I literally suck at time management. When I have a free moment (mostly when Beau naps), if I'm not doing laundry, loading the dishwasher, remembering to brush my teeth/change my underpants/shower.... I just want to sit in front of the tv and zone out. Am I a bad person? Seriously. I LIVE for my DVR'd episodes of RHOBH and the other garbage that entices me.
How do stay-at-home moms balance life with.... say.... 4 kids? I have no clue how my mom did it with my bro, my twin sis and little sis. My mom says she doesn't remember how hard it was. Yeah right Jan. I call bullshit. You're just blocking it out, like a bad hangover.
I used to want 5 kids. I am rethinking this Mormon approach to my brood. Also, my c-section scar still hurts; not internally.... the actual scar. It feels like a burn. Weird. Tori Spelling was f'in cray-cray to have her kids so close together via c-section.
I was sad this morning because Beau has officially outgrown his 3 months Carter's clothes. Boo. 3M size is like spandex on him. Thankfully he is cute and has puppy hair. Also, he farts a lot which is hilarious.
He is looking much like a mix of my dad and Chris. Although, he has my coloring-- I think that may change. Beau's eyes appear to be blue. I'm crossing my fingers they remain that color.
I hung Christmas lights tonight. We are using the LED lights. No me gusta, or however you say it. They are bright enough. I need the Christmas miracle to happen at our house so Santa knows to hit up our chimney. (I want perfume for Jesus' birthday) I'm already planning next year's light choreography.... when I have more time. Look out Clark W.
The Jennie Show is a daily dose of how I view the world; no sweatpant too tight, no puppy too cute and no subject off limits. 39 years of life experience has brought me my awesome husband, an unruly but very soft-earred dog, and two delicious children. I love being a mom, cooking, ready historical biographies, running, skiing, Christmas, sauvignon blanc, lawn chairs and cheesy yacht-rock-style music (most often heard in a dentist office).

I had help when you and your sibs were little. Big Bird, Mr. Dress Up, Cookie Monster, Casey, and Finnegan were among the village that it took to raise the brood. In some ways, I think it was harder with one than with three or four---could be lonely sometimes.
Casey & Finnegan! Mr. Dressup was the coolest (creepiest?)! One does get lonely...and so does two :) I'm with you on the time management and I put too much pressure on myself with the things I want to get done (or that's what I tell myself). I have no idea how our moms did it with 4 kids, especially your mom with twins...that's cray cray.
