my "Mommy's Helper"

I'm so excited....my cousin Leanna is coming over tomorrow morning to play with my girls so that I can get some house work done!!! Keith has been gone so much and I've been working close to 30hrs a week the past few weeks (during nap time and after I get the girls to bed I might add) so I've had no time to get any good cleaning done....and it's getting kinda nasty! The girls always want to "help" every time I try to get anything done...the most popular ways are by sitting on my hip while I try to work and by trying to climb up my legs if I stand in one place for more that a few seconds (yes Sadie is the worst culprit - and she does this even if I'm not cleaning!) Oh and by needing to nuggle...you know who makes this request :)

Monday is just a day away...hopefully I can get some good sleep tonight so I can clean to my hearts content tomorrow morning! Is it sad that I'm so excited to get cleaning done?

I miss my husband

yes...that's all there is to it...I just really miss having my best friend around. I don't know why today is so hard...maybe because it's Friday and I'm tired...or because the girls and I were able to have some real family time with him for a few hours yesterday evening and it left me wanting more..a lot more...or maybe it's just because I have no motivation to do anything and I wish I could just sit down with a cup of coffee and have a long conversation with the man I love

...only a few more weeks until he's off for summer break and hopefully then the missing will go away....

well, I kinda sound like a love sick pup, oh well...sometimes I just need to let myself feel pathetic

Mommy I wanna nuggle!

This has been a very frequent request from Bekah lately...she is becoming a very good snuggler. Every morning, nap time and bed time she needs to be nuggled and I can never seam to hold her tight enough or long enough...if it was up to her we'd probaly lay in bed all day watching movies and nuggling.

Well I better go....I'm being asked to nuggle... :)

Bed Head and Coffee!

These two go hand in hand for me...especially when the girls are waking up around 5:30 every morning :).
Happy Monday!

I'm in love!

Is it wrong to be in love with a piece of furniture?

Keith just bought an ottoman for my mothers day gift...at least when I was trying to convince him I needed it I suggested that..."since I'm such a great mother don't you think I deserve it?...and "you can study all day on mothers day if you get me this ottoman!" Well, it worked and I am now the proud owner of a beautifully cushioned ottoman...the girls can't get hurt on it (this is the best part...we used to have a coffee table with pointy edges that the girls were constantly getting banged up on), I can set my shipping stuff on it while I work, it has storage space inside, it's made out of microfiber so the girls (hopefully) can't ruin it to easily and it's a great brown/neutral color...and since my feet can't reach the ground comfortably when I sit on couches (I am very short) I have to have something to rest them on or I just look like my 2 year old with her legs hanging off the cushion...very uncomfortable!

Thanks honey for my ottoman - I'm in love with you too!
