Why? Why? Why? Why?

WHYYYYYYYYYY??

Oh my sweet baby Jesus, if I have to hear this one more time I might jump from the nearest liquor store roof.

We have officially hit the why phase and for reals, I don't know if I'll survive it. While I don't claim to be the worlds most patient person I am proud of the fact that I've become more patient since birthing two children a mere 14 months apart. But this phase folks might be the death of my patience and resurrection of the former short-fused Amy.

My son, God love him, is a talker. No clue where he gets that from (shut up to all the family and friends reading this). He doesn't stop talking from the minute he wakes up in the morning (::whispers:: "Mama...what you do-ning?" UMMMM...SLEEPING!!!!) until he he falls asleep with a ya-ya shoved up his nose at night (usually singing, "Bob the Builder, can we fix it? Bob the Builder, yes we can!") So you can imagine with his already talkative nature plus this newfound inquisitiveness all equals a Mommy who is verbally beaten down by the end of the day.

Please tell me this phase ends soon. Like, tomorrow. That would make me happier than a pig in shit.

This is what my life has become...

Prior to having babies I would spend my weekends sleeping, shopping, relaxing with Big Poppa, visiting family or friends...just taking it easy. No big responsibilities or events. Nothing overly exciting. I could come and go as I pleased. It was a lovely time.

Now that I have children my weekends are spent in a completely different way. Take today for example. How am I spending my Saturday after a long week of working and child rearing?

Trying to get Luca to poop.

Please contain your excitement. The kid has been whining since this morning that he pooped and needs his diaper changed. So I lay him down, take off his pants, un-velcro his diaper and alas, there is no poop. This has happened at least 1,689,478 times today. He even asked to use the bathroom when we were out to brunch this morning. Ummm...this is the kid who won't even pee on the potty and he asked me to use the bathroom?! Riiiiiight.

So it's now 1pm and still no poop. And he's still upset about it so clearly there's an issue.

So, I'll spend the remainder of my day partaking in a "form" of child-rearing...literally. Ah, the joys of motherhood.

Happy Weekend!

I can't even remember the last time I blogged. That's sad.

I've been MIA. I know. But I swear it's for good reason. I got a job. It's only part time but it's really not feeling so part time since I pretty much am working at some point every single day. It's for a catering company. Get this....they contacted ME to help them expand their catering business. Pretty cool, right? Someone passed my name along to them and next thing I know, I'm working. So far I really enjoy it. I'm selling and booking events which is what I was hired to do. I don't mine working so much because I actually like it. So it's all good. But it's making life extremely hectic.

Besides that, all else is good on the homefront. Babies are good, crazy as ever. Avery is just the sweetest thing this week. But as you all know with her that could change in an instant. Luca is all about being outside. From the minute he wakes up at 630am, he wants to go outside and I don't stop hearing about it until he goes to bed at 8pm. As annoying as it is, I'd rather he love being outside then sitting in front of the tv.

Gotta run. Luca is crying because he wants his easter basket. I hope to catch up and resume normal posting soon!
