Sharing

Today Elijah (3) asked for a popsicle as his snack, he's been good so I thought "why not?" right? Tiernan (1) can't feed himself popsicle, so I let him have a little taste of Elijah's and gave him some kix for his snack... Tiernan was not satisfied with this what so ever! He wanted popsicle too, and started to throw his cereal onto the floor. Next thing I know I look over at Tiernan's now very quiet high chair where I see Elijah sticking the popsicle into Tiernan's mouth while chowing down on his little brothers kix cereal, as fast as Tiernan could feed him of course! What? Wouldn't you think he'd be gloating over his "big boy snack" while Tiernan had the "baby snack." Not my Elijah.

Right before hand Elijah was "calling" everyone he could because he wanted me to take a nap and see a doctor. Apparently a headache caused my lack of sleep requires a trip to the ER! Mer mer (my mom) was his first call, seeing as she works at kinneys he was pretty close. Next was papa (my dad) who is driving home from florida. Elijah told papa to bring every one popsicles, and thats how the whole "mess" started! Yes mess! Now I had kix all over my floor (boy do those thing travel), and red popsicle dripped from Elijahs chair to Tiernan, all around it, and on the try.

Neither one has gotten enough sleep so I am very surprised either one is behaving well today. Tiernan went to bed at his normal time, 8:00. But woke up in the middle of the night, around 1:20 for more Tylenol. He's getting his molars, all but one has popped throw and he sure is miserable lately. Elijah was a good boy yesterday so daddy and I watched night at the museum 2 with him and were up to 10, which is an hour and a half later than his normal bed time. Tiernan woke up at 6am this morning but played in his crib until I could fully wake up about 45 minutes later. His normal wake up has been around 9 this week. Elijah got up an hour or so early himself, 7am.

I look forward to nap time very much when I'm home alone with them. The magical time is normal noon to 2:30. Due to the change in sleep patterns Tiernan wanted to nap at 10:30, well doesn't that just mess things up! Now they wont nap together... Elijah went down at 11:30 but it took him a while to stop playing, I mean fall asleep. When Tiernan woke up I was tired and miserable with a headache. I wasn't letting Tiernan feed himself so he was actually calling to daddy (who just left to go back to work), and his brother "Lijah!" Needless to say he woke up from his nap early too! Right now I have 2 hours till my hubby is suppose to get out of work, but never really does!

Some times I wonder why I don't drink! ha ha not really...

You have to start somewhere!

For a little while know I have been wanting to create a blog, but I was really unsure as to what I had to talk about! Im not an expert on anything, I don't work and didn't go to college... I am a stay at home mom and have been for about two months! I am constantly posting updates on my facebook about all the cute, new, scary, bad, and amazing things that happen on a day to day basis as a stay at home mommy to my crazy children! I recently posted that I should write a book, and a lightbulb turned on! Thats what I can blog about! I am an expert at my children.

So here it is, my very first post n my very first blog. I don't think my high school "blog" ever counted for real that is. I've had live journal, deadjournal, melodramatic and others that I can never seem to commit to! I think that would be because I never had anything worth writing about. My hopes are that this will be different. I have always loved writing but I have to confidence in it, or really in much of anything.

I know that this will start out hairy like most but hopefully will get better with time. I'm really not sure how blogging should go and I'm sure it will take time to get the hang of everything here on blogger. But I'm willing to try and make this work. If for nothing/nobody else I hope to use this to better myself and my growing family.

Here's to a new beginning!
