Rant Ahead....You've been warned!

I am tired!

My husband is working for the second night in a row.....LATE!

I get a phone call at 9:30 pm. "Babe, it's going to be a late night." I flippin hate these phone calls.

Lil Man hasn't seen his dad for two days except for an hour this morning at breakfast and 30 mins or so tonight at dinner.

Did I mention I am tired?

It's only Tuesday.

That's all I've got!

I'm actually too tired to even rant.....maybe another day.

Nonstop..... all day long

Lil Man and I hit the ground running this morning. He slept in until 8:30 which is abnormal but he had a rough night again so I guess he was still tired.

The Hubby left early to go fishing with my dad so it was just my baby and me this morning. We got breakfast knocked out and then went for a walk with Jake. AFTER, I saved a baby turtle from Jake. ( I looked out the back door and saw Jake digging at something. I just thought he was digging a hole in the grass so I went out to stop him. He wouldn't stop so I went closer and saw a baby turtle on the ground. The poor thing was huddling in his shell.)

When we got back from our walk, Lil Man was playing in the backyard. I was just sitting there chilling not doing anything. Then I get this bright idea to pull out the push mower and cut the grass. We have a riding mower but I don't have a clue how to work it. SO..........our backyard isn't that big, so I pushed it. About 2/3's done, Lil Man wants me to hold him. What's a mommy to do???? Leave the grass half ass ed cut or finish cutting????

I picked up Lil Man, threw him on my hip, and finished cutting with grass. Yea Yea Yea.... I know. Probably not the safest decision I could have made but I was very attentive to what I was doing. But cutting grass while holding a toddler.....NOT SO EASY!! My neighbors probably thought I had lost my mind.

Lil Man and I then played on our fresh cut grass until his little temper got the best of him and we went inside. Lunch was taken are of; The Hubby came home from fishing. It was nap time!!

1.5 hrs later....nap over; MIL and FIL are here ready to go to a local Memorial Day celebration. Bands, local artists/crafts, and food. Met up with some friends and hung out. Went to dinner and rolled up back at the house around 9ish.

Hubby is still working. :(

BUT.......Monday off for Memorial Day and Friday is date night. We have plans with two other couples. And the best part.... we all have sitters lined up for ALL night!!!! LOL I'm excited just thinking about it. We don't' have a curfew and can stay out as long as our hearts desire. Grandparents are keeping all the little ones so we know they're safe, it's free, and it's game on.

Melt Down

It's have been one of those days in our household. I'm fairly certain that it's due to lack of sleep....lack of sleep for Lil Man that is.

Lil Man..... man oh man.....or should I say child oh child.

You have been one difficult little boy today. You must know daddy is getting ready to dip out of town for a few days. I guess you're just getting mommy prepared in advance.

So your daddy is putting you to bed early and giving mommy one last night "free" before he leaves. You woke up a happy boy then as the day has progressed your temperament has steadily gone down hill.

Here's to a good night's sleep and the two of us having a good week! Cause I still love you!! (AND MOMMY WANTS NO DRAMA PLEASE.....PRETTY PLEASE)

Fun Family Time

We had a BLAST at Disney last week.

We got to Florida late Sunday night. Monday we just hung out at the house and let the kids play and swim.

Tuesday the fun began. We headed for Magic Kingdom around 10:30ish. Let me just say getting to the park was work in itself. Packing for kids....(and we only have 1) it's not the easiest job. Holly and Philip have two little ones so they had even more to worry about taking.

The Hubby and I decided we wanted to ride Pirates of the Caribbean. Lil Man was on board with us. Maybe ....... this was not the most child appropriate ride we could have chosen. Lil Man did good though.... only had one little scary moment.

Here's the picture as we are arriving on the ferry to actually get to the park.



Holly and and her Lil Man on the ferry ride.


Our handsome fellas doing daddy duty. Thank goodness for nice strollers. The children spent a good deal of time in them that's for sure.

Waiting on the train to arrive to take a ride around the park. This was Lil Man's style. He didn't care about any of the rides per say...... but put him on a train, truck or boat and he's good to go.

"All aboard!"

We had heard that the firework display was awesome. On the first day, we really had no plans to stay and watch. We were going to come back the next night. Well..... slight change of plans. We were at the park later than we thought we would be so we just ate dinner and stayed for the show. And a show it was.

Here's a picture of the castle as it was changing colors throughout the firework show. AWESOME!!

My Lil Man and and I watching the show. Can you see how tired the poor little guy is? I was so proud of how good he was during the day.

Our family shot for the day. Lil Man wouldn't let me put him down for a photo with just him and Mickey and Minnie. What you don't see is what was to come!! Minnie got fresh with my man. :) She gave him a big ole kiss!! Ha Ha

This is how Lil Man returned to the house at the end of the day. I think it was about 10:00pm when we rolled in. I got him out of the car and laid him on his bed. I then proceeded to change his diaper and put on his pj's...... all without him waking up. My baby was pooped!!

WELL RESTED AND READY TO DO IT AGAIN!!



Our second day consisted of Animal Kingdom. We thought the kids would enjoy this because of all the animals they could see.

The Hubby and Lil Man posing for me. This was as we were headed into a 3D show about bugs. Lil Man and I made it for 3 minutes before he got spooked, and I had to take him out.

We went for a safari ride. This is what our "bus" looked like.

My two loves looking at some animals.

"What's going on back there??"

Our family shot for the day. Yes..... my child and I are laughing like loons. I think we were getting a little delirious at this point. Two days of this makes for long days!

But fun we did have!!!

We took Thursday "off" and let everyone (adults included) relax. We hung out at the house again for the day, swam and napped.........even the adults.

Friday......SeaWorld. I will tell about that soon.
