Discouraged

Today I am discouraged. Our morning started with realizing someone broke into my husbands car (on our driveway) and stole his BRAND NEW (as in, just got for father's day) expensive mountain bike and his stereo (only the face plate, morons!). Police report was filed. But we aren't going to file with insurance. Auto wont cover the bike, only the stereo. And Home owners will cover the bike but our deductible is $1,000! And now that we're out more than that over the bike, we don't have an extra grand siting around for that. And visa insures it's purchases apparently for 30 days, which was a glimmer of hope... until he called and they said, no because it was on our property. For them to refund us, it would have to of been stolen in public, what?!?! Anyhoo, I don't get people. Seriously, get a job and buy your own stuff! Ugh. Today sucks.

Wondering Wednesday

I wonder HOW on earth parents send their kids away to camps and such! How do these mommies survive!?!?! At least I'm getting daily photos and MULTIPLE phone calls everyday!

I wonder how my daughter knew I needed to hear her tell me, "You're my favorite Mommy EVER, you know?!?!" at the exact moment she informed me.

I wonder what I did to deserve my 21 month old picking up on this potty training thing virtually over night!

And lastly, I REALLY REALLY wonder what on earth that woman in front of me in line at Target was taking! She had SIX children under the age of 7 and she seemed perfectly sane! Saner than me with only the one!!! Oy Vey!

not so glamorous

My life is not glamorous. Never has been and I've accepted that it probably never will be. But that's okay, glamour simply isn't my style. :) For instance, today I was overjoyed when Monkey pooped in her potty. ITS SO NOT GLAMOROUS TO BLOG ABOUT POOP! Nor is it glamorous to say what happened when she jumped up, completely freaked out by the experience and proceeded to poo the remainder on the floor! So today I cleaned poo off the floor and tomorrow's gem is yet to be revealed! I think glamour just might be overrated.

Pee and toots in the POTTY!

MONKEY PEED IN THE POTTY TONIGHT!!! And not only that, she was the one that let me know she had to go!!! Then about an hour later she took me to the potty again, but this time she sat there and let out about four HUGE farts! No actual poo or pee was produced, but I was proud all the same! Oh the little things in life! :)

snails pace

Well time is crawling by! My big girl has only been gone for two days now and I am in full blown withdrawals. There might have been some sobbing involved last night. And YES I KNOW that I am pregnant and hormonal! My husband thinks I've lost my marbles... which might have actually happened. I love having time with the little one, it is so neat to see her personality when independent from sissy. The hardest time is bed time and nap time. Those are the moments when Big Sissy and I have our quiet time together. She has been calling a lot, but not enough, and when she suddenly says, "Okay Mommy, love you goodbye!" it breaks my heart. Like, what could be more fun then sitting there on the phone and talking to me?!?!?!?! Clearly I'm insane, I think I will go smoother monkey now!

I AM ALIVE! :)

A thousand apologies for my recent absence. We have house guests and things have been a bit busy around here. Tomorrow morning my mother in-law and father in-law leave... and with them they will take Big Sissy! :( I agreed to this almost a year ago. But now that the time is here, I'm not so sure how I'm taking it. She will head up to northern California with them, spend 8 days with them and then 8 days with my parents. And then my parents will bring her back. I have never been away from her for more than one night. And it wasn't 24 hours, just a night (for this last marine corps ball). I might spend the next 16 days in the fetal position on the floor. Ugh. Well, I'm off to go spend my last moments with my first born! Send prayers, I'm weak and I will need them! ;)

Oh and here are two 15 week and 2 day bump shot. (Yes, I know I look like I'm 20 weeks already! But hey, I have big babies! haha)



Me with all THREE <3 munchkins!
