School...is only cool when you get a snack and a nap!!!

So as many of you know I am in school for my Bachelors in Elementary Education. Come August I will be in my Bachelors program and only have 2 years left..YAY!! Its just getting to the month of August that is killing me!!!. Right now for some unknown reason I am taking Geology and Cultural Diversity...now the diversity class is understandable..but geology..seriously...I don't even remember learning this crap!! Ridiculous!! So the past 3 weeks have been hell on earth with all the homework and papers to write on earthquakes, rocks, minerals and plate tectonic movement...exactly..thats what i said!

In order to get anything accomplished I have to make it very short and sweet and hope I get a good grade OR I have to rely on my child like husband to watch the kids and pray I don't kill everyone!! Today I was writing a paper on earthquakes ..interesting I know.....I was almost finished when he got home from work...2 of my 3 children had been asleep for a while so I was able to get a lot done....however.... the last 300 words or so of the paper took me almost just as long..due to the fact that Brandon went in the bedroom with no children to watch television....and then gripe about wanting to go to HomeDepot...

I really would hate to be my teacher right now...I think I repeated myself about the same plate tectonic theory at least 3 times and there is no telling what else amde it into my awesome paper....it was earth shattering Im sure!!! Now...I breathe!

Laundry: The Love Hate Relationship

         So...I am a stay at hom mom as most of you know you would think that I would be able to keep my home in an orderly manner and the laundry done...WRONG...for some reason this is my biggest struggle on a day to day basis!! I do have 3 children to add to my mix of daily chores and they are a chore all by themselves... If I had a dollar for every time I said "pick up the toys" or "clean up your plate" or "stop" I would be filthy rich!! But oh well....so back to my dilemma....Am I the only one who seems to have this problem? I just can't find the energy to constantly keep moving all day long...It may be the fact that I am anemic..but thats not really an excuse..My bedroom looks like my closet threw up and my laundry room looks like it did as well....ahhh..its overtaking my house!!

On another note, I took my children, all 3, to the mall today...not a great idea! I need some new clothes really bad and was attempting to look for some great deals, Cade screamed nearly the entire time, Macy kept whining about hungry she was and Rylee was just, well...Rylee..enough said..... I found 3 whole things and none of them were on sale!!! UGH...not a good shopping day!! On the way home Macy informed that if I didn't stop and get her something to eat that she was going to die. I said "no you won't, you had a snack" she followed by saying.."Mom, Ive been starving for a second...alot " she doesn't even know what a second is, but anyway..I finally stopped and got her and Ry something to eat. As we drove away from the window at Chick Fil A she said, " whew, I thought you were never going to feed us again cause you didn't love us"  I just sat there and contemplated her smart remark...and then informed her I did love them, but we do not need to eat out everytime we leave the house, she did not agree with me.

It was an eventful day to say the least, and now back to sewing....and the dreaded laundry saga:)

The life of a 4yr old.....its a hard one!!!

     As I sit here and listen to my husband do dishes and yell at the dog, that is chasing my 2yr old, and Cade screaming because he is fighting sleep, I can't help but laugh. I wonder what some people would think if they could be a fly on our wall for just a minute...that would probably be enough for one person. The things that the girls do and say on a daily basis is something only a mother would know of.

     This morning we were getting Macy ready for school and Brandon, me and rylee were all on the bed watching Macy get herself dressed (very interesting at times) she did a great job putting all of her clothing on the right way and right side out!! When it came time for her to put her boots on she was putting them on the wrong feet, Brandon reached down to help her and tell her that "this boot goes on the other foot", Macy quickly turned and informed her father that " I am 4yr old, I know how to put on shoes, thank you" I tried not to laugh because she was being sassy and we are trying not to encourage it, but I could hardly hold it in....my cheeks were hurting from holding my breath and squeezing them so that I didn't burst into it.

      Everyday is a new day and a new conversation with Macy, we never know what she will say or when she will decide to say it!!! We ahve become very careful in our choice of words and phrases in the last few months, only because she is like a sponge and soaks up everything she hears or sees, rathre it be on television or wherever.

Starting a blog....seriously!

After a long ay of changing diapers, picking up toys repeatedly and feeding mouths every 5 minutes, I decided that it would probaly do me a little good to write all this stuff down. Some days are better than others but all in all they are always fun:) Macy and Rylee have the funniest things to say and watching them play is an activity for me within itself! Hopefully on a daily basis I will post everything I can about my Kids, my Cakes and the Chaos that consumes me:)
