Amazement and craziness
So I watched AM sneak behind the dining room table to the window that faces the trees between us and the neighbors. She stands there with her little hands gripping the windowsill and her chin propped up and watches as the wind blows the trees around like crazy. I watch her and wonder what she's thinking. She finally says mama and comes back over to me. In the next 10 minutes as I think about getting on here, she does about 5 things that she's not supposed to and drives me crazy. Then as I start to write, she hears the wind pick up and off she goes to her little window spot again and watches the trees for a minute. It just makes me smile even if I was ready to scream a few minutes before. Ahhh, the rollercoaster of motherhood :)

Indecisive
The title is because that sums me up lately. Two weeks ago I stood in the toy aisle at Target to try and pick out a new toy for AM for 20 minutes. Then Sat my mom and I are at J&J trying to pick out some clothes for TC...stood their for a looong time watching her chase AM around and me staring at 2 different pairs of swim trunks...trying to decide. Anyway, I couldn't decide on a good title for my post, so I am going with what I am :)
Sometimes I feel like a servant, or maid, or waitress or what are those ladies called from the super olden days that would do everything for the girls of the house, like tie their corsets and brush their hair and stuff? Anyway, I find myself feeling like that person as a mom. I sit AM on the couch (in front of sesame street is the only way to do this), to cut her fingernails, toenails, put her hair in piggies. I "serve" her breakfast, lunch, and dinner at her little booster seat at the table. I mean it's fine of course since I am her mom and she is only 1 1/2 and can't obviously do those things herself, I just feel like an 1800's servant. However, if she's like 15 and you find me on the floor cutting her toenails as she watches MTV or something...we're gonna have a problem! :)
Our downstairs is so beautiful! C just has some trim to paint and then we can clean up and he'll put together our furniture and move on down....hopefully mostly this weekend. I am so excited! And it looks so great! Good job honey! We're almost there :) Ahhhh.

Do you hear what I hear?
So watching the news this evening about all the Sonics news reminds me of a conversation C and I had the other morning.
Scene: it's 6am and we're watching the news and it's about the Sonics of course.
I say "I am really getting sick of all this, I'm done listening to the same stuff over and over again about the Sonics"
C decides for some reason this is an invitation to then talk about the Sonics situation for 10 minutes.
Did I not just say I'm sick of hearing about it? How does that mean let's talk about it for 10 minutes?
Hmmm, and they say husbands don't listen :)

A Much Better Day
So I feel 100 times better than yesterday. I woke up much better, I woke up optomistic and happy.
No tears today!
I also decided that I needed to start going through some baby things. With AM, her room was already done for a long time by now. All her stuff washed, put away, waiting for her. Our little TC, well...things are different! His room is not ready because he's at the bottom of the room change :) I did start a list of things I still need to get for him, and after my shower with family this Sunday, I'll have to update with whatever else I need. But the stuff of his I had in AM's closet I got washed and put in one of her drawers (his future drawer) after I cleared out some of her things. I'm getting organized slowly, but that will at least get me somewhat ready for the rest of his stuff I get this weekend and that I have stored in the attic.
We will be moving into our room next week! And then we will work on AM's room. I am very excited to get her into her cute toddler room...she is so adorable. We had lots of fun playing tonight, I was trying to wear her out since she took a long nap today (because I kinda fell asleep too :)
I am happy tomorrow is Friday...it's not quite like working in an office and getting a weekend, it's more like getting really excited to talk to and hang out with adults for a couple days :)

Insanity?
I couldn't think of a better title. By 4pm, I am going crazy. I am looking online for a way to post an ad for our dog Raven or wishing I had the guts to let her out, not back in again and hope she runs away. I am dreaming of a five minute moment of silence from the tile saw and "mama" "mama" "mama" "uppy" "uppy" "uppy". Maybe a glass of wine, a sunny day, not being super pregnant. And then C gets home and has to work downstairs because he had to work late at regular work last night and couldn't get everything done for the carpet guy who is coming soon. It breaks my heart that AM says hi to him and then he leaves her again when all she wants to do is have her dada pick her up and play with her. I am thankful she has me all day, but sad she doesn't have him more. So my insanity turns to sadness. I am then thankful I have such an adorable sweet girl, until she drives me crazy again the next minute :)
I think I am done being pregnant. I am hoping my craziness exits after my hormones are back to normal. I cry too much. I think the frustration of the remodel, or more like the frustration it gives C from all the stress then rubs off onto me since I feel he's being mean or insensitive and then I feel like a single parent half the time (which if that was real, ugh! never something I would want to experience, for those who are, more power to ya). I just need a break or a vacation...neither of which are going to happen. But hopefully once our downstairs is done, I can have a few moments of retreat before the next one comes to add to my chaos :) Loving chaos of course.
So once my sanity returns I hope to love my life and my dog....but if not, I have a black lab who is adorable, great with kids, and might need a farm because she is....um, how would I put it...energetic :) Or if you know where I can buy dog valium?

