You will probably never hear me say this again....

But I cannot wait to go to my doctors appointment in the morning! And its not
just a regular check up kind of appointment (do adults even still get these??).
Its my girly appointment.

Why am I so eager to get felt up by a little asian man?? Because I have had
the last two days from hell and I'm looking forward to the "alone" time.
Pathetic.

But seriously, a 2 year old with a double ear infection that REFUSES to be out
of my arms for 36 straight hours, a dog that chew my brand new doormat and then
tracks dirt all through my clean house, a crink in my neck that has prevented me
from looking to the right all day, and a 4 year old her informed me her friends
are coming over on Sunday (because Emily is busy on Friday) for a fashion show
and makeovers, is enough to send anyone to their gyno begging for an
appointment.

life before kids......

What the heck is that like? Anyone remember? I found this website called Before Kids, they have some really really cute stuff, but it got me thinking.....What do I miss about life before kids?



I miss small purses. I forget what its like to have to run to the store and you just grab some money, keys, and phone. HA! Those days are over. Now I always have diapers, drinks, snacks, band aids, wipes....you get the point.



I miss having no time restrictions. How many times has this happened to you. You call to make an appointment for the doctor, dentist, carpet cleaners, whatever and they tell you they have a 1pm. BAD. Right in the middle of nap time. Or your child free friends want to meet for dinner at 7ish. BAD. Its bed time in the world of toddlers.



I miss showering along. My three year old insists on showering with me every night. Which is ok because it kills two birds with one stone. But I would love to be able to shave my legs without it turning into some sadistic yoga routine, use HOT water instead of the cold Mia loves so much, and NOT step on mermaid barbie 309842039840 times.

I miss uninterrupted sleep.

I miss going out with the girls till all hours of the night (or morning). Dancing, drinking, laughing, going to Dennys and being stupid, getting kicked out and then being welcome with open arms at Steak and Shake.

Those were the days.

Although I miss my kid free days, I wouldnt trade my crazy, hectic, kid filled life for all the money in the world.

The House of Bodily Fluids

Yes, this week our house has seen more snot, piss, poop, and puke than anyone needs to.

Monday: Take Mia to the doctor for runny nose (cue snot), cough, the works. Find out she has a bad double ear infection.
Tuesday: Mason is now coughing and snotty. Doc calls and says Mia's strep test is positive. Wants to know if Mason has any symptoms. "Like what?" I ask. "Well like a fever (no), not wanting to eat (no) or a rash (WTF?!?)." Um we were just in there twice in the last week for a rash! So they want me to bring him in the next day.
Wednesday: Bring Mason in to doc. He has a double ear infection and strep too. Great.
Thursday: Both kids are on the medicine trifecta, antibiotics, Tylenol, and Benadryl and seem to be getting better.
Friday: Mason wakes up with a bleeding diaper rash. So naked it is. (cue the piss and poop now)
Saturday: Mia is almost 100%, Mason is still coughing and still naked. (more pooping)
Sunday: Mason is still naked but his butt is much much better. I'm thinking this might all be coming to an end. WRONG! Mia puked everywhere. And a lot. About two days worth of food.


This has got to be the end of things right??? I swear if something else goes wrong I will have to be admitted.

Damn you Murphy!

Wouldn't you know it, my husband goes out of town for a mere 48 hours and only a few hours into day one something breaks. Something that I wouldn't have the first clue how to fix. Its only a ceiling fan but still.... Thankfully he'll be home Sunday. Lets just all cross our fingers nothing big goes, like something on the car. Because then I will REALLY be screwed.

Is this some kind of test for how it will be for the next year? Do I need to learn out to change a tire, unclog a drain, gasp take out the trash?!?!? I sure hope not!

On a brighter note, GRANDMA IS HERE!!! So we all know what that means...Break time for mommy :)

I need a manicure.

And a pedicure.

Maybe a shopping trip, alone :)

But I will probably spend most of this time packing and getting ready for the big move. Well, maybe after my mani/pedi.

And since we're still in the "getting to know you" stage of this blog I just wanted everyone to have a little glimpse into my every day life. Don't be jealous, I know you all want the blissful peace and quiet that is my life :)
