I came over from Open Diary…I was away from my diary a long time ! So a little about me…first, my OD name was ShaeBayBee and I just decided to go with a new name here because I’m hardly the same person who opened that diary years ago.

The BEST part of my life right now is I have a 4 month old daughter and as you can tell by my user name, her name is Cassidy! Cassidy Rayne....my sweet little girl! She’s a really good baby who has let me sleep most of the night since day one, she’s alert and smiles a lot and hardly ever fusses unless she REALLY needs something. She’s 4 months old now and growing like a weed! She has a look in her eyes like she knows exactly what is going on only she can’t talk yet so she can’t call you out on any of it! I’d better watch out for when she learns words!

I guess I should mention I’m a “new” Mom at 42 years old. I have a 22 year old son from my first marriage, Justin. My 2nd husband, Sam, I’ve been with going on 9 years now. I love my family to pieces and I think maybe I’ll do an entry on each person as I go on so you can get to know what makes me tick.

I’m a legal assistant and I love the work I do but I don’t love my job as I don’t get paid much and I put up with a lot for the little I get paid but NOT complaining because I’m grateful to have a job, period.

I’m hoping to figure out something to start making money on the side and maybe that could some day be something I can do full time from home because I want more than anything to just get to stay with my daughter. Currently, my step daughter, Cherie watches her. Cherie has a daughter, Emily…my step-grandbaby. I’m sure there will be random ramblings about them from time to time.

This week, I’ve started cleaning up my diet to try to lose the baby weight. I’ve always been on the chubby side and I don’t expect to ever be skinny but I do want to be as healthy as possible to set a good example for my daughter. I’m doing good so far this week and have lost 1.8 lbs.

Well, that’s a start, I’m at work and don’t want to get into trouble…I’ll come back later to write some more!
