Crawling, everything is edible, broken toys and you are so mean mommy's

This is about Jack:
OUR PUPPY WHO IS ALMOST A YEAR OLD. THIS DOG MAKING IT TO THE FIRST YEAR IS A HUGE MIRACLE CONSIDERING MY PATIENCE AND HIS ABILITY TO JUST PISS ME OFF!!!
 It is a complete miracle that this stupid dog is alive right now. I say stupid lightly because this dog is anything but stupid.

Ahem, attn little Jack,the only dog I know that can  eat a pound of Bakers chocolate, then continue to gorge  himself on food and water, and puke all over the in-laws carpeted rooms, and couches, yes it was multiple rooms and couches like two.

  OH yeah not to mention the shitting everywhere for three days before Christmas!!!  I think the dog needs Jesus at this point, only a miracle can stop me from considering sending him to another permanent home far far away!!!

He also likes to run down the road to the neighbor ladys house, because she has a pretty chocolate lab that he can play with, and I think she feeds him. He is going to get us a ticket for being a chronic runaway. We can be playing with him in the backyard and he will stop dead in his tracks and run the fuck away to the neighbors, and no matter if we say stop Jack, come Jack, or follow him to the neighbors he runnnnnnns as fast as he can. Because he is smart, he knows when he comes home we're gonna be like good boy for coming home Jack when what we should do is send him the fuck somewhere else. The asshole. For running the fuck away again!!

Sorry for all the cuss words. Its either that or I explode on the dog. At this moment he better be sleeping.

I love him I really do. He is a very sweet mannered, laid back dog in the house inside he listens so well. But once he gets outside he's like bye, gotta go for a run to the neighbors. So this is what we are going to do. Even though we have never done it before, he is going to get trained by a shock collar. Not to be mean but to show him that if he hits the edge of the yard he will be warned twice with a beeping sound before being zapped mildly. If that doesnt work to keep him in the yard. He will be saying goodbye to our family. I cant stand a dog that wont listen.

Its been a while

I have been trying to get back to my blog that I was so excited about, until I went into labor, with our second child. From there on out I have been thinking that a little writing relief would do me good. However finding the time is like pulling hens teeth.

I now have a 3 1/2 year old and a 3 month old baby... I'm still working on time management, and believe me when I say it is not easy AT ALL!!! It drives me nuts to see my house a mess! But I find time during the day to clean up 10 messes only to turn around and find that my lil man has made three more. I have a difficult time trying to get him to clean up after himself because I have always done it for him. MISTAKE. I know I should have had him helping me all along but I enjoy the cleaning aspect of life. It keeps me busy.

I also find that I am still so obsessed with our new baby, that I haven't put enough mommy and me time aside for my little man. So I have been making sure for the last few days that I have an hour at the minimum to spend quality time together. I really don't want him resenting me later in life for not spending enough time together or  him having some kind of neglectful feelings because he didn't get as much attention as his sister. I am having a really difficult time balancing things right now but.... It will all work its self out in the end. Both of my children will know that I love them and would do anything to make them happy and well balanced. 

I hope one day they will understand the difficulty of parenthood. And be appreciative of the hard work and dedication that goes into it. I also hope that they get to enjoy the little things that mean the most with their children, from that first poop (i remember them both haha) to the moment they get to send them off to school. My moment is coming up soon and I plan to take a million pictures, have a good cry and then wander around the house that first day, because I know that first day at least I will be lost without him... 

Im not sure what to expect in the future of myself or my children but I do hope to give them values, manners and balance so they will never be too lost in life's hiccups.

I enjoy this little family of mine.....

So being the mother of a 3 year old requires a lot more patience than not. Everyday!!! 

Already this morning, we have had a giant milk spill in the new living room which he refuses to wipe up, he has jumped on every available surface, kicked all of the blinds making such a colossal noise it woke up his baby sister. He has had two jolly rancher Popsicle's that i know of and the only reason he quit squawking like a bird. Yes I bribe him.... Sometimes that's what parents have to do!!! OH and to top it all off I made him his Mickey Pancakes and he will not eat them... Really?! They were awesome blueberries included. 

Here is what happens on a normal day in our house....

we wake up.... all hell breaks loose... we go outside for a couple hours, I make him come inside... all hell breaks loose.... He poops his pants, I get pissed because we have worked very hard not to do that everyday...He runs outside naked and goes across the road to get the mail(we live in a subdivision with dirt roads).... all hell breaks loose... I cry a little because I definitely have no control of this child on some points of the day.... 

All the while all of this is going on I'm still breast feeding our daughter every couple of hours so the part where he poops his pants and runs outside naked those are the times where my attention is not completely on him. 
\
His dad is working out of town so I have no back up to help control his freak out moments, and naked moments. 

I know he needs more attention but I already spend 12 hours a day paying attention and cleaning up messes. All a part of being a parent I know this. But I also know that there are other parents out there that have more docile children and I can't help but be a little jealous of them every once in a while.
 Some days I wonder where exactly I am supposed to get the energy to chase after this little one man wrecking ball... but I also wake up wondering exactly what kind of adventure we are going to experience for the day. I have the right to complain and rant. I deserve at least that, I don't get a vacation or even a little break from being a parent so this blog will be about my adventures everyday with my two children. I wouldn't trade this for anything in the world, but I would enjoy a quiet moment or two.

Number one!!!

Life. Love. Money. Kids. Marriage. Cleaning. Bills. Nurse. Nanny. Superhero. Cook. Therapist. Cheerleader. Gardner.

That sums it up.

I'm pretty sure that my life has some kind of bizarre plan laid out in front of me, but I don't like to think about that, I like to experience it as it comes. Not having to worry about what the future might bring, I believe it is a waste of time. As long as we have our bills paid, food in our bellies and a roof over our head, everything else will fall into place. 

I also believe that Karma has a lot to do with life. Everything you do good or bad will come back to haunt you or help you. I definitely try to do good by people, always there to listen or help, and sometimes even just to hang out. 

Family is a huge part of my life!!!!! I would do anything just to make sure they are all safe and happy, as I am sure a lot of other people like to do. 

I'm a pretty blunt person, I almost always say whats on my mind, and I will definitely give you the wtf look. I'm not scared to call you crazy or call your bluff. I also like it to be quiet in my house. But, without noise I know there is something wrong especially when it comes to my 3 year old. I have given up the hope of any quiet time before 8 at night. (he is usually out by 7:30) 

We have recently welcomed our newest addition to the family Little Bailey Kaite. She is a month old today. What a precious gift God gave me. I have a boy and girl. I am done having children. Though I am sure there will be many of my children's friends that will come to our home that I will "adopt" as one of my own. That tends to happen in our family.

Life has had its ups and downs for my husband and I but I would never trade it for the world. I love him with all of my heart, and miss him terribly when he is gone. He travels for work. This year has been the least amount of time we have spent together since we got married. But this has provided for us  a very comfortable lifestyle, for which I am grateful. 


All in all I have a pretty well rounded life, as you can see from the above. I wouldn't give any of it up for anything else. It is what makes me happy, and I look forward to each new day as it comes, no matter how frustrated I am in the moment, I have to remember I am doing the best that I can and I have to keep on trying! It is  worth it!
