Frustrated

Have you ever had one of those days when you just feel like everything that you do is wrong?  Yesterday was that day for me.  I was getting so frustrated at the kids, getting frustrated at myself, second guessing everything that I do...it was not good.  I was so looking forward to yesterday too; Lissa and Corrin came home!  I will say that the visit at mom and dad's was very nice and I did end the day on a high note. 


Freddy has a new thing...headbutting.  When he hits, sometime I hold onto his hands and say something like"hands are not for hitting."  yesterday he decided when I did that, that he would headbutt...to the point that I was crying.  OUCH!!  I sent him to his room (carried him and then "threw" him in bed)...that was at 9am.  It was a long day. 


I wish that I had a time-out button like Zach Morris had on Saved by the Bell.  That way I can just take a step back and re-focus.  Could you invent one for me please?  I know that people say, just take 5 minutes and take a few deep breaths.  But come on, do you know what the boys would do in five minutes????  RJ would be swinging from the fan; Liam would have found a way to the food; and Freddy will be doing graphic designing on the computer.  Ahh the life with three little boys :)

Hmmm

I feel like I have nothing good to write about.  Lissa told me that I should keep a list of things that I want to write, but so far my list is empty.  I guess I could say that I ran again this morning and that it went better than Monday.  I could say that Freddy is most definitely feeling better.  I could say that I bought a new outfit to wear to my cousin Jenna's wedding next weekend...yes, lets talk about that!!

I got my dress at Target.  It is just a simple summer dress.  Red, strapless, flowy.  The top is that scrunchy looking elasticy boob covering thing.  (gosh I am giving you a GREAT visual huh?! lol).  From there it is just flowy down to mid calf.  I got a white shrug and white sandles to go with it.  This weekend I am going to make some deep purple jewelry to go with it (and then to sell!!).  I am excited to get dressed up and go out with my hubby without the boys, although I am going to miss them like crazy 'cause that it just how I am!

Operation stop looking like crap day 1

OK, before you all say the usuals...you look wonderful, what do you expect after having three kids, beauty is on the inside...BLAH BLAH BLAH  Lets give ourselves a dose of reality:  I am unhealthy and look like poop.  So, I decided to go for a jog with the twins this morning.  Unfortunately for Glens Falls, it was about 715am, so a lot of people had to see me!!!

So anywho...I took the boys and went on the bike path for about 2 miles.  I was sucking wind, had the worst form EVER, and really wanted a coffee.  But, I made it.  My goal is to run that same route at least 4 days a week for two weeks and see where I am at.

Wish me luck!

Poor Freddy...

My baby is sick :(

Freddy didn't sleep well Friday into Saturday...finally me letting him get out of bed at 530am only to find that he had a pretty bad temp.  It took a while, but I got some Motrin in him, and that helped with the fever.  He remained feverish and lethargic throughout the day; Cassie couldn't even make him feel better.  Although she did get him to laugh, and she and Isaiah got him to play catch for a few minutes.  Last night was much of the same, with an even worse fever this morning.

The rational side of me knows that he is going to be fine; treat the symptoms, push the fluids, and wait it out.  103 degrees is the worry number, and after 48 hours is the worry hour.  BUT, the mom in me still wants to panic!  As Freddy would say..."Not good Money!"

On a side note.  Mom and Nana very generously gave me some working materials to help me get some more jjewelry in the store.  Yesterday when I was At The Warehouse I ended up making 5 necklaces, 2 bracelets, and 2 pair of earrings!!  Felt good to have my work on display again!  Thanks Mom and Nana!!

Happy Mother's Day

Last night, after work, I went to the store to get the couple of things that I forgot to get earlier (must remember lists!!).  When I got home, I realized that I forgot the most important ingredient for the french toast...the bread!!  Seriously, how do i make it through a day???  So, Dennis went back out for me to get the bread, while I started to get things in order.  When Dennis came back with the bread, I prepped the french toast bake...and then looked at the kitchen.  I really didn't want to clean, so I decided that I would just wake up extra early to clean and finish breakfast. 

I woke up at 530, not happily, and walked downstairs to find that Dennis stayed up and cleaned everything!  I was so excited, that I almost didn't curl up on the chaise and go back to sleep...almost :)

Everything was so lovely this morning.  Mom, Dad, Sueanne, Meredeth, Dennis, the boys, and I enjoyed a great breakfast and wonderful company.  Mom and Sueanne seemed to like their gifts (I am taking Mom out to dinner, and Dennis is taking Sueanne out to dinner - they choose), the boys liked playing with everyone, and I had a really nice time. 

Now, I would be a liar if I said that it had nothing to do with my presents...because everyone Noe's how much I LOVE presents!!!  Dennis and the boys got me a Sony Reader, the pocket edition.  Sueanne and Jimmy got me a gift card for the reader.  Now get this...Mom and Dad gave me a work order...they are going to fix my upstairs bathroom!!  Mom is going to paint it for me and Dad is going to fix my plumbing!!!  I am going to get my Pink Girly Bathroom!!!  All mine...no boys allowed!!!!  I am going to sit in my Pink Bathroom with candles and pretty things and read ebooks on my Sony Reader...for about 5 minutes until RJ climbs the bookshelf, Freddy pushes Liam, and Harley and Macy start fighting!!! 

I love my life :)

Thanks for a great day everyone!!

A bit different...

I was thinking that I would take a stab at doing this who "blogging" thing differently.  I am always amazed that my sister can sit and write a 2000 word blog in the middle of her crazy busy life.  The main difference (other than the fact that she likes to write) is that she make it a priority.  Starting now, I will also make writing at least twice a week a priority. 

So, why the changes to the title and such??  First, I LOVE pink!!  It is such a great color!  Second, I think that every time someone asks me 'how I do it,' I will refer them here!

That is all for now...I am at work and will be leaving shortly.  :)
