I HATE TOWN DAYS!!!

OK WELL MAYBE NOT EVERY ONE, BUT THIS ONE WAS HORRIBLE! I HAD TO TAKE BOTH CHILDREN BECAUSE ALANA HAD A SNOW DAY AT SCHOOL TODAY(NO IT DIDN'T SNOW, BUT IF THE KIDS HAVE SNOW DAYS THEY HAVEN'T TAKEN, THEN THEY USE THEM UP AT THE END OF THE YEAR MAINLY ON FRIDAYS). ANYWAY, I HAD PLANS TO GO TO LOWE'S, WALMART, AND THE DOLLAR STORE, AND TO MY MOM'S. WELL WE ONLY MADE IT TO WALMART. I WAS GETTING GROCERIES, AND BY THE TIME I WAS THROUGH IN WALMART I WAS SOOO READY TO GET HOME. MY SON KEPT GRABBING STUFF OFF THE SHELVES AND PUTTING IT IN THE BUGGY, AND MY DAUGHTER ASKED ABOUT 1,000 QUESTIONS FROM THE TIME WE GOT FROM THE FRONT OF THE STORE TO THE BACK. SHE ALSO KEPT WALKING AWAY FROM THE BUGGY AND WOULD NOT LISTEN. I TOLD THE HUBBY THAT I WAS GOING TO WAIT TILL SATURDAYS TO GO TO TOWN FROM NOW ON SO HE CAN BE WITH ME OR KEEP THE KIDS AT HOME. I AM SERIOUS. NO MORE FOR ME. I HAVE LEARNED MY LESSON!
I THEN TOOK AN ALLERGY PILL WHEN I GOT HOME. IT HAS MADE ME SOO SLEEPY!
IS IT NORMAL TO HAVE NOSEBLEEDS EVERY SINGLE DAY? MAYBE THIS MEDICINE WILL STOP ALL THAT. I KNOW NOW TO TAKE IT AT NIGHT THOUGH. I HAVE A BIRTHDAY PARTY TO GO TO TOMORROW FOR MY BEST FRIEND'S LITTLE GIRL. IS THIS TORTUROUS WEEK EVER GONNA END???

SILLY BOY!

LAST NIGHT I PUT MY CHILDREN TO BED AT 8:00p.m. MY 2 YEAR OLD SON USUALLY TALKS HIMSELF TO SLEEP FOR ABOUT 15 MINUTES AFTER HE GOES TO BED. HE IS SO RAMBUNCTIOUS THAT WE HAVE TO LOCK THE TOY CLOSET AT BEDTIME. ANYWAY, AT AROUND 9:30 I AM STILL HEARING NOISES COMING OUT OF HIS ROOM. I GO IN THERE TO CHECK. DADDY WAS HOME LAST NIGHT AND FORGOT TO LOCK THE CLOSET BEFORE HE LEFT, SO LITTLE GUY HAD OPENED THE DOOR, TURNED ON HIS BIG LIGHT AND WAS JUST PLAYING AWAY. I MADE HIM HELP ME PICK UP HIS TOYS AND PUT HIM BACK TO BED. HE WAS OUT WITHIN 5 MINUTES. LET'S JUST SAY, HE WAS READY FOR HIS NAP TODAY, AND SO WAS I.
I HAVE BEEN GOING THROUGH A SPRING CLEANING EPISODE WITHIN THESE LAST FEW WEEKS SO TODAY DURING THE NAP I CLEANED OUT MY FILE CABINET AND FOUND ALL OF THE LOVE LETTERS MY HUBBY HAS WRITTEN ME. SO SWEET! I LOVE TO GO BACK IN TIME AND REMINISCE ABOUT THE GOOD OLD DAYS WHEN THERE WAS NO POOP TO DEAL WITH, WHEN I COULD ACTUALLY TAKE A BATH WITHOUT WORRYING ABOUT THE DEMISE OF MY HOUSE WHILST I WAS DOING SO, WHEN I COULD DO ANYTHING I DAMN WELL PLEASED WITHOUT A COUPLE OF TAGALONGS, BUT I DIGRESS. I LOVE MY BABIES AND WOULD DO ANYTHING FOR THEM. I AM TRYING TO ENJOY EVERY MINUTE OF THEIR SMALL YEARS, BUT I CAN'T HELP BUT BE EXCITED FOR THE DAY WHEN MY BABY STARTS KINDERGARTEN(EVEN THOUGH I KNOW I WILL SHED BUCKETS OF TEARS).
I AM GOING TO FIX DINNER FOR THE BABIES WHILE WATCHING TODAYS "THE VIEW" (THANK GOD FOR TIVO)AND ENJOY THEM AWHILE BEFORE THEY GO TO BED.
THEN MAMA PARTY TIME!!!(OH I FORGOT, I AM OUT OF WINE!)
TOMORROW IS MY TOWN DAY, I TRY TO ONLY LEAVE THE HOUSE ONCE OR TWICE A WEEK, OTHER THAN DOCTORS VISITS, ETC, SO I WILL GO TO BED EARLIER TONIGHT SO I CAN DEAL WITH THE KIDDOS BETTER IN WAL-MART(YOU KNOW IF YOU LIVE IN THE SOUTH, WALMART IS YOUR SHOPPING EPITOME) AS THEY SCREAM FOR THE TOYS.

