I like to blog even when I don't have internet

I brought my laptop to Kentucky, because John's dad informed us that he had wireless internet. But there was some confusion, and I was unable to get on the internet. Since I still wanted to document the trip, I decided to type entries into Word to post later. Enjoy...

December 20th
Mama is losing her mind. I somehow forgot that other people's lives do not revolve around nap schedules. Other people have sheer curtains on their windows, letting in tons of light during nap time. Other people have nice furniture, which babies love to ruin. Other people do not get up at 6 am everyday. We are here, but things are not good. My kids won't nap. AT ALL. I am not sleeping well - the bed is too soft, the pillows are too fluffy, and my room is too warm. My head is pounding. My kids are screaming. Our nine day adventure may have just turned into a 4 days romp. Mama is losing her mind.

Christmas was CRAZY. My kids got so many gifts that I am not sure where we are going to put them when we get home. Actually, I am not sure how we are going to get them all into our van. My mother went OVERBOARD. She spent so much money on gifts, that I felt bad for not buying her more. Actually everyone bought the kids too many gifts. I'll have to take a picture of all the loot.

Things are much better in the napping department. The kids have settled into a more predictable schedule. But regardless, I am ready to go home. I am tired Internet. VERY TIRED. I am not sleeping well, we are on the go all day, and I am sick of being around my relatives CONSTANTLY. I long for peace and quiet. I long for pointless trips to Target. I long for my comfy couch. I long for our playroom. I long for home.

I think my MIL is getting sick of us. Today she commented that they "needed a break from the kids." I understand this need, but I thought that it was rude to actually say it. So now I am feeling the need to leave the house even more. Ugh. My kids are being run ragged.

Today is the anniversary of when John and I started dating. We have been together for 11 years! Tonight we are going to go eat at the restaurant where we first met. So romantic!

December 27th
John is spending the day with some friends, so I am spending it with family. At first I was pissed that John wanted to hang out with his friends, while I NEVER get a moment's peace, but now I am kind of glad. I can go spend the entire day with my family, without hearing him bitch and moan.

Update: John's plans with his friend fell through, so he ended up spending the day with my family. It was actually a blessing, because Porgie has caught a stomach flu. Over the course of the day, she vomited 3 times. Her fever is really high, so I think we might pack up and leave tomorrow.

Going home...

Farewell

I think all of the stress from our upcoming trip is starting to wear me down. Everyone has been pissing me off - especially my husband. To be honest, John has been getting on my last fucking nerve. He'll be telling some stupid story about work, and I'll get an overwhelming urge to punch him in the face. Is that normal?

Anyways, we are leaving tomorrow. I am taking my computer with me, but I am not sure how much time I'll have for blogging. More than likely, I probably won't be back to blogging until January. What are you guys going to do without me? How will you survive without my boring stories?

To ease the pain of not having me around the blogsphere, here are a few pictures of my adorable offspring...

Oh, and Merry Christmas!

Kids are fun

I have been trying to get into the Christmas spirit these last few days, so I decided to bake some holiday cookies with the kids. We had some leftover icing from Izzy's Elmo cake, so I decided to decorate the cookies too. Look...

Porgie was absolutely smitten. For two hours, she babbled on and on about Frosty. After dinner, she was finally given the opportunity to eat Frosty...After three little nibbles, she was done. I wish I could stop after only three nibbles.

Although we haven't seen any snow here in New Jersey, Porgie is definitely ready for the white stuff. She loves wearing her mittens and scarf. But clothes? Not so much...
And finally, here is a picture of the kids with Santa...
As you can see, Porgie isn't really a fan of chubby old men. Did you notice Santa's death grip on Porgie's leg? She was KICKING him. Poor old guy.
