Funny stuff

The other night as James and I were laying in my bed watching TV (he was watching his mini DVD player) it was kinda late and he fell asleep...so I leaned over and shut off his movie. Well sure enough as soon as it clicks off he wakes up and says "Hey! I was watching that!" So I say...sorry buddy it turned off let me fix it. I turn to flip it back on and he says under his breath..."geez,  I was totally watching that!" Haha

Home

Bath tub

For 3 years we rented a home that only had a shower! 2 pregnancies and 2 boys and only having a shower...ugh! Now we finally own our very first home that has 2 bath rooms and each one with a huge bath tub! Yay for me! Awww the little things in life :)

Just wanted to share a pic :)

I took this picture in Bloomington IN at Griffy Lake. Love this!!

Just bored and looking for something to talk about...

It's an early night for momma as I lay here snuggling with my "thing 1" watching transformers...."thing 2" is in bed already and the house is quiet. It was a very fast evening getting home later than usual having to stop for gas and pick up the kids from my sisters house...then dinner and playing, baths and now bed. It seems my days are flying by these days and I can't seem to slow them down. They (whoever that is) say that your kids grow up and move away in the blink of an eye...they weren't lying! Obviously my boys are still young but it's flying by...it makes me sad. It sucks to get so caught up with cooking and cleaning and working that you almost miss out on life...(obviously there are more things in between...I won't name every single thing I do during the day) weird! This is off the subject but did it piss anyone else off that they used a new girl in the transformer movie "dark of the moon"? It really ruined it...stupid jerks lol. Anyway I really don't have any thing else for now...just gonna snuggle some more and get stuff ready for tomorrow and do some laundry (wow I'm boring)!

Nighty night :) 

Things my 3 year old says...

We're driving down the road (we live out in the country which requires us to get places by driving on yucky bumpy roads) and the road we are on is pretty much terrible! So as we are driving and my 3 year old says mommy slow down it's too bouncy! I said jimmy, I am just driving...and he says mommy your not just driving your bouncing!! Lol silly boy :) 

Things kids say!

My oldest son (3 yrs) was laying in bed for the evening and asked me to lay with him. I snuggled up beside him and he put his head on my stomach laying and watching tv. (I will first say that I didn't eat any dinner) he looked up at me and said mommy...your belly is hurting...you need to eat something...it's hungry!! 

Buying a home...

Who would have thought buying a home would be so crazy difficult! Well after about 4 1/2 months we will finally be closing on our home tomorrow! This has been a long drawn out process but totally worth it. It is so exciting to be able to call a place "ours" and home! We went today and painted and cleaned it and now it's move in ready! I have to say I already have a little buyers remorse but hey...it's part of it right!? Luckily it's nothing huge and it's all good! I can finally relax and start enjoying things more now that I'm not stressing over this house. Things have been coming together for us in the last couple months and it's great! The hubby has a new job that doesn't require him to work 7 to 7 every day and he won't be on call anymore and he gets to spend more time with the kiddos. My sister is now keeping both my boys while I work and I couldn't be happier about that, and they feel the same! My oldest (turning 3 in a couple days) has had what I will call issues and they are finally coming together too...he has eczema and behavior problems and we couldn't get the kid to eat properly and he had an obsession with milk (like 8 to 9 cups a day, 9oz cups) and he recently started developing a rash (extreme eczema) all over his body...so I decided to change the milk, and I did and it's working. Along with meds and soy milk he has become a whole different kid! Behavior issues coming to a close, and down to maybe 1 to 2 cups of milk per day...asking for water and eating cereal with soy milk for breakfast and eating snacks during the day and dinner and wanting to eat all the time!! Not to mention he has just started taking his meds like a big boy (before me having to sit on him, hold him down and force him) now I tell him time for medicine and he says yup medicine time and drinks them with no fight what so ever...I'm so proud of him for being a big boy and our next venture is potty training (which was nearly impossible before with all the milk he was drinking)! Now I cat end his "blog" "blip" "soap box" whatever with out talking and bragging about out littlest son (turning 7 months this week) and I will start off by talking about how he is such a happy boy considering he has had issues from day 1 as well. See we found out he had an undescended testicle and a hernia when he was little and just recently had it fixed (well sort of) we had the surgery and they found out his testicle was "abnormal" and had to remove it. Turns out it ended up being a tumor that was benign. Well the next day after surgery he was smiling and crawling around no problems, acted like he didn't even have surgery! Right after surgery ended up having 2 ear infections and still a happy and smiley boy! Well he was put on antibiotics for infections and 7 days later bam...hives all over for about 3 to 4 days, and yet he was still a happy boy! Right after (or during how ever you look at it) up popped 2 teeth! Boy what a lucky momma I am! To have been blessed with such a wonderful life...wonderful family! The good lord sure has been looking out for me and I'm grateful! I can't wait to get things settled down for us and I'm gonna pay it forward! Cause as much as I complain and complain about the silly little things in my life that are exactly how id like them to be...1 it could be worse, 2 I have it pretty good, and 3 some one else does have it worse than I do and need to think about that every time i start to complain! So this girls gonna pay it forward...I haven't quite figured out how or when but soon my friends...soon

