Eighth Month.

Trying to get a good pic of Violet sitting up still is completely impossible. Other than that....BEST. BABY. EVER!

I could probably do this whole motherhood thing with 1 child with my eyes closed, especially if that 1 child was Violet. She's a breeze.

Organized?

Ok people, this is organized, or as organized as you are gonna get in my house. And you know how long it stayed like this? For about 2 minutes. Every once in awhile, I blow up. Emotional melt down. You'd probably think it was more often, but a few emotional meltdowns ago I went and saw my doctor and cried to him for about an hour before he put me on some meds to help with my anxiety, patience and overall mood. I told my Dr. "I feel like I need to smoke pot." He laughed as I was completely serious. He's always been very attentive to my situation and as in "situation" it means two 3 year olds and a newborn. Asking me how it is going? Do I feel all right? Most of the time I try to keep it together, pretend like I am supermom and say, "Oh, ya I am great!" "This whole motherhood thing is butterflies and rainbows." But the honest to god truth, it's f*&^ing hard. Really really hard.

I seriously feel like all I do is change diapers, clean, clean, clean, laundry, laundry, laundry, cook, cook, cook, yell, and then clean some more. So, when asked today by a mom at gymnastics if I was going to go back to work when the kids are in school? The answer "HELL NO!" I am going to drink my coffee, watch the Today show, take a nice bath, and go to the gym.

Every day I am challenged. I feel like as soon as I get used to dealing with one phase, another starts and I have to learn to conquer that one and so on.....So, now I have my biggest hurdle yet....potty training. My kids have had NO interest whatsoever. But now, with their 3rd birthday only one month away (WTH?? It's been 3 years?) they are starting to FINALLY show interest. So, I am going to roll my sleeves, get the steamcleaner ready, candy bowl filled and get them to go potty in toilet.

Coffee.

As a SAHM, I pretty much need an IV of caffiene poured into my veins every morning. Before I pee, before I get the baby up, before I tend to the twins, I must make coffee. And every morning I hear Travis complain about our coffee maker, he hates it. I don't mind it because I have other things to complain about, like my carpet (I HATE my carpet), anyhow, the other day I went over to the Smith's house and they were showing me their new coffee maker, a spiffy new fancy Keurig. So, in obvious fashion, I the annoying friend that I am to Courtney (sorry, Court!) who copies everything she does, came home and told Travis about it and SOLD! Got it today and am in LOVE!

Buy it HERE.

Where's Violet?

Here's a new game....kinda like "Where's Waldo?", but "Where's Violet?" amongst the mess in our playroom after Xmas.

Have fun playing!

New Mom Blog.

I love coming across new blogs....obsessed actually and I love it when I find a good one, a really really good one!

THE MCMOMMY CHRONICLES

It hilarious.

Random Ramblings....Part Deux.

1. Dinner time with toddlers is my least favorite part of the day. Cash loves carbs and Presley loves protein. There is no happy medium.

2. Yesterday for lunch Cash ate 2 hot dogs, mac and cheese and doritos....i give up on the whole organic meal plan.

3. Paying the cleaning lady is the best money I've every spent....I have a clean house for 2.5 hours.

4. 3 months off from working out.....uggggggg, back on the treadmill. Thank god for breastfeeding, it makes weight fall off even as I indulge in campus-u-tote-em. I just might breastfeed until V is 3....kidding!

5. J. Crew's shipping prices are ridiculous. I paid $17.50 today.

6. I spent last week with 3 sick kids and a sick husband. Why is it the kids are easier to please and take care of combined than the husband?

7. Thank you for shows being back on....I missed you Pretty Little Liars. Yes, I am 31 and I watch ABC Family Channel.

8. I can't believe I am turning 32...I swear high school was just a few years ago, I still can remember what I wore on the first day.

9. Travis bought me new clothes for Xmas, but I can't seem to where anything except for my $10 snowman pjs I bought at Fred Meyer.

10. Snow is over-rated. Big time.

11. The only reason I keep my dogs is because they are great at cleaning up the floor after the twins are done eating. J/K...kinda....

12. I saw Black Swan and wow...Natalie Portman is amazing and I wish I could do ballet.

13. I love the new OWN network.

14. I am excited for 2011. I am lucky. Life is good, I really need to remember that.

Kiddos.

My kids are my world. Love them.

Happy New Year!
