Busy Kids


Mack and the girls have discovered Mack's old push car. It's all the rave these days. I also purchased a used car from the thrift store (Care Bears). I should have checked to see if it played music or anything else for that matter. The girls love to push the button over and over.

We were testing out our Halloween costumes. All three of these costumes were once Mack's. The only one that made the cut this year is the chicken. Lily will be wearing it proudly come the 31st of October.

Being A Woman


I hope this post isn't too depressing. I just feel like being honest. I'm not going to lie. Sometimes I feel sad and not altogether great. I know, what a surprise. I'm sure there are other women out there that can relate to just wanting to have a good cry to feel better. I was just washing bottles for tomorrow morning and I had this very lonely feeling come over me. Now this could be caused by either female hormones or not enough sleep. I stood there washing bottles wondering what's wrong with me? Why am I crying? My next thought was, I'm tired. I've had a long day with the kids, taking care of the house, making dinner, and getting Mack back and forth from preschool. Not to mention the girls and all they need. I'm not complaining I guess I'm just writing my feelings, and I guess I'm getting brave enough to share them with all my friends. It isn't that I don't love being a mother. I love those sweet little faces when they crawl up into my lap and try to grab my earrings or want me to hold their little fat hand as I help them walk around the room. I get lost in the smell of their hair and their huge gummy grins when I make them smile. Those moments are beautiful. I guess sometimes you just get tired and you need to cry, and then your right back to folding laundry and wiping noses and taking diapers to the trash. Well here are my thoughts for today. I hope they weren't too sad to read. Maybe tomorrow I won't be so tired?
