Spinning Wheels...

We all know spinning your wheels is to waste time doing something that is not effective. Most of us deal with this on a daily basis...for example, picking up the kids toys while they are still awake or talking to our husbands while they are watching sports.

Anyway, I literally watched the wheels of the minivan spin and spin and spin today while the vehicle did not move one inch!!

Keep in mind while you read this post that this was the first day in 13 days that I planned on being home with the kids. R left early to catch the train and the kids and I got off to a late start. I turned on my cell phone around 10 only to get a text from my lovely husband that the minivan was stuck at the train station and we had to call the roadside assistance of the insurance when he got home.

Super Suzie to the rescue....My sister called about the same time and said she was going to stop by with TaTa. I read her the text message and she thought we would be able to get the vehicle unstuck ourselves. Long story short (way too late) we couldn't get the darn thing to move so we had to have someone come and help!!

I took some pictures just for fun while Super Suzie sat in the minivan to guide the wheels in the right direction.

R has been joking that we had the Mothership up for sale referring to the upcoming baptism and the role of the G-dmother. While we already asked Sue and Carolyn, R said Super Suzie earned her seat today...so I guess it is no longer up for sale.

Celebrate good times....

FINALLY, my 13 days of dog sitting are over!! Yes, I committed to dog sitting during the holidays WITH A BRAND NEW BABY, JUST AFTER MOVING!! However, you all know that I have a soft spot for dogs (and some extra cash) and these dogs in particular are so sweet (and I get paid really well) and they are my remaining clients from my 'dog walking business' days! When I went back to corporate america, I decided to keep them because of the relationship I had with their mom and dad and when I left corporate america to get knocked up every year, I had already fallen in love with the dogs!! ANYWAY....OVER OVER OVER!!

Back to our usual calm and scheduled days...KIDDING but we are happy we will be home at a decent time now and I have two less living things depending on me! Back to just P, A, Baby Beau, Mattie,Chino, Bernie, Boss and the husband (because he soooo depends on me too)!

Duty is calling downstairs....

A night on the town (hardly)

We went to Fuddruckers for some fine dining this evening. P and A went to play
some games with Daddy after we finished eating which left (sleeping) Beau and I at
the table.

When in the heck did eating at an establishment a step above
McDonalds turn into an experience as relaxing as a spa vacation? The 3 of them
played for 40 minutes while I sat and did nothing for the first time in 3 years
(except cuddle Beau)!!!

When they came back to the table, P had to go potty. He was running behind me a
couple paces and there was a jingle coming from his pocket. I asked him what he
had in his pants and he said (nice and loud) 'MY BALLS!!!'. (Referring to the
little toy balls he had in his pocket by the way BUT of course I was thinking something else and couldn't stop laughing)!!

Ultrasound??!!??

Today I had an ultrasound FOR MY GALLBLADDER (just to clear the air) and I had to bring all 3 kids. While Baby Beau (we went back to the original spelling since that is the first four letter in beautiful) never cries, she decided the way into the hospital was a great time to cry very hard!! P and A were following me and on their best behavior!!

While we don't have a lot of kids by any means, people like to look at us when we are out (I can't wait until I have the 4th). Anyway, the waiting room at the hospital was packed. I walked up to the counter to register and I said I was here for an ultrasound....I swear time started going really slowly and everyone looked at me...okay fine just half the waiting room but they looked...looked like HOLY SHIT, THAT CHIC IS HAVING ANOTHER ONE ALREADY????? Anyway, I cleared the air proclaiming it was for a gallbladder...not a uterus...ALTHOUGH I have to say, (call me crazy) I wouldn't mind!!

While I was sitting in the waiting room, a lady in her 60's asked how old the kids were and when I told her she said, "I could NEVER have kids like that. I only had 2 and they were 4.5 years apart. It takes a special person to have kids like that..."

And here I want 2 more....and so I ask....special person or crazy person????

Mommy's Helper....NOT

I may be in divorce court over this post but so worth it....

Babies don't cry...

First of all, while we were moving with our baby only being 2 weeks old, I ran across a book I got at discharge after having the baby. It said that the first few weeks after bringing a new baby home, you should keep your life as simple as possible!! That made me laugh so hard considering I was sitting in the middle of our new closet with stuff all around me IN BOXES!! Considering we managed to live through that smiles on our faces confirms that we can handle a couple more kids (although my donor has openly agreed to one more, he has said nothing about two more...which is good thing, right?)!!

Today I asked P to see if the baby was still asleep in the pack n' play. He told me she was awake but then told me that she was so quiet...and then said, 'babies don't cry.' I had to explain to him that yes babies do cry...just not ours!! Here I told him for 9 months how much babies cry....She is such a good baby!! Honestly....so calm, peaceful, sweet and happy and sleeping through the night (a hell of a lot more than I can say for myself)!!

I have to go clean but just wanted to blog for a little bit!!

Here I am......

We have been so hectic with the new baby, moving, the holidays, R's B-Day, A's 2nd B-Day, oh yeah and unpacking....needless to say, I have been unable to escape to the office to blog and the laptop is not working AGAIN!! My friend sent me a facebook message and asked me if I was in the witness protection program!! She made me laugh and also made me think.....

I am going to be blogging later today or tomorrow....oh fine...sometime this weekend. I actually miss writing my blogs and so much has happened that I wanted to blog about and I have to say I have no idea what any of the things were...hence the reason I like to blog. It makes me notice the little things during the day when I am looking for material to write about and once I write the things that happened, it always me to remember things I would have forgotten!! I also love to go back and read things and make myself smile!! This has turned into more of a diary and a reason to have 3 minutes to myself a day!!

Okay, I am supposed to be Mapquesting for my parents (the only reason I have not been harassed yet) BUT I heard R ask my parents if I went to the bathroom....party is over....Maybe the witness protection program doesn't sound so bad....JUST KIDDING!!
