2 post...2 weeks...EEEK!!

I am sure I should be doing something way more productive with my time...but I am putting off laundry, dishes, clean floors or something. Here are some....MOMMISMS (As I will call them) and please don't leave me in the dark and act like I am that horrible of a mom that I am the only one who does these things. OK..k

1. How many times do you guys were your jeans. I feel like after you have a baby it is ONLY normal to NOT wash your jeans every time. I mean...they fit so much better the 2 or 3 time. Fresh out of the dryer you get that momma crack nobody wants to see.
2. I have a real problem in the mornings picking out the "cute" underwear or the real comfortable ones that I may have worn being pregnant. I think my husband looked at me the other day and was like "Really, there is no excuse for those because you are NOT pregnant anymore"
3. I do not want to dress like a mom..mom jeans, tees ect. BUT where the hell do you guys shop. Have you seen size mediums lately in stores...I think they mean XS but just write M on the tag
4. The smell of cold hot dogs grosses me out. Whats worse....Tucker eating a cold hot dog last night WHILE he had poop in his big boy underwear. That kid is scared to death to poop on the potty??
5. I just want ONE hour to lay in the pool alone...both kids napping...alone in the sun. NO jumping, swimming for legs under water..one hour
6. Michelob Ultra Lime Cactus...my beer of choice this summer...I may or may not drink it EVERY single day :)
7. Oh and Vodka and Sprite when I am not having beer
8. Facebook bores me lately...maybe I should update more but I hate the ppl that post everyday about doing laundry or making supper. Really?? We all are.
9. Pintrest however...makes me smile
10. They say a bottle is good up to an hour after left at room temp...well, I say a bottle is good up to 2 HOURS only because I never know when I made the damn thing in the first place
11. It is hot..and I LOVE my flowers outside but I am tired of watering them already..and its only June. This happens every year and I always get tired of watering them and Nate reminds me of this every April when I plant them. I think it should just be his job and the problem would be solved
12. I really want to loose baby weight...but I really don't want to go on a diet. Also, for all the ppl that don't live in towns and you run...where the hell do you run?? I am scared to death to run on a highway and I though about running. I say thought very lightly because I am sure I wont do it
13. This is our 1st free weekend since April I swear..and next weekend our schedule is full again. I have a love/hate relationship with this right now
14. I am a scheduler and I need to lighten up. When things go off schedule or outta place I freak out! Nate moved Tucker's plates the other day from a cabinet and stuck them in what he thought was a better place. I kinda lost my breath when I went to grab one to put Tucker's cold hot dog on and they weren't there. wooohoo. Chill out momma

More to come later!

TID-BITS

I am not even sure what month we are in.....summer if flying by. The last time I slept more than 8 hour was 3 years ago and my brain is a little groggy.
Our weekends are full of weddings, family functions and the normal hectic routine....but we are trying to enjoy every minute of it.
*Saylor is trying to get teeth.....trying..I say this because some nights its a bit crazy at our house. She is doing soooo much more everyday though. She is babbling all the time...walking in her walker...playing with toys...and eating some veggies. She is still a little bitty thing weighing in at 14.8lbs, but very strong for her size.
* Tucker is cracking us up more and more everyday. He is repeating us and talking to strangers about the funniest things. We really have to be careful what we say and who we say it about now days...he could get us in trouble.
* I think our first free weekend is in September...seriously...how can summer be soooo busy??
* A date night would be ideal with my husband about any day...but we can't seem to even fit that in.
* Potty training Tucker is a JOB!! I should be getting paid. He is smart enough to do it (from me) but stubborn enough NOT to do it (from his dad)
* If Tucker could live in our pool, he would move his bed in there
* I need a GIRLS night/day/weekend. 
* It seems if though my laundry pile is never ending and our food supply is running out all the time....I hate grocery shopping and I am trying to rid the junk out of our house and start eating better. This is WHY I haven't been grocery shopping because I really enjoy junk food but my butt doesnt' need it :)
* I have tons of activities on my list to do around our area this summer and we will start off Friday at the water park I HOPE!!!
* I can't even tell you who is running for president..I should really be more in tune to the world right/?
* I get burned out really bad on work during summer time. I like my job, I want to work for a lot of reasons but I just want July off totally...hehe

