Comment on this post & let me know when you complete it..... I can't wait to see your answers! 

Pressure

I put to much Parenting pressure on myself sometimes. I mean when I think about it I know I'm not alone but I hate the pressure. lol

Here are a few examples of when the "pressure" comes in......................................

1. If I don't play with them for a long period of time- I mean what is the actual time limit that you should play with your kids? If I play with them for 10 mins right before bed time or earlier in the day I feel like a failure b/c I'm doing it just to please myself to make myself feel like super mom and if I play with them for more than an hour I get frustrated because Madison ALWAYS tells me what to do and how to do it and oh my goodness, the whole lets play barbie drives me nuts with the whole play talking and walking. 
2. Giving in to all of their "wants". Mallorie wants me to hold her all the time or she just wants to be under me 24/7. I mean I try not to give in to all of her wants but I hate to hear her cry and it gives me a headache  so I give in ALL the time. Madison always wants something out of the store no matter where we are. Shoot we could be at a car wash and she's going to say she wants air freshener. Lol... I think you get where I'm going with her but yeah. I'm working on not giving in so much. Well, not as much as I should but I want to:)
3. When I have that I'm tired attitude with them and I'm just so frustrated. After the king has gotten on my nerves about not helping out sometimes or I have heard "mommy" way to many times. My mommy dearest starts kicking in and I feel like I'm having an outer body experience because of all the things that's happening around me so I am really trying to work on the whole being frustrated thing but ummmm its so difficult. 
4. I hardly ever take them to the park b/c I think creepy people hang out at parks and I think that maybe someone is watching me or something. Weird I know but hey don't blame it on me blame it on Criminal Minds and Law & Order: SVU... HA!

Can you feel the pressure:)

The Queen

A Mommy Break

It is 7:27 pm and the girls are asleep..... I am sitting in my room with the light off and the girls are sound asleep next to me... They've actually been sleep for quite a while and I don't plan on waking them up:-/ I know when hubbs comes home hes going to be upset but I just wanted a break to just be on the internet, read blogs, BLOG,  etc. without being interrupted. I didn't take the chance to do house work which I know needs to be done, I got a mommy break and I don't feel bad about it. I'm enjoying looking at their sweet little faces while they sleep while praying they don't wake up.... hahahaha..... The crazy part about this whole thing is that it's all most 8:00 and I know for a fact I'm going to regret this later:-)

Tootles

I'm Back:-)))))

OMG-oodness!!!! It has been such a long time and yes 1 whole entire year but I'm back and ready to blog my little heart out. So much has been going on.... Good:-) AND Bad:-(..... BUT what I've been through is all apart of this little thing we call life; I'm learning to embrace this thing called life b/c you live and you learn and its a growing process. When I was a child I couldn't wait to be an adult... Now that I'm an adult I'm like Lord can I start over and try this thing ALL over again! But no he's allowed me to accept alot of things and embrace them and realized that this is what life is about and its not going to be perfect. Anywho, I am excited about life, my new laptop, and blogging. As some of you read my blog, you may not agree or understand me but one thing you should know about me is that.......{{{I'm a Realist}}} SO, Welcome to the thoughts of tina!
