Dirty Jobs

As I was cleaning this morning I started thinking about Mike Rowe. Seriously. I know that sounds weird, but it's true!

Think about it.

Being a mom is the most dirtiest job EVER!!!! When children are babies, they poop, pee and spit up on you. And when those babies are teeny tiny you catch pee in your hands(or in your face if they are boys!) when you change their diapers because almost everytime you open that diaper they go. When they get to toddler-hood you try to catch their puke in your hand because they don't know to go to the toilet and it's just a reaction for you. When potty training comes around they pee AND poop in their clothes...guess who gets to clean THAT up!?And if you are a momma to boys you get EXTRA points because they pee EVERRRRRYYYYWHERE...in the toilet, on the toilet, around the toilet, on the floor by the toilet, down the shower curtain, down the cabinet......I wish they knew how to control that thing! Kids make a mess when they eat, even when they try not to. They make a mess when they take a bath. They spit toothepaste everywhere. They pick their nose and wipe boogers on you when you aren't looking. Just to name a few...ha!

Don't get me wrong, I LURVE my dirty job, it just needs to get the credit it deserves!

Mike, call me!

Oh Baby!

Keltie made her grand entrance! She was born yesterday at 2:24 weighing in at 7 pounds and was 19.5 inches long! Oh and she has a head FULL of red hair! I don't think they've figured out where that came from yet! ha! Allison and I went to visit a little while ago and they had the baby in the nursery for the doctor to check her out so we didn't get to hold her! We're going back tonight and hopefully we'll get to see her close up! I have a few pics that her Mimi emailed me!

I LOVE this one! Big Sister Addison giving Baby Sister love!

Meow!

I've been thinking for a couple of weeks about getting a cat. I just want one. Josh doesn't really want us to get one but, I usually get my way. We'll see! I started looking for one yesterday, I guess that's when I officially decided for sure that I wanted one. I got my sister to call around and she found a nice little kitty, black and white. So I called the hubs and he said that we needed to think about it more. huh? What's there to think about? It's a cute little free kitty! So, I agreed and tried to figure out all afternoon how I was going to talk him into it!

Fast foward a couple of hours to when Allison and I were leaving work for the day. As we were walking though the office out the door, we heard a cat meow! That is not too unusual around here because we have a ton of cats that hang around our office. We started walking towards our cars...I got almost to my car and was stunned to see what was sitting there looking at me!!!!!!

It had the prettiest blue eyes! It was just sitting there, under my tire!

If that's not a sign I don't know what is!! I think it may have been the neighbors' cat, so I put it on their porch. I would have taken it had it not been covered, I mean COVERED in fleas!

Here's to hoping the hubby gives in to his favorite wife! hee hee

By the way, Baby Keltie is taking her sweet time! It may be tonight or tomorrow before I get to see her and post pics!

Time is Flying!

Is it just me or has this year flown by? I mean, it's the end of August! I need to start planning Griffin's 7th birthday party! Wow, that was hard to type!

It seems like yesterday that Donna came to our office and told us that she had another grandbaby on the way......baby Keltie will be here tomorrow!!!!! That was the fastest pregnancy ever! I can't wait to meet and hold that sweet little one! I will post some pics hopefully tomorrow! If she is anything like her big sister she'll be here fast! :)

My sister's pregnancy is flying by too! We find out on September 25th what the baby will be! I'm so excited! Josh and I are convinced it's a girl! And we can't wait to tell Brad and Allison, "We told you so!" hee hee! 'Cause that's what brothers and sisters do ya know!

I wish I could make things slow down a bit! I try to absorb every little moment but that's very hard to do these days!

Beachin' It

Hubby and I just got back from the beach...alone! That means with NO kids! It was fantabulous! We drove down on Friday...well, I drove while he snored...I mean slept most of the way. I like having quiet driving time to myself so it worked out. I listened to my boyfriend jam on the radio(Darius, duh!) and tried not to make too many potty stops! It was raining off and on when we got down there but, a rainy day at the beach is better than a sunny day at home, right?! So, we ate and shopped for a new bathing suit for me...which is HELL for me! No joke. Nothing fits me. EVER.

We spent Saturday on the beach. ALL day! It was so much fun to just sit there and talk about stuff(and people who's name we won't mention here!) and not have to watch kids..even though we ended up watching someone else's. If you've been reading our blog for a while you know that our favorite restaurant down there, Bayside Grill, closed down last year. Not sure why because they were ALWAYS packed! A new restaurant called Fat Backs opened up in the same place so we decided to try it that night. Not so great. It just made us miss Bayside that much more! Oh what I would give for some Black Bean Soup, Coconut Fried Shrimp and some Bread Pudding right now!!!!

We ate breakfast at Tacky Jacks Sunday morning and then headed back out to the beach for a while where we were entertained by several dolphins. There were at least 20 of them. I have never seen so many together other than on TV. They were jumping completely out of the water, slapping their tails around and just gorgeous! After that we headed back to the house to clean up and head home to our babies! We missed them SO much!

One Question.

Why is it that Peyton thinks he can convince us(Me and Josh) that he wasn't the one doing blah blah when I have a note from the teacher stating so????? Is it because his nickname is Master P??(No, we don't call him that in real life! What are you thinking?ha!) He got in trouble at school yesterday for not minding--imagine that! and for playing when they got to the playground instead of going straight to time-out. He spent a very long time in time-out when he got home because he was really trying to convince us that his teacher was nuts and it wasn't him it was Jordan.

"Peyton, we have a note from Mrs. A. We know what you did!" We said that statement right there about 557 times! No lie!

And, I know I said One Question, but this is MY blog! How can he be a perfect angel one day...he got a WOW card the day before(which they only get if they are SUPER good) and a hellian the next day???? I am confused.

He best be on green light today. That's all I've got to say!
