O-U-C-H

Yesterday morning I heard my alarm going off at 5:15 and I wondered what the heck  I was thinking.  I slid out of bed and jumped in the shower, because that is the only way I can become half human that early in the morning.  I grabbed some clothes and headed to the gym.  Yes, [...]

Don’t hate me, but

In about 16 hours I will be sitting on the dock at the lake, book in hand with a great bunch of ladies and…
Shhhhhh!  Dare I utter the words?
no children.
Um, the last time I was away from my kids overnight?
*playing the Jeopardy song*
I honestly can’t remember.  Hubby and I haven’t been anywhere on our own and I [...]

I’ve done it now

I just signed on the dotted line and joined a gym!  I am beyond excited!  I know, how weird is that? BUT, I have been wanting to do this for a good long while and now that the kids are a tad bit older, I think they will be ok with going a couple of times [...]

Fantastic Four

It was four short years ago today that my darling girls entered the world, forever changing mine.
How I was blessed with two beautiful little girls is beyond me.  The hubby’s family had not had any girls in many, many years, so we were beyond surprised when we saw not one, but two “hamburger buns” on the ultrasound.  
People [...]

Why is it that I only tackle large impossible projects the day before we host a party?  OK, 2 days before.  The girls’ birthday party is Saturday and for some unknown reason it is a pressing matter that I go through all the tubs of kid clothes and weed out items to be donated, some [...]

I have to say it…

My mother-in-law called my husband today to ask him when his birthday is.
That’s all I’m going to say about that.

Here we go again

I may not survive the fourth one.
I have been dealing with crazy toddler behavior for 5 years straight now.  No lulls or breaks really.  Oldest son was a doozie.  He really broke me in and gave me a run for my money, but hey, I was several years younger and faster then too.
The twins, well, I [...]

Now I know my ABC’s

A and her daddy were naming things that start with the letter “C”
Daddy   Cat starts with “C”
A  and cake, cake starts with “C”
D  and cup
A  Oh, and SEASHELL!  Seashell starts with “C”! 
Well, OBVIOUSLY!

I couldn’t have said it better

When I am in need of a little pick me up, I can almost always find it over at a little blog called Home Sanctuary.
This post really hit home for me. Thanks Rachel Anne for being a blessing to all of the mommies of little ones!
Now, off to do some small stuff with my itty [...]
