All is well...

After a bad Monday, which was topped off with Javin taking permanent black marker to my tile floor (thank you magic eraser for removing it), I am glad to report that we are all alive and well! After Jav wrote on the floor I felt defeated!
Jav: "What happened, mama?"
Me: "You wrote on mama's floor."
Jav with a chuckle: "Yeah!"
Me: "It's not funny to write on the floor!"
Jav: "Steam?!"
Me: "Is there steam coming out of mama's ears?"
Jav: "Yep!"
Dang if they aren't too funny...you can't stay mad for too long, although I was so glad to see him go to bed that night! It's true what they say, "Our biggest trials are our biggest blessings!" I love my little boys more than anything...even when they try me!

Seriously...

Ok blogging mommies...am I the only one that has kids that don't nap? Am I the only one that understands the mommy who drown her kids in a moment of complete and total insanity? Anyone else out there wish they worked or could afford a nanny? I read your blogs and it's all sunshine and giggles...SERIOUSLY?!!!? Let's not sugar coat mommyhood...we all want to go away on occasion. We have all raised our voices at our kids. We all have moments when our childs voice is more annoying than the emergency test buzzing on the tv. Admit it ladies, sometimes you would do anything to get rid of them or at least be able to leave at the drop of the hat so you could have break! If you read this and agree please comment because sometimes I feel like a crappy mom and I need my friends to admit that they have these feelings too...if you don't I'm pretty sure you are lying to yourself!
Am I totally and completely annoyed with my children today...YES! Javin won't nap! If I leave him in his room he takes off his pants and diaper, tears apart his bed, rips his books (even the cardboard ones)! Then he goes to the door and yells, then he starts screaming and doesn't stop! He climbs on top of his changing table and screams harder cause he can't get down. I can't do quiet time cause he is incapable of sitting still or being quiet! I can't lock myself in a room cause who knows what I will find when I come out! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
Gatlin is a good and happy baby only he doesn't sleep for more than about 30 minutes at time. Sometimes he'll sleep for an hour to an hour and a half but that's it. I want to cry and scream and disappear sometimes...actually I go through each of these feelings at some point during every day. Yes, it will get better. Yes, I will miss these days when they are gone...blah, blah, blah! Right now, I can't wait until they are in school all day long!

Let's be brief!

So we are in the new house (pictures to come) and getting settled slowly but surely! We love it! Jav has decided he's done napping except the occasional nap on the couch or floor while watching "Cars!" He has also decided the kitchen sink is ideal for a good soak! Gatlin is fat and happy (literally to both)! His smile will light up a room and he is huge! Weight to come after the 1st! Everyone thinks he is at least 8 months...if not older just because of his size! And yes, he is wedged into the bumbo...his thighs barely fit! More soon as Jav is almost 2 and we have the weigh in on the 1st!
