Nap???

I'm now remembering part of what made Wednesday so aggravating. Twin #2 is acting like a nut and refusing to nap for the 2nd time this week. He is really reminding me of his big sis in her toddlerhood. The difference was then I "only" had one kid and we weren't tied to being anywhere and now we leave at the same time everyday to get my eldest from school. Little stinker is only going to get a 45 minute nap today.

Too bad, so sad I guess! :op

All's Well That Ends Well (I stole this from my sis!)

Yesterday was tough to be sure.

Today was a very busy day, but it was filled with little people, friends, family, chauffeuring kids, chocolate goodness and a precious moment with my older two. It is now ending with a clean kitchen (woo hoo! and not the norm around here) and a dent made in my financial/paperwork madness.

(happy sigh) ;o)

Do Over

Can I please have a "do over" today??? It's been a challenge...

Pizza

Homemade pizza and a glass of 2 Buck Chuck make for a nice evening and relaxed momma! I have to admit that I have become narcissistic-ly addicted to my simple cheese and 1/2 pepperoni pizza.

(it's a little sad that this is my first post in a while, but all the same...)

#@*% Shoe!

I am *so* ready to throw this #@*% shoe out the window!

In it's defense, it is doing it's job. I'm just tired of walking slowly and almost tripping on the "mine field" that my house becomes by bed time...

She has a crush...

And I don't quite know how I feel about that! I don't even think she realizes she has a crush (she being my 6 yo daughter), but that's what it is. During the course of our conversation on the way home from school I asked her if any more seating changes have happened in class or if it's stayed the same (I was able to help in class earlier this week). She replied it's stayed the same, but she would like to move next to (insert said boy's name). Here's how the rest of the conversation went:

Me: "Really? Why is that?"

P: "Because I like him."

Me: "Do like that he's funny?" (something I observed about this boy earlier in the week)

P: "No. I like how he looks." (Really????? Already?????)

Me: "Yeah, I noticed he has dark hair. Is that what you like?"

P: "And he has blue eyes."

Me: "Okay, Honey." (and then I quickly changed the subject!)

Oy vay! I have to say I'm *so* glad my daughter is socially on the shy side. I'm just reeling a bit that she's starting to notice boys. Of course, I did have a crush on a boy named Jeremy Kellogg in the 2nd grade, but that was different! ;o)


Now on to "toe" news. It is getting better every day, just taking longer than I hoped. For some reason I think I expected to be 100% after they glued my wound shut. Like that would magically make it instantly healed, bruise and all. Isn't that how it should be for moms? I personally think Moms should be immune to colds, flus and injuries until their last birdie has left the nest.

I'm just sayin...

Perspective

Before 36ish hours ago when that crazy bowl jumped out my hands and injured me, I was in a rut around here having a few pity parties. I'm starting to have a change of heart that chasing around everyone wasn't nearly as challenging as it is right now when I'm being forced to take it easy and hobbling around the house. Perhaps life (at least my attitude) will move a tad bit smoother at the end of this.

Perspective and changes in circumstances can be a good thing...

My pensive mood and I are now signing off! :)
