Emma's answer of the day.

Emma, where do babies come from?

your tummy.


How do they get in there?

You go to the baby doctor and they put them in.

How do they come out?

They roll out... or crawl out, of your tummy

Michelle and the Terrible, Horrible, No good very bad day.

Today was a Terrible, Horrible, no good, very bad day.

First thing is morning Sophia leaped from the bed. As In, She lunged forward over Emma’s head into the guard railing, knocking the railing over and onto the floor and smacking her head on the way down.

After Emma and I comforted poor daredevil Evil Kenevil Sophia, she said “oooooowwww” in her cute little baby voice which made us all laugh. 

The next horrible thing to happen was, Toothpaste cap in the TOILET!!! There is no logical reason this actually happened. It was a series of unfortunate events that landed that cap in the toilet. It slipped out of my hand then bounced off the sink; I went to grab it and instead punched it right into its final destination.

I did however take a picture of it to send it to Matt and Jess. Jess was sorry for my loss.

It helped.

Next, no good very bad thing to happen was I noticed in my confirmation email from Walmart.com that my order was going to the wrong address. Instead of whatever3 it was going to whatever6 (which is pretty far down the road). I don’t know if any of you have had to try to contact walmart.com… but its friggin impossible. I have a feeling contacting Osama would be easier, well…. Not so much anymore. But maybe even still!!!

FINALLY I get in touch with someone after 30 minutes and “I’m sorry we can’t help you.”

Really, you can call down to the warehouse where it is and have them change the 3 to a 6, OR change it in the computer? It’s not like it was shipped yet.

But then the girl told me I could cancel my order, and I’d get a refund in 3-5 business days. Fine, let’s do that. “Oh, I’m sorry; I can only cancel 2 of your items the other 3 will have to be shipped”

So what the eff is going to happen to the other 3 items? Well apparently when the items come I can just refuse delivery and it will be sent back to Wal-Mart and I will get my refund… How am I supposed to refuse delivery when it’s going to NOT MY HOUSE you may ask… yeah I asked the same thing.

What is really going to happen is they are going to be shipped to said wrong address, and those people may or may not keep my items, Because if a bunk bed shows up at your house, fully paid for would you send it back?... maybe. I have to wait for this stuff to be delivered to the wrong house and then call wallmart.com, try to reach a real person and verify I in fact did not get the stuff I ordered that was sent to not my house.

……And then reorder everything and hope I get it ….someday! (yeah, we will see)

I was so mad at the end of talking to this girl and then she asks (and I’m sure they have to, but really?) “Did we meet your needs and expectations today?”  Are you for real?

No you egg sucking monster of a useless person, you did not! My needs were far from met and my expectations, well actually I don’t expect much from Wal-Mart and this just helps cement my deeply rooted hate for all things Wal-Mart. So what if they have supper yummy cheesy bread sticks and delicious cheesecake. I think I will stick Target and be the stuck up Target snob that I am thank you very much.

After that Horrible wal-mart interaction I have to rush my ass to Emma's school to pick her up. And Sophia is on a rampage and does not want to be held, doesn't want to stand up, only crawl around on the dirty school floor. (Hello every sickness ever, here is your invitation into my house). 

While Sophia is doing her baby thing on the floor, I can hear in Emma's class they are singing there goodbye song and lining up, that is when Sophia goes and hits her head on the floor, in front of everyone, And Starts screaming like a little baby banshee. 

I don't think these people are going to award me "Best Mom" at the end of the year. However maybe they will all pitch in and by me a nice bra. 

In other news, I have one week to get everything packed and ready to move and Finish my criminal justice final. Lets hope tomorrow brings better days.

P.s.

As I was ending this blog, Sophia head butt me in the mouth. I now have a fat lip bloody lip.

Is it bed time yet?

Home is whenever I'm with you.

I love love love this song..

Emma never has to go back to school agian right?

Here's a little story of my most embarrassing mommy moment... which happened a few minutes ago.

