What was I thinking Friday...

Did you hear, the Royal Wedding was today!?!  I will blame it on the mail, and say that my invitation got lost in the mail! 
 I felt a little left out today…  I get to work this morning and everyone was talking about how pretty Kate’s dress was, how awkward the first kiss was so the prince went in for another kiss, and of course how beautiful Kate was.  I guess if I didn’t love my sleep as much as I do, I  could of made time to watch the wedding at 4:00 this morning, so I could have been involved in the conversations at work.  But instead, get this, I had to stay at my desk and actually work.  I know, how dare me…

I am glad that it is Friday.  Our weekend was so busy last weekend that I didn’t get a minute to myself or any rest, so I’m hoping for a little down time, at some point this weekend.  Not sure when it will happen though.  Also, I won’t be having a pajama party/sleepover tonight with my girlfriend.  I was looking forward to acting like a teenager (with kids), and doing funny girlie things.  It has been postpone until next weekend, which that is okay, it will give me more time to come up with fun things for us to do, so watch out E…


This is what I woke up to this morning...

Poor baby boy was sick yesterday, and was running a fever last night into this morning.  Thankfully, this evening he has felt a lot better!


You see this sweet little angel...

She sure does love her brother…

She sure does love to play peek-a-boo with her brother…

I see you…

She sure does love pushing him around the backyard…  Am I the only one that sees something wrong with this picture!?!  One would think, that M would push his sissy around, but I guess he has the right idea.  Just chill out and let her do all the work.

I can't believe she is getting ready to be 10 months old!  She is now officially walking, without any help! 


I missed "What was I thinking" last week, since I was enjoying time with my family, coloring eggs with my son, cleaning my house, doing laundry, and preparing myself to cook dinner for a house full of guest the next day.  Sorry, I know everyone enjoys reading my mishaps, or maybe not!

But to be honest, you didn't miss much...  Ready or not, here are my "what was I thinking" moments...

• Taking a load of clothes out of the dryer, getting side tracked by the little girl in my life, to only put the clean clothes in the washer, to wash them again, instead of putting the actual dirty clothes in the washer.
• Putting clothes in the washer, and forgetting to put detergent in the washer to clean the clothes.  Not the most pleasant smell, when you open the washer.
• Grabbing a pan out of the toaster oven without an oven mitt, ouch!  I do this quite often...

That's all I have for ya!  I would love to hear your moments of the week.  Cheers to a fabulous weekend, and me getting some rest.

Btw, if it isn’t too much to ask, can I please get a vote for “Top Mommy Blogs”?  I just linked up the other day, and I would love a vote.  All you have to do is click on the link, and it will register your vote.  Thanks!

What was I thinking Friday...

I can’t believe how windy it was today…  I met up with the husband and kiddos for lunch, and thought I was going to blow away, when I got out of my car…  Luckily for me, I’ve packed on a few extra pounds in my thighs and rear, to help keep me grounded!   And I packed on a few more at lunch, for extra support so the 40 mph winds wouldn’t be able to carry me away…  I love me some food, and apparently it loves me too, since it has decided to stay camped out in certain areas.

Yesterday was a rough day for my little man.  We woke up to M & one of our dogs getting sick, followed by A getting sick.  I think A just throw up, because she didn’t want to be left out of the party!  The little man had a fever all day, and woke up with a low grade fever this morning.  But at lunch today, he was doing a lot better.  I hate when my babies are sick, but I do enjoy the cuddle time that I get.  My little man doesn’t like to cuddle that much, unless it is bedtime, then you might get a little cuddle time.  Baby boy is growing up, and doesn’t want to be bothered by mama wanting to snuggle.

My little angel kept the neighborhood up last night with her screaming for about 40-45 minutes.  I’m serious, she was screaming so loud you could hear her across the street!  I was hoping last night would be a little easier, but it was worse, she wasn’t happy camper at all.  At least she is doing better with her naps, she only cries for about 10 minutes when the husband puts her down.  I guess he might have to start putting her to bed too.  I’m truly not okay with all of this.  My favorite part of the day, is cuddle time with my babies.  I enjoy getting my little girl, taking her into the bedroom, rocking her while kissing her forehead, and telling her how beautiful she is and how much I love her.  Then we both pass out and sleep for about 30-45 minutes until the husband comes in and takes her to bed.   I want to be able to hold on to her being a baby as long as I can.  

