Back by popular demand!

So much for my goal to update this blog at least once a week! I promise I'll get better after this weekend (and my diet starts Monday, too)! haha

Lots of things that I should have been talking about on here though!

Let's start with Isaac... he DID give up his pacifier! He's asked for a handful of times in the last few weeks. We've just told him, "sorry, you threw it away" and he seems to accept that! YEAH! Bedtime hasn't been quite as easy, but it's getting better each day! It was almost like it really took a couple weeks for it to set in. He started fighting bedtime and crying... Andrew said it was the fight we should have had two weeks before that. But, he's getting better, the last couple of nights have been perfect!

Potty training isn't going quite as well. He sits on the silly thing, but so far hasn't had much luck! Hopefully once I'm off work we can really work on it a little more!

Friday is my last day!!!!!! I'm so excited! I've got a few other things up my sleeve to bring in a little extra cash too!

So there's a little window in to our world! I really do intend to post more often now that I should have a little more time. You know, in between diaper changes, feedings, breaking up fights, laundry, and cleaning!

Oh what a night!

How is it possible that all in the same night one kid pees on the floor and the other kid poops on the floor!?!?

Once again it was like watching an episode of "This Is Your Life". The announcer says "You spent your evening watching two toddlers smear pizza sauce in their ears and cleaning bodily functions off the floor. Vikki Gearhart - this is your life."

We all giggle and look around for this "Vikki Gearhart" person.

I stopped giggling when I realized I was "Vikki Gearhart" and also the person responsible for cleaning up the messes.

You Know You're A Mom When....

Have you ever driven somewhere and realized when you got there that you don't know how you got there? Like the car must have been on autopilot because you don't remember passing familiar landmarks or towns. Sometimes that's how I feel about my journey into motherhood too.

A few nights ago, as I sat at Red Lobster with Andrew, his parents, and of course the boys, I had one of these moments. Now, Red Lobster might not be a ritzy sort of restaurant to some people, but it's the closest thing that our little podunk town has to a fancy place to eat in a 50 mile radius. Our little table of 4 adults and 2 small children sat in the busy restaurant singing (relatively loudly) favorites like Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star, and the ABC's.

It was like someone had hit the fast-forward button on my life. It was kind of surreal. How did I end up singing kids songs in a place where we had spent many date nights and I had many margaritas with girlfriends?
