May I have some privacy please?

One of my favorite lines out of the movie Crooklyn from the mother of 5 kids w/ a husband-- "I can't even go to the bathroom without 6 people hanging off my tits!" Lol..... Every time I hear that I laugh because its a true statement.

Sometimes I just want to go the bathroom without Madison walking in... Even when I lock the door she goes and gets a knife from her tea party set and unlocks the door! She'll come in and say I need to brush my teeth, use the potty, or she'll just come in and ask me what I'm doing and will try to have a conversation. My husband will do the same thing.... He says he can't hold "it" so he'll come in and use the bathroom. We live in an older home and it only has one bathroom so it gets a little frustrating (by the way- I can't wait to move at the end of March. YAY). Now, when I'm home alone with the girls its even more frustrating. I try to sneak a shower in but I can't, someone either wakes up etc. so while they are awake I get her bouncy and put it in front of the bathroom door so I can see her/ hear her but she doesn't like her bouncy so she cries the whole time and I have to rush my shower or I have to keep yelling through the shower to tell Madison to put her sisters binky in her mouth or talk and play with her sister until I get out. It's been a while since I had a new born in the house so I forgot how hard it is to get some time in the shower. Sometimes just sometimes I want to take a bath or shower without being interrupted with smells, 3 year old conversations, or a baby crying. hahaha.... The funniest thing to me out of all of it is that as soon as Madison hears the water stop she opens the door and asks if me if I'm finished and can we play with toys.... The Life of a Mommy can sometimes be hilarious and annoying at the same time! Lol

Going out with a 3 1/2 year old & a 3 month old...

While I would be out I would feel like I was going to lose my mind... I would be driving and Madison would be buggin about something and then the baby would start crying. And when the baby starts crying I try turning the music up or putting the binky in her mouth but nothing really works b/c I'm driving. It gets so bad sometimes, I would tell Madi to unhook the top of her seat belt in her carseat to put the binky back in her mouth. Now, for those of you who want to call the child protective services on me; she's still buckled in its just the part across the chest that she loosens and then she puts it back together. Hey! Desperate times calls for Desperate Measures:-/

Today it happened again but this time when all else failed I just let her cry and she cried herself to sleep... I realized I can't keep trying to do so much while I'm driving b/c I've almost crashed a couple of times...Lol

When I found out I was pregnant with Mallorie, I knew that one day I would have to go out alone with her and Madison but I always felt like I wouldn't be able to handle it AND sometimes I feel like I can't, even when I'm out with them. Slowly but surely I'm conquering going out with both of my girls and it feels good. I'm almost a Pro!

What a Friend I have in Jesus!!!!

I am a 25 year old mother and wife and sometimes life can get overwhelming, challenging, and flat out crazy. I began to get very overwhelmed. I could barely get out of bed to play with Madison b/c my mood was that bad but I would still make it a point to play with her at some point within a day. My husband was spending less time with me and that was also taking a toll on me (he's doing better by the way) I still love my husband he is a Great man but I will honestly say I was being neglected and it hurt me. I don't have many friends and the one's I do have we don't go out or talk as much so to make a long story short I was feeling very neglected, alone, scared, depressed, and so on.

As the days went on I would get in the shower and pray to Jesus b/c I know he listens and he answers prayer!

I GAVE IT TO GOD!

I am doing BETTER I refuse to allow the devil to still my joy, my marriage, and my mind..... I love my family and I know that I am loved but as a child the devil new how to get to me and it was always my mind. I've had a lot going on in my life since I was 3 years old but I always seem to bounce back and that's how I know that God has a plan for my life. I will NOT let the devil win!

God's word says that he will never leave me nor forsake me, so, I know he's with me....

This song really encouraged me.... What A friend we have in Jesus, all our sins and griefs to bear, what a privilege it is to carry. Everything to God in prayer!

I will leave with this scripture....

Isaiah 41:10- Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed. for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand

My Kid says the Darnedest Things

1.) Mommy I went to the potty and my pee was yellow and my boo boo was black

2.) With a very concerned look on her face she told her father that veggie tales don't have arms

3.) Mom daddy's car is dirty and he needs to clean it, I'm scared to clean it so he needs to clean it

These are the funniest things that she said today.... Just thought I would share:-)
