Is she still complaining?

Is it lame that I left California 18 months ago but still cry when I see pictures of the California Coast? Before I lived in Monterey I could appreciate winter even though I didn't care too much for it. After living on the Central Coast I just go through the changing seasons here in Utah like a zombie. What I wouldn't give for some sea mist and salty air. 

I know I'm a complainer, but California ruined me man. I gotta get back there!

What do we do all day?

I found this over at Team Boo. It gave me a chance to say OH SNAP and it reminded me that I'm not lazy because I'm at home every day. I'm on duty 24/7 fool!

Dear Payton~

I love your squishy cheeks and your chubby little toes. I love that you'll randomly come hug me and tell me you like me. I love that you sneak into my bed at night. I love the smirk on your face when you're being defiant.

I love everything about you, except for the fact that you're almost FOUR and I'm still wiping your butt.

Honestly.

I've never known a human being that poops as often as you do. You've been potty trained forever.

It was cute the first few times you yelled out, "MOM, CAN YOU WIPE MY BUTT?!" But now it happens 8 times a day. Can we be done with this?

Love
Mommy

Control

Like all mothers, there are times when I feel like I have no control over my kids or my life. I have a very specific routine for those times when I feel like the worst mother in the world. I feed and bathe my kids, give them a big hug, put them to bed, put on my jammies, get under my heated blanket, then I watch "Toddlers and Tiaras". It's a freak show that always brings me out of my funk.

Example:

Tom Hanks made the most amazing spoof of this show.  It is totally worth it to watch this entire clip.  I laughed so hard I peed my pants.  No Joke!
