A case of the Mondays..

Monday was just one of those days. We have all been there, more than once. Everything started off fine, I was able to sleep in and I wasn’t late taking Sunny to school. Kids were fed and clean. But after about 3pm things seemed to fall down hill; although things could have been much worse than they actually were. I have always been known for my dramatic dictation of events.

I picked Sunny up from school, and the teacher pulled me aside (with other moms and grandmas). The teacher proceeded to tell me about the attitude Sunny has been showing towards another student. Here is where the conflict comes in because Sunny does not like this girl. What do you tell your child? For me, it is really hard to tell her to be friends with someone she does not like. But I sucked it up, I told Sunny that she should ignore the child and be nice to here when she had to. I am sure this will not be the last time this occurs but it was kind of embarrassing.

Well, later that day I lost track of time and realized that I was starving my children when I looked at the clock and it was 6pm and I had not even given a second thought to cooking dinner. So while I was whipping up some breakfast (for dinner) I put Biggie in his highchair. Standing 5 feet away from him I did not have any clue that he had gotten a hold of a pen. He then proceeded to create artwork on his body, without me having any clue as to what he was doing. By the time I got a hold of him he looked like this. What is up with my kids and pens?  You may remember some artwork Sunny posted for me last month.

Look at this face, it says "what me, I didn't do anything".

I guess it could have been worse, at least it didn’t say “I hate you” or “Mommy is fat”.  :)

To top all that off, when I had both the children in the bath tub, Biggie decides that it’s a potty and does the “poop poop” in the tub. SO not cool. Especially since I had just cleaned the bath tub (which I despise doing) the day before.

Afterward, Biggie thought he would give me a heart attack by doing this.



What can I say though? In the end of the day, when the kids are fed, clean, and asleep it all really does not matter too much anymore. When you can sit down and think about it, you thank God for helping you make it through another day.

How was your day today?

Fun and Field Trips

The joys of parenthood move on to include field trips. I enjoy going with Sunny to these types of things because it is nice to get out and really meet these kids that she goes to school with. They got to go to Dominos and make pizza.

Mommy Heaven

For the first day this week Sunny Bear was able to go to school. I am in mommy heaven now since Biggie is asleep.

This week I have finally decided that I dislike hate snow! Snow is horrible!! It has caused me to be trapped in my house on more than one occasion this winter and has cancelled school 9 times! 9 TIMES!!
*haha when I write that I hear principal Rooney's voice from Ferris Bueller*

So, needless to say I was pretty antsy today when thinking about dropping Sunny Bear at school.

At about 10am I noticed out of the corner of my eye Biggie's head bobbing, so I decided to load up the kids and head to Disney Land! Yep, you guessed it..Wal-Mart!! No matter what you do there for you always end up buying "treasures" you didn't even know you needed.

I was 30 minutes early to drop Sunny Bear off at school so we all hung out in the car. Biggie's head was bobbing again, so I let him sit in my lap.  This began a game of flashing the bright lights, turning up the radio to mind blowing *literally* levels and trying to climb onto the dashboard.

I think I fared pretty well!
So here I am, with silence and a Soap Opera Digest. I’m in Heaven. Silence is Golden!

A first thought..

For my first blog post I am unsure what to write. I didn’t think it would be that hard. I am my favorite topic but then again it is hard to concentrate when kids are screaming and chaos has begun. I guess I can start off with the fact that I am ready for spring. Kids locked up inside for any length of time have the ability to drive you completely crazy. Not to mention my oldest (sunny bear) has been out of school for some time. In the month of January she managed to make it to school 7 days. Wow. A whole seven days. She is in Pre-k so only goes on Monday, Wednesday and Friday. This month she has managed to go 2 days. So needless to say it has been a rough few months.


I am from the south where you can wear shorts all year. Here you are locked in your house from November until at least March. This is something that gives me depression around February. So here I sit, Sunny Bear is home from school yet again and complaining about blocks that she decided to throw all over the floor. I do not get it. How is it she can throw the blocks on the floor but it is MY responsibility to pick them up?

Biggie doesn’t treat me that way, at least not yet. He is 16 months old. Currently he is asleep. I wish Sunny Bear would take a nap. Then I could really get some things done.
