Barefoot & Crazy

Yep...that's me!! And it's been since EASTER since I last blogged. I'm doing GREAT...huh? I just find so many other things to do in all the time I have...work, play with my sweet kids, cook, laundry, dishes, swiffering, more laundry, bathing kids, work some more...you know...the working mom syndrome. And I'm always tired...which I guess is "normal" but it's feeling pretty crappy. Today is actually just a crappy day in general. The last few weeks have been like this. We all had suspected cases of swine flu (never determined if it was or not), I have had horrible migraines, I'm hating my job more and more every day, I just want to be a stay-at-home mom and enjoy this time with my kids because it is going faster than I could have ever imagined! Easton is 3 1/2 now and is so smart and so funny and Eden Rose is my little mini-me and I love to see her facial expressions and listen to her new word or sentence of the day and I just want to be there...to be the one that gets to enjoy every potty training success, to kiss every booboo, to read and play and nap with them!! It's selfish-I know! And I know that they will get so much out of daycare and being with other kids...but I want to see them more!! The few hours I have every night is never enough! But, I am lucky to have a job and a home and a wonderful husband and perfect kids...so I try to see that bright spot. TRY being the key word! :)

Yesterday was Cass's 30th birthday. We woke him up with Happy Birthdays and sent him off to work where one of my bestests decorated his office for him and they made him homemade apple pie. (They have him kind of spoiled out there!) Then he came home to meatloaf, mashed potatoes, corn, rolls, brownies and ice cream. We even put a candle on his brownie and sang to him. He said it was the best birthday he'd ever had! That made me feel really good! Especially with the surprise party coming up on Saturday!! :) He has NO idea and I am loving it! :)

So...off to pick up my kiddos and home for leftovers (which means more time to play!) Peace & Love Y'all! :)
