I am sitting here peacefully on the sofa writing this blog while hell breaks loose all around me. Today I have three 2 year olds who I think are having a contest to see which they can make happen first, destroy my house or destroy my sanity.

It's a close race.

I should be working on homework right now but Thomas the Train is so loud I can barely hear myself think. And it has to be loud to drown out their screams and shrieks. I have been sitting here trying to plan a menu for the little mental terrorists for today and tomorrow, and the only thing I can think of is chicken nuggets and tater tots.

I am very surprised that my Christmas tree has survived this far. Most other things in here have not. I'm looking so forward to cleaning up this mess, that should be great fun. I have realized that my child is either extremely advanced for her age or these other kids are extremely dumb!

Oh well, Dylan is trying to push Cambria in the stove, I should go stop that.......

The Princess and the Frog

Well today I had a moment of insanity and took two 2 year old girls to see Disney's The Princess and the Frog movie. (The movie theater experience was a first for both children.) First off, the girls did a great, and they enjoyed the movie. I did have enough sense to go to the first showing and since there were only a few people were there we were able to get good seats by the door (for a quick escape) and they had room to dance to the music.

I was actually impressed with the movie, it had a great story line and I think Disney did a really good job with making it toddler/preschooler appropriate, more so then when I was a kid. I know there has been a lot of talk over the movie considering this is the first African American Princess for Disney. I highly recommend this movie and I will be purchasing it when it comes out on DVD since Bella is already driving me crazy about it.

I've been a bad blogger.....

I have been, I know this, but that damn Twilight saga was too intriguing to put down. So I didn't, and now I'm somewhat sad because it's over. I swore to myself that I would not become wrapped up in the whole Twilight thing, but I am, and it's soo sad!

I did take a Twilight break to go help Bobbi put the finishing touches on her new crib, (yes I did just "say" crib...trying out the gangsta Kenzi...whadaya think??? Ya, I'm not feelin' it either.) And we had a lot of fun going through her stuff, it definitely worked to my advantage since I left her house with a huge trash sack full of clothes. Ahh, narrowly escaped shopping for myself yet again. Somewhere between pregnancy and the terrible two's I have lost all desire to buy clothes for myself. I feel as if I'm caught between a teenager and an adult style wise. I'm not ready to trade in low rise jeans for mom jeans, but the low rise are so uncomfortable anymore. And then I have the problem of being the assless wonder. It's hard to find ANY jeans that make my butt look good! Oh well, I'm a stay at home mom who needs real pants?? I can get away with wearing nothing but pajamas right?!?!

Another reason I haven't been blogging is because I've been somewhat in a rut. To be completely honest I have not wanted to do anything for about a month now. My house keeping is suffering, Bella is driving me crazy, and I have no desire to do anything. But I am happy to report I am pulling myself up by the boot straps (Ugg boot straps, found some at Marshall's for $30!!) I have identified my problem and I am now working on rectifying my laziness.

Bobbi has also turned me on to babywearing my toddler, and I regret not investing more time into finding slings when Bella was an infant. But she likes it now and so do it. Next time around I know better. Speaking of children, I am honestly curious why so many mothers have adversions to spanking? When spanking is done properly it's a useful tool, and there IS a difference between spanking and beating a child. I think if more people spanked their kids we would not have as many problems with society. People do not teach their children to behave and respect authority and that in turn produces adults who don't behave and respect authority. So parents, spank your kids!

Thursday's Thoughts

Yesterday my dear friend, Bobbi, and I went to lunch, shopping, and dinner with our beautiful children. I had a lot of fun and it appeared that Bobbi did too! Up until yesterday I have somewhat been stuck in a rut, but I am happy to say that getting out of the house and spending time with a good girlfriend has motivated me to make it until my vacation (22 days left)! And I must mention that our kids are adorable. I looked in the backseat and they were holding hands at 2 years old and 10 months! It was so sweet, they would randomly grasp hands throughout the day. They also kissed each other goodbye, hehe!

We did go to Ikea and let me just say I really love that store! It is so freaking cool! I did pick up a few things that I needed, such as my shelf. Ya let me tell you the story on that! A couple of weeks ago I bought a loft bed and had my wonderful love muffin put it up for me. Well when I bought the bed I never thought, "Hey when you are 6 feet in the air you are not going to be able to use your night table." So I have not had a spot for an alarm clock or any type of lighting device, and let me say it's not good for a clumsy person to attempt to go up and down a small bunk bed latter in the dark.
