Not so peachy

So I have to admit that I, too have bad days. You know, days where nothing seems to be going your way and you feel frustrated? Yeah I was having one of those days! I had to work this weekend and the last thing I wanted to come home to was a messy house. I mean, sometimes I wish my kids would just clean up without having to be told. But alas, I came home to "hurricane kids".... Messy house, stickers all over the floor, dishes still in the sink, laundry not put away.... Ughh! Yes, this put me in an instant bad mood. So as I start to empty the dishwasher, toots comes down stairs to help. Normally I appreciate her helping me but, again, I wasn't very happy and she wasn't moving as fast as I wanted her too. "hey toots, can you just please go inside?" "but I'm helping you, mama." so I tell her,"yes, I know, but mama is not very happy right now because kids don't want to help clean and mama has to come home and clean everything." to which she looks up at me all wide-eyed and innocent, and tells me, "I picked up all my stickers."
That brings a smile to my face, "yes you did, baby :) thank you."

I'm a messy what?!

I am teaching toots to clean up after herself. She is a big girl and I don't need to be cleaning her dishes from the table anymore. So after breakfast today, I tell her, "I'm going to throw my trash and put my dishes away because I don't wanna be a messy....." I was thinking 'messy-Jesse, messy-bessie' something along that nature... Toots finishes my sentence with "...gorilla!" lol! Yes, darling- we don't wanna be messy gorillas! Now go clean your plate! :D

"it's cuz I'm so beautiful"

So I was taking Star to school today. On the way there, there was a cop right off the main road trying to catch speeders. As we are driving past him, Star says, "did we pass him yet?" and I look back towards her seat and I see her duckling down. I asked her, "why are you hiding?!" and she tells me, "mom! It's cuz I'm wanted for being so beautiful!" like duh! Lol

Introduction to my everyday life

I have three beautiful kids. They are 13, 9, and 5. They keep me on my toes with the stuff they tell me. I love them with all my heart and feel blessed to be their mother. Have I mentioned they are all girls?! Yup girls! All with very different personalities! My oldest- we'll call her "angel" is a tomboy who is very athletic. She has played baseball since she was 4 years old, been a front lineman on a youth football team, and has so far broken her left wrist 3x and tailbone once... She's my saving grace! Now my 9 year old, we'll call her "star", is the total opposite! She's very girly, likes her nails painted, hair done... Likes to feel pretty! When she grows up, she wants to be an actress or a model. She is very head strong and will argue to the death (so to speak) with you about any and everything! My brother says it's because she's a Leo, lol. Her willingness to do her own thing, instead of being influenced by others will get her far! She is a spitfire! <3 now my youngest, we'll call her "toots" (with a u sound like foot) she is a mix of my other two! She likes to look nice but will also knock the senses out of someone. She is the picture next to the saying 'don't let this cute face fool you, I will knock you out' I will not rough house with her for the simple fact that she will (unintentionally) hurt me. But I love her more that life itself!
Now with all that out of the way- this blog is going to be about the way these girls make me giggle on an everyday basis! Hope you enjoy this blog! :)
