I want to throw up... I want to scream... I want to smash something... and then I want to feel bad that I am so angry over something that is so material. Hmph. I was just cleaning Caty's art mess off of the coffee table which usually just consists of small pieces of cut of paper. She loves to cut up paper. Occasionally there's the markers on ( Read more... )

I'm having a nice and lazy weekend which I really was in dire need of.  I do wish that I could take a weekend off and really make good use of it by taking a little trip or doing something really fun with Caty.  My last couple of weekends that I took off were much needed though and I used it as mere recovery time.  Yesterday since I was quite lazy ( Read more... )

For those new parents out there, I am thinking that I should warn you about a very serious issue.  If you are anal retentive about the cleanliness of your home, you should go ahead and just get over that.  If you are already a messy housekeeper, you should prepare for the fact that your home will look like a tornado touched ground in a trailor park ( Read more... )

Well let me start with Caty updates. After her nap today she still didn't pan out to be much better in her behavior. First she decided to lock her bedroom door from the inside and close it. Then she comes to me and says that her baby is stuck in the room and she can't get out. I realize that she has locked the door. I ended up having to take ( Read more... )

Caty finally laid down to take a nap. She was feeling a bit crabby and cranky. She finally conked out while laying in her bed crying and screaming "I want to be nice now!". I didn't take her to school today because Carissa and Sarah came over last night to eat some of my black bean chili burritos and talk girl talk and we stayed up way too late ( Read more... )

I forgot one last thing. My daughter is so flippin adorable. I just took at a peek at her sleeping and she has put on her ballet dress, her ballet shoes, and socks on her hands pulled all the way up her arms. She is sleeping all sprawled out with her mouth wide open and drool spilling over the sides. I could just eat her up. I was about to ( Read more... )

Only it hasn't really been a mini-break since I have been working most of the time... just at home.  I agreed to do it though so I can't complain.  Today I really had intended to get a lot accomplished off of my list, seeing as how I hadn't really made a whole lot of progress on it.  (Though the things that I DID do off of it were worthwhile).  I ( Read more... )

Nothing quite like the feeling when your children learn how to tell you that they don't like what you cooked for dinner because it's "asgussing". I will admit - it WAS a bit garlicky for a three year old. Hehehe ( Read more... )

How and why does it happen that every single day of the week when I wake up at 5:45 am to get ready for work Caty is still snoozing at 7 am when it is time to leave for school/work. I have to fight with her every single morning to get up out of bed and get ready for school. But the ONE day of the week when I can sleep in until 9 she wakes up on ( Read more... )

Wow... I don't really know why I am posting this morning as it really serves almost no purpose aside from stalling myself from getting ready for work. That stall, however, seems very important this morning because I am SOOOO SLEEEEEPPPPPYYY!!!! I just want to crawl back into my bed, throw my covers over my head, hold Caty real tight (because yes ( Read more... )