Thought of the day

"In marriage, a man becomes slack and selfish and undergoes a degeneration of his moral being."

Being a mother!

I will start this off by saying...I love my kids, and they are my everything, my world, my loves :) I wouldn't trade them for anything and would do anything for them. With that being said being a mother is hard work! No one warned you about the little things, the sad things, the worries!! So much detail and so much time goes into everything you do. It completely changes you and everything you were and will be. They don't tell you about having to remember EVERYTHING!  Baths every other night and J1 you really should every couple nights because he has sensitive skin and eczema that flares up but only in the winter time. Bathing with no lotion will cause you sleepless nights of him crying and itching with nothing you can do. But you have to wash his butt every night cause he is still in diapers and without proper cleaning every night with cause what I like to call monkey butt which will in turn cause  you to  have sleepless nights of crying and itching! So lose lose forget the sleep. They don't tell you this crap. The number of trips to the fridge for milk...hours of running water and the amounts of spilled baby formula. Oh the sleepless nights... When you get J2 to sleep and in bed and praise to the good lord J1 has fell asleep before 9:30 and you had gotten clothes ready and bags ready for the next day and you actually get to lay your head down for the night and you are so exhausted you plug in your phone and shut off the tv...close your eyes and smile so big because you are actually getting to go to bed before midnight and bam! J2 instant full body blood curdling scream (which not only I can hear decently from my bedroom because off the tiny house, but because I also have a monitor that's on full blast because I'm afraid to not hear him!) so I jump up and I'm in there in 2 sec, after turning down the monitor (since J1 is in my bed asleep, lord knows Id pay if he woke up to the baby crying) and get to him only for him to go back to sleep. Great your thinking...nope we play this game of wake up fall asleep about 3 more times which takes about an hour until I finally just wake him and give him a bottle hoping this is what he needs to sleep well!  Ok so it's alright your thinking...fat man eats and is back to bed by I dunno 10:30 or 11:00, so I come back in and lay down my head, only to realize I have to get back up and turn the monitor back up (little thing) and once I'm finally asleep bam! J1 starts crying (right next to me) so loud that I am immediately woke up and feel like someone punched me in the stomach because it took my breath away (my mom does this too, with a crazy sound that I ever so luckily inherited along with diarrhea, which is a whole nother story) and let me explain this once again that my children are blood curdling screamers when they cry so it's sooooo loud! Anyway after about 1/2 hour 45 min I realize he is waking up crying like this because of his skin itching...so I finally get back up go to the kitchen (for more milk of course) and then grab the hydrocortisone from the bathroom then rub as much as I can as fast as I can because it's a huge fight! (Little things...keep hydrocortisone on hand) so here I am writing this up terrified to shut my eyes for the little lungs of my boys are secretly waiting to belt out once I am sleeping...I just feel it. (Little things... You won't sleep...ever) I will finally shut my eyes about 1 to get up to start my day at 6, so i can have an hour to get myself ready and then 1/2 hour to get the boys up and ready so we can rush to my sisters and I can rush to work to work work work till 5:30 (which is almost easier) then home for dinner baths bed all over again! (Little things...do everything exactly right all the time and life will be grand) hahahahaha. 

Don't share a bed with your kids...

