From the mouth of babes...

So we are in the foodstore today picking last minute things up for the birthday bbq we are having for Baby Kit. I had Sam and Baby Kit in one of those carts with the car in the front. When we were waiting to check out, there was a woman in front us who had a rather large rear and she was sporting a lovely pair of lycra pants - never a flattering combo. When all of a sudden you hear this little voice...
"You have a BIG OLE BUTT." The lady turns around and looks at me. "Samantha, you shouldn't tell Momma that she has a big ole butt," I said quickly to Sam, trying to divert the attention to my big ole butt. "No Momma, not you," Sam clarified, "THAT LADY has a big ole butt!" The lady then looked down at Sam and of course she didn't stop there. "It's HUGE!" Sam shouted. "It a BIG OLE BUTT!" Luckily at that point the lady had paid but before she left, she turned to me and said, "Luckily we are both leaving now." I just smiled. What else was there to say? Once the lady left the store, all the cashiers nearby and the other customers burst out laughing. "From the mouth of babes," I smiled and shrugged, quickly making my exit. Friday, June 24

I can't wait for work tonight and to get the heck away from my family! I love them - but they are driving me NUTS. Lately I feel like that ALL I do from the moment I wake until the moment I go to sleep is run around and clean up after everyone. I mean the kids are kids, but it is Ben too. I know it is the role of the mom/wife but sometimes it is harder than other times. I feel like a slave sometimes. I could list all the stupid little things that have me frazzled right now, but ndividually they just sound trite. I don't like feeling short witht he kids and I have been. And then I feel terribly guilty for being short. Then the fear starts in that I am going to scar them for life because I yelled at Kit when he pulled out all my china when I ran to the toliet to pee.
I just told Ben that I need a break and that I am going to take an hour or two soon just for me. I do not think I have done that in about 4 years. Maybe I will go for a walk or something. I think I just want a few minutes where I am not responsible for anything. At least tonight my work is mindless - physically busy sometimes, but mindless. I can shut my brain off and go into automatic pilot mode. Boy, I sound self pitying, don't I - or maybe just bitchy... Sunday, June 19
Summer is here...

I am I am running, so I may not be as good about blogging. Too much fun things to do outside with the kiddos! Swimming has been a blast. Baby Kit has finally taken to the water and Samantha is now off swimming on her own (supervised own...).
Kit is enjoying having his big boy bed in his room as well as his crib. He pretty much sleeps in the crib but occasionally likes to nap in the bed. He does enjoy when I get in with him and we cuddle. He is so freaking cute! He will put the covers over me and kiss me like he is tucking me in. Then he whips them away and babbles like he is trying to get me up. He will play this game for quite awhile! Kit is also now babbling ALL the time, only now he has real words in with the babble. Like Sam, one of his first words/expressions is THANK YOU! LOVE THAT! I am glad that somehow we taught our kids to be polite. Sam is excited to start camp this week. She is so smart sometimes it freaks me out. She has expressed an interest about how the human body works, so we went to the library and got some kids books on anatomy. Both Ben and I have been reading them. She now just spews info. My mom made a comment about her head being empty and Sam corrected her that her brain is in her head and that her brain controls her body. Sam was explaining to Morgan (neighbor) that when you breath the oxygen fills you lungs and then the blood carries it to the heart where it goes all around your body. You the breath you the junk cabin monoxide (carbin monoxide). But that is ok cause the trees breath that. I mean WTF, I do not think I knew that at 3. I think Ben and I will really need to make sure that thru out school, that Sam is constantly being challenged. Sam has also started showing signs of having talent in art. She will sit with a pen and paper and draw for ages. She is hardly Picasso, but it is very clear (to people beside us) what she is drawing. She can draw flowers, sun, balloon, heck even a rocket... We were thinking of getting her involved with something like dance or gymnastics - just to get her out there with something fun, but now we are thinking maybe art class. I need to see if I can find something. Is it obvious how proud I am of the kiddos? Ben is still waiting on his promotion. With the merger of the companies, the union now has everything held up. There is another equivalent position at another location, so Ben called his district manager to talk. The district mgr is a really nice and honest guy. He used to be my district mgr too many moons ago before I had kids... They talked for awhile, Whichever way Ben wants to go, he pretty much has it. The other location needs A LOT of work whereas Ben's store is really nice and runs well. But the other store needs him now and his store probably won't promote for a month or two. And if he took the other job, he would not be able to transfer back for at least a year. So he has to decided what he wants to do. I have decided, on another subject, that I am tired of being overweight. I looked at some photos recently I was like WHO THE F-CK is that FATSO and then realized - ooppss that is me. I am not ready to give in to being a fat mom and the fat chick. I then coincidentally spoke to a friend who I haven't in awhile who did a specific program to lose weight and lost over 100 lbs! She looks great! So I go some info and am going to try it. Can't/won't go into any more until I see how it works. But I would really, really like to see my feet again on a regular basis. I also want to teach my kids by example to lead a healthy life. So that is my resolution. Peace! Sunday, June 12

