Chronic Mommy

So I have come to realize, well, I would have to say admit, moms don't have just long days, they have chronic days-NEVER ENDING. My life right now is pretty much a blur. With a 2 year old, a 6 month old, and a husband, I feel like I never stop. Take today for example- Tomorrow doesn't start til 6:00 AM for me, because I'm still going until then. Last night I didn't go to sleep until 3:00 AM. Call it insomnia, I call it "mommy brain". My mind keeps going and going like the energizer bunny.
"Do we have enough diapers to last until next payday? Does Hubby have clean work clothes? Did I take the garbage cans out?"

Then I hear a cry of "MAMA!!! WHaaaaaa" Yes. Big Brother is awake. So I get him out of bed, we watch a little bit of Yo Gabba Gabba....yay. Just what I need. (yes, that is sarcasam)
Put Big Brother back in bed.

What time is it? Who frickin cares. I have no time schedule really.Same with days, they are all the same.
I awaken to my hubby jumping out of bed, like the house is on fire. He states "OH! I just love it when the alarm doesn't go off! ughhhhhhhh I'm gonna be late for work. Did you know what time it was???"

-Really another task for me? And yes, I stay awake 24/7. I was just laying here in bed planning today and  to make sure you make it to work on time, and just in case a kid poops, and to help you find socks.

I close my eyes, pretending to be asleep, thinking "You are a big boy. You can do it." In as much of a loving way as possible. Ahhh peace and quite.

Brothers both awake.

Feeding kids, changing kids, doing laundry, dishes, cleaning.

Hubby comes home. It looks like a tornado went through our house. And the hubby says "What did you do all day?" I roll my eyes.

Make dinner, feed children-yes all 3 :) change them, get them ready for bed. Put older brother to bed.

Get a BBM from a friend. Want to get out of the house, get a bite to eat?"

Tell hubby, I'm leaving, be back in a bit. Run out of the house like a bomb is just about to explode.

Get a text during dinner from hubby. " I didn't know it took this long to eat"

Go home.

Both brothers are awake.

Put brothers back to bed.

Pick up toys, start dishwasher, etc etc etc...........

Get online to blog.... now it's just about 2:00 AM......

Tomorrow, another round. I'm down and out, can't throw in the towel.....

Cupboard Door UpCycle

This is a craft I found over at UCREATE, HERE. All I did was spray paint the old cupboard door, use an ink pad to distress the edges, added the same clips as the link, and added some felt rose buds. I sure hope Grammy enjoy's this! If you would like a tutorial on how to make the roses, leave a comment, and I'll be happy to create one.

ABC's

Big Brother loves counting and his ABC's. Even though he can't really sing or say the ABC's, and just knows a couple of the letters, which is still great. I saw this idea on How Does She, I found it here.I have been trying to decorate the boys' room in robot, since it is little boy like, bright bold colors, and hopefully will last awhile and wont grow out of it. I can always switch the robot stuff with cars,airplanes, monsters, super hero's, whatever they are into in a couple of years. I made my abc's a little different. I just screwed them into the wall, because I am no measure ( if that is a word-apparently not, it has a squiggly red line under it!) The screws added to the robot feel. I could paint the screws black, but I actually like them. I started hanging these up one night myself. I got the A and the B up, but My handy man, Hubby could here me yelling. I get putting tiny holes in the wall. Big Brother then picked up "Gosh Dang it!" or "Dang it!". The Hubby came in to rescue me, and finish hanging them up. Thanks hun! The boys' room is coming along very slowly, but getting there. I am getting excited about how it is looking, and so is Big Brother. He can now look at the "E HE A's" now anytime he wants. (usually when he is going to bed, we can hear him singing "E HE A's, E HE A's"
The Direction to make these (I did the same measurements and modge poge technique as How Does She), are at howdoesshe.com.
