It's Hard To...

When I was pregnant with Theo, my Mom once said to me, "its going to be hard to take a shower, so you'll have to put him in his bouncer seat in the bathroom with you". I thought she was weird and laughed at her, I really thought she was just exaggerating.

This picture describes life very well. After having an infant and a 4year old for the last 6 months, realize that my Mom was telling the truth. Here is my top ten list of things that are hard to do while having young kids.

Top ten things that are hard to do with young kids

1. Sleep

2. Spend time alone

3. Shower/Get Dressed/Get ready for day

4. Go to the bathroom - pee or poop!

5. Eat/Cook

6. Spend married time - date/sex/converse w/my husband

7. Clean

8. Watch something I want to/Read

9. Talk on the phone

10. Exercise

*There's nothing like a good challenge in life, to help you appreciate things! Sorry Mom, I take it all back.

Rap Music is my Cigarette

Rap music is like my cigarette. I don't like to listen to rap around the kids but I love it. I sneak a hit when I'm by my self and love to listen to it to pump up.

The crude lyrics, bad morals & bad language are just some of the reasons why I won't listen to it around the kids. I've been flipping through the stations in the car when the kids are in there and will stop for a moment when I hear a rap song but then I feel a fart hits me in the face when I think about the kids in the back seat hearing the stench.

I feel like its my cigarette because I just have to sneak it every once in awhile but don't want my kids to know about it. I grew up listening to rap but also realize how dumb it can be. When I hear it I love it and laugh at it but I can't take too much of it. So every once in awhile, I just have to take a hit of it.

So what's your cigarette?

Family Picture

I found this picture in my desk drawer and remembered how funny it was. Jacob schetched it, I think the funniest part is how Victor is shorter then me, other then that I think it turned out really good.
