HAPPY EASTER

I hope you all had a fantastic Easter! We did. We enjoyed visiting with family, hunting eggs and flying kites. We also ate our weight in Ham and Sugar, in various forms of deliciousness.....feeling that now and regret is setting in. The boys are just about to come crashing down from the sugar high and we will bathe them and let them sleep it off!
Jacob has already asked "what comes next?", which is the question I get after every holiday. So I then go into the never ending list of holidays and celebrations. He then quickly starts counting down.

The next one, just so you can count down with him, is Lukes 2nd birthday. He was born on Easter Sunday (which was April 16th) two years ago!

Remember Me?

Ok, this blogging thing takes time. I don't have time. At this stage in the game, I get about 4 hours of sleep a night on average. I consider goldfish a meal, as long as I have a capri sun with it. I have been known to wear the same clothes for 36 hours or more.....yep, that's right, 36 hours. No shower, no changing into fresh in the morning, just keep on keeping on. Juggling two boys, (three if you count the dad) and thier very different schedules AND trying to remember who I am, or used to be before this, is HARD.
But, when a little man is tapping my shoulder at 3:30 AM whispering "mama, juice" , How can I not LOVE it. It is just the sweetest sound EVER!

So, I have fallen off the blogging wagon, I admit. I will try to be more diligent in my blogging, but can make no promises. You just never know when someone might need juice.....Or goldfish!!!

Perfect Parent!

So, I get this email today about Jerry Seinfelds wife and how she puree's all the baby's food blah blah blah. Here's the thing....that is either a lie or a priviledge of the wealthy. I decided to just make an executive decision that we will start each day at 6AM; since the day never really ends I had to have some sort of boundary! So we start at 6, even though we have probably been up since 4, we fight over eating breakfast, what to eat, wether to eat, that's exhausting. I get everybody dressed and throw them in the car to get Jacob to school...just before we wake Joe Vincent up so he can get to work, yup that is what I said. Then Luke and I come back home and play, sing, count, whatever he wants for at least an hour. Then he starts 'helping' me with dusting or laundry or whatever task I have decided to try to accomplish that day. What he is actually doing is creating MORE work for me.....My choice, I'm home with them for a reason! I love it. But, I'll bet it is easier if you have NANNY'S. Spoiled brat. (not my best example of being a good christian mom)
So, here is the other thing, nobody told me that to be a mom, a good mom, I would no longer be able to sleep more than 4 hours a day, pee by myself, have a conversation with my husband, or anyone else for that matter!
I would not trade it for the world, but I totally get why the grandparents are so happy all the time....they get to sleep. Pee by themselves. Have adult conversations. They probably get to listen to better music ,too. I'm constantly humming the theme to Clifford or Big Big world...catchy tune, he just sounds like he is totally high!
That is it, that is all I got. My husband is giving me the night off....isn't it sweet of him to Parent for me once in a while.
I'm going to bed....
