It's Friday!!

Well, I now have a 3 year old....Milo turned 3 on the 20th! He is just so dang cute! He's been holding up 5 fingers and saying he's 'free'. lol! And potty training has gone very well thus far. He still has a couple issues at childcare...but since it's only 2.5 hours a day, we have just been putting him in a pull-up for now. Though lately he's been saying he doesn't like pull-ups....which, truth be told, I don't like them either.....he doesn't act any different in them then he did in his diapers. It drives me crazy!! Though he loves childcare lately....he calls it 'kool' (for school) hehehe.
Last weekend was a crazy weekend.....we moved bedrooms. Soooo, Dan and I moved into the kid's playroom, Egan moved into our room and Milo stayed put. But what a chaotic MESS it was!!! OY! But things are definately organized now and I LOVE our bedroom now!!!! I didn't think we'd have as much space...which wasn't a lot to begin with, but.....it seems like we have so much MORE space now!!! did I mention I LOVE our bedroom?? LOL. Flylady says your bedroom should be your oasis....a place to go and relax, but frankly, I disliked our bedroom A LOT!!!!! so it was never really organized, never really my 'oasis'.
Egan is in 7th Heaven with his OWN room!!! And again, there seems to be so much space for him too!! Even with his toys, animals and books. I woke him up last Monday morning and he was already awake, he looked at me with a big grin.....and said, "I love my room mom...thank you!" awww.....I really think he needed something like this to call his own!!! Milo has been doing very well too except for last nite. I had to play Super Nanny on him.....I think he was testing the waters with me. Which is really hard on me because of several reasons: a. he's so dang cute b. he touches my cheek and kisses me and says he "yoves" me c. I'm exhausted after working all day, making dinner, doing homework, baths and bedtime stories d. I would LOVE to cuddle with him and sleep with him. You take your pick, they all are good reasons oh, but there is one more......It's just so much easier!!!!!!!!!!!! But, in the long run, I know this could definitely be a problem...especially on the weekends when Dan is home and I really do need some time for myself at nite so I can write on my blog.....or do homework for my poor neglected classes!!!
Sometimes I think I'm crazy for trying to work 32 hours and take care of my family....I get home and it's rush rush rush......and with Dan working 2nd shift....I don't have the help that I could use to keep me organized and less stressed!!!! I really don't know how single parents do it!! I always admired my sister for that....she was very organized her house was usually always clean and she was always on top of stuff. I remember cleaning out her house with my mom after she died and realizing how super organized she was. She made it easy for us to clean out her house. And I remember thinking how horrible it would be to have to clean mine out!! LOL! clutter in certain areas.....yikes!!!! So, I strive to be like her.....one thing I've gotten down pat is her yelling. With all her good mommy traits she had....boy, did she yell at those kids! they totally didn't seem bothered by it...obviously used to it....Laney just used to shrug when I would tease my sister and say she yells to much.....I however, have that trait myself......and I'm not sure when it started but I know that is NOT a trait we got from my mom....she is soooo soft spoken!
But I digress.......I've come to the realization that I really love my job and we really could use the money right now....we really want to be debt free SOMEDAY?!?!?! So with that in mind, I just need to "suck it up!!" Mamma always said there'd be days like this! lol!
It's now Friday though, and I have the weekend to relax a little bit....little....bit....and get my ducks in a row. We have our annual Burrito Dinner and carnival at school tomorrow. Dan and my dad are working in the kitchen with my uncle (it's his 'world famous' burrito recipe). The kids are excited to play some games and win some (cheesy) prizes....so it should be a fun day!! Hopefully the weather will cooperate.
I've babble enough for now......and since the kids are sleeping, I think I will take a shower....I've wanted to all day today, but I was running around getting things done today on my day off and it never happened! Ahhh...the life of a mommy! never ends does it? lol!
