Man Time

  I don't know what it is but in my experience men have no sense of time. For example Mr. Real Estate will spend 2 hours with his son and then go on and on about how he had him all day. Two hours is not all day lets get that point across first it is two hours. At the same time Mr. Real Estate will say he is going to meet (Toby's dad) for a drink and be back in 2 hours and comes back four hours later. How dose that work that the internal clock of a man can't run like real clock and is so off one way or the other? If you ask me it has to do with the fun factor.........

It's a good thing you like Knee socks

As i may have made clear in other post my daughter is a spirited young girl! That being said it's a good thing she likes knee socks because she will be attending catholic school k-12 because she needs the discipline all day not just at home. I would also like to see some of that catholic guilt rub off on her as well.

So you might ask what is the event that took place to send Mr. Real Estate and i over the edge? Let me tell you it was a proud moment for us and i hope you will understand why. After Soccer we took Bailey out for brunch and Coach Kelly out for a bloody Mary and talked about our favorite subject Halloween. Bailey then broke out into song and i will let the words of the song lead you down the direction of what she did not once, not twice but three times in a row. Even the threat of no Halloween and time out did not work to stop the madness she had to be carried out.


Trick or Treat Smell my feet

We just feel if she is 3 and acting like this the stricter the school the better.

step away from the BaDazzler!

I don't know what it is but my daughter has a particular taste for clothes that look like a BaDazzler went crazy on them. I don't know what it is but her taste screams my mom has a BaDazzler and probably also has state fair hair. I always thought i would get to guide her taste down the Ralph Lauren, j-crew, Burberry and Kate Spade road I have loved for my entire life. No joke from the time i could pick out my clothes i had the same taste so it must be hard wired into our souls. The sad thing is i judge me for the cloths she puts on in the morning. Dear god one only knows what her prom dress will look like. On the up side she is now putting cloths on everyday.

And I am back......

After 6 weeks of being a mother of two i am back to the real world. I wanted my first blog back to be the top 10 things i have learned over the past 6 weeks, because it has been eye opening......

10. Boys are little men from day one

9. Having your two year old tell people at target she has to go home and pump her boobs is priceless.

8. Rocking a one piece swimsuit is not as old women as i thought....
(My stomach is not ready for the world)

7. I love infomercials and for my next job i would like to be the star of one!

6. Mr. Real Estate can only stay home alone with two kids for 11 min without freaking.

5. My hair dresser is a god for letting me bring one of my spawn with me when i come in so i don't look homeless.

4. flying with 2 kids was not hard at all. I just had more stuff.

3. shopping online should be outlawed after 3 a.m.

2. I am truly thankful for the MN nice because a MN man will always open a door, grab your cart as it rolls away at target, help you fold a stroller at security and hand you a 20.00 you just dropped.

1. Two children is better then one!

Yes I know how to read!

Today I was at a school working and overheard two boys talking and one of the boys was being not so nice and making fun of his buddy for not knowing what something said and the other boy yelled at him and said "yes I know how to read". For whatever reason this triggered all the memories for me of learning how to read that was made even more strange because it was the women who took the time to teach me how to reads birthday. To be completely honest with you i had forgot today was my Grandmothers Birthday until i was listing to these little boys talk.

One summer when my family made the trip back to the hills of West Va. my Grandmother being the teacher she was decided she would help my mom out and teach her dyslexic granddaughter how to read. She bought two books for me Double Decker bus and one about a little girl picking fruit. I only remember the bus book because it was the first book i ever read. By giving me the gift of reading my grandmother gave me a world i would have never known if not for her. I have solved crimes with Nancy drew, scared myself silly with R.L. Stine, talked to god with Margret, lived a life of privilege with Tori Spelling, had adventures with the 4 March girls in little women, been invited to the extravagant party's of Jay Gatsby, and most recently lived the life of a back woods bar maid with Sookie Stackhouse in Charlaine Harris series.


So thanks Grandma you changed my life and gave me adventure even if the books i read are not always intellectual i am always entertained and i believe that's what books are meant to do.

Do you ever think to yourself my kid is a bit odd?

people always think it is so cute and funny when kids do and say crazy things. I am not saying it's not but some times the things my daughter dose are down right odd. we love her and laugh with her most of the time. These are a few of my favorites over the past few weeks.

1. The other day Bailey took off her pants and put markers and paint on her butt. I asked her why and did not get an answer. (i hope she dose not get bunch of tattoos as an adult)

2. question from Bailey......
how dose the little mermaid go potty?

3. Bailey will get into a particularly odd mood and lick peoples clothing.

4. when she defecates Bailey talk to herself and says....
"I'm pushing the poop"
"I'm pushing the poop out of my butt"
"i did it"

5. I want to smell the dogs butt when he poops
(why is all i can say)

It is hard to make parenting glamor filled some times when you talk about body functions 75% of the time. But you can still have your Gucci bag and Jimmy Choo shoes and talk about poop and look fab doing it all.
