Jill over at Baby Rabies tweeted a link to this post tonight. I wasn’t prepared. I think it’s the most honest, beautiful thing I’ve ever read. Continue reading 'Probably the most touching thing I have ever read.'»


Typical Aquarius?

I have no idea.

Because I’m being serious here when I say- I am used to living with Pisces. Myself, my hubs- the twins. We are all Pisces.

I hope I’m not a total bitch.

My husband commented tonight that “my whole mood changed” when Hudson got home from his Nonnie & Papa’s tonight after a two night stint.

Saturday- I was pretty much having a meltdown. I was so exhausted from chasing around the kid and putting his clothes back in his drawer for the 80th time after he throws them all over the room when I’m not looking. I was annoyed because my husband complains of never getting family time- but then Saturday morning he has a million things to do that do NOT include playing with Hudson & I. Oh, and he said that I would “feel better if I cleaned up and left our house once in a while” So, needless to say, I wasn’t in the best mood. My parents were set to pick up Hudson Sunday morning and bring him home tonight but I was literally at the end of my proverbial rope, my friends.

So, I called my step-dad. And did something I feel really bad about. I asked if my Mom & he would come get Hudson Saturday night. And they did.

But then- something changed. I didn’t have a kid to look after. I was still tired and achy and all that- but Scott & I were giggling and hanging out and pretty much having a wonderful time. There was no “CAN YOU GET IN HERE AND HELLPPPPP MEEEE?” crabbiness. It was actually kinda great. Saturday night we had dinner and sat around. Sunday, we made breakfast, went on a walk & then watched two football games even though I hate football- and it was fun and wonderful. We even decided to clean out our CLOSET at 10 PM last night and we cleaned the whole thing, organized it and laughed until 1 AM. Total teamwork.

Today, while Scott was at work I got up early. I showered at like 8:30. I ran errands. When Scott got home early we cleaned the house together. We had a fabulous day.

Then, my parents got here with my little guy- whom I missed like crazy!! I was so freaking happy to see him. But, apparently, according to my husband: I was immediately “on edge”. It made me sad to hear him say that because I didn’t feel like I act any different.

Anyways, I hope we can find a way to find the balance of having a great time together & being awesome parents. Because- well- soon there will be three and if I am really that different when my kids are around, I suppose we are ALL in trouble!
