Being a mom has taken a hold of EVERYTHING and there are things I have neglected, like excercise, cleaning, adult conversation, sleep, sometimes a shower....and blogging. =) Thanks to a very special cousin/friend and friend to make more of an effort for those things. Plus nobody likes me when I smell and I'm tired. =) Thus tonights post.....
Living with a two year old is entertaining. He has given us several gems lately that I am sure we will remind him of when he is older.
I am currently breastfeeding his younger brother. Now we have tried to explain that to him, he just doesn't get it. He insists that his brother is eating my arm and when ever Ryan is done eating he will innocently say "You arm empty?"
He was playing with his Joseph, Mary and Baby Jesus (who had just been released from the prison of bad toys...on top of the refrigerator, that is another whole story.) I was busy trying to do things without his "help." When I heard him say "Time out Joseph." I came back down stairs and Joseph was sitting on the naughty step. "Is Joseph in timeout?" Jack nodded emphatically. "What did he do?" I asked. "He pushd Baby Jesus." Well enough said....
I was busy in the kitchen when I noticed Jack had Ryan's bottle in his mouth. Ryan had drank all but about a 1/2 an ounce. I asked him if he was drinking Ryan's bottle. He said yep! I said "You did?" somewhat surprised. He smiles and says "It's yummy!" - I'm thinking it was hard enough to wean this kid the first time, the last thing I need is him stealing breast milk from his baby brother. =)
Tonight we were on our way home and he calls "Mommy" from the backseat. I turned around and his face is beat red and in his deepest most strained monster like voice he says "I go POTTY!" While laughing I asked you have to go or you did? He answers-shocker- "I did!" I preceed to laugh and then when I finally catch my breath I said "sh&%" Tom responds with "exactly" and Jack says "sure"
At least there is never a dull moment. =)

Things I love
I had a dentist appointment the other day. After I was leaving I realized:
I love all the typical thing that people love like my family, friends, blah, blah, blah, but there are also a bunch of completely random things that make me happy!!
I love the feeling of clean teeth, I mean really clean...dentist clean, teeth.
I love getting a haircut, color, etc. You look better than any time you ever do your hair yourself.
I love the feeling of cold sheets and the smell of clean sheets
I love new socks!
I love slurpees. I once swore if I ever one the lottery the first thing I would buy would be a slurpee machine. I don't know if it would still be the first thing but it would be in the top 10.
I love chewing ice
I love shamrock shakes, they only make them in March so that is the only time I can have them and I DO induldge! =)
I love a really good laugh-for me that is the kind that I stop breathing, snort, and gasp for air.
I love having a clean house...especially if I didn't clean it.
I love sleeping in!!
The list could go on and on but for now this crazy girl is done. =)

Random musings
So I have to apologize to my "readers" =) I thought you would all laugh at me and how ridiculous I am in the department of mommy-hood. Apparently I grossed most of you out. So sorry!
On other topics, I spent $10 at the gas station the week of conferences. I loaded up with various candies to get me through..plus I didn't know what I wanted. In my top desk drawer I had two snickers bars, one with almonds, one regular, a package of oreos, a dove bar, and some skittles. (There used to be peanut M& M's and junior mints too but I ate those.) Today I went to tap into my stash and the snickers and oreos were GONE!!! Now I know I didn't eat them and I know a mouse was not that picky. Why would you mess with a pregnant ladies goodies?? Have you no heart?

