Hudson is at Nonnie & Papa’s house again. He left last night with them because I was having a really bad day. And no, he was not the cause. I just had a deadline for work that HAD to be met. And I had stressed myself out to my breaking point by 4PM Wednesday. Luckily, my parents got here just in time to save me from literally crawling into the corner and sobbing for a few hours.
I have been overwhelmed the last month or so. Not with the kids, but with the lack of time I am afforded to get anything else- like work or house stuff done. We’ve also been a bit slower this month at work, which is par for the August course but with three babies I feel it much more than I did in the past. I find myself questioning how I have lived my life to this point financially. All those little (and not so little) things I HAD TO HAVE 3 years ago? If I hadn’t GOTTEN THEM it would just make a huge difference now that we have 3 kids. I just feel stupid for not being responsible sooner. Luckily, our company is established. We’ve been in biz for 6 years and we aren’t going anywhere. We just have to much more careful with our money for the next few years so in the future we won’t have to worry. It’s hard to go from buying Chanel bags & sports cars to trying to stretch the groceries out just ONE MORE DAY. Some might think it’s a fall- but I’ve decided after some reflection that our goals financially are more important.
Add to that the deadline at work & I was just a mess.
I felt better after talking it over with my stepdad & my mom. They are good at helping me talk through things even if they end up being a sounding board. I am so grateful to have such wonderful people there to support me when I have a moment.
So, in order for me to get my work under control Hudson went home with Nonnie. And I missed him all day. But, by 9AM the twins were fed and sawing logs while I got to work. And I worked ALL DAY. Thanks to the twins loving to roll around on the floor and jump in the jumper and play in their play gym- and my sister-in-law Krust for coming to feed them lunch- I got a shitton done today. In fact my first break was after 8PM. I made us dinner (enchiladas!) and then after I ate I went back to work. Around 11 I WAS DONE!!!!! I got caught up on what I needed to & I am ready for tomorrow. But, since I was feeling crazy I cleaned the house (all except my bedroom!) and now I am relaxing in bed watching tv.
Today? I felt so very accomplished. But tomorrow?! I cannot WAIT to go get Hudson. I miss him. I miss him so much.

Now? I just need Big Love & South Park & my life will be happy.
Baby Loves Disco is having their next San Francisco event on October 23rd from 2-5 PM at Ruby Skye.
And I for one? AM TOTALLY EXCITED! I have never been before but have known a few friends who have taken their kids to the SF parties in the past.
Tickets are pretty steep at $20.00 per walking human- but the spoils go to charity. I can get behind that for sure.
Hopefully a few local moms will make it out with me to dance & have fun with the kiddos!
But since I don’t think either one of them read my blog with any regularity, I had to share these adorable photos of my brother, Andrew & his girlfriend, Xiomara (Zee-oh-mara in case you need the pronunciation) :
She is super good with my kids which is wonderful since, as you can see in the second picture by the look on my brother’s face- he has no clue when it comes to kids.
Monday night here. Just about to feed some babies before I konk out for the night.
We had a delightful weekend which started kinda early on Friday when Scott took the morning off so we could go to Goodguy’s to meet up with one of my childhood friends, Howli, who was visiting. It was great to see her & fabulous to get some extra hands with the kids even if just for a few minutes!
After the car show we headed home because Scott worked in the afternoon. Friday night, as per usual- I went to Target with my sister-in-laws. LIVING THE DREAM PEOPLE. Actually, I love Target with all my heart & soul so I have no problem with spending my Friday night there. Got some stuff I need & then hung out on the couch chatting. Good times.
Saturday we had our community garage sale. I didn’t get rid of much but I made $100.00 which isn’t too shabby for like 4 hours of work. Afterwards I dragged my burnt ass home & ordered Chinese food with Sarah, Krust, Scott, Lisa & Harley. Lucky Dragon is THE SHIT. Like, their mongolian chicken is AMAZING.
Sunday we visited with my Grandma, aunt & uncle in the morning. It was fun to see my Nonnie since we don’t get to see her that often. We had lunch & Hudson spent the entire time turning on & off her TV. Then we went over to Scott’s aunt for a BBQ in honor of Sarah’s birthday.
Hudson enjoyed playing with the doggie door.
Adorable, right?!
And then he stopped to smell the flowers.
Tru & Sawyer spent time relaxing in the laps of friends & family.
And after all the weekend excitement we came home & curled up on the couch. It was awesome. I caught up on some blog posts I had been meaning to do & went to bed early. I am gonna have a TON of posts this week with catch up photos & videos I’ve been meaning to post. Stay tuned!
She has it:
But, I’ll be damned if she isn’t the most adorable narcoleptic EVARRRR!
Playing on the floor together like the adorable children they are.
I JUST LOVE THEM!!
Children want to make you look like an asshole.
Remember how I was like “ohhh poooorrr meeee! The twins can sleep 12 hours & I am losing sleep because I am worried about them!” Yeah, well, last night I fed them around 8 & that was IT. I fed & changed them and put them down FOR THE NIGHT. Except Sawyer didn’t get the memo & she woke up at 5AM completely soaked in pee & wanting a bottle. Basically, I can’t win.
The tank is awesome. He is such a big boy & so adorable to boot. Just LOVE my little Truman/Tru/Tutu/Tututank.
Last Sunday, Lisa came over bright & early so we could drive out to Santa Cruz to head to see our tattoo artist, Hudge at FU TATTOO. We’ve been going to him for about 7 years now so it’s always fun to make a day of heading over the hill to the coast & get tattooed & catch up with him & some of the other shop employees.
Lisa got a sweet anchor on her forearm.
I got the other half of my “I will be grateful for this day. 12.7.05 1.20.09″ tattoo that I started right before I found out I was pregnant with the twins last summer. I got on my other forearm “I will be grateful for each day to come 3.3.10.” I am so in love with these tattoos. Seriously.
I also got a molar on my arm and underneath it says “teef” which is kinda of a nickname that I am officially owning since I’ve got big ass teeth. 
Hilarous because I was chatting with our artist and was like “I also want to get a tooth on my forearm. Like a molar.” to which the shop guy answered “Like this one?” and lifted his arm to show me the molar tattoo he had in exactly the same location I was getting mine. TWINSTARS!
Can’t wait for these to finish healing and start saving for my next ones. I am going to get my last name somewhere & then a shoulder cap of my favorite flowers.
