Momma Aimone's Messy Life

It has been almost a year since my last post.  At first I was embarrassed, but to be honest...2013 was tough.  March and April were busy, our home was burglarized in May, our son turned two and I had my first gallbladder attack the night before his birthday party in June, I had my gallbladder removed in August, we went on our first family vacation a few weeks later.  I had fully intended on jumping back into the blog-osphere in September, but then we found out we were pregnant with Baby #2, I was in the middle of a super intense time at work and...a really great company began recruiting me for a new job.   So now it is mid-February 2014.  I am 28 weeks pregnant, and I started my new job less than 30 days ago.  Am I insane?  Probably.  Is anyone surprised?  Probably not. But I have made myself a promise, that I will do my best to be the best wife, mother, daughter, sister, friend and employee I can be.  I will not try to to live up to expectations of others, instead, I will follow m
