Juggling it all...

In the back of my mind, and I mean very far back where the cobwebs grow, I just knew this day would come. I innocently convinced myself that all this time he was somehow getting better... I say innocently because the doctor was filling my mind with false illusions. So, here it is... my little man has to get glasses. This is pretty much my inner monolgue for the past 48 hours... This is killing me! I know tons of little kids have glasses and Brody sure is stinkin' cute in them, but to me this is the realization that his vision, his sight, his eye muscle issues have not gotten better all these years and after that horrific eye surgery nothing has really changed. I'm mad! It's the kind of mad that you get when all the things you hoped and dreamed for your kid comes crashing down. I know this is all sounding so dramatic and when I see that cute little face in those glasses it just melts my heart, but I still can't help but feel a little sad. This is just a 6-week t

For anyone who has kids in diapers knows that the day your house becomes 100% diaper free is a day like no other... it truly deserves it's own national holiday. However, in my family's case I'll settle for a little underwear dance party. Oh yeah, that's how we roll. Only it's not so pretty with the big guy and me so we'll just leave that to the cute buns trio. Seriously though, when we threw away the last and final wadded up diaper that happen to have found itself a nice quiet home behind the twiners bedroom door - don't worry, the diaper was bone dry just like all the other ones for about the last month - I decided (in my head) it would be an awesome thing to light a match and watch it burn, baby burn! But, thankfully that convo only happened in my head and so our neighbors were spared of any trash can fire that might have erupted in front of our house. So, there you have it folks... my so called "babies" are turning 4 in just a couple of mon

Uggghhhh, I caved! But then again, I knew I would. Somehow I just knew this was going to be the year they would beat me down. Let me introduce you to the newest member of our family... Roxy! Miss Roxy-roo (as I call her) or just Rox (as the kiddos call her) is an 11mo old german shorthair pointer. Once we started looking into getting a dog I knew instantly that there was no way anyone in this family was going to convince me to get a puppy. No way, no how! For us (me) it had to be a young pup with some obedience training and boy do I fee like we hit the jackpot with this dog. Housebroken, check. Kennel trained, check. Knows common commands, check. Lets my kids play all over her, check, check and check :-) But wouldn't you know it, we get the dog last night and conveniently Scott started a 3-day work schedule today so now it's just me, the kids and this beautiful dog who has got to be freaked out about what's just happened to her in the last 24 hours. Thanks, hun! Wel

Yesterday as me and the twiners were in the car leaving the rec center Brody shouts from his car seat "Mom!" I look in the rear view mirror to see him rubbing his leg and shouting in the most excited and enthused tone "Mom, I'm finally growing hair on my legs! Look! Can you see, Mom? There's hair on my legs!" At that point I basically had to pull over in the parking lot because I was laughing so hard I couldn't see to drive. Man that kid cracks me up!
