The Weekend Edition

So yay it's Saturday. Now Saturdays as a mom and wife don't consist of fist pumping at some hot new club.... no it's quite different. But this Saturday is going to be a good Saturday! My besty Katherine is coming over with GAMES.... and HARRY POTTER VI!! And I am attempting to make Mandarin/Orange Chicken and Broccoli with fried rice!!! OMG it's totally off the top of my head like I ever made it before... wish me luck :) We also got these frozen Daiquiri and Margarita drink things... so we are going to have a BBBBBLLLAST! Super excited!



I'll keep you posted!

Brown Bear Brown Bear.....

Wow another great day. The weather is just so inviting. Did a lot of personal errands today, feel like I got a lot done, still not finished exactly. Have a lot to do this week can't be lazy at all! I think maybe this week of having things to do and places to go will give me the kick in the ass I need to stop being so lazy! Kids got their shots today (my poor babies). My daughter who just turned 4 got 5 shots!!!! That's insane to me, I remember getting shots as a kid but I don't think I ever got 5 shots in one sitting. I could understand if she was behind on shots... but this was a regular scheduled routine vaccination... and that's a lot of stuff to be pumping into my child at such a young age I believe. I know that vaccinations are mandatory and I get why they are, but I really do wonder sometimes if it's worth all the crap that's put into their little bodies to prevent stuff that hasn't happened in decades! I don't know I do it cause it's mandatory (one) and (two) I got them and I turned out fine... didn't I?

On another note.... I am so proud of my son Damien!! I love you baba!! He attempted to read a book to his speech therapist today and he did so well!! I mean he is only 2 but he basically just memorized the book... but the fact that we could understand what he is saying or trying to say. I am so proud of his development, and how far he has come, not only with his speech issues, but his personality as well. He has really come a long way, and his personality is really coming out of it's shell. I thank everyone that had a hand in giving my son the tools he needed to get through his issues and show him that he can do it!

I love my Family :)

Spring is in the Air!!

Wow today was a truly beautiful day! The sun was out but not overwhelming at all. The temperature was perfect. I always look forward to spring weather, but it seems like it goes by so fast. It's like we have cold weather... then breaks of awesome weather like today and then as soon as you realize how awesome the weather is... it's too hot! It's like whatever happened to spring and fall? It's as though Winter and Summer don't want to share with the other seasons.

Any who I just wanted to say I posted another video today. It's not something I had planed on doing on my YouTube channel. Usually I am really shy about stuff like that. I get really embarrassed when I sing and realize that other people can hear me... but I thought what the hell... no one watches my stuff anyway right? Well I have to work on my first video haul and make a few more videos coming soon. If only I could stop being so lazy :(

E.L.F. Yourself!

My ELF stuff came today!!! Supperr Exxcited!! Can't wait to do the haul! That's it.... stay tuned!!

I MEAN it!

When your about to become a parent, you start to see how other people deal with their children and you think about how you would do things differently or maybe the same exact way. No matter how many books you read, and how many people you watch or kids you babysit... you are never prepared! I have a sister in law who as it seemed every time I was at the house was screaming her head off! I mean this woman has no patience it seems. I never understood why she was always screaming! Mind you she does have 5 children all in pretty close age. But I never understood her tactics and it was always something we just made fun of. I never sat down and talked to her about the stresses of being a mother, especially with so many children! At the time I didn't have any kids and just never saw her side of things. Once I knew I was having children I envisioned myself as being a different mom than I turned out to be. At times I can be more patient then I ever thought possible, and other times the fuse is only about an inch long! My kids are 1yr and 3 months apart. Sometimes I feel like I have twins! I mean they are always fighting over the same toys, and the fact that I have a boy and a girl, you would think they would want to play with different things.... well they don't. They don't care if it's a manly toy machine gun or a platinum pink super barbie... they both want to play with it! Lately I have been feeling overwhelmed by a lot of stuff and my children are one of them. They seem to never take me seriously. I can talk down to them, I can send them to time-out, I can threaten going to bed.. or taking something away from them... it doesn't matter what it is I tell them.... they act as though I don't exist! I am not one to give empty threats either, I mean what I say and I act accordingly..... and yet they will defy me every chance they get. Now my kids are only 2 and 4 years old.... easy you would think to control the little beasts right? I hate having to play the role of the "bad cop" and yet it seems to be the role I always land. I get so frustrated sometimes and I feel helpless... my kids don't respect me I think, they don't listen to me, they think I'm a joke. Left and right I get talked back to... I get temper tantrums.... I get straight NO to my face! It drives me insane sometimes, because I try so hard to stay calm and to keep my cool.... but sometimes I SNAP... sometimes I blow and Mommy... gives up! I start screaming like a crazy person... I keep repeating myself like a broken record... I throw things...(I got to look intimidating some how), I just seriously flip out. And then what happens? People start listening... people start making moves and doing what I ask of them... but why... why... does it have to get to that point? I don't understand what I am doing wrong... why do people feel the need to dismiss my emotions and thoughts? Why do I have to have a near heart attack inducing fit of rage for someone to listen to me? Then I look like the crazy one... overreacting.... but no one seems to understand where I am coming from. I realized that I need to chill out... I need to let everyone just swallow themselves up.... I have to just focus on the main things... are my children happy? are they healthy? are they safe? Maybe everything else will eventually fall in place... maybe... I just won't care if it does anymore. At the end of the day you can be susie homemaker and have an awesome house, awesome well be-haved children, but we aren't all like that. I need to embrace the fact that I will not be the mom I thought I was going to be.... but at least I'm not my mom!

Hey Stranger!

Omg... it's been awhile!

I hate when my card doesn't work at the gas station pump so I walk into the store in a rush (as always) and I am stuck behind some crazy bag lady buying lottery tickets!! WTF lady move over and scratch your cards with your pinky nail somewhere else! I NEED GAS!!

I decided I was going to have a go at this blogging stuff again. Let's see how long this lasts. I have started a youtube channel and I guess it's kind of like this blog.. a whole lot of not much! I ordered some stuff from E.L.F... and I am so excited to see it.. have to do another haul video!! I need some movie editing software but I sure has heck do not want to pay out of my a$$ for Premire just for my dinky youtube videos.

*side note* Damien broke my glasses. Just snapped it right in half! So I can either wear my old glasses that have some chips in them... or really really cross my fingers and hope I can pull of geek chic! Wish me luck!

Peace
Tece :)
