Guess who's back....

I haven't had much to say lately. Got through the holidays without killing a kid, which is amazing! It was the longest two weeks ever! We made it through and everyone was happy. Went to a bed and breakfast in the hill country for a few days and did nothing. literally. nothing. It was good to decompress for a few days and when we came home I felt good. Now we are back to regular schedule and I guess that means I have to get back to being a housewife. Man I hate that. I am a horrible housewife. I really don't know why. my mom cooked and cleaned and she never complained about it. So I feel that I grew up with a good example. I think I am just lazy. shocker! Whatever. I'm doing the best I can and I just keep telling hubby that I never pretended to be Molly Maid. He knew all this about me when he married me so live with it. Now, just to make sure you understand, we do not live in a pig sty. Everything is supposed to be put back in it's place. clutter is bad. I just don't dust and clean the bathroom as much as I should. enough said. (PS I have really healthy kids so don't believe the hype that you must have a sterilized house!)

Anyho. my middle son turned 8 today. I remember the day he was born, just like all three of them. It was really kinda funny, now that is, not then. We took my 8 month preggo pic that morning and it's funny how huge I was! Not long after T went to work I started feeling, literally, a foot between my legs. didn't feel that with baby 1 so that was weird. Called the dr and went in. Guess who was dialing 5 weeks early? That's right, me! Not only that but it's not the feet that should be coming out first. And yes, I was driving myself and my 3 year old son to the dr. and then to the hospital. While hubby tried to get to the hospital and take our son home after finally finding someone to watch him. We lived in California and had no family and really no friends to speak of. They took me into the OR and had me all full of drugs. 7 minutes after T walked in all gowned up I had a son. The emergency C section took 7 minutes. Because he was so early and breech they were concerned that his head might get stuck and that is a bad thing. That is really the last thing you want stuck up there! Anyway, out came this beautiful blond blue eyed boy (who looks nothing like his father!) and now he is eight. He is such a great kid. so full of emotion and love and sweetness and joy and sometimes not so much happiness but that's ok. He is who he is and he has always been himself. doing things his way from the moment he was born. I love my kids. I love being their mom. They drive me to the edge of a cliff sometimes but I don't know what I would do without them. I'm not super mom or even the best mom but my kids now that they can count on me, trust me, and that I love them more than anything in this world. And that is what I am good at.