BRAND NEW BLOGGER!

OK PEEPS, I AM BRAND NEW AT THIS BLOGGING THING. I HAVE READ MANY MANY OTHER MOMMY BLOGS, BUT HAVE NEVER WRITTEN MY OWN. I AM SUPER EXCITED TO START THIS THING THOUGH. I LIVE IN A VERY SMALL TOWN IN TENNESSEE. MCNAIRY COUNTY. I AM FROM A NEIGHBORING CITY ABOUT 15 MILES AWAY FROM HERE THOUGH. MY HUBBY BROUGHT ME HERE TO HIS HOMETOWN. WE LIVE RIGHT NEXT DOOR TO MY IN-LAWS (THAT IS ANOTHER STORY WITHIN ITSELF). I HAVE 2 CHILDREN ALANA(6) AND NICK(2), WELL HE IS ALMOST 3. THEY ARE THE LOVES OF MY LIFE AND ALSO THE REASON WINE WAS INVENTED I THINK. MY HUBBY IS AN OVER THE ROAD TRUCK DRIVER, BUT HE IS HOME SOME DURING THE WEEK AND EVERY WEEKEND. WE HAVE GROWN ACCUSTOMED TO THIS LIFESTYLE, AS WE HAVE BEEN TOGETHER FOR ALMOST 9 YEARS NOW. I WOULDN'T HAVE IT ANY OTHER WAY ACTUALLY. HE IS GONE LONG ENOUGH FOR ME TO MISS HIM, BUT DOESN'T STAY HOME TOO LONG TO REALLY GET ON MY NERVES(OTHER THAN EXTENUATING CIRCUMSTANCES SUCH AS TRUCK BREAKDOWNS OR SICK DAYS). I HAVE MY BEST GIRLFRIENDS TO KEEP ME COMPANY DURING THE WEEK. WELL THOSE ARE THE BASICS , BUT BEFORE I GO I WANT TO TELL YOU OF A CONVERSATION THAT I HAD WITH MY 6 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER REGARDING MY MEATLOAF TONIGHT:

ALANA(DURING 2ND HELPING OF MEATLOAF): MAMA THIS IS SOO GOOD.

ME: I AM SO GLAD YOU LIKE IT DARLING.

ALANA: I MEAN IT IS SOO GOOD THAT EVEN IF IT WERE IN THE TOILET, I WOULD EAT IT.

ME: HAHAHAHAHAHA!! THANK YOU SO MUCH SWEETIE! THAT MAKES MOMMY FEEL SO GOOD!

OF COURSE I HAD TO TELL THE HUBBY AND EVERYONE I TALKED TO ABOUT HER COMMENT. KIDS ARE SO PRECOCIOUS, YOU JUST NEVER KNOW WHAT THEY MIGHT SAY.
