies first birthday was Fun! Losts of presents, cake, and mess!
Christmas was Great! More present, less cake, and huge mess!
New Years was okay. We went to Josh's Parents for soup and then home for pork tacos (awesome).
I have thus far refused to get on the scale. I'm sure it's a ginormous amount that I would rather not deal with, nor would I like the hit to my self esteem so I refuse to see how much I gained. (Probably about 4-5 lbs.) So Josh and I have been talking about the fact that I would very much like to quit my job. I'm having a hard time with this because flying for free is amazing, the fact that usually I only end up working about 10 hours a week and it's in my house is really nice. But since Christmas I have been working an extreme amount of overtime plus my normal hours. While I appreciate that my paycheck is more than the .69 cents it was the week before Christmas, it just plain sucks. I hate it. My kids hate it (at least I think they do) and I have been so grumpy. Such a crappy way to end the year.
So the reason I'm spilling all of this info is because although the flight benefits are awesome and you cant beat working in the basement we've made a Unofficial New Years Resolution. If I can make the budget work with just him income and still live life then I can quit.
First place I look for extra money is in our food budget. Let me just say HUGE! Although I love to cook sometimes it's tough and we end up going out, more than we should, like 2-3 times a week. To add to that Josh stinks at packing a lunch, if I don't make it and pack it he doesn't take it and then he goes out to lunch. Let's just say the majority of our extra money goes to food.
Don't think that we don't save though. Josh is all about the budget, has been since we got married. It's just the "fun" money usually ends up in the "food" money.
So I've made a promise to myself that we cut back on eating out to once a week. Week one is going well. So far... no eating out for dinner; although we plan to on Saturday since we're going to Logan for the night.
To help me keep my plans to quit in order I've decided that I just need to cook everynight. I'm still giving myself the one night a week lee-way (I don't know how to spell that). The 10 gift cards we got for Christmas will help in this area (horray for Cafe Rio). The other thing is that my friend Brittney did these posts on her blog last year where she had a monthly email with pictures and recipes of some of the things that she cooked that month. I loved that post every month. So I will be attempting do something similar and post every month. Hopefully I can make it work and by the end of the year not have to have this job anymore.
Wish me luck....
