My ass got lazy

This was Paul's weekend to work and its my last night alone(until Thursday) and realized I didn't do a damn thing this weekend.  I mean I did...I think...but it doesn't feel that way!! 

I mean I did some laundry(I'll finish the rest tomorrow), I cooked dinner all 3 nights(if pre-made freezer meals and leftovers count), and I picked up the house.  I played with our 4 1/2 month old(the other 2 are at their moms this week), took the dog on some walks and made a grocery list for homemade baby food prep!!  Even with this list I feel like I didn't do enough, even though I was tired at the end of every day. 

You see, my boyfriend(aka, the perfect man, even when he drives me nuts) works his butt off so I can stay home with our son and his other 2 kids when we have them.  I love being a stay at home mom, and I wouldn't change it for the world.  I just feel like he does it all sometimes and I sit around twirling my thumbs.

After last week I feel like I needed a weekend off, and now that tomorrow is Tuesday I feel like I have a whole new list of things to get started on.  Even writing this makes me feel a little better, like I didn't waste the WHOLE weekend. 

We have 2 weeks until our vacation to Minnesota,  then schools starts when we get back.  We are also trying to buy a house.  It's gonna be a busy month so I guess it's ok if I take a step back every once in a while and feel lazy(as long as I don't sit long enough to get a layer of dust on me).

So now that my whining is over(part of why I started a blog, like an online diary) I'm going to pull up my big girl panties and realize that I do what I do because it makes Paul happy(coming home to a cooked meal and a clean house) and I actually love doing it.  Shocker I know, and for all those friends reading this and laughing, yes I became a domestic goddess and I love it so stuff it!!

Thank you babe for loving me for me and letting me be a mommy!!

Winter to Summer in t-minus 30 seconds

Lazy day in the sun(shade) is about as good as it gets.  Not a care in the world just playing until you're so worn out you don't fight going to bed!  It's half way through May and this was the hottest its been all year.

You see, I live in Kansas(the good ole Midwest) and we usually have warm weather by March/April, warm as in 70s.  However this year the weather is up and down almost on a daily basis.  Even had snow flurries one morning then sunny and 60 by the afternoon and it snowed in May which is just not cool!!  In the past the weather slowly warms up over a few months to prepare us for the hot dry summers.  This year we were just kinda thrown into the hot weather without warning.  Makes it a little harder to adjust but we enjoy it all the same.

It's finally that time a year that the kids can p,ah outside daily(unless its raining really bad).  One, it wears them out more so no fighting to go to bed.  Second, they get better exercise when playing outside.  Only have so much room indoors for them to run around.

Summer means its sidewalk chalk, bike riding, 4-wheeling(kid style), bbqing time!!  The best time for having friends and family over.  To go to the park and explore, go to the pool, or put up the slipping slide in the backyard.

Summer has arrived!!!
