My husband has been working a lot lately. Normally, I would be all pissy about him never being home to help out, but since money has been tight lately, I have been trying to be more encouraging. Fortunately, Johnny is taking a week of his vacation time next week.
Honestly, this vacation couldn't come at a better time. With John working so much overtime, I have been feeling a little burnt out lately. I never feel like cooking (but I still do it). I never feel like taking the kids to the park (but I still do it). I never feel like washing/folding laundry (but I still do it). I am looking forward to a week of help. A week of cooking together, folding laundry together, and playing with the kids together. A week of fun with my little family.
Wish me luck:)

Kids nowadays
We went to the movie theater yesterday. My daughter was a huge brat. HUGE. Things were great until Porgie decided to start SCREAMING in the middle of the movie because she wanted to leave. Fine, let's go. When we got to the door, she started SCREAMING to go back in and watch the rest of the movie. Umm...no way little girl.
As I dragged my screaming daughter through the lobby, Izzy started whining to go to the potty. I quickly pulled them into the bathroom, where my daughter continued to SCREAM because she really really really wanted to go back to watch the movie. While Izzy was peeing, Porgie started with the gagging. Remember how my daughter used to make herself puke all the time? Well, she no longer does that - except for when she is really really really upset.
Because I am an awesome parent, I looked at her and said, "If you puke in this bathroom, you are going to be in BIG trouble!" She continued gagging. Another mother ran up to me and said, "Your daughter is choking!" I responded by rolling my eyes and ignoring my horrible child.
We finally made it out to the parking lot. I was sooooo angry with Porgie. I plopped her into her car seat and made a rule that there was to be NO talking the entire way home. She must have sensed my anger, because she didn't make a peep during the 20 minute drive.
It was a bad morning. I don't understand why my lovely, well behaved daughter decided to go insane. As punishment, we are going to skip the movies for a few weeks. I am kind of embarrassed to show my face in there again.

My bestest internet buddy
So, I have been baking like a fool lately. Yesterday I baked a loaf of bread, some french toast muffins, a chocolate cheesecake, and a lentil casserole. HOLY GUACAMOLE! In the middle of my baking frenzy, I managed to get chocolate all over my shirt. I thought "Gee Christy, it would be really great if you had an apron." Then the strangest thing happened. I went out to check the mail, and I noticed a package from my lovely friend Eva. I opened it up, and it was an APRON! How weird is that?
Taking a picture of yourself with an apron on while strategically avoiding your face is surprisingly hard. This was the best I could do. Eva just moved to Sweden this past Spring. Apparently the print on the apron is the royal pattern for the Swedish Princess's recent marriage. Now I can bake and feel like royalty at the same time:)
Thank you Eva. You are an awesome friend.