Adventures in potty training
Those who know me, know I have a pretty weak gag reflex. Some of my friends in particular enjoyed watching shows like Fear factor with me because they are so humored by my gagging. I am the type that gets a contact "puke", now with that being said I start the adventures in potty training.
My son showed an early interest in potty training, we were all about it, especially with a new baby on the way. We immediately bought the potty seat that sits on the regular toilet. That way I didn't have to clean it out, look at it, etc... He wasn't quite as interested. My husband commented that he thought we needed the traditional potty seat, offering to do all the cleaning of the potty. I agreed and we bought the "gross" kiddie potty..although it plays music and looks like a king's throne. Since Jack has really taken offf...literally. He asks to go potty constantly and takes his own pants and diaper off FREQUENTLY. He has had quite a bit of success but we still don't have the timing down just right.
This weekend we had friends over helping to build our basement. Jack said "Potty mommy," So I took him in. Immediatley it was stinky and I thought it was left-overs from someone else's trip, so I lit a candle. Well eventually Jack stood up and saw the "UCKKY" in his potty. I immediatley began attempting to wipe him...he would not stand still because he wanted to get away from the uckky. Well that made two of us, but the more I wiped the more that came. I immediatley began gagging as I was trying to clean up my son and scream "Jack stand still." My friends in the living room began cracking up. (Now another fun thing about me is when people laugh it tends to make me laugh...harder) I shouted stop "I'll pee my pants." Well that set them off, needless to say that ended with Leslie finishing getting Jack together and me running to the next bathroom.
Today I stayed home with Jack because he has the cough from hell. Shortly after he ate he said "Mommy poopy." So into the bathroom we went. He sat on the toilet for a while and nothing, suddenly he stood up and two very solid little turds fell out. I quickly made him sit back down....he was saying "Ewww" all the while. Meanwhile the rest of his waste started coming out while he kept standing and I kept trying to sit him back down. He would not stand in the bathroom for me to wipe him up and I really couldn't stand it either since it was all over the seat at this point, so I was gagging and Jack was headed up the stairs with an un-clean bottom. Well it hit me and I began to puke, I didn't want to puke on the stairs or carpet so I ran back into the bathroom. Meanwhile Jack sits down on the stairs and begins to cry. I come out, make him stand up and navigate around the "stair" I get him upstairs and clean him up and put on a diaper. Meanwhile Tom wakes up.
"Honey....Jack went potty, I puked, and there is a mess downstairs on his potty and on the stairs." Needless to say I am a lucky woman because he took care of the rest of the mishaps.
I don't know how much more of this I can take. =)

Career choice
Sometimes I question my career choice. I enjoy teaching but .........there are days that McDonalds or Walmart are looking pretty good.
I can tolerate dumb but lazy infuriates me.
If you don't get it I will help you but don't just put stupid things to be done. THINK!!!

Random musings
Okay I should probably change the name to random musings of a crazy lady since this is what my blogs always seem to be but it is theraputic in a warped way.
I enjoy making students cry. I am not sure why. It is sick and twisted. I was a kid that cried (well I still am) at the drop of a hat. But as a teacher when they do something naughty it gives me such satisifaction to see the tears.
A student was walking up the stairs. She is rather large...shrek like if you will....and in a class for emotional impairments so she is special. Her entire booty was hanging out the top of her pants. Luckily it was covered by a t-shirt. I commented to pull your pants up. Then I got a look at the front..... Have you ever tried on a pair of pants that were tight in the legs but you got them up but there was NO way in the WORLD they were going to get zipped or buttoned? Well that was the issue with this child's pants. They were hanging wide open in the front, then looking at the legs I am not sure how she got into them...now I understand why were were hanging out the back. As I am making all these observations she comments to me "Is you pregnant?"
Smiling "Yes I am." I guess she was making observations too. =)
February is the longest month of the year. I don't care if it is the shortest one in days , it seems long!!! I hate the programs that are crammed down our throats in February and I hate the weather. I want spring!!
Today we were given numbers at school for a fun valentines day activity. I think my number was rigged and that is all that I am saying. =)

Mondays
I am not a big fan of Mondays. The weekends go super quick no matter what, you drag your butt in and there you go...Whoo-hoo
This is how my morning started at about 4:30.
"Mama, Mama!"
I walk into my darling son's room. "What's wrong baby?"
"Be-be go?" (Which is Jack for my binky fell out of my mouth and I would now like it)
I turned on the lamp, "Look for it while mommy goes potty." Because now the very first thing I have to do upon waking up is pee like a race horse.
"No!!! and the screaming crying begins."
I go take care of business and go back into Jack's room.
I lay down with him and promptly find be-be and hand it to him.
"Mama snuggle! " I was commanded
So I snuggle in ready to catch a few more zzz's when I realize the bed is wet and so are Jack's pajamas.
I promptly explain and we quickly go change our diaper which was acceptable. However he did NOT want to take his pajamas off. That was when the screaming started and continued the entire time I got him re-dressed. Then he was more upset when we did not go back to "Jack's bed" and he wanted nothing to do with "daddy's bed or daddy".
Needless to say it was quite the process. However I did get to work a little early for a change. I am afriad my dislike for Monday's might be genetic because my son sure didn't seem in the mood this morning either. =)
