Well, well look who has moved in! I am so excited to be here. For those of you who don’t know, I have been keeping a diary on Preconception.com for the past 4 months. If you would like to read up on my life over that time I think I am in the graduates section! Happy reading!
*********************************************IT’S SNOWING! I can’t believe that winter is here again! I am completely unprepared for crowded shopping malls, wrapping paper, and debt! Ahhhhhh! Where has this year gone? It has really all got me thinking about this time last year. I was beginning to show and everyone knew that I was expecting. I have a feeling the next couple of months are going to be tough. Moving on...
Maxwell is so wonderful! I am amazed on a daily basis how much changing goes on it two years. From a sweet, innocent, helpless little baby to an opinionated, smart, talkative little man. He is absolutely addicted to hockey. I didn’t mention in my intro that I come from a hockey family. My dad played in the NHL for 16 years and now is a coach in the WHL. Hockey is a way of life for us, and Maxwell is quickly adapting to that! He is already skating and absolutely loves going to watch Papa’s hockey games. I always swore that I would never involve my children in hockey, but it looks like Max has involved himself! I am in for it for sure!
Something I haven’t mentioned in previous entries – Mike and Money. He is an absolute spendaholic! This past year we have struggled more in the financial department then ever before. We both have fabulous jobs and make pretty good money. We should have NO MONEY PROBLEMS…but we do. Don’t get me wrong, bills and mortgage payments are made on time and we really don’t want for much. But when I think of the money we make and compare it to the savings account that doesn’t exist it makes me sick! We fight about his habits all the time. I am the saver, but I am also the bill payer. I have tried to give him this responsibility in the hopes that it would open his eyes to reality, but to no avail. I don’t know what to do. I have talked, screamed, cried, fought and nothing has changed. I am going to go crazy!
Well I guess that is all for my first MT Diary entry! I am so happy to be here and excited to meet everyone! If you have advice on what I should do with Mike the Money Mongrel please, please share it!

P.S. Good luck to everyone on Precon. this week!
