An unfiltered view of life as a working mom and submariner's wife. This is real life, my life and it's not easy.

sorting
Tonight was a sorting night. I went through all Laurens clothes and put her preemie and NB size things in a bin, it was really sad to see them boxed up but amazing at the same time. When L came home I thought there was no way she will ever fit into 3mo size for a looooong time because she wasnt even 4 1/2 lbs! But here we are just 3 months later and she is fitting into 3m already. Unbelievable. Im getting ready to move here into her own room which means cleaning that place out. It became quite a dumping ground for a lot of different things. Dee loaned me her crib thankfully, I still cannot believe both my kids trashed their cribs!!! WTF? So Dee def saved me a couple hundred bucks which is good because L will be in the crib for about a year and a half and then thats it, she moves into the bunk bed with Cami. Bridgett gave me her crib but I looked it up and it was on this massive recall list so as it turns out I cant use it. I was going to get rid of the girl clothes as L grows out of them but Im still really attached to all the baby clothes. IM not sure if I can get rid of Masons things downstairs yet. There is no problem for me passing on the big kid stuff, but for some reason that I cant explain the baby clothes make me all sentimental. I'm hoping that by the end of next week L's room will be all taken care of including the closet! That is a nightmare. Other than that, my neck is feeling a bit better, still having some movement issues but my lack of activity has really helped things. We did head down to Norwich to watch dragon boat races and then to Friendlys for free ice cream but that was the big event of the week for me. I'll def be good to go by the middle of next week. Bill has been non existant around here, he worked today from 6-6 and Im sure tmrow will be more of the same. Weekends are a thing of the past and even though he warned me about this months ago, it still sucks. This is really selfish but sometimes its not that I want to spend quality time with him its the fact that i want to run an errand or two and I want to do it without the kids! It used to be Sat or Sun would be my time to get my nails done or go to Target for whatever, not any more. Whatevs. This too shall pass. Only 2 more weeks of school for Mason! Im really excited not to have to drive his ass back and forth to school everyday! This fall he'll take the bus and all i have to do is stick my head out the door and wave good bye! He'll be fine on the bus. I'm a little nervous because he's my baby boy. The kids have been reasonably well behaved the past few days since the Clorox clean up incident. Cami is so super whiney that I tell her to go to her room and come out when shes sweet. She complains about getting dressed...says shecant do it... but I know she can do it all except the zipper and snaps/buttons. So she keeps getting sent to her room until the whining and cry stops. I got really sick of raising my voice and Im working really hard not to yell and implament (sp?) the Love and Logic style of parenting. It makes a lot of sense and I've learned a lot at seminar. Its going to take a helluva lot more practice on my part though. Im not the easy going mom and tend to snap like a twig! Speaking of twigs, my ass needs to get in shape! I keep saying it but not doing anything about it. I suppose when Im really ready, Ill get the DVDS and start at it. Im really tired now, time for some sleep. Hoping I can make it to church in the AM.
