Our townhouse

Why is it I have such a hard time keeping this house clean? Is it perhaps because my unruly toddler always feels the need to make a mess of everything I am cleaning?!?! UGh Here are some recent pics of our living room, I would love to redecorate but am having a tough time thinking of what to do!

Hi Ho..Hi Ho..

It's off to work I go :-( Monday! BOO! I am having a real tough time, even though I work 5 hour nights, and kids will be with my hubby...I am sad. The pump and I have a love/hate relationship and right now its 95%hate... I am going to miss my nights with these sweeties!

Oh and Stacey if your reading..thanks for the little sweater for Kameryn...it's super cute and she's wearing it in 2 of these pics!

70 Degrees!

Well today was the first warm day of the year. I wanted to get out of the house nice and early, but Heather (my 6 yr old stepdaughter) would not get out of bed!!! She finally rolled out around 10am.

I have a problem. I must have the whole house immaculate before I leave. I need to come to the realization that with little ones around, this is not possible. We did not leave the house until 2pm today....Is that even normal?? I can't stand the mess, but with baby and toddler it is soooo tough!

I took the 3 girls to a restaurant. By myself, this was not an easy task but we survived. We then went to the park for a walk and the girls played in the playground. It was a beautiful day.

Now starts the one week countdown to going back to work....:-(

My baby is too old.

6 weeks is too old. I don't want her to grow up!!! I cuddled with Kameryn for 45 minutes today...She is getting big fast, and I am going to miss this. She is almost sleeping through the night, and is a perfect baby! Hailey was also a great baby...I got lucky. Now to hoping that she does not develop the nasty attitude her older sister has. This child is driving me up the wall!

And yes, this is a common face of hers...which is accompanied by the occasional pout...and plenty of smiles of course..

.

On a brighter note! We are going to the farm in an hour or so, to see the piggys and duckys! Hailey shall smile for at least the time we are there, and to me..that's a great afternoon. Just me and my girls!

My Sleepy Sling Baby

Well, I developed a nasty cold today, so now me and my girls have nice matching runny noses. My day seemed like it was going downhill until the mail came! Stacey made me a great sling and I am so excited!! Someone else really likes it too :

Sleepy Baby

Thanks Stacey!

My little pug

The start to a wonderful day...

Kameryn cannot breathe! She sounds like a little pug puppy and is constantly gagging. It is so hard to watch your 5 week old have a cold! It should be considered a form of torture. The bulb syringe is her worst enemy, and I think she hates me today.

Needless to say, I have my hands full...

Time Out

My precious daughter Hailey is quite the terror in the morning. She usually wakes grumpy, whining my name as I try to fumble down the stairs with baby Kammie in hand. She screams for my attention, boy this is getting tough. Two diapers to change, Two mouths to feed..both at the same time.. Hailey wants a waffle, Hailey is screaming for a waffle. No...dont put it in the toaster..Hailey must want it still frozen for she has hit the floor wailing. Oh boy, Kammie is crying, she hasn't nursed in 3 hours, did she just poop AGAIN?! Hailey, get out of the dog's cage..

This is my daily routine..and these kids are wearing me out!!!

Love and Marriage....

Today is my anniversary. My husband and I were married on April 7th 2007. I was 7 months pregnant, and not so happy in my large unfitted wedding dress. It was a cold day, and the DJ called me Mary and got our first dance song wrong. With all this, it was one of the best days of my life. I love my husband,Park, and I don't know what I'd do without him.

We met in 2004 while working together. I left that position because well, relationships and work tend to not work. He proposed to me 10 months after we met, but we decided we were not going to marry until 2007. We decided not to postpone the wedding just because I was pregnant(unplanned). I am happy we made that choice.. and I wouldn't change my life for anything...

I love my family.

Crying over Spilt Milk

I decided today that I need somewhere to keep all these thoughts. My days are long , well until I return to work in 3 weeks(which I am dreading). I cannot imagine leaving my two babies without me for even an hour,nevermind 5 or 6. I am lucky in the fact that I work nights and my hubby can watch them, but it is not the same! I need a new job, it doesn't pay well and I know I am capable of so much more. I am registering for the Fall semester this year, so that's a start.

The title of this blog describes my morning. For those of us who breastfeed we know how hard it is to pump. I am trying to just build up a supply for when I return to work, but I only have a bottle pumped! (which my mother will need when she watches Kammie on Wednesday) Well today Kameryn decided to sleep all morning, so I decided to catch up on some pumping. After going through the strenuos process, I spilled the bottle all over the counter underneath the breadbox and on the floor. I wanted to cry. This stuff is liquid gold to me and my daughter!

I put Hailey down for a nap about 20 minutes ago, is she sleeping? Most likely not. I gave her a time out this morning , her first time out. She threw a hissy fit after breaking her waffle in half and I refused to give her another. She dropped to the floor screaming. The time out did not go well. She was acting like I was hurting her...tears streaming down her face.. I felt horrid.

I'm trying to start my bow business of etsy, but I can never find the time to make bows....

Well That is it for now... I have so much to say but I shall save it for another time.
