I hope that's chocolate on your leg....

Warning: this is a LOT to read lol

As a mom we find ourselves saying VERY weird things.....Things we never expected to say our whole life.For instance, "Please don't lick the cat" or "We swim in the bath tub not the toilet" or of course "I really hope that's chocolate all down your leg." I had a crunchy fail this morning......I fed my kid chocolate donuts. *eek!* I WAS TIRED! DON'T JUDGE ME!! Mom and I went to see Lady A at the Rodeo last night and I went to bed late. So yes, my daughter had disgusting junk food for breakfast (fyi I didn't buy them, Terri- the mom of the kiddos I watch- did, so blame her!!! She's always bringing gross, processed, non organic food in my house and making me feed it to her kids lol  i never use it...i just sneak it back home with her in the diaper bag) Anyway I got her down from her high chair and her chair, diaper, legs, hands, and face were all covered in something that APPEARED to be chocolate. Good news : the stuff on her face and hands WAS chocolate. Bad news: everything else was NOT......*sigh* That's the kind of morning I'm having over here.

On the plus side I totally forgot to mention I got a new car!!! 99 maroon ford expedition (WITH THIRD ROW SEATING!!!!! I'm like supermom, so I NEED that) BUT my husband stole it. His car broke down so he's using mine now, that was fun while it lasted. I decided to be nice and take the kiddos to the park the other day in Newport. (they have a nifty park made for 2-5 year olds!!!) Well I loaded the car seats, then the kids, then the diaper bag, then forgot the cups, went back for the cups, forgot my keys, went back for my keys, forgot to lock the door, went back and locked the door, forgot my wallet, went back for that and finally we left. I was half way there when i realize I also forgot my phone but was NOT turning around. It was almost 4 and I figured I would just use my friends phone when I got to the park to call DeWayne. I wasn't sure if he was working late and needed to know. Well when I got there my friend Traci (she's a Passion Diva too but I'm not gonna lie, we didn't really talk work lol We talked kids...) told me her phone was dead. Great. So we played for a while and around 6 we left. The kids passed out before I even made it home. I ran in to grab my phone first before unloading them because I wasn't sure if I was going to the grocery store with/without DeWayne. (I don't like going with 3 kids and not having him there lol I usually put Taryn in the carrier on my chest, Emma in the carrier on my back, and Kameron rides in the carrier on D's back) I had 30 missed calls from DeWayne. I freaked. Turns out his tranny went out (that means transmission Jenny, his car would no longer go when you pushed the peddle lol) So i drove over to Sheldon and towed him home. His dad was supposed to tow it to the shop yesterday but when I got home last night it was still in the driveway, idk why....

So judging by my random topics up there I'd say my ADD is in full swing this morning....sheesh where's my chamomile tea?.........

Guess who's TTC?!?!?! THIS GIRL RIGHT HERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
We've officially been trying for a month lol So lets see how this goes. I swear I won't be one of those weirdos that updates you on my ovulation schedule, when my period starts, and gross stuff like discharge (yuck!!!!) 

I think I've update you pretty much all of the way now. Since my wonderful hubby jacked my car I can't go grocery shopping (which makes me sad because I love love LOVEEE Whole Foods and will spend hours in there.....) So I guess I'll just improvise when my nutso little babies get here.

Oh I forgot to mention my crazy kids. Kameron-3yrs-psychotic(yes Jenny he is lol) and Taryn-1yr-dramatic brat (yes Jenny she is lol) Before I explain this just know that I love them to death, have sooo much fun with them, and wouldn't trade them for the world....ok back to the crazy

Let me explain why.....
I walked out of the bathroom (yes I had to go pee, WHAT was I thinking doing that?!?!) to over hear this convo
"Here Emma this cut you!!!" I panicked and ran into the kitchen like a mad woman to find Kam passing Emma a knife. Now for those of you saying "well you should have them put away" I do you idiot he manages to manhandle my drawers and break through child locks. Also for the "don't leave him alone" yeah okay I just won't pee all day long, or maybe I'll take a curious three year old into the restroom so he can see what I have going on down there. No i think not.....

As for my dramatic Tarebear....She has now mastered manipulating EVERYONE (including my husband) but me. She has a few tricks up her little sleeve but some of my favorites are:
She will shove her little hand into Emma's mouth and scratch at her tongue until she bites her. Then scream like a crazy person and cry to be held. No I will not hold you after you forced my daughter to bite you so she would get in trouble.(come on I'd bite someone for shoving their nasty hands in my mouth too)
Also, she will throw herself on the floor and begin to cry, then when I say "oh no what happened?" she responds by pointing at my daughter and screaming as if she pushed her........ She's out to get my daughter, I just know it.

Despite the fact that I love them with (almost) my whole entire heart, sometimes I wish they were less crazy and more lovey. Maybe I'm just used to Emma. She's a calm loving two year old. She listens when you ask her not to do something, she cuddles all day long, she doesn't hit, bite, scratch, scream, or cry unless provoked . She's not your average toddler and I'm convinced It's our parenting method. We've never let her cry, always held her, given her everything she's wanted/needed (with in reason of course lol) and never yelled or spanked (thats a nono in this house.) People keep saying "you're going to spoil her" or "Yeah just wait, the terrible twos are coming!"

We've heard them all
First it was "Wait til she learns to crawl!! She'll be everywhere!!" Well she wasn't
Then it was "Wait til she learns to walk!! She'll be into everything!!" Again she wasn't
Now it's "Wait til she turns two!!! She'll be awful" Well she turns two in May and unless she has a sudden personality change in the next 2 months (which I don't see happening) I think we'll be okay lol People are convinced that kids are SUPPOSED to act that way, but Emma doesn't. So she's walking proof that us "peaceful" or "attached" parents aren't nuts and our methods work!!!!!!!!!!

Anyway I'm starving and have lots of work to do, so I have to go.
I'm going to start signing off with a little crunchy tip for the day though.

Crunchy tip of the day:
Natural Herbs are a safer cheaper and more convenient way to treat and prevent everyday illnesses and even cancer!
So todays herb is :

Aloe Vera
Aloe vera's use can be traced back 6,000 years to early Egypt, where the plant was depicted on stone carvings. Known as the "plant of immortality," aloe was presented as a burial gift to deceased pharaohs.

Used for:
Healing wounds for various skin conditions
Orally as a laxative, for diabetes, asthma, epilepsy, and osteoarthritis.
Topically for osteoarthritis, burns, sunburns, and psoriasis
The FDA has approved aloe vera as a natural food flavoring (not that *I* care what THEY think, but some of you do lol)
