Where I have been

I'm not trying to ignore this corner of the Internet really. I just have been struggling? with being here I guess.


I don't know how much I want out here on the Internet. The struggles we are going through? No one wants to hear about that kind of stuff. My Mom has cancer, My Uncle has cancer and I'm holding my shit together by the skin of my teeth.


I'm trying to organize my house because that is what I do when my head is a mess. I'm trying to soak up every second I have with my little family because they are what makes my head less messy. They make my heart so full and happy and my focus needs to be there.



I'm trying to plan a bridal shower with 5 other bridesmaids. 2 of which do not want to have any input but then bitch when decisions are made. Thankfully I have 3 other ones who are more than helpful. I'm crafting and planning and ordering like it's my JOB.


We are in the process of finishing up our yard list so that we can have a relaxing rest of the summer but it feels like with a tornado of a 15 month old there is no such thing as relaxing.


I'm working away trying find a better balance of work and home life. I have a pretty great job. Flexible and only 8 hours a day. But some days when my boys are home and having the best time I'm stuck in my office all day and that can be hard.


This is my last full week of work for a few weeks and that makes my heart so happy. I have Friday off because of the Fourth and then I took Monday off so that we can have a family day at the zoo. I crave more family time and I'm happy to have it.


Speaking of family time I find myself fighting myself with how to spend my very limited time when I'm home. If my house is not picked up and somewhat clean I get grumpy. But then if I'm not getting enough time with my boys I'm grumpy then too. It's a vicious cycle and I'm still trying to figure it out.


Basically I'm trying to get back here where I can just write about all of our fun things. I still want to talk about Father's day and our fun weekends we have been having. That is my new goal. To get back to talking about all of our fun things we have been up to.


Happy Tuesday everyone!

Four Things right now

Four things about all of us right now... Grayson One- This boy has finally found his groove in 1st grade. Kinder to 1st was a big adjustment but he's doing well now. And he is a spelling champ! He does sooooo good on his spelling tests! Two- Hockey is life for this kid. He skates twice a week (once doing a hockey specific clinic and once doing family skate see below) His skills are really growing Three- He loves reading and so we are riding that wave all the way. Four- He has to wear his glasses full time now. What started out as hey wear these when you watch TV that is farther away or when you sit farther from the board has turned into needing them full time. Our school has a local organization that comes in and does eye assessments for free for the elementary schools and they sent home a letter saying get him to the eye doctor he needs glasses (well that was the jist of it) and we since we already had glasses from his eye doctor he just started with tho...

A nice little sweet spot

The sweet spot…. We seem to have hit one. I feel like we have not been in a sweet spot since the twins were about 6 months old. You know before they were mobile and can get into a ton of mischief. When kids are 0-6 months they still like to be held they eat mostly bottles and they mostly just stay in one spot. No issues, you can go places and even though you have to pack up your whole house to be prepared you can relax. And if you are in my family someone is always willing to hold or feed or change a baby. 7-months to 2.5 years old is what I refer to as the lost years. You have so many things you have to do for them they are not potty trained and they are mobile and get into EVERYTHING. Going outside is more work than its worth and with twins they scatter in opposite directions. Three on one is so hard handle in big open spaces. I would often find myself skipping outside time because the work was just too much for me. When the twins turned 3 and Grayson was 6 it felt like we had a ...

Conferences, Grocery Pick up and trying to get out the door

I had grand plans to document our day on Friday. I was going for an every hour sort of thing and then after the 3rd hour lost track I will shoot for next Friday though we will see I'm off on Friday's ( all the happy faces for a 4 day work week and the $$$ saved on daycare ) It was our February break from school so Grayson is home too. I get up at 6:15 on Fridays which is sleeping for me because during the week I'm up at 5 and I head downstairs to do a workout. I'm in a funk right now with that stuff but I still move my body. Today I did a 10 min arm video and 10 min lower body video. I stretch for a few mins and I'm done just in time for Grayson to come wandering down the stairs. I chug some water. Check in with Michael and head upstairs to get Marshall and Charlotte from their beds. They both woke up dry (we are in the throws of potty training and are still in pull ups at night for now) They charge downstairs yelling that they have to pee and demanding...
