My Reality TV Show

Okay the only people that would watch would be my parents and some close friends.  Mostly out of morbid curiosity.  I personally think it would be worth watching.  With a great editing crew I'm sure one week of taping would entertain anyone for at least 25 minutes.  Car pool alone is a five minute of humor.  The most hilarious part would be how I pay someone the clean my house but it is always a mess.  We might have them cut out the Webkinz addiction because it is really out of hand with no end in sight.  Do they have WAA, webkinz addiction anonymous?   

The two year old could get a few minutes in temper tantrums alone.  Although he is very naughty some of his antics are very entertaining.  I especially love the hardwood floor stomp, the run and hide under sissy's bed momma can't reach me there, laugh as I am being naughty and maybe she will let me continue to jump on ______ or climb on the_______.  You can fill in the blanks because the kid will jump or climb on anything.  

I feel like we need Nanny 911.  I will try something on my own which may or may not work. What is it with the two year old?  One day they are the sweet little baby and then BAM they are a wicked little toddler.  I do mean wicked in the most loving way possible.   I won't find out if my behavior modification will work until they are all grown and it is too late.   That is a whole different show.  

I got in and out of my car ten times today. TEN TIMES!  I didn't even get to get out to go shopping once!  I'm starting to think I should down size my house and get a nicer car.  I spend more time in the car than I do my home.  I only realized this today because of all the dishes not done, laundry clean but not folded, and there are toys everywhere. It isn't getting done because I can't do chores around the house if I am not here.  I sometimes daydream about someone else doing dishes.  I should be day dreaming about a vacation with my husband to Hawaii.  Not someone else doing my dishes!  

So much more could go into a weeks episode of our reality show.  Titles for episodes could include:  We Don't Have Cable, My Husband Works at Home,  I Double Booked Again, Birthday Party 101, The Answer "No, Not Right Now." Doesn't Translate into Ask Me Again Later, Don't Touch,  10 Reasons Why You Shouldn't Talk to Mommy That Way, Reverse Psychology Does Work, and  You Can't Stay Home With the Dog.

2 AM Musings

I have been wide awake since before 2 AM. Wide eyed and well, not so bushy tailed. This is the second day in a row. Why?  No really, why? This is the second day in a row my brain refuses to turn off for longer than a few hours. It's like half my brain wants to party and the logical side knows this is not a good thing.    As a mom of three on the first day of a new school year I am sitting in the family room in the dark thinking of all the things I can't do right now. I am also lamenting summer. Today summer break officially ends. At least I am up in time to get the kids to school.   I am not excited for today. It has a few milestones that we can not put off. I will not drive to the elementary school for the first time in eight years. I will be dropping my youngest off at middle school and my oldest at the high school. Also the middle child decided to go back to school so I will not be homeschooling this year.   In a few hours my kids will wake up and ...

Queen of Google

Day in and day out I am frustrated with myself because I didn't take the time to write.  I want to write but I find myself not writing anything but thinking about writing.  I love to read and make time for reading but I find myself often just thinking about writing and not actually writing.   I am not sure what will ever motivate me to write daily.  Being a mom to three tween/teens in a huge job.  Especially when one is being homeschooled this year.  I find myself saying things like, when the dishes are done or when the laundry is done then I will write.  Just let me check all this school work first and then I will write.  When it is quiet, I will write.  This could be why I never write.  It is never quiet in this house.   Today I have had enough.  I am not about new year resolutions but I am going to make the commitment today to write daily.  I ideally would like to write not just for the blog but novel writing. ...

Happy New Year!

Happy Anniversary to my parents that got married today many moons ago. Congratulations for over 30 years of marital bliss.   Updates... I know why you should have a realtor.  Too many emotions.  The people that looked out our house put it in their top 3 choices and today they go back to their other 2 choices.  We will see what happens.  I feel a low offer coming our way, if we get an offer at all.     Do you know how much work it is to keep a house walk thru ready?  I feel like we worked all day to get out for an hour and then we came home and trashed the place.     Tomungus, Nathan's new word.  What it means I'm not quite sure, but he thinks it is funny.  He says humongous and ginormous a lot so I think he just said one wrong.   The veggie garden is growing wild. We have tiny tomatoes, squash, zucchini and broccoli. I kinda hope we can get some veggie before we move.  If not I will have to start another garden the kids love it and it keeps them busy watering it.  Playing in  w...
