Mommy Mish Mash...

So because I don't really have anything of substance to write about I figured why not just dump everything into one post?  A Mommy mish mash if you will?!

I found some motivation or should I say extra love for my husband today and I am damn proud of myself even if it was back breaking!  Yep, I'm pretty sure there is going to be a chiro appointment in my very near future!  That shit was H-E-A-V-Y HEAVY!

So, now I'm totally lol because thankfully, one of my many WONDERFUL neighbors came to my rescue with his snow blower when he saw me struggling to make a dent!  Without him, I think only the sidewalk would have gotten done!  Either way, the hubby is happy!  You didn't think I actually shoveled that did you?!

Needless to say, it's a snow day for the majority of people in Minnesota today; Daddy is at work, Charlie is at daycare, and I'm working from home.  As I sit cuddled up on the couch with my laptop I can't help but smile as I look out the window even if I hate snow with a passion.  There is something about watching the kids running around all bundled up, with sleds in tow, and giant snowmen being built right in my front yard.  Their innocence is priceless!

If I could predict my evening I would say that Daddy will come home, blow up the snow tube, and proceed to show Charlie the joys of the snow...or at least try to!   That ought to be interesting but I'm sure it will make for some great memories...and pictures!

So, I'm totally addicted to Pinterest!  Like seriously, I can't stop and it's starting to make my head spin!  It's just so damn inspiring and it's put me on a "I want to decorate/organize" mood!  Seriously, this house is in desperate need of some TLC but unfortunately due to our recent penny pinching/savings attempt in the hopes of getting a deck up this summer everything else is being pushed aside.  Why, oh why, can't money just grow on trees?

Rest assured, I have however been able to muster up some change on the decorating front and get this, it was a simple and free!  While it's nothing spectacular it's fresh, exciting, and I LOVE it!

I have been craving 6" Cold Cut Combos with Sun Chips from Subway for lunch lately.  No, I'm not pregnant...I'm just fat!  Speaking of being pregnant...we pulled the goalie!!!  GULP!  Considering that it took us 2 years to initially conceive before we are just going to let mother nature run its course...it will happen when it's meant to be!  There is no need for additional and unnecessary stress as that won't help the cause.  We are calm, cool, and collected...that is for the most part!  The thought of having 2 kids is C-R-A-Z-Y!  When did we become grown ups and can we handle it?

We have been in sinus, eye, and ear infection hell...all 3 of us for the last two weeks!  Finally, after some antibiotic prescriptions we are on the mend.  Oh how I can't wait to feel normal again!  That is, if there is such a thing?

I jumped back on the Bachelor train and I keep questioning myself as to why I subject myself to such shitty reality TV?  Like to the point that it dictates my Monday evenings!  This is all I'm going to say...Ben, what are you thinking?  Courtney, really?  Come on, can't you see what we see?  She's totally playing you.  If she wins in the end I sure do hope that you can prove us all wrong and that it turns into a successful relationship because the other women (Lindzi, Nikki, and Kaycie B.) were pretty damn amazing!

I'm dreading my doctors appointment tomorrow.  Let's just say there is nothing I like or feel comfortable about having my moles checked out and removed.  The whole situation makes me a bit queasy.

On the flip side, I'm looking forward to St. Patrick's day.  For the first time in years, we are heading downtown to the Shout House for a Rock 'N Roll Duelling Piano show followed by an overnight stay at a nearby hotel.  I'm pretty sure both of us may consume too much green beer but what the hell, why not?  One night out of the town will be good for us!

Lastly, my apologies once again for a blog that is pretty much lifeless.  I guess I'm still searching for the perfect balance between work, family, and me time.  Eventually, I will get back to posting regularly.
