If I were forced to write a list of things I never thought I'd say, "This pudding cup just cut me!" Would totally be in the top ten. Just sayin'. Not sure what the other 9 would be right off the top of my head, but that one would definitely be in the top 10.
Have a great day!

5 Question Friday
Good morning friends! This is going to be another busy busy weekend, but it should be fun =).
Here we go with the 5 question Friday fun!
1. Who drives when your family is together, you or your spouse?
When we are driving all together the Hubs drives. If I happen to open the driver's side door for any reason Firecracker says, "No, Mom! Daddy drives!!" Haha!
2. Are you an introvert or extrovert?
I am most definitely an introvert. It's not that I don't like people, or anything I just enjoy being home and hanging with my family. And I don't mind hanging out quietly.
3. Are you married to an introvert or extrovert?
Oh my goodness. The Hubs is most definitely an extrovert. I've joked with him that he could make even a wall have a long conversation. Let me give you an example. We stopped at a convenient store for a drink and he ran inside while I stayed in the car with the kids. I kid you not 15 minutes later he finally came out. He had made friends with the clerk and they were just chatting!!! Who does that? The Hubs that's who. It's actually one of the things I love most about him. =)
4. What's your favorite type of social media?
I would have to go with facebook. Although I don't really get on it all that much any more. I used to be a facebook junkie, but not so much any more. I don't do twitter or tumblr or any of the others I might have no idea exist.
5. What's your favorite way to "recharge"?
I love to hole up with a good book. Oh or take a nice long nap. Or even better be reading a book and drift off into a nap. Yep, I'm not complicated ;).
Hope you all have a great day!

Running
No, this is not a post about me actually running. I'm not a runner. I tried to be once, but I gave up at the end of the drive way.
Ok, do you ever feel like you are just treading water? You have a zillion tasks to get done and you can do only 3 million in a day. Which is a pretty good thing considering you have children to take care of (at least 2 on some days 4 depending on if you're caring for neices and or nephews for one reason or another. Which by the way I love, so this one is a non negotiable.). However, by the end of the day 250 million of those things you got accomplished are things that have to be done again the next day.
It's like life is laughing at me. Oh well, at least I'm in on the joke! And if it doesn't all get done it will be ok. My babies will know they are more important than stuff.
Hope you all have a great day!

EXCITED!!!!
Yesterday Sweet pea pooped in the potty for the very first time!!!!!! I was sooooo thrilled!!! Especially since we haven't really started potty training yet.
She will tell us she has to go potty, but it's never consistent, and we haven't tried to start the tedious process of taking her to the potty every 20 minutes.
Anyway, I was in my room yesterday and Sweet pea came to me and said she had to go potty. I told her to go sit on the little potty. I didn't think much about it, because she does this several times a day. Pretty much whenever she feels like she wants candy she'll go sit on the little potty training potty and pee a little and then want candy. And yes, I do give her candy at that point, because it's all moving toward the eventual goal. When I came out of my room she was clapping and pointing to the little potty. When I looked in it she had pooped!!! I was ecstatic!!!! I jumped up and down, cheered, sang the "poopie in the potty" song (yes, we have a song for that, don't judge. Anything to encourage them to go on the potty.) and then I gave her several m&m's. Then I proceeded to call several family members and inform them of how proud I was of my daughter. Yep, I'm an easy person to please..... Most of the time ;)
Hope you have a great day!

Glasses
I have had to wear glasses or contacts since I was about 12 years old. I have awful vision. Anywho, around the age of 16 or so I got contacts. I loved them and wore them consistently up until I was prego with Firecracker. One of the possible side effects of pregnancy is dry eyes. And I got that and it made wearing contacts uncomfortable.
I started wearing my glasses daily. And then after having Firecracker I was so exhausted all the time that I didn't want to bother with contacts. Then my contacts became out of date. Well, yesterday I went to the eye doctor and finally got some new contacts!!!
Poor Firecracker is so confused. He keeps asking where my glasses are. He doesn't understand why I don't have them on. It's just like any other change. It's hard to digest, but he'll get used to it. =)
Hope you all have a great day!

Decisions
If you've followed my blog for very long, you know that I struggle with depression.I've pretty much come to terms with this disease, (thanks to my Doctors and my crazy medications) but there are days that it still kicks my booty. The other day I had one of those days.
Have you ever realized that you make 1,000s of decisions a day? Most of them are mundane, but you still have to make them. For instance, you pick what to wear that morning, what your children will wear, what chores around the house need to be done, which path to take to the store etc. Like I said these decisions are mundane, and most of us do them with out even thinking twice.
However, when I'm in the depression hole, I struggle to make these kinds of decisions. And by the end of the day I feel so wiped out trying to decide anything and I do mean ANYTHING feels like the hardest task in the world.
This is when my wonderful, heaven sent Hubs steps in and says, "Honey, I don't mind picking up some Taco Bell for dinner." Talk about a life saver! I know making dinner is a small thing most of the time, but when I feel like I'm going under someone taking this off of my shoulders makes me feel about 20 lbs lighter. God, bless this man for his understanding!
I hope you all have a great day!

Facts
I have found that there are a few facts in life (notice I said facts IN life, not facts OF life. That would be a whole different thing... just sayin') that are universally true.
1. Drinks always taste better from other people's cups (example: the Hubs leaves his glass of tea on the counter and I happen to drink it. It ALWAYS tastes better than me making one for myself ;)
2. Children will always want what the other kid has. No matter how many cool toys they have of their own, they want that other toy. (I'm not suggesting here that kids will act horribly, because they don't get the toy. I'm just sayin' it happens. Heck, we as full grown adults do it often as well.)
3. Mothers put more food on their child's plate than they expect them to eat. We do this for 2 reasons: 1. We hope they will actually eat it. 2. We expect there to be negotiations. Ie. Child: "Mom, I don't want to eat this." Mom: "You don't have to eat it all, just take 3 bites." Yep, we're a sneaky lot we are ;). And yes, I'm posting this boldly, because my children cannot read yet, and therefore my secret will still be safe. And if any of you tell them I'll hunt you down!! ;)
4. Kids in the back seat will always fight. You see when I was a kid we had cars, not vans. And there were 6 of us in the family. Which meant 3 in the front seat and 3 in the back seat. Yes, that was a tight fit. Now imagine that on a 24 hour road trip. NOT COMFY. However, I have fond memories of these trips even though we were crammed in like sardines.
All that to say that I always thought that if we had been spaced out a little more we would have fought less. However, having witnessed other people's children and my own now in larger vehicles, I'm convinced kids in the back seat will always find something to fight about. Even if the fight isn't over who's crossing the "invisible line".
Feel free to comment and let me know any facts that I might have forgotten ;). I know there have to be more.
Hope you have a great weekend!
