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.
