am I really saying this....

Today, on the way home from Metro-hell, as my girlfriend would call it...(Metrotown) I listened to my kids yell and scream at each other....one wasn't listening to the others story, the other was singing too loud..I imagined what my shopping trips to the mall used to be like, before kids.....I know that some will say, because I have sometimes said it myself..."why the hell do you bring kids to the mall"...well, sometimes we have to get shit done...and the babysitters don't appear out your handbag when you need to run errands....I was hoping for a short trip, total joke, two hours later, I am home, and writing this blog entry.....

I really tried my best to imagine what it really was like shopping before kids...getting ready without kids, going anywhere without kids....the level of stress that I feel before I even step foot out the door is craziness, its like pulling hair out to get them out the door, and when you think you have one ready, the other has taken her jacket and shoes off, and wants to watch Mickey Mouse...FML...

I am not going to write about how much I love my kids, we ALL love our kids, to death, but today, in that instant, I really wanted to rewind, to a day when it wasn't such a dilemma to go out for dinner, to make impromptu plans with friends, go pee, or other things for that matter in the bathroom, without someone asking you what that was in your underwear...to wash your hands without having to wash someone else's at the same time...just, to pop out, for a minute....without taking 45 minutes to get out the door....

Yes, it was my choice to have kids, and I know you all have thoughts like this too, I just needed to write it out...like Fat Amy says....she is just saying what the skinny bitches will say behind her back! Thank F'ing god, for a cold beer when I got home....

Have a great night folks!

LEGO

L- ovely
E- xciting
G- lorious
O- bsessive 

Noah received a slew of LEGO for his Birthday and Christmas...at one point I thought about how the heck he was going to complete and build all of it, and I dreaded him asking me to help him everyday.....until...something happened......I became obsessed.

I will admit that the other night, before he went to bed, I snuck a gift bag outside his door that housed a few LEGO sets....I was guilty...I was going to build his LEGO, without him....

I must say that putting together the vehicles, and men, with all the matching accessories is AMAZING! and totally relaxing...we just finished a police car and a construction truck...there were quite a few times he said "mom, let me help!"....I am already eyeing the ambulance!

Could this be my new relaxation and meditation technique?

Sunshine makes me happy!

The sunshine is something magical...it sure puts the pep in my step, makes me want to sing, and dance, and smile!! It makes me happy to be alive! Everything smells better, tastes better and feels better in the sunshine. It makes me want to buy tulips and hyacinth, makes me, who am I kidding, I did, as soon as the first ray of sunshine poked through the clouds! Everything is prettier and more lovely in the sunshine, including myself......I seemed to be in a real funk..the New Year started off with such a fizzle...

Even though my windows look a mess, and the dust that covers my house is on magnification, there is nothing, nothing, like sunshine. Is it possible that it makes me want to do even more things that are on Pinterest? I hear it is sticking around for another week! I have a few jobs I want to get done....including something metallic...

I hope everyone has an amazing weekend in the sunshine, hey, even chasing my daughter around at my sons soccer practice will be better in the sunshine!

I think I like the word sunshine...
