I'm bored

I got nothin’. Seriously, I haven’t posted anything in over a week and it’s cause I GOT NOTHIN! So I thought I’d make myself come up with something.

So why is it that there’s a couple of REALLY good days where my kids behave and are so adorable and everything goes smoothly. And then there are days like yesterday and today where they drive me CRAZY. What changes? They’re not sick, they even slept in today. I guess they’re like me. Some days I’m fine and other days every little thing gets on my nerves. Maybe we just feed off each other.

Okay, and WHY is it that when I had Jenna sleep in underwear at night she’d wake up wet in the middle of the night, but now that I’ve had her in pull-ups she gets me up a couple times at night to go potty and wakes up in the morning with her pull-ups completely DRY! I want to say, and I think I have in the middle of the night, “JENNA just go in your pull-ups that’s WHY you WEAR THEM!” Isn’t that awful, cause I really should be proud.

I’m definitely getting tired again, where I need a nap every day. Jenna doesn’t wake up any earlier and yet she has a harder time getting me up in the morning. I’m like the lazy teenager. “Come ON mommy!” “But I’m TIRED!!!!!” Now every night when I put her to bed and she says, “I wake you up in the morning” she’s been adding, “And don’t get mad at me.”

Carter’s definitely talking a lot more, except I don’t know what he has against learning. Every time I try to TEACH him oh like, the ABC’s, numbers, colors, shapes, all the things Jenna knew when she was his age (it’s hard not to compare), he immediately says, “NO no no” and acts completely annoyed. Well FINE, I tried. Um. He is really good at puzzles. Like, almost better than Jenna. That’s something right. Also he has NEVER pooped in the tub. By this time Jenna had a few times. So. Good for him.

Okay. This is the end of my post. OH except I just realized it is the 10-year anniversary of my oma’s death. Wow, 10 years. In our last conversation I told her I just got my driver’s license, and she asked if I had a boyfriend. I laughed and said no. Then she said, “I love you all.” I just want to say that I miss you, oma, and I love you.

Opa, oma, me.

I miss my mommy too! Ten Years does go by very quickly. I can't believe that for ten years now I haven't been able to pick up the phone and call her. For those of you who still have your mommy. Call her once in awhile because one day you won't be able too and it is sad. I even love your blogs when you are bored!

AAHHH...Thanks for that. 10 years has gone fast! I am going to blog about that now. Thanks for the reminder. Trust me the crazy days will get less and less as they get bigger and bigger. That is why my blog has gotten boring cause they are behaving better.

Boys are SOOO different from girls. I remember feeling like Emery was so behind because my friends little girls were talking, and knew colors and numbers, etc... He will get there though. I didn't notice Emery having any interest in anything educational until about 3. He must have picked it up somewhere though because he is not behind any of the other kids in preschool. I think they are just to busy to sit and learn like girls do!
