I'm changing my name...

Do you have those days as a mommy, those days that it seems like everything your child/children says, is said in their whinny voice.  Those days when you tell them like 50 times to not do something, or to stop doing something, yet they still think it is a good idea to do it anyway?  You wonder how they are going to survive the world when the tiniest cut requires 30 band aids, and yet at the same time their brother/sister can beat them senseless and somehow they keep going back for more.  Every toy is scattered about the house, you can't go to the bathroom alone, or with out them knocking on the door every two seconds.  Your are just done, and here it comes one of them walks up to you tears in their eyes, bottom lip puckered out, telling you in the whinny est voice you have ever heard that so and so did this.  That is it, I am changing my name my name is no longer "mommy" anything you have to say to her cannot be said to me because well that is not my name anymore!

This is when my oldest looks at me from another room, and calls out to his sibling "call her Alishia, her name is always Alishia" that's it I can't hold it in......I start cracking up laughing and everything else seems well silly,  not important, and look we still have time to make the most of the day!

The kids really are smarter than you, they can control your moods with more accuracy than any prescription drug, and at the same time know what mommy needs to make the day a "good day"


I normally write on these prompts the day before, or the day of. My computer and Blogger were apparently having a spat.  I was terrified the whole thing would end up in one of those nasty dragged out divorces, but oh happy day they seemed to have fixed their problems! Maybe some much needed therapy, or maybe a night on the town, who knows how it was done I am just glad it was. So I didn't really have the time. But this one did follow along with Prompt #3 Write about a time your child was on to you.

Kia Sorento

Jerm and I looked at one of these when we were looking to buy a new car when little Boogie wasn't born yet. I didn't realize back then how great these cars were! I will definitely be looking at these cars again, when it is time to get that car to replace the "other" van. Hey there is a limited time that you could win an Asus Eee Pad Transformer Prime android tablet, so hurry up and try! http://www.bedifferentactnormal.com/2012/07/my-kia-sorento-summer-road-trip-ipad-3.html

What do my kiddos do when I am crafting...well..

Today when I was picking up some crafting supplies at Micheal's I ran into some wooden craft projects for kids.  I knew that I would wait until Boogie took a nap to work on anything, but what about Bubby (Monkey was at a friends house, Babydoll (was at her mommy's house)  Well these wooden crafts seemed like something a 6 yr old could do without hovering supervision, so I let him pick one out.  It only cost $3.00, but they had some more simple ones for only a $1.00 a piece.

Isn't that too cute it is a movable dragon that the kids can paint themselves!

Bubby busy at work!

My kids never like getting their picture taken.

Roar!!!