As for MB's thoughts on kids and sex stuff. I think it will depend on how they ask questions as to how I go about talking to them, but I do know I want to be open with them. I feel the more communication, the better educated they will be and I will be happy that they know they can talk to me about it. I think they need to know the real names for things otherwise I have a vision of AM in college talking like the waterboy "momma says I have a hoohoo". Haha, sorry, funny picture of AM like Adam Sandler in my head! Anyway, AM still sees me naked, unfortunately I do not like my body and I still get self conscious in front of my toddler. However, it will stop when she stops needing me all the time (ahhh to pee alone again...I can only imagine!). As for the boy, I am thinking things will be a little different. AM does not see C naked, I'm sure the boy will see him more than he would see me. Anyway, I just hope for an open communication between us and our kids. That way I can be confident they will come to us, not be ashamed, and hopefully grow into confident and educated adults and be smart about their bodies and their selves and their lives as a whole.

umm
Crazy side note considering he's like 10 yrs younger or something, but Chris Brown is hot. I just watched him sing w/Jordin Sparks, which is weird considering he's been huge for a long time and she's new to it all. Anyway, that's another tangent I could go on. He's cute though. And I must say if she has a boyfriend, he might have a reason to be a little jealous b/c they might do it. haha! Okay, I think the ice cream is going to my head, I gotta go to sleep.
Forgot!
So I forgot to say I met the two little rascals last week! AM and I went to the hospital last Friday and I held each of the twins. AM gave lots of kisses and jumped around the hospital room like a monkey. Shea (I mispelled before as Shay) is smaller and her face was more smooth. Chase was more wrinkled and looked like a little old man :) They were adorable! Chad said they have already picked their favorites, a daddy's girl and momma's boy. So cute. Anyway, it was fun meeting them! I look forward to many fun years as auntie!
Idol gives back...why is everyone obsessed with Miley Cyrus? I don't think she's all that wonderful. If I was Heart, I'd be jealous that skinny little fergie was doing flips on my stage in her leather spandex. I liked the sound lady who got to touch Brad Pitt :) Oh and Teri Hatcher...that was like watching karaoke except worse because I was sober.
I also forgot to mention how weird our week was. C worked a strange schedule, 7pm-4am Tues night thru tonight. It was strange getting used to, but actually not too bad once we did. We got to have lunches together instead of dinner and he did get to spend some fun time with AM and I. And the time we spent together was all awake, unlike normal where we sleep all night and that's a lot of the time we spend together. Although we were asleep together when he gets home at 4:30, then I have been getting up at 8 (which is way better than the 5:30 I get up when he works normal! And AM also usually gets up earlier, but for some reason has been sleeping this week til 8 too!) He then sleeps in until 10:30 or 11 but from then til he has to go back, it was fun. And he did get some work done downstairs too though. Tomorrow will be nice b/c once he wakes up in the morning, he'll be done for the week and we have a few errands to run, for the downstairs of course :)
Ugh, I ate a bunch of ice cream earlier and I feel sick now. Time for bed.

Blog slacker
So I used to get disappointed when I got on here and went to read other people's blogs and they hadn't posted anything in so long. Now that is me. I find that since AM is no longer with the little guy...it is up to me to play constantly :) Or I need to do housework when I do get a chance and she's playing by herself or whatever. So I am now a slacker. Anyway, funny conversation she and I had today...in just the few words she says, but I can actually have a conversation by her motions, facial expressions, and words. So, I come out from getting dressed this morning and I had just looked in the mirror and saw how big my belly was looking. She runs up to me and touches my stomach with both pointer fingers and says Baby! I laugh and ask if my belly is getting bigger and she says Yeah. Then she puts her head on it and then pats my belly. I said he's coming soon, she says Yeah and pulls up my shirt to see if he's there. It's just funny that she initiated the conversation since usually it's someone who asks her about the baby before she acknowledges my stomach. Very cute...I just love being with her and watching these moments...she's so smart and she makes me laugh and smile. Such a sweet girl and she's going to be a great big sister!
Completely different thought, I usually really like David Cook on American Idol but not last night...I didn't enjoy him at all.

Welcome babies!
So yesterday my twin niece and nephew were born! Chase Harris came at 3:00am, weighing a whopping 7lbs 5oz! And Shay Lynn came at 3:02am weighing over 6lbs. The dr was a little surprised at twins so big! So congrats to my bil and sil and new big sister Kate. AM is excited to go to the hospital to meet her new cousins, but we are giving mommy and daddy some time to rest before we head over...probably tomorrow morning.
Today I will be picking out carpet for downstairs...it's getting closer! Can't wait to move! The whole house will seem different. And I just realized that it is April...which means I am having a baby next month. That scares me! Next month!? It was so far away, and now it's getting so close! Soon I'll be saying a few weeks, and then a few days....!
Anyway, AM and I are finally getting over our sickness! However now C has it. Fun.
