hello!!!!!!!! i'm back.

hello everyone! okay, so i am obviously only saying "hello" to those who read my blog. whoever you fabulous people are. or if you even exist. i have no clue. oh, wait, my mom reads it. does that count? she is my biggest fan and always has been. she thinks i could practically be a stand up comedian. which of course i could be. but it just doesn't work with my schedule right now.

okay, so back to the "hello" part. hello, and yes i am still alive and back to the blogging world. will i stay here awhile? i don't know. it seems i am too busy these days to "blog it up." but of course by popular demand..okay my mom. i am back and as funny as ever:)

so here is what i did today, since i can't think of anything "interesting" to write about at the moment that's what i will share with you.
i always enjoy reading about "a day in the life of..." it is amusing.
so here it goes. hang on to your hats, it is terribly "exciting." :)

let's see...i was awakened by a child yelling my name. "mimi" was calling for me to wipe her poopy butt. totally NOT the kind of thing you want to wake up to. ick.
after the butt wiping i went to get the baby up and asked mimi if she would like to to play in the crib with her sister. she said yes. awesome! this is my new "trick." listen up moms, it is a good one. i put both the girls in the crib and they jump around some, strangle each other, read books and have a grand ol' time. so needless to say i was very excited to have some time to myself this morning, especially since i was "rudely" awakened by the smell of poo. oh, but it gets better. the smell of poo continues. so i go to get the baby and i notice small balls in the crib that look like peanut butter balls. nope, not peanut butter folks. then i go to pick her up and she is soaked with pee and it looks like she has no diaper on. so obviously the diapers i use which i generally think are fabulous have failed me. so there you have it. my plan was AGAIN rudely interrupted by...yep, you guessed it, poo. i tell you, this poo thing is getting old. luckily my husband woke up "just in time." he graciously picked up the poop balls all by himself. i didn't even ask. now there's a real man:) so, he too was awakened by the smell of poo, or should i say the "feel."

i suppose after that we did the breakfast thing. it is all such a blur that sometimes i don't even know what happens in the next few hours to follow. and i am not talking about today folks. everyday. it is exciting, or shold i say, exhilarating? probably just exciting since i can't spell the other. and again may i mention that i have always been a great "speller." it is something i pride myself on, when others cannot spell, what, why, who, where and when let alone say it. however something happened. i can't quite explain it but it must've come right about the same time that i lost my mind. yep, that's when it all happened. right after children. i am not embarrased about it because most moms i know have voiced the same thing. so basically there are a bunch of attractive, very put together, exausted, dummies running around after children:) please don't be affended. at least i said, "attractive."

so back to my "thrilling" life:) let's see. during the baby's 1st nap i made a wreath for the door. it is one that i was fixing from the last time i made it. i do that a lot. i make something and then i don"t like it or i don't have enough of what i am using to finish it. i have to say, i like it now. it is cute. it kind of looks like something in a magazine. like country home or something. like it should be in a beach cottage. except it isn't. it's hanging on a condo, not by the beach but in the bay area. but the door is worn, so i suppose it could look like it's at the beach. oh, and it is a condo so it "sounds" like it's at the beach too! super then. i'll just pretend.

did i mention that mimi made "crafts" alongside me? she loves to do that.
and i love it too. she is creative and we work alongside each other. plus it keeps her occupied.

then we ate lunch, we watched cartoons in the morning there somewhere while the girls ate breakfast. i managed to get my coffee and a z bar sometime in there as well.
we played somewhere in there too. then the girls went down for their nap around two. neither of them slept right away which is a little uncommon. well mimi doesn't sleep right away all the time. but the baby does. however they are "forced" to take naps by the "nap nazi." who is that? ohhhh, i don't know:) by the way, my good friend coined the term, "nap nazi" and i just stole it 'cause it's just too great.

during their nap time i ate something and then i ate something again and then i had hot tea and prayed and looked at cook books. mind you, cook books which i will probably never make anything from, since i don't "do" recipes. at least not very often. okay, so pretty much not at all. i just throw things together and they taste like heaven. ha, ha! no really, it's true:)

i decided to take a little nap while my husband read his book on the couch. if we want to nap when the girls do we have to use the couch since both the rooms are taken over by the girls. they can't nap together because they won't nap together. and then i am one NOT happy mommy. so they take over the room so i can have peace and a break. a little "give and take" i suppose. give up something to get something MUCH BETTER in return.

now i am writing my blog...duh. while my husband is feediing the baby and making a fabulous mess. but i won't complain sice i don't have to do it myself. he got her up and changed her poo too. enough poo for this mama today. so i am thankful for all the help i can get.

when mimi wakes up we will do something as a family. whatever that means. maybe have ice cream, or better yet fro yo! or maybe a walk or pull the girls in the wagon. or play outside or...?

so that's it. you have officially read "a day in the life...of the fabulously funny, seriously sensational, wonderfully wonderful...tara. :) hope you enjoyed the ride.

p.s. stay tuned for the next blog. which with my luck will come out right about next year. but trust me, it will be worth the wait:)
