Rugrats in Paris? No, Rugrats in My Living Room

Ok, so the only time that I have blogged was on MySpace and let's face it, not many people on there are too worried about what problems I am having on potty training my daughter or getting my son to crawl. So, I went looking for a place that I might find people who are having some of the same issues as me and maybe get some advice. Plus, I love blogging. It helps me get out the feelings of the day in a constructive outlet. So, I'm going to take this post today as a way to introduce myself. My name is Jess. I am 21 years old and have two children under the age of 2. My daughter, Kylee, is 21 months old and she's so much like me it's scary! It drives me nuts! Time to tell my mom how sorry I am for my childhood!!! Haha! I now understand a lot of the things that she has tried to beat into me over the years. Then, there's my little man, Keegan. He's 7 months old. Up until the last few weeks, he was the easiest baby I have ever been around. He seemed to be so content just being a baby. Didn't worry about wanting to crawl, sit up, or do anything really. If I wanted to, I could put him in his walker and leave him there for hours at a time and he would be fine (don't think I ever really did that though). Lately, due to cutting teeth and having a cold I think, he has been pretty fussy and clingy. Could be his age, could be teeth coming through, could be his cold. Could be a mix of all. Yes, I was nuts to have my children 14 months apart, because I feel like I am constantly doing something. Never have time to just sit! Crazy dayz! Plus, I am doing this all by myself. I won't be someone who will get on here and completely whine about their father and how much he is or isn't in their lives. I will just leave it at the statement that I am a single mom doing it all by myself. We are living at my mom's house right now because I can't afford to rent anywhere. I am also in college online at Kaplan University studying to get my degree in Medical Transcription. I will graduate next March in Chicago! Yay! So, I think that's probably enough for today. I'm going to go do some laundry while the kids are perched in front of the TV watching Rugrats In Paris! LaterZ!

Random: Every time that Kylee wakes up whether it be from a nap or in the morning, she wants her brother. The first thing out of her mouth is "Keegan, Keegan" Hmmm. Then she either heads upstairs to find him or goes into look into his crib. Very protective!