I will try to check back in soon :)

Its been a while

We are still kicking around here in the Hay. Busy as usual. Enjoying the awesome weather. We all recently made a trip south, to visit family and enjoy crawfish!!! Here are few tidbits to keep everyone updated
* Saylor Kate is growing growing. She is eating everything she can get her hands on. Literally everything!!! She has teeth that are getting ready to pop through so everything is in her mouth. She is also eating cereal, fruit and couple veggies already. At her last appt. she was 50% in height and weight (weighing in at 13.2lbs) but I can see a big jump in weight soon
* Tucker is running crazy all the time. Learning and doing new things daily. He is working on being a big boy with his potty skills and cracking us up with his language skills. His new favorite saying " OMG Da**". Yep...straight from his fathers mother
* Our summer calendar is already full..how does that happen?? Weekends are booking up till July already. I can't believe it
*The POOL is open...woohoo! Cant wait to get 2 little fish in there soon
* My moms day was soooo great. I enjoyed an afternoon at the winery with about 12 family members. It was so relaxing and quiet!!!!! I got a little spoiled by the kiddos as well with flowers, VODKA(a must) and a massage :)
* My whole family will be together again over memorial day!!! I can't wait.
*Saylor Kate already wants to sit up. Babies dont stay babies very long Although I think she is a tiny little thing (she will thank me for this one day) she is very strong and still such a good baby!!

Confessions....

Here it is folks, some real confessions. Having 2 kids 2 and under, working full time, doing my own housework, running all errands, and trying to STILL have a social life can sometimes get the best of us. This is where confessions come in. These are my own secrets...that I will share with you b/c I am honest. This blog isn't to make me sound like I have it all figured out, like I am Martha Stewart  or like I have a highlighted schedule on my refridgerator. I am organized, I have OCD, but some times you just throw in the towel and you do whatever WORKS!!! We all need sleep and we all need happiness so sometimes its best to pick your battles.

1. I would like to say that my kids are always clean and presented well. Most the time they are....then there are those nights when its 8:30 and NOBODY has eaten or had a bath. So instead of making Tucker throw a fit, I grab some baby wipes and clean him up and put a clean shirt on him and send him to bed. Yes, I am sure baby wipes dont do the job...but his face is clean at least for the next day

2. Speaking of baby wipes.....if someone is coming over in the next 15 minutes and my floors are sticky and not to mention the things in my bathroom...I grab the wipes. I can spot clean a floor and deep clean a bathroom in 5 minutes flat. YEP, it might smell like pampers but at least my toilets are cleaner than they were.

3. Lets NOT even get me started on dinner most nights. I cook 4 or so nights out of the week. (and some of these cooking nights are frozen...ok a lot of them) Sometimes after getting home at 530 and running errands or playing outside there is no time for cooking. Tucker usually picks cold hot dogs and fruit snacks. Thats what he eats a couple nights a week.

4. A lot of nights I drink my dinner...keep the cold hot dogs..I will have something cold for dinner but not a hot dog.

5. laundry is an endless battle..most times I am digging things out of baskets

6. My carpet does NOT get swept enough. I am not even kidding ya'll...there could be stuff living in there and I wouldn't know.  Tucker hates the vacuum so I pick my battles and DON"T use it.

7. Did I mention I drink my dinner a lot....oh I did. Ok

8. Crib sheets are really really hard to change and I can't do it alone.....enough said

9. Saylor Kate is a spitting baby...as was Tucker. Therefor, whatever is in arms reach when she spits is what I use to clean her up.....jacket sleeve...stuffed animal...u get the picture

10. My poor poor car...u would think we live there, I feel like we do. There are dirty diapers at times LOST in my car. I find them usually in a couple days after we have to ride with the windows down to school.

