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!
