Mommy needs a Timeout

Are there rules for blogging? I have probably broken them. I have only blogged twice this month. I think my life gets in the way. With 3 kids, there is always something going on. Like this week for example...Tuesday, Ashlyn was diagnosed with asthma--which translates to 3 breathing treatments a day. And yesterday, Caroline sprained her wrist. Seriously?? I have to laugh, or I think I would crawl into a hole and not come out.

And of course, Reid is on a mission to make my furniture "trash worthy" before the summer. He drew on it with marker, used a water bottle to douse it, crumbled up Pop Tarts(that he retreived from the top of the pantry), and let's not forget the use of hand soap to make the water "bubbly".  This was all in ONE day. He looks at me with his ocean blue eyes and says,"Mommy, you mad?" It's a good thing he's cute, that's all I have to say...

I'm sure I will look back one day and miss the days of sticky floors, ruined furniture, and dirty diapers, but today; I'm scrubbing toilets...

Party Poopers and Pirates

Ok, sorry I have been slacker about posting. I have all these ideas floating in my head about what to write. So, pardon me if my thoughts are rambling!!

Dozer has decided that he wants to use the potty. Most moms would be so grateful for this milestone; but I on the other hand would rather wait a few more months.
I break out into cold sweats when it comes to potty training. Caroline was completely trained until baby sister arrived. She decided that it would be awesome to not poop on the potty until 4 years of age, yes, I said 4!! So, you see why I am a little hesitant to retire the diaper bag. I will keep you posted...

Enough potty talk. 

I went to Savannah this past weekend to see my 2 oldest and dearest friends. Marci's twins were turning one, and her daughter turned 3, so she had a joint party, and all of our kids were able to play together. This was such a nice reunion of sorts; but waaaaay too short.
We met at The Pirate's House for lunch, and our kids enjoyed the pirate garb while we dined on a traditional southern fried meal.


Those two girls women have been a part of my life since grade school. They are wonderful friends, daughters, wives, and mothers. I wouldn't trade their friendships for even one successful day at potty training.
