Out of the Mouths of Babes

Earlier Cody went to get me a blizzard (I'm such a spoiled shit, but that's a blog for another time), but he only got one because he thought E would be asleep by the time he got home.
Well, when he walked in E automatically thought the ice cream was for him. He pouted and whined the whole time I ate it, even going so far as to tell me that it was for boys because there was a picture of a guy on the cup.
I was a nice mommy, though, and saved him a few bites at the end. (I also kept offering him bites while I was eating) when he was done he handed me the cup, and I started whining that he ate my ice cream just to mess with him. You know what that turd said to me..."What?? I was hungry!!"
Where does he come up with this stuff??? He's way too smart for a 3 yr old.

Sewing Fail

So awhile back I had this BRILLIANT idea that I was going to sew Aubrey's clothes so that she could have tons of adorable outfits at a fraction of the cost. I got the patterns, the material, the sewing machine, I was ready to go. WRONG! Apparently sewing is easier said than done. DAMN!
I was having a smart day and decided I needed to practice on scrap material before I jumped right in. Good thing I was using my noggin. Something went way wrong and the thread broke. Yes, B.R.O.K.E. No, I don't know why. Of course, that could be because I had NO. IDEA. WHAT. I. WAS. DOING.
Think I might just file this one in the FAIL folder and find a seamstress. What am I going to do about the stuff I bought to sew burp rags and things for my cousin's baby?? Maybe I can do applique on the onesies...how do you do that???
**Side-note: my MIL thought it was such a great idea. She told me I could even make Ethan's clothes. Ummm, no. Frilly little girl outfits=cute, boys t-shirts=not so much.

Sorry For the Absence...

Things have been pretty hectic the last week. I was wanting to try to blog everyday but last week was the first week Ethan has been home all day long because we pulled him out of daycare. That took some getting used to. We're still working on it.
In other news, Aubrey is trying to crawl!! I say this with a smile and a tear. Ya see, when E was a baby and he would make developmental progress ahead of the curve I was ecstatic because my baby was a genius. But that also meant that he didn't stay baby-ish very long.
This time around I would like to take things as slow as possible, but Aubrey seems to have other plans.
We've also upgraded her to her bouncy activity seat thingy because she got so big that if she moved a lot her swing wouldn't be able to keep swinging. She was already 15 lbs at her 4 month check up last Friday!
Any ideas on how I can keep them from growing up faster than I want them to???
*** I'm writing these from my phone because we don't have internet at our house. Hopefully I will soon figure out how to include pictures.

Varicose Veins

I was watching a commercial about a new varicose vein procedure and the other day The Doctors did a segment about them, too. After hearing what they do, I just don't get it.
They are basically closing off the vein so that no more blood flows through and it can't be seen under the skin. This doesn't sound good to me. I think they are unsightly as all get out and I don't want to have them anymore than anyone else does...but hello! They are CLOSING OFF A VEIN. Am I the only one that thinks doing that would have all kinds of repercussions?? Go ahead, say it out loud to yourself and see if it sounds weird.
I mean, you're closing off a vein. Aren't they there for a reason? Does it affect the bloodflow back to your heart in any way? Just sounds scary to me.
What do you think???

Hi! Welcome to my blog.

So, I've read a lot of blogs, but I'm new to writing a blog. I figured I would give it a try though, because sometimes things happen that are just too long to post on FB. Damn 400 character limit, if it weren't for that I sure would be subjecting my poor friends to my long-winded stories.
A little about me: right now I stay at home with Aubrey and Ethan when I'm not in class. I'm looking for a job, so keep yoir fingers crossed for me. Ethan is 3 going on 13. He has so much attitude but he's so funny about it that I crack up all the time. The kid is WAY smarter than me but I'll never tell him that. Aubrey is growing like a weed. She has been rolling over for several weeks now and scoots all over the place. We anticipate her to start crawling anytime now.
I say that with pride, but it makes us sad at the same time because she's not staying our little baby long enough for us.
Anyhoo, there's a tidbit about me. I'm sure you'll learn plenty as I post more on here. Happy reading!!!
