I'm alive and well! Still here! Just busy and honestly very distracted with a busy 6 month old and my hyper 4 year old. Where does time go?? I have been keeping my cousins kids during the summer for free because well, I know what its like when you're just starting out and daycare is expensive yall!! So 4 kids during the week and no free time on the weekends means no time to write... ANYTHING! We've been busy. Busy. Busy... Aquariums, Marine Museums you name it we've been doing it... But I'm gonna post pictures... Voting

I must be crazy

I must be! Because not only did I allow a puppy into my house, I am also considering another baby. Not anytime soon but after Tink bug was born I completely was against more babies. I went through a tough stage where I didn't even think I could handle the two I had. I was depressed, tired, sad, irritable, you name it I had it. And why? Because I wasn't prepared. With boogie I had a lot of help. My mom lived two doors away, I had people there all day. Not with Tink. Luckily we've adjusted because I didn't know what if it was ev going to get better.

Now I spend my days with Dunkin, Tink, and boogie. He goes to preschool Tuesday and Thursday which makes those days difficult because Tink has settled into a routine where she doesn't want to leave the house. She only sleeps when she's in her pack n play for naps, night time is always up in the air because you never know what kind of mood shell be in. Her swing is her best friend and she loves her brother.

The puppy is another pain. He is well, a puppy. It's like having two babies in the house.

We're alive, just crazy busy.

My husband is going through the same issues we had over summer and he is distant, void, just not wanting to participate in our family. So momma is literally doing everything. And I'm ok with that.

he has changed and not in a good way. He did something that was pretty much the ultimate act of betrayal and thought nothing of it. He truly thinks his behavior is acceptable and it isn't. On top there is other crap that I'm not ready to discuss.

Having a 10 week old is a great distraction. Bare with me while I go through this I promise I'll be back to my happy self again soon.

Two is better than one until...

Your hands are full, both kids are screaming, you still have to unlock the door, change the baby, feed th baby, unload the groceries, make lunch for the toddler (spaghetti- o's anyone??), put said groceries away, and start dinner.

Chaos. My life is utter chaos. And I wouldn't have it any other way. Gracelynn will no stand to be sat down unless she is within sight of someone entertaining her. Boogie wants someone to play with him as well and there is always some toy he "just" broke and needs fixing... I however, can say this... God knows what he is giving you and he expects you to do it. And I do.

Most days I can say that the chaos is organized and I manage to manuever my way through the day without ripping my hair out. That is until my 26 year old man child makes his way home at which point I undoubtedly want to stangle him for the 5th pair of shoes being left in front of the door or in the middle of the hall... You see my very ambitious and crazy four year old has an obsession with shoes. Especially my uggs. I have 4 pair and they usually end up right in the middle of the hall. My husband comes home and must think that since momma has left her uggs there I can too! But! It isn't momma who has done this and since mommas has picked these shoes up 1653 times since 10 am she has decided to leave those shoes there for an extra 5 minutes... So of course when momma sees work boots added to the mess she FLIPS OUT...

I don't get how someone his age can forget this same thing day in and day out. EVERY DAY Y'all! it isn't like this is new. Apparently to him it is...

But I will say this, with all the craziness that is my house my children brighten everyday and every night. Here are some pics to make up for my lack of posts

What No body told me

Nobody told me that having two children to care for was going to be so hard. No one told me breastfeeding could make or break a person and practically kill the first few weeks of being thrilled about baby. Nobody told me that even though I wanted to quit more often than not, I would look at Gracelynn and I would automatically remember why I was enduring one of the hardest things I have done.

These past 4 weeks have been full of ups and downs. I've cried, yelled, cried, laughed, and enjoyed every moment I've had with my two beautiful blessings.

The two of them are so polar opposites, Boogie was so laid back and relaxed, and Gracelynn well lets just say she is a princess to a T.

I promise to post pictures and do a one month update... Its been next to impossible to get on the computer with these two munchkins.
