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 sure hope...

they grow back curly! Saw the "unknown" flashing on the face of my cell phone and knew who it was. Who it had to be. Dr. Fellow. My eyes met Grams' and I nodded. Grams has a pool, see. For super hot days like today. We're also having a septic installed. Which meant no water or facilities at my place. But those weren't really the reasons I was there. Close to mom. The purple ringing thing in my hand was. Only I wasn't prepared for it to be ringing SO darn soon. Shortly after lunch instead of dinner! I swallowed. Took a deep breath. And clicked connect. Dr. Fellow has a very nice phone tone. Clear. Hint of compassion. If only a stitch of humor were added...it'd be heavenly. But there was no humor. Just business. He's very direct. I'm learning that about him. Which explains his short hello. Followed by immediately pushing into the news. Being that it was a unanimous consensus. The entire surgical committee feels Trevor is a good candidate. And then p...

it ain't sexy livin' on an island...

Especially when you have to cross bridges to get ANYWHERE. Very LARGE bridges. The crests of which I inevitably get stuck at. Speaking of...why is it that at the tippity tops of our bridges...the railings always open up? To reveal an eagle's eye view of the white capped depths below? I HATE that. And sure enough...in route to Dr. Pedi yesterday...they must have seen me coming cause traffic ground to a halt at the top of the Mt. Hope Bridge. Where I felt less than Hope-ish. My palms gushing my nerves onto the steering wheel for a good 15 (felt like forever) minutes. Not just things medical bring out my cowardly lion. Heights do too! Anyway... Grabbed an iced coffee and chocolate cream filled to settle my nerves on the way. And we arrived on time...in one piece. Of course. Dr. Sick-Visit-Pedi breezed in chart in hand. Glanced down. Then at Trevy. Then said... "He has a history of Infantile Spasms?" Surprise and speculation in her voice. We get that a lot. It...
