I have and most likely always will be one of those girls who has been refered to as a "gamer"
Im not sure what the definition really is, I dont think I rank up there in "gamer" land but I do enjoy playing them.
I have always had games, I still have my original nintendo, and bust out some Donkey Kong or Super Mario 3 from time to time, Nintendo 64 was my fav, I played Perfect Dark for HOURS with the guys in highschool, we would crank my health up and they would all gang up on me on one hit kills. Good times.
I have had pretty much all the Game Boys, Segas, PSPs, DSs etc that there are, and thanks to my insomnia usually play them all night to keep from dying of bordem.
Gamecube was a pretty bug let down, however one of my fondest memories of my Aunt Wendy is sitting in the living room and listening to her giggle to herself while she played Harvest Moon, which since then has become another addiction of mine, I am currently playing it AGAIN on my DS... its one of those games you dont really have to pay much attention to which suites me just fine these days. Wii and I were good friends in the beginning, I have definatly gotten very drunk and played Mario Kart racing all night, and had friends over for bowling parties.
I even lost 20 pounds with Wii Fit plus before I went to Dominican ( then gained it ALL back while there lol)
We had the Xbox 360 for all of 2 weeks before we sold it, we got bored with it pretty quick.
For christmas I bought Steve the playstation 3. and he has more or less been addicted to the game Call of Duty - Black Ops. It doesnt help that pretty much everyone he knows also play this game religiously . I vowed not to start playing because I did not want to get hooked... well stupid me I tryed it, and now Im hooked ! as soon as Emma goes for her nap (which these days are few and far between) I get Hailey fed, and jump online. I and definatly NOT good at this game yet. but I dont care. Its my "mommy time"... thats right, I have even given up having a bath to play this game... If you know me at all you know how odd that is.
Yes I realize that while playing I could be doing many things, laundry, dishes etc... but my excuse is that Emma would be sooo disapointed if she didnt get to help with those things, she has definatly become mommy's little helper. for now, Hailey is just sleeping during that time anyway. and what mom out there doesnt have their little guilty pleasure... so what if mine includes blowing people up in game-land?
so there... Im done... back to Nuke-Town I go... love and rockets

Venting... and an update on the kidlets =)
Lately I feel like I am being pulled in a million different directions. Like everything I am doing is the wrong thing in someway, and I just cant seem to get it right.
I have an intense feeling of guilt for Hailey being in the hospital, every thought from "did I drink to much coffee?" to "why couldn't I suck it up and deal with the pain better" runs through my head a gazillion times a day. and then there is the fact that I had to be away from my Em for almost 3 weeks with just visits, and still now with Hailey being in the hospital she is missing out on her Mom time, I have to spend as much time as I can with Hailey to get her home, which means Em has to spend more time with out me.
so I spend as much time as I can when I am at home with Emma which of course makes me feel guilty for not doing more around the house. Or for not having time to make Steve's lunch or even make dinner. I was put in the hospital just a few days after Christmas and we just moved in before that, so we hadn't even finished unpacking yet, dinning room is still full of boxes, bedrooms are a mess of clothes and our furniture still isn't even in the right spots, where am I going to find time to do everything? Hailey could be home within the week, Steve works full time sometimes not even getting home until 7 and we have to be at the hospital to feed Hailey at 8 o'clock.
This is just scratching the surface.
On the other hand I am so blessed to have everything I have, and the people around me who have been so amazing and supportive through everything.
I cant believe how lucky I am to have such amazing people in my life, I mean not many people would have taken Emma down to sick kids for us, its a pretty intense thing, and takes an entire day.
People who took the time out of there day to just come and sit with me, deliver me goodies, look after our daughter. even friends who had us over for a night of video games and relaxing is amazing. How could I ask for more?
Emma is such a little smarty pants these days, she will sit for an hour and have a tea party with her teddy bear, and carry on an entire conversation.
She has pretty much conquered her colors, at times when she is not paying attention she will mix up colors like pink and purple. but she knows them.
When we went to Sick kids last week she decided she was a fairy that day, and everywhere we went she would have to "fly!" which pretty much entails her running as fast as she can (which is pretty adorable to watch with her brace on) and flapping her arms. Waiting rooms to Emma just means there are people sitting around needing to be entertained with song and dance routines.
Hailey, sweet little Hailey, I can not believe how much bigger she feels at only 2 weeks old, she has not put on alot of weight, but she has filled out alot, and doesn't feel so fragile.
she is doing better taking her feeds, we just have a problem keeping her awake long enough, especially breast feeding, it just tuckers the poor girl out!. So we have been bottle feeding her my breast milk a few times a day to give her a bit of a break but still get her strength up. considering she wasn't even suppose to be born yet, she is doing amazing. We just want her home.
