tough day done

what i thought was going to be a rough day ended up being so much harder than just rough. my husband had an early meeting so i was on breakfast duty...no biggie. i can give up an extra half hour of sleep. honest i can!

while the boys watched their tv time, i made homemade blueberry muffins. YUM! i figured out that my littlest does not like actual blueberries, so i thought i would be a genius and hide them in yummy muffins with a bit of banana and lemon zest. survey says: neither boys liked them. dandy.

proceed with day....head upstairs to get clothes on. peanut locks the bathroom door just as i am about to shower locking us all out of brushing hair, teeth, or using the potty. wonderful. husband is still in meeting so we have to wait about 45 minutes to reach him to figure out how to get the door unlocked from the outside. thankfully, no one was locked on the inside!

door unlocked! mommy gets a shower....just as water heats up, little bit clocks the snot out of peanut....tears everywhere..... i cave....one more tv show. i need a few minutes of steam and silence.

i decide that our "project" day was lost and we had to get out of the house.... so, we head to the brooklyn children's museum. guess what? it is closed on tuesdays. more tears.

thanks to a good friend who was willing to serve this frazzled, very pregnant mom lunch and keep peanut for the duration of nap time i was able to get almost an hour nap. daddy was kind enough to offer to pick him up so i could put on my jammies at 2:00 this afternoon....elastic waist band!!!

but, dinner is made and both my kids are still alive!!!

Oh, dear! That just makes me laugh. And what is the deal with a museum being closed on Tuesday?

What in the world are you doing making homemade blueberry muffins?! You are SO allowed to do instant oatmeal or cereal, Miss 8 days away from your due date! ;) Can't wait to hear news of your little princess!

don't you hate it when you make something you swear little boys will love and then they just stare at it and you like you're crazy? worst feeling.

i'm sure i would've loved your muffins and eaten way too many of them.

and we will be out numbered....

as of monday, i am through my first trimester with sweet baby #3. the sweet children will out number the adults come the beginning of march. as john likes to comment about my day to day coping skills, "her body is betraying her" as i adjust to pregnancy and surviving with two small children. i still can't find our flash drive to upload pictures....i'll work on it. it requires clearing off the computer desk which exists in the middle of the living room due to the plaster/drywall work being done to patch up the hole from the toilet leak. supposedly the new hardwood floors are supposed to arrive this week.....which means we could potentially move out of the office and back into our bedroom in a couple of weeks!!! the small pleasures in life!

more tidbits

i find it interesting....... .......how the two boys are in sync already. apparently we had not weathered the worst of operation big boy-no paci....he cried for almost an hour. what we thought would be an early bedtime was not....then asher (who was supposed to sleep until 2) woke up at midnight only to be followed by big brother 10 minutes later "scared." .......how 20 & 30 years olds (including myself) walk around the locker room delicately covered up by the towel that is slightly too small to cover my rumpus..... and yet the 50 & 60 years old strut around with no shame. nora ephron claims that the things that we things we hate about out bodies in our 20s will be the things we long for in our 50s. funny how that works...maybe i'll lose my abandon and sit in the sauna naked as a jaybird..... naw!!! .......how fun sitting on the kitchen counter while daddy cooks is for a two year old. .......how much i want to cut my hair. .......how excited i am to have gott...
