lately...

Things have been pretty crazy at our house... between cars being on the fritz, computers on the fritz and everything else that goes along with being a mommy, I haven't had a minute to update the trusty old blog.
First thing I want to share is a priceless conversation I had with little Jaker:
Jaker: Mom, can I have some Chocolate Milk Please?
Mom: Sure Jaker, Just a minute.
Jaker: Can I have some right now Please?
Mom: Here you go!
Jaker: Thanks Mom.
Mom: Who's the best Mommy in the whole world???
Jaker: Gramma!!!

At least he is honest!

I had a fantastic opportunity to run in the Race for the Cure last weekend. As always it was extremely touching! I love that race. It is worth every minute!
Jaker is doing good in Swimming. He loves it! He is very close to passing Tots II. Jokester is full of energy and keeping me on my toes! He has recently learned how to roll his eyes... he does it alot. As much as it makes me laugh, I hope it is just a phase... not a good thing to do to people!

Wah Wah WAH!!!!

Okay... it's 10:30 at night, and I have to vent! Honestly, I think the kids are gonna drive me to DRINK! What is up with all the whining??? It's as if one is doing it, the other has to too! If one is upset the other is upset too, just to compete with the other! What is the deal???? I am ready to be committed!!!
Tonight we went to Lowe's. I really wanted some new plants for my sad planter in front of my house. I was going to do the trip to Lowes with the kids all alone, but luckily Turtle got out of EQ early, and so he joined us. I kid you not, the boys were so whiney when they were together... separated they are fine, but together, oh Heaven HELP ME! Luckily Turtle took one and I took the other and we went our separate ways...but once we met up at the end, it was really time to go! After the excursion to Lowes I got a frosty. Really, is it too much to ask to have a frosty all to myself??? Do I really have to share the one treat I get in a week? I was so frustrated. The whole way home all we heard was... "I want some. Mom, can I have some?, I really really want some mom! I wanna bite, want some mommy..." The WHOLE way home! Never mind the fact that they had their own icecream earlier! Am I a bad mom, because I don't always want to share? I have to share my soda with them, my Crystal Light, if I have anything... they get some too! Sometimes, I feel guilty because I DON'T WANNA SHARE!
There, I got that off my chest! WHEW!
