Tackle it Tuesday

Today's Tackle It Tuesday is brought to you by the letter B....

B is for Big Bird... obviously... missing the days of sesame street when life was simple, there were no life altering decisions to be made. It was a simpler time, when my biggest problem was learning to color in the lines. 

B is for boredom.... bored with studying when I know that cute adorable little man is right on the other side of my bedroom door. Thankful to have my mother-in-law here watching him, but it's so hard to concentrate when I hear all of the fun they are having... Thursday will have to be spent at the library where I can tell myself that he is home sleeping the day away and I'm not missing anything.

B is for bedroom... where I am stuck studying all day.... I'm not complaining.... happy to be in school and able to start a new career... just wish that hubs would share 5 feet of his "office" with me so that our bedroom could be a place of rest and relaxation

B is for booty... still haven't gotten back to exersizing since little mans arrival.. and it's time to whip this booty into shape.... tonight we will walk around the neighborhood .. it's a start right :o)

hmmm any other B words for ya'll..... ha.... none that would be PC so... that's it for today... thanks for sharing

The Dishwasher Debacle

Here's the thing. . . .there is a certain ammount of finesse that is required when loading the dishwasher. Woman, you know what I'm talking about. I mean... it makes sense for the cups to go in a certain place, the plates in their rightful spot, please tell me I'm not alone in my thinking.  

Hubs was super awesome yesterday and cleaned up the kitchen while I was busy cleaning out the garage. I love this man to death. He is truly the love of my life. I can not imagine anyone else standing next to me through the crazy journey called Life.

This morning, I go into the kitchen for my morning ritual. Gulp down a mug of coffee, make little man's morning bottle, and empty the dishwasher so that it can be filled up throughout the day. 

I open the dishwasher and a  serving spoons falls out... that should have been my first clue. What in the world !?!??! remember when you were a kid and had to clean your room.... you jammed the mess under your bed, in your closet, and other other empty spaces available. This is kind of the idea of what I saw. I wish I could have taken a picture to show you the absolute disaray that was the pots, pans, plates, cups. But my phone was dead.

Not only was there no rhyme or reason, but he put things in with crusty food ... everyone knows you have to rinse before loading.... bless his heart.... he may be a husband, father, successful business man. But he is still that 9 year old little boy stuffing his mess away. So the entire contents got emptied and scrubbed in the sink, and then reloaded and rewashed.

Babe, I love you, thank you for cleaning up the kitchen!

Makes my Monday

Haven't done a "makes my Monday" in a while because I honestly haven't come across anything that really makes my life wonderful . . .. but today was a day of the Moby Wrap... seriously.... little man loves it.. from the second his chunky monkey legs get into place he is the happiest most content baby .... he mostly sleeps... but even when he is wide awake he is just calm and peaceful and taking in the sights and sounds of this new found perspective..... and since he loves it so much... and they retail for almost $40.00 I decided I needed to have a few back ups .... but needed to save as much mullah as possible since I'm trying to stay home full time with him.... so I made my own....

honestly.... its about 5 yards of material... something stretchy and "breathable" ..... cut about 2 feet wide.... I like to have extra to spread out and around my arms and his little chubbyness..... so.... now... after much cutting and an attempting hem job.. (dont waste your time) I have 4 wraps... and depending on my mood or the weather... it's nice for a girl to have some choices .... if you dont have one... I highly suggest it.. but save the money and make your own

Siesta Sundays

There is nothing in the world that I love more then a quiet Sunday morning spent with the most adorable boys I know (hubs and little man) . . . some yummy blueberry pancakes and a steaming hot cup of coffee did the trick.

I was all about having a lazy relaxing day, a family day, spent enjoying each others company and doing nothing except what we wanted to do. . . .my rediculous urge to organize did not cooperate.

With little man's first morning nap, I went into the linen closet to grab a clean towell and before I knew it the entire closet was emptied out and I was refolding its entire contents and organizing each self!!!

for his afternoon nap I went out into the garage to throw away the recycling (I'm super proud of myself and my new recycling ways) and realized the garage was a mess.... before I knew it.. the entire contents was out in the driveway and I had bitten off entirely more then I could chew

all in the freaking hot 97degrees San Antonio Heat !!!! Yikes.... to say I'm exhausted is an understatement... sitting here on the couch ... not moving a muscle afraid that some other horror of disorganization will catch my eye and I'll be forced to do something else

so much for a siesta ..... maybe next week
