No one

And I mean no one, can push my buttons the way my two year old can.

Why can't I be one of those uber patient sweet Mommies??

Random tidbits while I wait for the baby to wake up while I should be cleaning

It's a daycare day which means I have a little more time to myself than usual.

Because I usually have too much to do, I very rarely wear make up anymore. I'm finally getting used to being seen in public without it.

I like having pink hair.

Coffee addiction has increased tenfold since I became the mother of two.

I'm so unhappy with my weight but feeling down about it makes me eat more junk.

Going crazy trying to get Chicka to stop scratching mosquito bites until they bleed.

Have not had sex again but am entertaining the idea.

People keep asking me when I'm going to have number 3. Are they fucking crazy? Do I not look as insane as I feel?

I love my baby boy more than life itself. He's getting so big!

I'm trying to plan to get away for a night with the girls but it's hard because I don't feel like I can leave Frenchie alone with the 2 kids since I know how difficult it is.

It's blazing hot here. I went out for a walk yesterday and promptly melted all over the sidewalk.

The kids and I gave Frenchie a hammock for Father's Day. Am regretting this as he has no time to relax since we have too much to do.

Have caught up on all blogs although I've rarely commented. I still can't believe Edge is actually gone and Monkey split with Jen.

I keep buying cookbooks and kitchen gadgets hoping that I'll be inspired to cook more. It's not working. I think you either enjoy it or don't. Those who don't provide mediocre and frozen meals for families for the rest of time.

More later.

Proof

D0ra comes to mind

Do you know that D0ra song?

"We did it!
We did it!
We did it!
Yay!"

That's what I have in my head this morning because last night we did indeed do IT.

Finally.

well....

I did something completely off the wall yesterday. Actually, I let someone else do it to me.

I guess maybe I've been feeling a little down lately. Unmotivated and a little bored with the monotony.

So my sister in law got out the pink hair dye and gave me a makeover. I've got a lock in front and some in the back. I think it was just what I needed. :)

Weekly check in

Well, it's official. I am now a once a week blogger. I blame multiple things for this:

1. Two kids. One of which likes to attach himself to me and the other of which likes to run me ragged.

2. Nice weather.

3. Lack of interesting things to say.

4. My iPod Touch. I spend most of my online time on this and don't relish the thought of typing a post on it. Commenting is challenging enough on that tiny keyboard.

Anyway, as I implied, there's not much new. My days are so monotonous that I can't think about it for too long for fear that I'll lose my tenuous grip on my sanity. May go on a day trip tomorrow which would be very cool.

Gotta run. Baby just woke up.

new outlook

Finally I'm getting a few spare minutes to check in. It's been so crazy around here that when I do have 10 spare minutes, blogging if pretty far down on the list.

First and foremost: Chicka did smashingly well at Daycare. I'm thrilled to pieces. She didn't participate in naptime of course but I knew she wouldn't. Other than that it was great. And can I just say right now that choosing Mondays was a wise decision. I felt like after my "day off" on Monday I could handle anything.

As an added bonus, I had someone offer to babysit for me on Wednesday morning so my girlfriend and I went shopping and to Fourbucks. It was pure heaven and we decided that once school is out we're going to enlist a babysitter to do it for us once a week so that we can get out of the house.

So I'm not sure if it's the breaks I've had or the meds I'm on (or perhaps the perfect combination of the two) but I've just felt absolutely fantastic this week. My mood is better, I've had much more patience and I'm starting to chip away at the chaos that I live in.

Still no sex though.

One thing at a time right?
