mom, mommy, mama, mama, mama......
noah, woke up at early this morning. i am not sure of the exact time because without my glasses/contacts i have a hard time making out the numbers on the clock. i do know that the time started with a 5.
i am so tired i could fall asleep right at the computer desk.
i tried to ignore him but soon his, "mama's" got so loud they were bordering screams. i had to get him out of bed before he woke his sister. it didn't work. by 6:15 the kids were sitting at the table eating breakfast and i was standing infront of my coffee maker willing it to brew my (extra strong) coffee, faster.
why does sleep deprivation have to be apart of being a parent?
why can't kids be born with the ability to sleep as long as their parents need them to so we aren't zombies?
i used to pride myself on being the master of getting my kids to sleep well.
noah, has crushed that notion.

30 days of truth day 3
oops, i missed a day. sorry i am really trying but my hubby is sick and we had a funeral yesterday. what do you want from me. i promise to do better.
any-who....
day 3 : something you need to forgive yourself for.
i have horrible "mommy guilt," about being away from my children. i am not sure why i do. i mean i am with my children all. the. time. but it is just so unnatural for me to be away from them. becasue even though they do make me crazy and when i do plan a night out i find myself counting the seconds until i break free. that feeling of freedom only lasts for a moment. by the time i get to the stop sign at the top of my street, my heart is aching to see those little faces. it seriously takes all my strength not to turn the car around and go snuggle up on the couch with my babies.
i know i need help.
happy saturday!

30 days of truth day 2
day 2 : something you love about yourself.
i love the family that i created with the help of my amazing husband. believe me it was/is not always picnics and roses. being a wife and momma is very, very hard but i wouldn't change one thing. i feel so blessed to have this wonderful life. i often ask myself how did i get so lucky?

30 days of truth... beter late then never!
i saw this
on these blogs.
and though it would be a good way to give myself some accountability when it comes to blogging. lets face it i have been a suckie blogger the past month and i want to kick this lull in the rear. so here we go.
The questions I’ll be answering for my 30 Days of Truth Project:
day 1 : Something you hate about yourself.
i am horrible with confrontation. i hate that when something/someone is bothering me, i can't speak up and say so. sometimes this is a good thing for example, "if you don't have anything nice to say don't say anything at all." but sometimes after the opportunity to speak my mind passes i am often left kicking myself for not speaking up. however, i have found that when it comes to my babies, i have zero fear about speaking up on their behalf. i should just channel those feelings of "momma bear," to everything else in my life.

thoughts
it's wednesday and the sun isn't up yet. noah and i have already been up for an hour. i dont like being awake before the sun it just seems unnatural.
i have been feeling sick for the past two days. i am in a constant state of nausea blahhhhhhhhhhh. NO i am not pregnant.
but let me tell you, feeling like this has made me remember those first 20 weeks (no that is not a typo i meant 20 weeks) of pregnancy when all i can keep down is gatorade chips. can you say, torture!
i have come to the conclusion that i don't want to be pregnant again. there is no way i can be sick like that and take care of my babies.
i mean two kids is still a lot of kids. right?

happiness
so this post might be a little vain but i don't care. this is my blog anyway and i can post whatever i want. am i right or am i right?
ok, so every week my babies and i have lunch with my grandparents at a popular greasy spoon on the west side of cincinnati (name that restaurant!). any way, this particular eatery is very popular among those "advanced" in the age department :). and every week i just love how these folks respond to my babies.
they love them!
because we are regulars, my kids know most of the costumers and workers. when i see the smiles on the faces of those people when my babies wave high or give them high fives, it makes me so proud. so proud to be the momma of these beautiful souls, who literally put smiles on everyone's face, even if it is just a wave hello.
it makes me think corey and i should populate the world with our little lovies. i may be a little bi-est but i think it would make for a wonderful world.
happy wednesday!
