Hobbies

My husband has Hobbies. Yes plural! It's all good he needs the hobbies to stay sane. He plays guitar (totally self taught) and he has a Camaro. Which he has rebuilt 90% of it. I love that he has things that he loves.

I myself not so much a hobby girl. I mean don't get me wrong I love to craft as much as the next one. And I even at one point had a little side business with my craft stuff, however becoming a Mom changed my time.

I don't have the time to put into the craft business. I barley have time to use the bathroom clean the house most days.

Being a work outside of the home mom is hard. I'm not trying to discount stay at home mom's or work from home mom's because lets get real those are equally hard. It's just working outside of the house is a different hard. A I'm not home alllllll day and when I am home so is my baby and husband and dog(he never leaves weirdo) and they all pull me in a million directions until bed time and then when I wake up oh yeah that's right I have to go back to work kind of hard.

I chose to work outside of the home. We need the health insurance. Which is now changing anyway. But even if we didn't, I don't know if I could be a stay at home mom. See I give huge props to any parent out there who stays at home and there are days I long for that but I don't know if I could do it. OK I take that back I know I could do it and would maybe even love it but it's not my reality so I don't let myself go there. I can't because I would go into a tail spin.

When I was on my extended maternity leave I chose to work from home for a few weeks to have more time with my chubby babe and it was HARD. My job is time sensitive so there is no oh the baby is crying I can finish this later. Nope my job does NOT work like that. So I knew right then and there that even if my company allowed it, that working from home would not be an option.

OK so now that I got way off the topic back to hobbies. My time is spread so thing between working and mommying (new word I know I'm cool) and then being a kick ass wife well I have nothing left to give.

Then today a deal came through my living social. For to photography classes. I have always looked at photos and wanted to do that so I called my Dad who also loves it and asked him to join me. Well after looking over the schedule we both bought the voucher for 2 classes. To say I'm excited is an understatement. See picking up photography as a hobby is something I can do and involve my baby and my husband and my dog. So it's a win win. I get to have something that is all mine and still be with my family.

For what it's worth I know I rambled in this post but that's how my brain works. So if you followed all the way clappy hands for you! and if you just skipped to this sentence I get it.

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...