Teach them to be respectful and have manners...

Routines!!!...

Don't be afraid to use the belt....

You can have too much milk!

That's all I have for now dolls...I'm gonna try for some sleep :) thanks people 

Being a mommy

Being a mommy has to be the greatest gift of all time! Of course it has its ups and downs but its all worth it :) the dirty house, the piles of laundry, the toy cars in the middle of the floor that you just moved and put away, the sweet things they say, and the rotten things they do! The sweet smell of baby magic on your clothes after rocking your little one to sleep, or the sour smell of sweaty spit up necks, and stinky little feet! Rocks all over the carpet, that clank in the sweeper. I love my boys with all my heart and wouldn't trade anything in this world for them. I honestly don't remember how my life was before I became a mommy, or how I was even satisfied with it...

I'm back

Even though I have no followers...I know I've been missed!

Sweet little boy moment 5,678

So yesterday, rather than today since its 3:00 am and I am awake yet again...I had a sweet little boy/mommy moment. I have to start to say that yesterday was a no good rotten day...I am a true full time mommy/with a full time job/full time wife/fat and pregnant/which leads to being very emotional. So back to my no good rotten day...It's almost Christmas and along with my regular 17,000 things to do in one day still have Christmas shopping to get done (which if you know me at all, which most of you don't, is highly unusual since I usually have Christmas shopping done in like October) so like I was saying I have a crap ton load of shit to get done everyday and on top of being crazy at work and my crazy emotional family (sounds crazy...having a family that is crazy and emotional like me...noooooo) and my crazy emotional controlling self...it just sucked ok...try and believe me so I can stop complaining...cause i could name every shitty thing about today cause lord knows women don't like doing that! Well anyway my 17,000 things i usually do in one day plus the Christmas shopping, plus work crap, plus anything else you can think of...and i end up forgetting we have a stupid chili cook off at work tomorrow (oh wait today) and had to call my little sister (Emily who was out shopping) a hundred times since she doesn't ever answer her phone (I really shouldn't complain since she is doing me a favor) and have her get me a darn loaf of bread and peanut butter cause I volunteered to bring it since its not only a chili cook off but rather a "who's chili is hotter" type thing...stupid I know...well anyway so I thought what better to help fix a hot mouth after hot chili than a peanut butter sandwich! Anyway so i get ahold of her and she says she will get it and drop it off at my house (glad cause if i would have had to drag my kid into Walmart I would have probably killed someone after my shitty day) so after that i pick up my "terrible two" year old which I thought we had already been through (no it gets worse) we drive home and he is kicking his shoes off in the car and screaming that he wants something, i don't know i wasn't hearing it...we get home and we finally get through the door and I burst into tears and obviously my husband (god bless him doesn't have a clue) is freaked out saying what happened, what's wrong, why are you crying??! I set down the kid and he takes off his coat and runs across the room and starts playing...and I start in with how I hate everything and blah blah blah (you have already read what I would say here so I'm not repeating) and I'm snotting and blubbering and carrying on just saying everything that's making me upset in a matter of 30 sec...So as I'm talking to my husband and he is listening to me (obviously with a freaked out look on his face) I realize my son is talking to me from across the room...so i stop crying and talking for a moment and I wipe my face and snot a little bit and he says "don't cry mommy!" I just lost it crying again and my husband says come give mommy a hug buddy and he sprints across the room and grabs my legs and looks up at me and says it again "don't cry mommy!" How could he know the right thing to say!? How could he know to say that? (Cause I know his father didn't teach him...remember the freaked out look part I was talking about) I mean Bill Cosby knows his shit "kids do say the darnedest things!" So at this moment I'm just overwhelmed with happiness. And after that little moment my tears just kinda went away...none of it really mattered...I had the sweetest little boy wrapped in my arms and none of it mattered (not that this what's serious shit I was upset about any way but come on I'm emotional, and remember it was a no good rotten day!) its honestly amazing how something so small cause fix a crappy day and make it all just seem to go away. And that is my sweet little boy/mommy moment for the day. I love him with all my heart and he is most caring and loving and sweetest little 2 year old ever! Yes ever so don't even try to compare your kids cause your wrong. Thanks :)

Sleep or lack of it