It appears we have another busy weekend, full of family and friends!  My Aunt & Uncle are coming over in the morning, then we have a birthday party tomorrow afternoon, and then we might go out to the lake for hamburgers with the family on Sunday.  Shaping up to be another fun filled weekend!

My week wouldn't be complete, if I didn't poke a little fun at myself, and share with you my “what was I thinking” moments of the week…

•   Getting lost on your way to a wedding…  The bad part about this, because anyone can get lost, we had written directions and our iPad with us that told exactly how to get there.  Not to mention, we seemed to be the only guest that got lost that day.  So, I can’t blame it on the directions that the host sent us, now can I!  I have decided to blame the husband on us getting lost and taking the wrong exit since he was driving.  Forget the part, where I told him to take the wrong exit.

•   As we were leaving the wedding, we get halfway down the street and realize, we left the hatchback to the SUV wide open.  Again, I could blame this on the husband, but I was the last one back there, so I guess I should have shut the hatchback.  Not sure what was going on, the heat, I was tired, or the fact that we had a not so happy daughter at that point.  Luckily for us, nothing fell out.

•   Getting a clip out of my purse the other day, putting it in my mouth so I wouldn’t forget where it was while I pulled my hair back, to then look at my husband and ask where did I put my clip, with the clip still in my mouth.  It took me a second or two, to figure it out, SERIOUSLY!

•   Trying to get out of the car with your seatbelt on.  It doesn’t work, you truly do have to unhook yourself before you can get out of the car.  Don't believe me, try it for yourself, and then let me know how it worked out for ya…

•   Telling someone that the husband & I have been married for 10 years…  We have been together for 10 years, but only married 5 ½ years.

I would love to hear your “what was I thinking” moments of the week.

Happy Friday, and cheers to a fabulous weekend!

This little one is staring at me, I guess she is ready to go to bed...
 
Goodnight sweet angels!

What was I thinking Friday...

Hello Friday, I have waited all week for you!  So glad you are here…  This week has been long, and started out on way too little sleep!  But, there does seem to be a light at the end of this long tunnel for us…  The little girl, and I hope I’m not jinxing myself here, has slept through the night, the past two nights…  Trust me, I was dancing a little in the shower this morning, too much info, sorry!   I guess I better settle down a little, she might have just been giving us a break, to pull another month of sleepless nights.  If that is the case, thanks sweetie for the break, mama truly enjoyed two nights of sleep.

 

***yes she has food on her face...  Sometime we leave it there for a day or two, we believe it adds character!

I’m also doing a happy dance, because I have a three day weekend to enjoy with family and friends!  We have family coming over tomorrow, a wedding on Sunday, and then family day on Monday…  It is shaping up to be a great weekend!  Excited to see our family and friends as always!

But my week wouldn’t be complete without some “What was I thinking” moments to share:

•   Last week when I was sick, my Aunt had told me to get some Mucinex DM, which I thought that is what I grabbed, to only realize on Saturday morning, a good 4 days later that is was Mucinex D that I had grabbed…  I guess I need to pay a little more attention…

•   Putting your contact lens in the wrong eye…  Yeah, I do this quite often actually.  My left eye requires a stronger lens…  You would think that I would know better, but obviously I don’t!

•   Getting side tracked by your kids, and only putting self tanner on one arm and leg.  I guess it balanced out a little, the right arm got love and so did the left leg.  I looked like an X I guess…

•   Miss placing your debit card and totally freaking out at work when I couldn’t find it.  Getting home looking through everything, still not being able to find it, and telling the husband we would have to cancel my card, to only find it 5 seconds later in my daughters backpack.  This was the first place I looked when I got home.  It would have been nice if I would have seen it the first time, so I wouldn't have torn the house up like a mad woman looking for a darn piece of plastic!  Trust me, I kissed it and told it I would never let it out of my sight again…  She forgave me, and told me to go shopping today!

I would love to hear your “What was I thinking” moments of the week… 

 

This Mickey Mouse phone is over 30 years old…

 

My Aunt got it for me, before I was born…  And M loves it!

