Internal Dialogue
I thought I would post some random thoughts that I had today and how I was thinking. Some may not make sense and very random but here it goes:
-I normally awake to the rustling of Weston in his crib playing with his toys, but not today. I guess Jared must of got him out of bed because he was meandering the house. I kept hearing it and thought, "what the heck is all that noise" It was almost like I heard a mouse in the kitchen. I got out of bed and found my son rummaging through the trash and eating old crackers. I wasn't really surprised since he does this quite often. I just said Weston "what are you doing" in which he just gave me a blank stare and a hug. He is the most lovable baby we have ever had. I love it! I just had to document it since these are the little things I forget...(see below)
I love the look of innocence on his face-I often wonder how their little minds work, I mean it is more intriguing to them to push baskets of dirty laundry, get into cupboards, pull out pots and pans, play in toliet water, walk around with the tv remote and take all the cds and books off the shelfs. All of this he loves to do rather than play with toys. Are the manufacturers marketing the wrong stuff? I guess I was a little spoiled with my older two since they really never got into anything...or did they and I just can't remember? How sad! I know I will miss this stage in a few months because it means my baby isn't a "baby" anymore, but for now it drives me a little crazy sometimes.
-I actually was able to watch a couple stories on the Today Show today! This is a miracle in itself since I haven't done that for at least nine months. My brain has been warped from Jo Jo's Circus, The Doodle Bops, and the Wiggles and many more in which I don't have room to type. I have forgotten how "normal" tv can sometimes be educational. Or is that normal?
-I have a love/hate relationship with putting my kids into extra activities. On one hand I love that they are learning new things, meeting new people and getting great experience. On the other hand, it has been only 3 weeks and I am getting burned out of swim practice every morning and Taylor's dance recital is this week. It is pretty painful (not the recital itself) but all of the "extra" practices they have to attend and it is manditory or else! It wouldn't be so bad, but her dress rehearsal is downtown along with the real show ( a major inconvience) and despite all that you have to pay $10 to park. UHHHH! I am excited for her though and know she is really looking forward to performing in her new costumes. Stay tuned pictures to follow Saturday.
I hate that I have to water my lawn so much. It gripes me that I waste water just to get a beautiful green "effect". The bummer part is it has been so dry that even though I have been watering a ton--there are still tons of brown!
-Now another thing I have been wondering is why do people assume you are skinny because you have soooo many kids? They assume I must chase them all day. Does that mean my children are wild and crazy? Because in order to burn that many calories you would have to be running a ton! I am not at all knocking the compliment, because it is flattering. But I do make a conscious effort to exercise and watch what I eat. Is that really wrong? I am not at all bashing those who have weight issues because I have been there by all means. I am actually about 15lbs heavier when I was married than I am now. And I also did gain 50 lbs which each of my pregnancies (see below) Baby or no baby that is a lot for me personally and even my doctor was concerned. At the time I was more mad he said something and very offended. I thought how could he say such a thing to someone? I am not by any means bragging because I am very self conscious about myself but just wondering.

A very prego Jenny!-Sometimes I hate the summer because I never feel like cooking! I really don't mind cooking if I have a menu planned out. But its almost too HOT to enjoy a home cooked meal and I find myself always wanting to eat out. For one thats bad!! Second what am I thinking wasting all of that $$$$ it is so expensive to eat out???!! Yet, I yearn to do it everyday just for the convience. Passed right by this this morning..... Buffalo Wild Wings
Today is Tuesday which means
(.35) wing day!
-The grossest thing happen to me last night. As I was sitting on the computer I felt something on my leg. (almost like a hair) when I reached down to slap it, it was a bug!! Yuck! I think a cockaroch, but not sure because I never could find the dumb thing again. Needless to say I had the chills for a while over it.
-Is there an age where you stop getting blasted zits?! If so please give me some wisdom. I am still getting them and specifically one on my nose won't leave! Is it genetic? If so I am in trouble because my dad still complains of them and he is 50!
-Another question I ask myself is why is it when one of your kids gets invited to a friends house everyone else cries and says life isn't fair if they have to stay home? Heaven forbid if they played with their friend all day yesterday and now the other one is gone and gets a chance to! I can't win and yes-- Taylor I am a mean mother! (sorry for letting your friend spend the night last night) And sorry you are so terribly BORED.
p.s. sorry ang if Mackenzi smells of syrup they had french toast this morning. I know how you hate that smell of maple syrup!

-Lastly, note to self: go get your eyebrows waxed before someone thinks you are teen wolf! This is for sure a must since my eyebrows are growing out of control and are darker than my hair! (I won't take a picture so don't worry).
-Well, I am off to mow the lawn. I know you all are jealous especially in this over 100 degree weather we have here in Texas. I guess I can look at the bright side of things I am getting a little bit of a tan right? Okay I am done ranting for now. Chow!!
***Any random thoughts or wisdom?***
