Having two kids 20 months apart and under 3 years old right now is difficult for me. Is it because Caiden is bored and whiney if he isn't getting into something and making a mess or attempting to break things? Or is it because Addysin copies what he does to be cute and get attention? Or because they are both picky eaters? Or because they enjoy hitting and pushing each other? Or because Addysin wont let Caiden play with ANYTHING so he's always bored and looking for trouble? Or because they are both still in diapers? Or because they depend on my for EVERYTHING? I really love being a mother and I LOVE Addysin and Caiden, but I dont get much done usually and a simple "to do list" can take me weeks to complete. Today just went so well...
- 8:00 Woke up, didn't feel like a train wreck like most my mornings. Thats always good.
- Kids ate breakfast, I cleaned main floor.
- Vacuumed and dusted upstairs which are two rare occurances. The kids were happy the whole time, also rare.
- 12:00 Fed kids lunch then bathed them and cleaned bathroom while they played in water.
- 1:00 After Caiden was pushed into the bed post and got a small goose egg on his forehead, they were put down for naps and went to sleep instantly.
- I caught up on laundry while watching "what not to wear". I hate Laundry, and LOVE having it done. Also love having a TV in our room for this reason.
- I finally made myself presentable at 3:00.
- Kids woke up after a two hour nap. Gave them snacks, got ready for pictures.
- 4:00 Took them to photography studio and only a couple minutes late! Also rare. Then they surprised my with their cooperation and happiness. They were sooooo cute.
- After Caiden's pictures, Chris took Caiden home so I didn't have to deal with him (He's a handful. Little wiggle worm that doesn't want to be held and wants to explore everything). Thank you Chris.
- Addysin and I went grocery shopping.
- 6:00 Came home, made dinner. Once again Caiden happily entertained himself. (I want to add that Addysin ate everything I put in front of her today. She is the worst eater and meal time is the worst part of my day.)
- 7:30 Caiden asleep, neighbor babysits him.
- 8:00 Addysin and I watch Chris play in a softball game.
- Addysin falls asleep on the way home.
- 9:20 Me time. Best part of my day.
If only everyday could go so smoothly (minus the part where I got a mad at Addysin for bruising Caiden's face on picture day) I would be the most happy and content mother. Ohhhhh, if life could be so easy......

ah, motherhood. doesn't get the appreciation it deserves in this world... but you're doing great! haven't talked to you in FOREVER! how have you been? how did your surgery go? do your sinuses feel any better?
So I have to ask what you do about your picky eaters because meal time is the most stressful part of my day too, one of us usually ends up in tears and lately it has been me, I feel like I have failed as a mother because all my kid wants to eat is grahmcrakers! Lovwe you and miss you, can't wait the to see the pics!!!