 

The blanket the kiddos are playing on was made for me when I was a little girl by my grandmother.  It is over 20 years old…  It’s nice having some of my things that I had as a child around the house!  And I love seeing my kids enjoying some of the things I truly enjoyed as a child!

Happy Friday, and cheers to a fabulous weekend!

Goodnight sweet angels!

What was I thinking Friday...

Well hello sunshine, and HELLO FRIDAY!  It took you look enough to get here…  This week has been a blur, just like the entire month of March…  The kiddos have had running noses, been sneezing and coughing all week.  The little girl did give her mama & daddy one night of restful sleep.  To bad mama didn’t get to fully enjoy it, due to mama having a running nose, sore throat and horrible cough!  Great week, I know…  The important thing is we are all alive and healthy for the most part!

I’m getting ready to vent a little…  Because I am a female, and we all know females are the best at complaining and whining.  Or so that is what the guys say.  But don't even get me started on that!  Anyways, onto why I’m going to vent...

Dear Blue Accent Hyundai,

Please do not get on the tollway and go 55 mph, take the service road, since that is the speed limit on the service road.  On the tollway, we drive 80-90 mph, sometimes faster, depending on where I need to be, and who is in the car with me.  Please stay out of my way, if you see me again on the tollway.  Next time, I won’t be so nice.  Thanks, and have a fabulous day!  xoxo, meJ

Seriously people, if you can’t keep up with the big boys, then stay on the kiddie road.  It drives me crazy, when people will get on the toll road, drive in the far left lane or the middle lane, and slow traffic down. 

So, moving on to “What was I thinking Friday”…  Here are my fabulous moments of the week, that I would like to forget about…

•   Taking 75 pictures of your kiddos, to only realize your camera was on the wrong setting and all the photos came out grainy!  This happened on Saturday, and I’m still really bitter about this!
•   Waking up late for work, because you turned your alarm off, instead of hitting snooze!
•   Thinking you grabbed the shampoo, when it was really the conditioner…  Yeah, my hair is really soft, but oh so flat!
•   Putting dish soap in the dishwasher…  Not a smart move.  Once I realized what I had done, I cleaned my mess up, and left it for husband at that point.  I don’t need a house full of suds…
•   Sending an email to a customer, stating "that should be a problem"…  When I really meant, "that shouldn’t be a problem."  Talk about BIG confusion!  Not to mention, you really don’t want to tell a customer "that should be a problem."
•   Going to brush your teeth, and turning on the pro tooth brush before you get it in your mouth…  Yeah, toothpaste in your eye, doesn’t feel good at all…  You have been informed!
•   Telling someone the other day I was 30, and being serious about it too.  To only spend the next 30 minutes, trying to figure out how old I truly am, which isn’t 30…  Seriously!

So, how has your week been?  Do you have any “what was I thinking” moments you would love to share, or just get off your chest?  I would love to hear them.  I would like to know that I’m not alone, going about each day more than half a sleep, and in a zombie state 95% of the time…  Yes people, this is reality!

Last night we took the kiddos to Gattitown for a fundraiser that M’s school was doing.  It was a nice evening, M got to do his own thing, which he is all about these days!  Is my kid two, or going on 16?  Just curious, with this whole not listening thing he has going on lately…  We also wasted $20 on a game card, that wasn’t needed.  M couldn’t stay put long enough to play one game.  So we would slide the card thinking, oh M is interested and then he would run off onto something new, and we would slide the card again, BECAUSE WE ARE SUCKERS, and obviously we didn't get it, after this happened 10 times! What are we, first time parents are something!?!  So, we ended up letting other kids finish our games, yeah they thought we were AWESOME.  Because we ARE dude!     

So, I’m glad it is Friday, and bet you are too!  Have a drink for me if you are out, but please remember to drink responsibly…  Not sure what we will be doing this weekend, probably the same as last weekend, LAUNDRY, because I have a ton of it to do!  Not to mention a dirty house, that could use some serious love.  Cheers to a fabulous weekend!  And hopefully two kiddos that aren't sick, thankyousoverymuch!

Goodnight sweet angels!