 I had to go to Emma's school to drop her off and I brought Sophia with me since Matt is at work, though this isn't an uncommon occurrence. 
So Emma is in line (because she always has to be the first one) and I'm letting Sophia walk around holding onto my hand, some teachers start stampeding through the call and I wanted to move Sophia so I  pick her up and she decides to pick up my shirt with her!... soo that was great, everyone just got a free show, and I wasn't even wearing my good bra.. damn it.
After refusing to make eye contact with anyone, praying that by some grace of God there was a tiny explosion, or someones kid spontaneously combusted and everyone looked away from me and my ridiculously cute child in that moment, I put Sophia down and we are walking again. I was also swinging her and she was having a grand time, but I was hoping for time to speed up so I could run out of there, But as luck would have it right as the teachers come out to get the kids I pick up Soph so we can high tail it the eff out of there  wave bye to Emma  and Sophia pukes EVERYWHERE!!!
And of course this is one of the few times I didn't bring any baby gear so i have nothing to clean it up with... So I'm standing there like a pukey moron, red faced and horrified.

To say the least, I never want to go back.... I wonder if Emma knows the way to walk home.

Reading and working out.

I have been reading lots of things these past few weeks, maybe months. (i sorta lose track of time), Mainly its been about food and health. There is so many things about food that I have learned, I have a plethora of new recipes I want to try as well.
I've learned a lot about trans fat .....and that the process of makeing  prepackaged deli meat included ammonia. YUM!
I find myself reading labels a lot more to see whats in food I am buying instead of just throwing it in my cart because its just something we've always gotten, I take time to find the better item.
 
There are lots of little things we have an will be changing in this household to make our lives healthier.
It will be baby steps, seeing as how Emma is against anything that isn't chocolate cereal, peanut butter, chicken nuggets or pop-tarts. But we will get there. ( I hope)

I'm not sure how much of this I will blog about, but hopefully I will get motivated to start writing in here again.

Also, as of yesterday I started working out again, A bit of cardio, strength trainning (okay that part was very little) and a bit of Yoga.... I'm a lot stretchy-er then I thought I was, considering that my ass has grown about 2 sizes over the last year and okay I won't blame it on my thyroid completely, those cheesy bread sticks might have had a part in all of this. Damn you delicious bread sticks.

I also realized just how incredibly hard it is to work out with my  monsters   children around. I had Emma screaming for me in her room every 5 seconds for some ridiculous demand or to tell me some crazy story that would take a normal person 5 seconds to spit out but it takes Emma 3 minutes. and right when I was in the middle of my cardio, Sophia woke up and wouldn't stop yelling. So I took her out of her swing and after that she was trying to run me over. I got 30 minutes in and I'm hoping for more today. But we shall see.

I just know there needs to be a change, in myself and in this house. We all need to be more active and more health conscious.

Long awaited update!

I have not had much to write about these past weeks.  A lot of stress and crazyness and no one wants to hear that!
However, we have had a bit of fun in the mean time, we went bowling for Emma's first time with my friend Jaime and her daughter Jordan. It was lots of fun and I look forward to doing it again, even though Jaime beat everyone!! and Emma's score wasn't far behind mine haha.

I've been inspired to be healthier. So we were (and i say were because since the girls have been sick thats all fallen off track) trying to make healthier meals, more fruits and veggis, Homemade stuff father then pre packaged. Useing better ingredients. I've been doing lots of reading and found a few blogs that I am now stalking. One really fun one is www.thislunchrox.com  If you have kids it is a must check out.

We were also inspired by my cousin Karen to start family walks. The girls love it. Emma took her magnifying glass along to investigate bugs.
Agian tho, the sickness has put those plans to bed for awhile.

We went to the annual Marron family Easter party (hosted by my grandpa and grandma Elaine). The girls had fun even though Soph was a big under the weather.

We will be moving back to Grafton next month and everyone is very excited! This apartment has sucked so bad and our new place is very promising. PLUS we will be closer to Emmas best friend!! YAY! Lots of out door fun this summer I can see already!

Here are some pictures!
