5 Sharp Lives: Been busy

Been busy

I haven’t blogged anything substantial because I’ve been busy.

Too busy at work.

Being a single mom while my husband coaches.

Choosing the boys over the computer.

My house is a mess.

I need to vacuum, clean bathrooms, fold some laundry, put some laundry away, do more laundry.

I haven’t even thought about planning a party for the end of the month when my (typing through tears) baby turns 5 besides this little sentence about it. I think I am purposely avoiding it so I don’t have to realize it.

Trying to firm up. 3 runs in 4 weeks and one hell session of ab ripper x, that will do the trick, right? To do that I have to get up at the butt crack of dawn on a Saturday or Sunday. During the week is pretty much out of the question. Dinner to cook, tears and asses to wipe, games to play, feeding to do, dinosaur hugs to give, a house to pick up, clothes to lay out, and sleep to get. It's not working too well! I can at least move after a run though, so I've made some progress.

I am working on little sleep from a long weekend.

I need to give Weston a bath. Seriously I do. Sunday he got wiped down with wipes. TONIGHT, I am doing it. Tonight he will get a bath! Bill always hated when I wiped the kids faces with “butt wipes”.

I paid bills, right? Oh my goodness, did I pay my bills?

T-ball games. They are the cutest ever by the way and completely frustrating at the same time.

I did my 1st photo shoot with my mom. It was my sister and I had good light outside, there isn’t really much more to it. She’s amazing by the way. I’m not wanting to get into the business, I just want to take awesome pics of my family. These are my favs.

I did actually get some meals planned for the week. Healthy? I’ll pretend you didn’t ask that, oh you didn’t?

Me time? I feel too guilty for me time. The HS girls and I are planning an overnight girl’s night and to say I’m excited is a complete understatement. But, I will still feel guilty for not being the one to feed and swaddle Weston before bed.

My me time right now is getting ready for work in the morning and the 2 hours of drive time back and forth where I struggle just to keep my eyes open.

So anyway, I have been busy just like every other momma out there. Thank goodness we just had that ONE day to celebrate us!

Good for you for choosing the boys over the computer. That's HUGE. And looks to me like you have some good genes. Give yourself a break. You can only do what you can do. But I understand busy having been a single mom for the better part of two weeks now. It stinks. Hang in there mama. Give yourself a big pat on the back. You're doin great!

Dale

This is Dale. My Dale. The one I have spent pretty close to half of my life with. I love him. He loves God, he is strong, he provides for us, he treats me well, he makes me laugh. He's tall, dark, of course handsome, has got nice broad shoulders and a really cute butt. He is quiet and it takes quite awhile to get him to warm up, but once he does he is the best friend anyone could have. He is a great dad and his boys are his soft spot. I love spending my life with him. He makes everything ok when things are hard and he is my calm in the midst of a storm ... most of the time. I.LOVE.HIM!

Wyatt

This is our hilarious, sweet, cuddly, 5 year old boy, Wy Wy. He likes things his way and on his time. He is the best big brother around these parts. He is known to say "I love you, Mommy" out of the clear blue sky at home and in public. It's the best and usually gets quite a few "awe's" in public. He has got an amazing talent for sports already and has an arm that will surprise you. We love him to death and he brings us so much joy. He can also tell a story with the best of them and repeat almost any line from Sandlot, I know not all of them need to be repeated. He will start acting out scenes to movies at the oddest of times, but is always good for a laugh. (Click on the picture for Wyatt's birth story.)

Waylon

This is our 3 year old Waylonator or Wayners as his daddy calls him or Nayners as I like to call him now. He is the chubby little guy that has completely stolen our hearts. He loves to run naked around the house. He learns a ton from his brother. He can repeat anything you say to him, and understand most of it. He loves to dance, slide, play outside, wrestle, and bite his big brother. We don't have to worry about him sticking up for himself. He's got that covered. He sleeps like a champ and always has. His cuddle side is coming out, but he teases you 1st. He makes my heart swell. He finally calls me mommy now and momma on occasion. I might even get some "mom's" in there. He is so different from his brother it is amazing. Watching these two form such a tight brotherly bond brings us such joy. They truly love and enjoy each other. Nothing makes us happier! (Click on the picture for Waylon's birth story.)

Weston

This little guy is Weston. He was born on 1/25/11, 6lbs 15oz 21in. He is tall. He is already getting close to outgrowing the bassinet because of his length. He eats a ton and keeps me stressed out about my milk supply. He LOVES his brothers! You won't hear a peep out of him if one of them is holding him. They love him too! He's starting to smile and be more awake. There's nothing better than new smiles on a new face. He sleeps well at night and doesn't take too many naps during the day. He's starting to like baths. One thing you can always find him doing is squirming! He's been like this since the first time I felt him in my belly. We love what he brings to our family.
