I must confess

Writers block hit me hard and fast this morning and then I started reading blogs and Stephanie from Wife Mommy Me saved my butt with her I must confess post. So here it goes


I must confess.....

I get incredibly overwhelmed and stressed if Michael is going to be gone for our bedtime routine with Grayson. This happens maybe twice a month but it is super hard to not have any help with bath time and bedtime.


I have not been eating the best this week. All the chocolate in my house is calling my name and I have been answering every.single.night. Blah


I have taken over monitoring our bank account. I have easier access at work to look at it everyday and I have been keeping my own spreadsheet to have a more accurate idea of where we are monthly. In two months we have saved over $800 and that makes me happy but it still feels like a lot of pressure on me to know where we are money wise at any give time.

I contemplate going home early 4 out of 5 days when I'm at work. I have a constant to-do list in my head of things that need to get done at home and I feel like I just need a day to get things done!


I'm worried about G and his eating. This kid is bright and smart and funny but he is not eating table food. Everyone tells me it's ok he will come around but it just worries me. I know in my mommy gut that he should be eating more table food than cereal, peanut butter, applesauce (which come on is basically baby food), banana's and vanilla cupcake goldfish. He was eating peas carrots and pasta for a while and then he just stopped. As in full on refusal, temper tantrum food throwing stopped. I'm hoping that soon someone will be on my side and we can get him evaluated for his food issues. He drinks milk and will eat stage 3 meals so he is not starving and he is still gaining weigh. Maybe I'm just over reacting?


I get frustrated when I plan to do something for just me and then it gets cancelled. Last Friday I was supposed to get my nails done and then waiting list was 6 people long. I was so upset. It's the little things that keep me sane.


I love all of my Real Housewives shows. As in I need to watch them as soon I get home.

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 ...

Update...

Things have been…..how do I say this different lately. We have been struggling to find our footing for months now. It feels like the hits just keep on coming. On February 10 th my parents were in a very serious (awful, horrible, scary) car accident. My father suffered a stroke (we found this out later) while driving the car. My mother was the passenger and they hit a telephone pole and then flipped (it’s an estimate because no one saw the accident happen) 6-8 times and landed on the drivers side of the car 100 feet off the road. I was still at work when I got a call from an unknown number and for only reasons that God knows I answered it and it was a young girl who had pulled up on the accident and had gotten my mom out of the car and was there with them while they waited for Mercy Flight for my dad as he was unresponsive. It was gut wrenching and horrible and I felt paralyzed. My mother was taken by ambulance to the same hospital they were Mercy Flighting my father to. We got...
