Random

  • The secret to a quiet supper: No afternoon snack.
  • Running out of diaper wipes always happens when you absolutely need them.
  • Changing dirty diapers of children who are not mine makes me gag. It's disgusting.
  • Being sick when you're a mom really, really sucks.
  • I share everything because it's liberating and makes my mundane life a bit more interesting. Everyone should have one set of friends with who they can share EVERYTHING. Where you can pick up where you left off if you haven't seen each other for ages. Ours are Darren and Amy. There's not much left unsaid.
  • My house is filthy. And we're having Cheri, Farron (who I always manage to call Charron and Ferry) and Elliot for the weekend.
  • I've lost a few pounds this week and I'm elated. That's just a bit sick being I'm pregnant.
  • Avrie went pee on the potty last night all by herself!!!!! I'm so taking advantage of this opportunity! She's fascinated with it. And she wore undies for part of today. Yipeeeeee. Except I didn't realize (dumb I know) until last night that you have to wipe little girls. Or at least dab, ya know.
  • I made gingerbread pudding cake today. Mmmmmm. Thanks, Mom.
  • And chicken noodle soup. I wish my Mom had been here to make it for me instead because she cleans up the dirty dishes right away.
  • I'm so desperate for two peaceful minutes away from my kids that I'm dragging my sick butt out the door and going grocery shopping.
  • This weekend is going to feel like summer.

Congrats on the pregnancy.
Yeah for Avie. It's even better when it's them that wants to train, Nolan was like that.
I feel that girls are easier than boys. With boys you have to have to teach them to aim.

One thing I cannot stand is to have cold slimy dirty dishes in a sink of cold slimy dirty water..GAG..
But thinking back..I had it that way many times..kids come first and sometimes so does ME TIME.
