Have you ever had one of those weeks, that you would just like to fast forward? We have been having one of those lately. Here is a little of what we have been doing.
* Logan decided to get crayons out during 'quite time' and color all over his wall.
* I got a call first thing yesterday morning from my OB doctor saying I failed my glucose test, and I now have to take the three hour test. Happy birthday to me. I honestly think I will go crazy sitting in a doctor's office for three hours straight by myself. It almost drove me crazy when I had to do it for one hour. Part of me if thinking I should take the kids, just for the simple fact that I would have company.
* We told Logan to wash his hands, and for some reason he decided to use half a bottle of hand soap. When I walked into the bathroom there were bubbles EVERYWHERE.
* Logan has been having major meltdowns again. I thought we were getting over this stage.
* Bella is starting to test her title of 'terrible two'. This consists of screaming when she doesn't get her way, throwing food, and an all around grumpy state.
* I found out Jeff is going to be gone this weekend. Nope not for camping, but for a work conference. Yuck!
* We had a play date set up for today, and they called this morning to cancel. That's such a bummer when that happens. Although it's probably good that they cancelled, because I'm sure I would have busted into tears.
* I'm missing Oregon terribly lately, and everyone there. I'll just blame it on the pregnancy hormones. We are SUPER excited for my sister's visit next week, and can't wait to meet our new nephew. Holding a new baby always helps but things into perspective.
* Finally, what's the deal with birthdays when you are a mom? Am I the only one that feels like this? Honestly it felt like any other day (scrubbing toilets, doing laundry, frozen dinner, screaming kids). People should worn you about that before you become a mom, so you can get you fill of birthday festivities before hand. I do have to give my husband props for taking me to the temple last night. It was good to have something to do, and get out of the house at least for a little while. I did get some beautiful flowers from my family back in Oregon, and lots of messages of love. Thank you everyone for thinking of me.
Those are just a few of things that I can think of at the moment. I'm sure eventually I will look back on these things and laugh (just not right now. :) Although in reality if these are my major strives in life I'm doing pretty well, and shouldn't be complaining. I just read a fantastic book called Left To Tell. It's an excellent book, and reminded me of how blessed and fortunate I am.

OKAY, glad it's not just my kids! What is up with them??? I think they've officially turned against us. If you do need a play date, call us! We're here! Then again it might just be another opportunity for our kids to get together to plot their next attack against us. Ha ha! Well happy birthday anyway - last mother's day was like that for me - practically the worst day of my life. Happy "MOTHERS" day is right!
Those are some beautiful flowers you got. :) And yes, the whining screaming fits continue well into the 4s. V will be 5 in 3 weeks and STILL does it. Gah.
As for birthdays, they do get a lot less fun when the kids are little. And then when they really GET birthdays, it becomes a little more fun again. I've just accepted that my birthday and mother's day is just the same old day and it's not as bad.
Sorry about the glucose test! I also failed mine and took the 3 hour one twice. It sucked. I think the first time I addressed my Christmas cards and the next time I read a book and took a nap. I wouldn't take your kids with you because by the end, you're really struggling to keep yourself from going crazy! I can't imagine what it would be like with 2. Good luck and call me if you need something!
Don't worry as soon as I get out there we will have so much to do you will be glad to get rid of me just so you can get some sleep :)
Oh Shauna, we should talk more often! I definitely had one of those weeks also. Lona has been screaming SO much lately! If someone has something she wants, if she's stuck, bla bla bla, screaming! It's horrible. Plus I was sick a lot, that makes the days long and hard. And although Lylee is getting better, she was going through a really mean phase. I blame it on me being sick and barking orders at her. But she was just mean to people and our playdate was sick so we were bummed about that. Thankfully no 3 hour dr. appointment. Did you do it yet? You don't have pregnant diabetes do you? That would be such a bummer. And yes, birthdays are sadly so lame with kids! :) I always act like it's no big deal but when the day comes I'm bummed that it's just any other day and no one cares. :) Hope next week is better! :)
I forgot to mention more of our similarities! :) I can relate to the washing hands situation. Lylee will wash her hands after she goes to the bathroom and if we're not paying attention she'll be in there for 10 minutes atleast... washing her hair in the sink, her feet, the mirror... so messy! So we have to check in on her right after she goes or she makes a big mess! :)
Also, not really feeling better. The mornings are getting better but the nights for some reason are really hard. I get really sick at night which Jeremy just loves. :) And we get an ultrasound next week when I' 14 weeks. We were supposed to get it at 12 but had insurance issues. We got a sneak peak that Lylee was a girl at 14 weeks so I'm really hoping! :) But otherwise our 20 week appointment will be early June... too far away! :) I'm dying to know what we're having!
