Wordless Wednesday: My Precious Niece Serenity

So this blog, it doesn't just write itself?

Well no wonder it's so dead around here!

 I thought for sure that it would get tired of being deserted and write itself. Looks like I better get a handle on THE CRAZY that is my life or y'all may up and leave me! 

First of all, my sister and her baby has moved in with us for a bit...so getting them settled in has been hectic.  

Secondly, STOMACH BUG '09 has hit our house and has already taken down two victims.  We are alert and waiting to see who will be next! 

 Let's just not hope it's me because I have way to much on my hands, I don't need to be hugging the porcelain throne.

Works for Me Wednesday: Bounce Dryer Bar

I can't say enough good things about the new Bounce Dryer Bar.   
The one thing that I'm always forgetting to do is put Fabric Softener in either the washer or dryer. And do you know what that results in here in Alabama? MAJOR Static!! 

So, when I heard about the new Bounce Dryer Bar, I thought I'd give it a whirl.  

While at Target the next day I picked one up, going with the two month bar to test it out before I bought the big one.  


When I got to the checkout counter, the lady said she loved hers, but it didn't last as long as it said. Apparently, she washes a lot of laundry. Because I have had mine for over a month and it's still got half the bar left.


My favorite part is that it smells HEAVENLY!  

And the best part about it? 

It stays stuck to the inside of my dryer and I never have to worry about forgetting the fabric softener. AND, I never have to worry about those freakin' dryer sheets that are forever getting strewn about the house.

Wordless Wednesday: My Pretty Girl

It should be illegal to have kids this cute!

Turns out that this Mommy-ing thing, it's not for the faint of heart!

I don't do well with disappointing my kids.  

To be perfectly honest, I don't do well with not being able to give my kids everything they want at all.  

You see, I have a classic case of "I didn't have a whole lot so I want my kids to have the world!"

 Unfortunately, with two school aged kids, I sometimes have to disappoint them. 

Why you ask? Well, because it's just not possible for me to be at two parties at once. I try my best to divide myself equally between them, but sometimes it just so happens that one has more going on than the other. And truthfully, I doubt they notice it as much as I do, but it still bothers me.

 It seems like for the past few weeks I've been running around like crazy for Zach and his class. Last week was his Birthday Extravaganza and in between all of that, I was having to help his teacher (I go once a week to run copies, etc for her) and finish our part of the Fall Festival (I'm the room mom).  So naturally, I have felt like this week I needed to put a little more attention on Reagan, and I thought today would be the perfect day to do so.  You see, they are having the Fall Festival today and I had planned to come and hang out with her. In fact, we talked about nothing but that the whole time we were in carpool.

 And then, disaster struck. Apparently a few things have changed and they are going to be doing it all day, with breaks in between. So instead of having the usual 2 hours of time where I could come hang out with her, it was going to be divided up, making it almost impossible for me to do so.  

Y'all, when I found that out it just broke my heart. That sweet little angel thinks that Mommy is going to come hang out with her at her school and she will soon find out that that isn't so. And you know what, I'm not sure my heart can take that.

 Hopefully, she won't be too upset about it and I'll make it up to her by spending the rest of the day before we get Zach at school pampering her.

 What I want to know is, how do you moms with more than one kid do it?
