I think exercising wouldn’t be that bad if it wasn’t for the sweating, the not be able to breath and the really hurting the day after bit.

Why is it that when one of my kids sleeps till 10:30 the other decides that 8:15 would be an awesome time to get up?

Dear Hasbro,

            Thank you so much for bringing back the Easy Back Oven.  I feel that it is every girls and some boys rite of passage to cook with a light bulb. Everyday I ask my 4 year old if she wants to do easy bake oven and I might throw a slight hissy fit if she says no.

Love,

  Your biggest fan

Today was a day of shots.  Peanut Butter got 3 and Boo-Boo got 2.  P.B. had started crying before the nurse came in.  I had warned her that she might be getting one so that it wouldn’t be such a shock.  I wish someone would have warned me.  I turned into a mess.  I knew I couldn’t break down, but inside it was killing.  Nothing prepares you to see your daughter held down on an examination table screaming her head off for you and you can’t do anything about it.

Is it wrong that I think I love Johnny and the Sprites more than my 4 year old does?

I love when my sister in law comes over and I get 4 hours (yes, 4 whole hours) of uninterrupted time.  I cleaned the whole bathroom (I even got to organize the closet and the medicine cabinet), had my lunch without having to get up once, read a magazine, blogged, and organized the top of my dresser.  Cleaning the bathroom and my dresser have been on my list of crap to do for months now.  I might have to have her over every Saturday.

It’s just awesome when you don’t go to bed till 4:00 am after a fun night of partying and then have to be a mommy all day.

  My baby is 4 today, oh my goodness my baby is 4 today.  4 years ago at 5:42 am, you made me a mom.  The pregnancy with you wasn’t easy, 2 months on bed rest with very bad asthma and then an emergency c-section after you heart rate dropped, but when you came out it was all worth it.  You were kicking and screaming and you haven’t looked back since.  Daddy and I knew we were in trouble from the minute you stuck your tongue out at the nurse when she was trying to fuss with you.  Your fire red curly hair should have told us we were in trouble, but I love that about you.  I love the way you play with your sister.   I love the way you are obsessed with all things Disney just like me.  I love that you’re a girly girl and would wear a dress and makeup everyday if I let you.  I love that love animals so much.  I love that when you know I’m sad you share your blanket with me.  I love that you named you guinea pig Giraffe.  I love that you have such a vivid imagination.  I love that you love the beach so much. I love that you call me Mama, not Mom.   I love that you come up to me at random and say I love you Mama.   And I love that you fulfilled my  biggest dream of wanting to be a Mom. 

Happy 4th Birthday my beautiful Sydney Rae.  I love you.

You ever feel like you just can’t get this mother thing right?  Like you have no idea what you are doing.  And seriously their are 2 children in your care and you decided that you were actually capable of taking care of them.

I’m trying to teach her the diffrence between left and right.  We usually practice in the car.  Today on the way home from Target I held out my right hand and said what hand is this “Your right”  then I held up my left hand and what hand is this “Your other one”  I said “no what hand is this”  “ok mama it’s your second hand”  Well, she got me both times.
