insanity

Soooooooooo...Jonathan is out of town today.


Which means I'm home. Alone. With three children.


Did I really voluntarily have three????


Toby's turning everything into a ball. I'd kick him outta the house if it weren't so wet & chilly!


Bristel's following me around whining. She hasn't had a cranky-free day in weeks!


Trevor's cuttin' a tooth & clumsy (he's banged his head at least five times already) & down-right monster-licious.


Ahhhhhhhhhh!


Maybe I should find the job after all!? And let J be Mr. Mom!

Nahhh...I can't see a man doing three kids alone. i know there are men out there that do, and I give them credit.

My husband doing this?? Ha, that's a good laugh. Just as much as I would hate doing his job, the kids would fire him if he had to do mine. We both agree that we fit the jobs we were assigned.

well...with one down (for a nap!) it's MUCH easier!

just a few more minutes and it'll be two down.

and then I'll convince Toby to rest too!

Hubby and I both have full time jobs. Actually, including motherhood I have two...hubby could do the first, the second...no way!!! He is alone with my two girls every Friday and when I get home at 4:45, it's like the whole house goes, oh finally.....mom's home!! But the funny thing is, he claims they behave like angels for him so I don't know what his and their deal is!! lol

It's days like these that make me wish I was still at CapOne climbing the corp ladder! lol

Funny thing is...Jonathan is the same way...it's like a breeze to care for the kids. Of course I usually find... Toby's on the playstation all day... Bristel's up to her elbows in m&m's...and Trevy's in his pack & play with a juice box!

The diff between guys & girls! lol

the naps were great...but not long enough! *grin*

BUT...the hubster came home mid-bath & rescued me! Yeah!

Now I need my heating pad warming my back (it's my nightly ritual) and the remote!

so I totally missed your blgo yesterday... a little thing called work got in the way!

Glad J is back. My hubby can barely handle one or two of them alone... NEVER three!

YAY for naps! Can I have one now? Yes I realize I have only been up for 2 hours, but I am ready to go back to bed :)

Guess I should go blog on my site!

No, I don’t know him personally

  I’ve had several emails today asking if I know Mike W. of Marissa’s Bunny personally.    Trevy’s blog was linked on her site.  Although it’s not now.     I’ve posted here and there at his request.  Because…well…we’re a community.  Us IS families.  And Marissa is wicked cute.  Her daddy has a way with words.  Also who wouldn’t want the world to know about an iPad give-away?    But aside from that…I know about as much as you do.    We’ve never met in person.    Our only communication has been cyber.    I’m a ginormous sap and as such would love to believe that all is right.  That the sweet, beautiful families who were promised iPads will be getting them tonight.  Tomorrow at the latest.  That no one has been lied to.  That the personal thank you for your generosity email I sent him on behalf of other IS families I’ve grown to love and was thrilled to learn w...

I was talking about you today

That's right. You. Sitting there glued. To the computer screen. Getting your Trevy fix. You who hasn't been able to tear your eyes away. The one who checks back here gobs of times a day. Hanging on every post. Especially the dripping with drama or funny posts. Because you need to either laugh or cry alternately. Just like me. And somewhere...sometime...somehow...over the course of these past couple years... ...you found yourself here. Reading about me. About my family. About my Trevy. And slowly you were drawn in. Until you couldn't help yourself. You were head over heels. Unashamedly addicted. Maybe we connected in a support forum. Perhaps we're old college friends. I know we have family following. Hi guys! Some teachers and therapists. Maybe even a medical professional or two. Perhaps our kids play ball together. We might be FaceBook friends. Or you could be a friend of a friend. Even a complete stranger. But to us... you each have a very special pla...

runaway

I tend to be a live out loud kinda girl. But sometimes... well...sometimes life is just so heavy. So intense. So overwhemling. That it brings out the recluse in me. Like lately. The thing is...I know it'll pass. It always does. And I'll learn something. Grow. Hopefully. Survive. Certainly. Because I have to. It's just right now. In this particular heavy moment. I would much rather run away to some tropical paradise and sip martinis until Jonathan calls to tell me Trevy's back at home. Happy. And seizure free. With a new head of curls covering the scar and bouncing around the house. I am a coward after all. I've never denied that. And I really don't want to live through this next month. Which is probably why my posts will be random. At best.
