Last night I felt like I wanted to run away - isn't that awful? It seemed like everything was going in some direction I didn't want too. Ugh! After dinner we decided to sit in the hot tub - Ahh.. so.. relaxing. Amelia fell asleep shortly after we got in, and Landen was being a splashing maniac so that relaxation was quickly taken away because I had to get out. Then after everyone was cleaned up and ready for bed I decided to sit down with some popcorn (which wasn't even good because it wasn't the kind I wanted). During which Amelia woke up, Landen needed his mommy, my drink got spilled all over everywhere, the pop corn was soggy and gross and that ended that thought about moment. Laundry was still laying all over, toys were everywhere and I didn't feel like putting them away. I
On to interesting news - Landen is still sucking his thumb and now has a cold. We have had more colds this year - common, it's June!?!? Amelia wants to walk and actually let go of my hands a couple of times yesterday and just stood there. It's still very doubtful she'll be walking before a year. Landen called Kurt and idiot yesterday - I about croaked and then realized I call people idiots a lot (oops, bad mommy coming out) and Toy Story says idiot a lot and that's been his favorite pick as far as movies go lately. When did parenting get so hard!?! It's definitely the hardest thing I've ever done - maybe because I really want my kids to have good qualities about them, that make them good people and it's hard instilling that in them. Maybe I'm beating myself up. They really are great!!!
My sisters (Beck and Savannah) sent me a funny e-mail yesterday - it's was a Contest Entry Tracker Checklist - ha ha ha! I laughed really hard and laughed again when I told Kurt. Hey, so I love a contest!! Check out my contest blog and you'll see how much I love a contest. Still on the fence on whether or not I want to do my own reviews, I wish I could do more with someone else. Props N' Pans is going well though. This is my third week having something up for the Must have Monday's and I have two reviews coming shortly.
The new TV is up and working. It's pretty nice... and big. Just waiting on the couches to come in and then we'll be set up in here. Oh and I bought fabric today to make a pretty curtain for the window in here. I couldn't find what I wanted in the right color.. so fine I'll make it myself. Being the super crafty sewer that I am.. oh I should have that whipped up in about a month. =)
I finally ordered a large wet bag last night, after looking all over I took the route Stacey suggested and purchased one from Sewing Mom Just Accessories Etc. I know I've been putting the wet bag thing off for entirely too long, but after finding out that poopy/pee pee diaper attract ants I have had enough. The fabric is gorgeous and I'm anxious to blog about it once it comes.
Now that my computer is being super slow - grr! I'm going to publish this. I hope you enjoyed this edition of my life. LoL!!
* Wonder where the title came from? Or maybe not- well, Landen got a batman mask today and he likes to be called batman now!*

Hope your day goes better tomorrow! :-) I have days like you are describing all the time and I always think I want to run away too. Like you, of course I never would, but sometimes that seems the easiest road. Hey, don't be too hard on yourself about parenting. Always try to remember that your kids are their own people too and not everything is a reflection on you. This is my mantra as my kids get older and develop their own personalities, sometimes with qualities that aren't the most admirable. I have one who is quite controlling and it can make him rather nasty at times. I think, where did he get that from? Where did I go wrong? Was I a bad example somwhere along the way? Finally, one day, I ralized I needed to give the kid a little credit for being his own person. I read once that the difference between moms and dads is that, when the kid misbehaves the mom thinks, What did I do wrong?, and the dad thinks, What's wrong with that kid?!! Ha ha, but often quite true!
You KNOW I know how you feel!! As much as I wish you didn't feel this way I must admit it's nice to know I'm not the only one.
We will have to make popcorn when you are over here next. We got some really nummie popcorn! We ran out and had to order more so we have 15 POUNDS of it HAHAHAHA
Oh Amelia is going to be so adorable walking around!!!! I know she is almost 1 but she just seems so small still!!
hi andrea,
thanks for stopping by my blog. Your blog is awesome. Dude that last entry is my life right now. Our youngest son JP is a raving maniac. He growls and roars at people. I'm not kidding. Today he roared at our next door neighbor. What the - do I live in an animal shelter?!
Perhaps.
hey, do you knit? I think it's cool that you sew. I'm starting to sew now and I love crafty stuff. Oh! And the waterbirthing thing! have you done that? I want to do that. So OK sorry for blabbing on and on. TTYL Heather
I love random blog posts! Nice one. ;)
Funny timing, too. I just noticed the word "idiot" in Toy Story the other day, too.
So when is your b-day? You'll be 27, is that right? I think you should at least go out to dinner. :)
Hmmm... sounds like you need to get out for some fresh air. That's totally what I wanted tonight, but hubby got to it before me, and now I'm stuck in front of the computer again. Ughh.... today was so long it felt like a week.
It was nice chatting with you yesterday though :)
