School is over in 2 weeks. SS is going to spend several weeks visiting his mom. I seriously love the kid like my own, and he's a good kid. But I can't wait. Because 1 - teenage attitude. OMG. I just need to have some time not arguing with a person that thinks they know everything. 2- his mom is a pain in the ass to deal with. Usually he comes home with renewed appreciation for his dad and I. Which is nice.
i'm really jealous that @scrumpfy's step kid is visiting his mom for a few weeks. I dont remember the last time SD spent more than 3 nights in a row away.
I did this today. But to my credit, it's 95 degrees and E fell asleep in the Ergo while at the grocery store so I turned the car on to get the AC going. No way was I going to walk away from the car with both my kids in it and the ignition on.
@scrumpfy and @stephcarter I totally feel you! I hate summer vacation because the kids are home all day everyday and it's too hot here to go out and play. blah!
I can't find my mop. We have a cleaning lady who comes twice a month to clean and I usually just wipe up any messes with a damp cloth in the mean time. But today I got a wild hair to mop the floors. But i haven't mopped, ever, in this house. We've lived here a year. I am not sure our mop even moved with us. Guys I have never mopped my floors. Oh well she'll be here on Tuesday.
Hey I just met you, and you're my baby. This is your family, we're kind of crazy...
I am seriously considering sending Alice to a day care 1-2 days a week, half day so she can have some social activity. Or so I can get some stuff done. And maybe shower occasionally. Either way. But I have so much guilt even thinking about it. This is why I'm a SAHM. so we didn't have to send her to day care.
Disclaimer: I am in no way bashing moms who send their kid to day care. Obviously, since I'm considering it myself. It's the money part that I have guilt over. Shit is expensive!

@CnAnA we sent all our kids to daycare 2 mornings a week just to get them out and socialized with other kids and adults starting at age 3. Ds2 will start at fall of 2015. I've already got him on the list. It is really worth it.

My kids all have a spring cold. I sent ds1 and dd to swimming lessons yesterday evening because it is just a cold right. Midway through dd started crying because she felt so bad. Took her home and she had a fever. I feel so bad I convinced her to go. Mom of the year award right here.

I don't even have words to describe my jealousy.

Honestly we hired her last year when our old house was on the market and I just couldn't keep up with keeping the house spotless with the three kiddos always at my feet. We had every intention to go back on my won once we moved. But then my fil told dh, as he was visiting our new house for the first time, that she was an employee now and the she relied on our us for her livelihood. So dh couldn't bear to drop her services. I could've kissed mt fil. So here we are with a permanent cleaning lady. And my kids love her so that is cool too.

Oh I totally signed E up for mother's day out which is 2 days a week from 9-1 and I'm paying $95 a month for it starting in August. It's at DS1'S preschool and I'll have 2 mornings a week free to myself. I can't wait, man. I don't feel bad at all. He needs the socialization. Every time I take him to the gym nursery he screams bloody murder, because heaven forbid, he's away from me. I'm mostly looking forward to 2 lunches a week to myself though.
Luckily I live in a matchbox, so even when I am at my kitchen, I am literally 2-3 running steps from the tub. I just recently felt comfortable leaving the room at all.

I rarely ever put on makeup and almost always wear my hair in a bun. I've got thin wavy hair but it soakes up water like a sponge and takes forever to blow dry. So annoying. My sister has thick straight hair that she can just leave down right out of the shower and it looks good and I'm pretty sure @chricast has super straight low maintenance hair too. Jerks... Lol
@stephcarter lies about my hair. Everyone thinks it is effortless. Unfortunately it is stringy and greasey if I air dry it. I have to use root lifter, mouse and hairspray to dry it out and give it any lift from sticking straight to my head. It is super straight though and only takes about 5-10 min to blow dry so it's not that terrible.
I'm glad some have confessed to leaving the bathroom to get a towel I feel totally guilty with a pit in my stomach if I have to leave her for a second to get something.
I usually run one girl inside at a time when we get home. I find it to be a struggle to wrestle them both in at the same time. I could put one down, but then I'm afraid she'll run to the street. Then if I hold one while taking the other out, I'm afraid I'll drop one. I'm glad they're getting to the age now where they somewhat listen. I'm sure the logistics will get easier soon.
Now that I am on maternity leave, I dread the weekends. Honestly, DH is pissing me off, and DS is a comparative handful, so the weekdays when DS is in daycare and DH is at work is so peaceful and pleasant.

Ok I'm lying through my (possibly unbrushed) teeth. I look like I was punched in both eyes and I need a cart to haul the bags I am rocking.
Give me a few hours and quality makeup though and I can look presentable. Usually.
