*quiet*

Now that its summer I am adjusting to not having Kayden in school... It is fun... and sometimes overwhelming. During the week I babysit for a family down the street. During the school year I watched their 19 month old boy, now that school is out I also watch his sister who was in Kayden's kindergarten class. Is it horrible to say that by the time they get picked up in the afternoon I sometimes feel like my mind is about to jump out the window? Having five kids 5 and under in my care all day is sometimes just overwhelming. Sometimes I just need a moment to myself...



Here I am, taking a moment. Sitting on the floor, in the only room in my house where I can *sometimes* be alone... The bathroom :)

Go see other people self portraits here.

I will never look at a Dodge Ram in the same way again...

I have to say first off that I have never REALLY looked at a Dodge Ram, but from now on I will give them all my respect... I mean just look at this...

Just when you thought it was safe to go to the bathroom...

It is never a good idea to turn your back on a young child, especially if they are eating Spaghettio's... How do you spell that???

I leave room for one minute... Ok, maybe three... And this is what I come back to... And yes, he knows how to use a spoon... And yes, beneath all that wild blonde hair he really is a boy. He has all the necessary parts to prove it. He looks like a boy to me, even though EVERYONE thinks he is a girl. He especially looks like a boy when he is messy like this.




And of course, all photo's are clickable for your viewing pleasure.

Thank you to Karli for this little gem... and for a wonderful, much needed chat tonight.

100º in the shade... SPC "environment"

When you live in the middle of the desert you don't do much in the summer... It is simply too hot. About the only thing we do around here outdoors these days is lounge around in the shade or swim in the pool in the afternoon after the sun is not quite directly above us... We don't want to burn to a crisp after all. And that takes only a few minutes with my boys, even after they are slathered up with sunblock. They are sooo pale, not like me. They got their father's skin.

Here I am in the blistering heat, see my sweaty hair? Sexy no? And yes, I added some filters and what not to this to make it look more like it felt. IT WAS HOT! :)




I tried to find the least boobtastic photo's of me in my swimsuit... Every photo had an amazing amount of boobage showing, so... whatever.

And here are the little ones hanging out in the shade and by the water.

A day in the life...

A small glimpse into our lives... You will see something like this at our house a minimum of several times a day.








They were being Pirates and Spiderman... I guess you are automatically a pirate if you wear a bandana... go figure. Aaaaaarrrrrrr ;)

Worlds worst mother award

If there was an award for the Worlds Worst Mother it would go directly to me right now.

Tonight was Kayden's kindergarten graduation. We have been getting him ready all last month. He had lines to say in it... Songs to sing... They were singing songs and all kinds of adorable, bring your video camera and shoot lots of photo's, things...

WE MISSED IT!

Not only did we miss it, I did not even think about it until one of the other mother's called me and asked where we were and told me all about it. All about the video they showed with Kaydens picture in it first IN A CAP AND GOWN, and him saying that he wants to be Batman when he grows up.

I don't really even know how I got so mixed up, but I do know that I suck. I suck big time. I am sitting here typing and crying and knowing that I SUCK, and I can never get those moments back ever.

WORST MOTHER EVER.

This one is right up there with the time our computer died and we lost every picture we had of Kayden's first couple months of life including the photo's of him being born...

Awesome. :(

Wow!

This kid is rockin' in the talent department...

I don't remember eating that?!?!

I have the stomach flu... Its good times.

My kids have kind of had it all week. Jett was puking on Sunday... Then again all day yesterday. Kael threw up yesterday morning and has had the shits for a few days... I won't say "diarrhea" because that word is gross. And really this whole experience can be summed up in those two words... The shits... Not to be confused with "The shit", because that would imply that it is cool. And it is so not cool.

And now, just now I was laying down feeling tired and not so hot, when it hit me. I don't know if there is anything ickier that knowing you are about to vomit... And then actually doing it. Blech! I have been feeling a little off all day but now I actually feel like ick and death all rolled up into a nice little package. Awesome.

Needless to say I have not listed anything today in my shop... That is going to have to wait until I can move more than just my typing fingers.
