Lost in cyberspace! My intro part two!

I have often heard that once something is on the Internet, it will be there forever.  Leave it to me to lose my first post somewhere out in cyberspace.  Since that was my was of introducing myself, I will try to do that again.
I am a stay at home mom in Pennsylvania.  My oldest child, a precocious daughter, is 9 going on 19.  She is in third grade and loves math, science, rollerblading and cheerleading.  One year, she wanted a brother for Christmas, and got her wish...nine months later.  I suffered from empty nest syndrome from the moment the bus had pulled away on the first day of kindergarten.  Now that she wanted a sibling too, there was more incentive to have two children.  My son is a sweet, rambunctious, adventurous little man who loves to cuddle, climb, and play with cars.  He is absolutely in love with everything to do with cars and already has a love for car racing to challenge the most avid of fans.  This amuses and alarms me....I may need help in a few years if he decides to try to race one himself!
So far in life, I have had many jobs.  I have worked a McDonald's drive thru window, printed pictures at the mall and waited on people in department stores.  I have been a student and a teacher.  I taught high school for the school district of Philadelphia and drama at a small school in the country.  I taught summer school, worked as a substitute teacher, and even as a prevention specialist.  All of these jobs never fully prepared me for the moment I would undertake the most difficult, demanding, rewarding, and long lasting job I could imagine...the job of mommy.  Since a rainy December morning in 2003, I have never fully known what to expect next.
As a stay at home mom, please don't ask what I did all day.  Some days we do ambitious activities and others, it is something simple like sitting on the pee-pot, as my son calls it, for over two hours in a day without success.  Both are reasons to celebrate, the second because
1.  I managed to have little man sit ANYWHERE for an extended period of time, and
2.  Someday, it WILL work!
Life is full of adventures and unknown events.  One thing that I do know is that the greatest job I have ever had can also be called, the diaper changer in the house!