Aside from the traveling part, our trip was nice. Sam LOVED my sister. OMG, Aunt Robyn this and Aunt Robyn that... it was really cute. Baby Kit was not such a happy camper. He was cuttin teeth and EXTREMELY clingy... Mama up, Mama up, Mama up, was pretty much it for the weekend, lol.
Their house is really nice and they were very accomating. They have a sweet dog that adored the kids and was very protective of them. He was ok when I went upstairs to check on them, but was not so thrilled when Ben went up. I forget the breed - it is some weird, obscure German watch dog... We visited a kid's museum that had a butterfly farm on it and all sorts of touch me kind of things for the kids. And if any of you ever visit Raleigh Durham, NC you MUST eat at a little diner called ELMO's. That place was GREAT and VERY kid friendly. They make the greatest humus ever and this WONDERFUL dessert called Banana pudding.... YUM! It was nice getting to spend some time with my sister. We are very different, but despite our personality differences - I do love her (even if she can be the wack-a-doodle...). We promised to stay in touch better - so we will see. Robyn's husband is nice, but... he is a little weird. He FREAKED out cause Sam broke a green crown at Elmo's. He yelled at her, took the crowns away and made her cry. Ben and I let it go, but Ben said jokingly to Robyn that J must have had a traumatic experience with a green crown as a kid - to get the point across. I also took Sam to the side at the restaurant to make sure she was ok. Also, he was a little weird controlling with my sister in that if she would be saying something to me - like we were having our own conversation, he would but in with something not quite what we were talking about - and it be said in a final tone like it WAS the only opinion. He also made a comment to Ben that he hopes for a promotion so that Robyn can stop worklng and just do some little volunteer work which she is much more suited for. Like is my sister a mental case that can't handle working???? ANd then finally, he was a little TOO frank about how he hates my mother and what a spineless, no self respect, self asbored, selfish loser he thinks she is. Even if he thinks those things and says them to my sister, uh, I think it was was litte weird. I mean as much as I dislike my MIL, I would never say anything negative to Ben's brother. KWIM????? Then there were the flights.... UGH! We were scheduled to leave Philly at 3:25 on Friday, well due to the weather we did not leave until 6:30. Did I mention, we got there are 1:30? It was hot, crowded and it was challenging. Luckliy since we got there early, we were able to get a spot by the window and camo out. A very nice girl name Laura, about 18, was sitting next to us and she let Sam sketch with her. Sam was SOOO happy to be coloring with t a BIG GIRL, lol. Speaking of drawing, Sam has taken a real love to it. She will sit for an hour or more with a marker or a pen and some paper. She can also now draw things that are easily recognizable and very good for a 3 year old. We were thinking of maybe dance or gymnastics in the fall for Sam, but now we are thinking of art lessons. Now onto the boy. We have set up his big boy bed because all of a sudden he has taken a liking to blankets. Well yesterday when I put him down for his nap, he screamed and screamed. When I went in, he pointed to his big boy bed, which is right next to the crib. I put him in it to see what happend... he rolled over and went to sleep. *Sigh* My baby is getting big soooooo fast! Interesting news... we finally got the settlement for our lawsuit! WOO HOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! NICE! And I am glad that the hospital had to take responsibilty for using latex on me when they knew I am allergic. Bastards. Like my birth experience with Sam wasn't hard enough after 26 hours of labor and an emergency c-section? And finally, Ben and I are going on a date on Monday night. Yippee!!!!! Ok folks, it's time to go play.... Oh and can I ass thatr Meeting the Fockers is one of the freaking funniest movies that I have EVER seen??? LMAO! Friday, June 3

last night. The other girl was a NO SHOW. So I ran my freaking ass off. Today I feel like I was run over by a truck, but it was worth it cause I walked with $212.00 for 5 hours of work. With the extra shifts I picked up this week, I have made I have made $555.00 for 4 night's work - totaling 23 hours - not bad eh???? Yeah, I'm bragging shamelessly....