11. McDonald's is our best friends. Tucker says "chicken, fries and tea please" when we pull up.

12. Sometimes I want to go to work on Monday....

13. I let the dog in our house to lick the floor clean after a red sauce night....its the only vacuum that Tucker likes

14. If you put mine and Nathan's legs together...you wouldn't be able to tell who's is who's. I have like 10 seconds to shower and ...well...you know 

15. I sometimes get a dish out of the cabinet and realize it hadn't been washed?? I am tired a lot

I will stop there...some of you have probably thrown up in your mouth. Well...its real life here in the hay. I have sooo much more on my list, but as we speak the dog is in the house and chewing on a toy that later one of the kids will chew on

Spring time

Its spring time and we are busy. Playing outside, enjoying little adventures with friends, Easter and family celebrations. SO, I will just sprinkle you with pictures!!!

Things around my house

* Two kids is harder than ONE....some people think not I think so! Ecspeically at the ages mine are. It isn't a lot harder at home, actually we are just fine at home and at other peoples houses...but I am soooo used to just picking up and going and I can't do that anymore. I am used to going to church at different times than my husband, NOT with both kids. Target, the grocery store, etc I can't pick up and go like I used to. It will get easier...but its for sure different.

* Saylor is loving her preschool. The teachers are sooo good to her. She is sleeping...wait for this...11-12 hours straight a NIGHT!!! OMG, I probably just jinxed it but for the past week she has slept 11-12 hours a night straight.

* Both my kids have thrown up or spit up some of their milk. Saylor is doing the same so I am weighing her bottles down with lots of good ol' rice. She loves it, it satisfies her and this is probably why she sleeps soooo long at night

* Sometimes you change 8-12 dirty diapers a day. I feel like its my job and I should be making money for this

* I barely make dinner for my family. I hate to say it but lately its eat what you can find or something frozen. After work I want to play with my kids outside and then before I know it its time for bath and bed. Last night, Tucker wanted a cold hotdog...thats what he got. :(

* Sometimes when you are married to a GREAT man like mine (but that works to hard and too long) ( I know some of your girls reading this will understand b/c I swear our men all drink the same water and are the same person) you are a single mother a lot!!!!  I can't stress  A LOT enough, and summer only gets worse with being alone. I look forward to summer, but then again I see my husband more in winter months. Dont' get me wrong, he tries to help a lot, he just isnt home as much as we would like him to be :(

* I couldn't ask for a better big brother than Tucker!! He is wonderful but lately he has learned how to throw screaming fits? Terrible twos I believe

* We are also trying to potty train Tucker, he does great at school but I forget to take him.

Catching up

* Surprising enough, getting back into the work force hasn't been horrible like I thought. I enjoy my adult time but I miss both my babies like crazy.  Although my nights are hectic...super, baths, sleep routines and then I am exhausted!!!!!!!!!
* Saylor-Kate has been sleeping GREAT. Its usually 6-9 hours at a time and most of the time its 8 hours straight. Only on rare occasions is it 6 hours.
* Saylor is cooing, and smiling and watching every move we make. She follows are voices and LOVES to watch Tucker play. She hold her head up very well so she spends a lot of time in her bumboo chair
*Tucker is potty training. Daycare started it and he does great with them and just ok with me. I am often pretty busy and forget to ask him if he needs to potty???
*Its funny how life changes, but now on the weekends all we want to do is stay home and have NO plans. Everyone is tired and just wants to spend time together as a family :)
* Easter is coming up....I am trying to gather outfits for everyone now. I have always gotten excited about Easter outfits and such and having a boy and a girl to dress just adds to the fun. I just received Saylor's personalized Easter Basket that matched Tucker's the other day too....now to feel them with Reece's eggs. OMG, those are GREAT!
*Speaking of Easter, we have had amazing weather and we are outside all the time. So you can imagine how dusty my house since we are NEVER in it. Or how little I am making dinner these days .
* I am thinking of vacations...I can't believe its already time for little family get a ways.
* Saylor-Kate starts going to the daycare Tucker attends tomorrow. My mom has had her thus far, but honestly its a lot of commuting and as much as she LOVES kids (and she is the only baby in the baby class) she will love it there. They will help with a good schedule and they really are like family.
*Pintrest....that's ALL I seem to do lately. And it makes me want to buy things so I need to STOP!
