101 reasons why I am going to be bald...

So I don't think I'm actually going to be said "bald", but by the end of the 

day I sure do feel like tearing every little hair out of my head.

Good look for me? I think not.

Being a stay at home mom is driving me crazy!

I swear I am like 10 people all rolled up in one.

Chef {I wish! but check anyway}

You get my point right? I feel like I am the only one that does anything around here all with a baby on my hip. I say baby but sheesh my "baby" who is really a toddler is almost 30 pounds and as tall as a teenager! {OK a little much}.

He wants his mommy 24/7 and I get that  because I am a awesome mom but 

It makes for a really long day. My mornings that used to be like 

THIS

are now a little different. No more sitting on the 

floor playing for hours because he can now climb. So I switch couches just 

trying to keep him from getting hurt.
He's like a mountain goat all he wants to do is climb.

I have taken all my dining room chairs and put them into the kitchen so he wont get on them 

and there is not one thing on one table that he can swipe off.

....Some times I think to my self... and if I'm really over it I will tell Jason, That this Momma is ready to go back to a real job. One that pays me, one that at the end of the day I won't be so stressed out that I would like to rip the hair right out of my scalp. 

Then I think about paying for day care and some one else watching MY "baby" and think I'm not sure if I am ready for all that. 

Please dear God let this next year be a little bit easier!

I have said it like a million times. This time im not kidding. 

From the moment I became pregger's with Bradley I told my self I would work out and loose

the baby fat. Well I did, for a few weeks here and there. Then something would get in the way. I never have been back to the size I was prebaby. 

I got on the scale at the grocery store yesterday and got a little down on myself. I would be extremely happy if I could loose about 15 pounds. Everyday I get on Pinterest and that isn't really helping the sad feeling I get about my body. I am hoping to look at these pictures and get off my butt and do something about it!

What better day to start eating better and working out then on a Monday? So that's what I did.

I busted out the ol "Billy"s Boot Camp" DVDs that I bought off an infomercial after Bradley was born. I put Gauge down for his morning nap and got to it!!

I could hardly keep up! I am so out of shape! If I tell you guy's that I'm going to do something then I WILL do it. So I'm telling you now that I WILL do some sorta workout everyday.  I hope that if any one else that has been in a rut will join me and share what they are doing to get motivated. 

Last week in photos

I know I know I'm a little late doing this but better late then never right?

Last Sunday I took off to the beach with my sister that lives in Cali.

You can read more about it here

Monday

Mondays are usually my lazy days... take care of my house

that has been left behind from the weekend. Do some laundry, you know 

all that fun stuff!

{there's that shirt again!}

Tuesday

Bradley had his award program at his school for the first

9 weeks

He got the reading award for his class! {Proud momma!}

Wednesday

I met up with my mom and aunt for some Subway 

and play time for G-Man at the park.

also had someone to take WIWW pic's. yey me!

It also caught me a little off guard when Brad wanted me to 

push them around the grocery store in the big buggy

Holy-moly I have 2 kids! haha

Thursday

I'm not real sure what happened to this day. But I hold this cutie everyday

at nap time.

Friday

My husband went out of town for a few days so I filled in for him at work 

and went back to doing drywall and a little bit of framing

for the day. That was the first time I put on my working shoes and 

really worked in over a year! 

{and YES I look like poo at work!!!}

And the long awaited movie Breaking Dawn came out!!!!! The theater I went to
had a wedding reception in the street with wedding cake and all to celebrate

{I really wish that Jacob look-a-like didn't turn out blurry}
By the way...LOVED the movie!

Saturday

Well since I worked Friday and my husband was out of town and couldn't tell me "No", I went to Target and spent my paycheck on some fun 

items to spruce up my pathetic closet.

I really should have taken more pic's on Saturday. All in all it was 

a great week. 

I'm looking forward to a lot going on this week with filling in for my hub's

again tomorrow and Thanksgiving Thursday. 

I hope you come back next week!!

A little fun on Sunday

Today was one of those kinda days where we didn't really have anything to do. My hubby is usually the one that finds things to do on the weekend and we go do them. Well with him out of town since Friday we ended up taking two trips to the park. I let Brad pick the park and to my surprise he didn't want to go to the really big playground that's like way across town. He simply picked the very small one close to the house. (Happy Dance)

I don't think that I have really takin' in the fact that Gauge is like seriously walking. 

I know that he is walking, but why the heck have I been carrying him every where???????

This was the first time I have been to the park and put him down! And the fact that I could sit down and watch him explore everything was pretty sweet. I thought for sure he would be eat a lot more mulch then he actually did. He was just happy walking around and watching his brother play.

What a great day spent with my babies. I'm a lucky momma.

How was your weekend??

Crazy Mornings

Mornings in my house get a little bit crazy. I wake up every morning to Gauge crying down the hall at exactly 6:30 a.m.. And I'm like "Does he have a hidden alarm clock in there I don't know about?"

So I shuffle my way to his room, search for the binky he threw across the room, then pick up binky and him and head down stairs to get coffeeeeeeeeee.

Then I'm like "I have a coffee pot that will make coffee automatically, why don't I set it?"

It's seriously to early to wonder why I do the things I do so I just go ahead and make it.

Then I make little man a warm sippy cup of milk, change him, then drag myself back up the stairs to wake up hubby for work and Brad to school.

Brad thinks he has all the time in the world to eat his breakfast so I'm usually repeating my self till we leave. "Brad eat your breakfast" "Bradley, really dude! Eat your breakfast" "Brad, we are leaving in 5 minutes. Hurry up and eat!"

This is about the time I start thinking,

I should really get up earlier and drink that coffee before I wake everyone else up so I will not be so cranky.

Then I kiss the husband goodbye so he can get off to work, take Bradley to school, then come home to make the baby breakfast and enjoy playing with him.

I have from 8:00-9:15 to lay on the floor in my jammies with Gauge before he wants to take a nap.

So we play, play, and play some more.

It's really a great time. I love to teach him things.

He knows when I say "Where is your belly" he will lift up his shirt! I love it!

I love that he will stick his tongue out now.

I love when I put the blanket over my head he jumps on me and makes the cutest squeal.

I love how he thinks it is funny to stick his binky in my mouth only to take it right back.

Everyone of these mornings are to be cherished. I have learned with Bradley that they grow up to fast. One day my babies will be all grown and I will look back from my rocking chair and think "where did the time go, I wish I had more of those crazy mornings".

Kids

This is Bradley

He is my first born. He is 7 and 1/2. He loves anything he can ride on that has a motor, playing baseball, and is the best big brother a momma could ask for.

Next meet my other baby Gauge.

This little boy just turned one. He loves his Binky and likes to crawl on everything.

So these are my kids. What more could this momma ask for? Whats that you say? A girl? Yeah, that could happen..... one day. For now I have my hands full taking care of these guys and I couldn't be happier.

I'm glad you came by.
