In case you were wondering . . .

. . . and I'm sure you were not. 

Things are C-R-A-Z-Y around this house with a hyper-active (almost) 3year old and a 1 month old. Our typical day begins around 6:30 when Emma wakes up hungry and ends around 11 when Emma finally falls asleep. In between is a blur most days. However, I have noticed a trend in my thought patterns: 

 - Why can't I manage to get all three of us downstairs before 9 a.m.?

 - What do you mean it is 11:00? I haven't had breakfast yet.

 - why won't Lexi pull down her own underwear to go to the bathroom? I know she CAN, she just WON'T!  

 - Will they kick her out of preschool for this? No, she'll get kicked out of preschool for being a diva.

 - Aren't newborns supposed to sleep 20 hours a day? Mine doesn't. 

 - Lexi - SERIOUSLY? How can it take you an hour and half to eat a peanut butter and jelly sandwich and orange slices? SERIOUSLY!

 - Why does my 3 year old insist on wearing a nightgown to nap? 

 - I have GOT to remember to sew the clothes on to the Barbie dolls today!

 - OK - both girls are occupied or sleeping - time to make a list of what needs done around here . . . nevermind. I'm needed. 

 - How is it possible that I do laundry every single day? 

 - Emma is the noisiest little thing. 

 - Would it be inappropriate to watch Real Housewives of New Jersey with Lexi in the room? yeah, probably. darn. 

 - Lexi's napping. Emma is . . . not. sigh. 

 - How can I get people to knock instead of ring the doorbell without being rude or hanging up a tacky sign? 

 - Have I brushed my teeth today? I know I showered.

 - I don't get this 'Bubble Guppies" show - how can fish go camping?

 - When was the last time I left the house?

 - How is it 5:00? I haven't had breakfast yet.

Emma's 1 month stats:

 - height: 20 inches (10th percentile)

 - weight: 9 lbs. 4 oz (51st percentile)

 - head circumference: 14.5 inches (71st percentile) 

she's short and round. like a pooh bear.
