The news

Well, I flunked my diet yesterday. But I am back on track today..... so far.


LC is 12 weeks old today. The time goes by so quickly. She is sleeping through the night now. Hence the being able to write more since I am not haggardly tired! LM is going to turn 2 in about the 2 months! I can't believe it! BAB is a typical 3 yr old. She is growing up so fast. Her face is looking more like a little girl and not a toddler.

LM and I were sick yesterday. We both had a fever and nothing else. This morning however my throat hurt. But I am guessing that it is from the new Plug In that I used. I am sensitive to smells. That makes me sound so dainty......:) I'm not.

Real moms

I got this from a forward. I thought it was funny. I had to pass it on!

MOTHERS

Real Mothers don't eat quiche; They don't have time to make it. I make it.... before the kids get up!

Real Mothers know that their kitchen utensils are probably in the sandbox. Its true this happens to me all the time. No matter how many times I say not to bring them down there. They are sneaky little devils.

Real Mothers often have sticky floors, filthy ovens and happy kids. I don't know if I have ever cleaned my oven.... wait last christmas I dumped some apple pie on it. I believe I cleaned it then.

Real Mothers know that dried play dough doesn't come out of carpets. I am of those weird mothers that don't let there kids play with play dough inside. It makes me have panic attacks. :)

Real Mothers don't want to know what the vacuum just sucked up. I got a dyson for my birthday. Love it! But I also have to see what is being vacuumed. And with 1 husky mix and a long haired cat it is just disgusting. I can't vacuum in front of people. I break out in hives.

Real Mothers sometimes ask 'Why me?' And get their answer when a little voice says, 'Because I love you best.' I've never heard that!

Real Mothers know that a child's growth is not measured by height or years or grade... It is marked by the progression of Mommy to Mom to Mother... Awwww.... My kids still call me mommy!

I LOVE MY KIDS!

Thee ultimate screw up

Well, it happened. I was asked if I was getting excited about my baby being born. And I had to tell her she was born in Aug. already. I was mortified. And I cried. So I have gained a lot of weight. I actually have lost some, but I haven't been doing that good on my diet. And also I just sat here and ate about 3 handfuls of chocolate chips. I just don't have time to work out! But I have been doing the south beach diet. I would like to loose at least 65 lbs. That leaves me with more then I weighed before I got married still......

Sleeping

I need to sleeeeeeeeeeeeeeppppppp. I should be sleeping, but I'm not. The oldest girls are napping and LC is at my mom's house. I am not sleeping. After the kids went to bed I had to make myself some lunch. And then I decided to try and take a snoozer. The phone rang. I didn't answer. I settled back down. The phone rang again. It was my sister. I answered and gave up the nap. Le sigh....

The diet

Well I am officially on the road to loosing weight. I am counting calories and doing a diabetic. How exciting..... It is the easiest way for me and I feel like it helps me in the long run. I have done it before and lost a bunch of weight. Then after I stoped trying to loose weight it didn't come back like some diets because I wasn't eating weird stuff. It taught me to eat the right things and when. So why you ask am I loosing weight if I didn't gain? Because apperently that goes down like a lead balloon when you are pregnant. At least that is my excuse.... :) I actually don't know how much I weigh now but I am sure I could loose at least 50 lbs. UGH. I really wish I had time to go to the gym. Some day....

the best

I have a babysitter/nanny come every Tuesday to watch the kids. I LOVE HER!!! She does my laundry. She cleans my floors. She does my dishes. She watches my crazy kids. AND today she made a sour cream coffee cake that I started yesterday but didn't have time to finish. (AKA got butter out and that was it...:)

Uppers and lowers

Well, LC has to get an upper GI. She has acid reflux and is having problems breathing after she eats due to the reflux. The Upper GI will see if there is anything else going on that is causing the problem. Hoopefully we will have some answers. I am wondering if there is something that I am eating.

I am at my wits end with BAB. She is sooooo loud and whiny. She never stops talking. She tries to boss EVERYBODY around. Including me. She acts like she is LM's mother and tells her everything to do. Yes, she is the oldest. But this is seriously out of control. And if she throws one more fit today I am going to make her stay in her room for the rest of the day. I am so sick of this stage....... May it end FAST!
