If we were sitting down with a cup of coffee these are the things that I would tell you are on my heart right now..
+ Jack is in the throughs of potty talk. He thinks all things poop and butt are hilarious. I think they are not. I try to discipline him but he just thinks its funny. Yesterday my girlfriend was bringing him home from lunch bunch with her twin girls who are in his class and he potty talked the whole way home she said, I was mortified! He got the iPad taken away... Everyone says that its the age and its boys. I'm still sick of it. I hope he stops soon. Mommin' aint easy y'all!
+ I am so behind on replying to blog comments. I love so much interacting with my followers and I have got to sit down and reply to all the comments. You'd think I would learn to reply as I read the comment. Something to work towards!
+ It has been so freaking hot this week. I'm talking in the 90s with intense humidity. It was cooler in August than it has been this week. I'm over it. I want to wear my fall clothes. My boys have nothing to wear right now. I need the fall temps to come and stay!
+ I have gotten in a terrible habit of writing my blog post the morning of. I was doing so well getting my posts written the night before or even a few days ahead. Lazy is what I call it. I need to get back into my routine. Nap time seems like the best time to do this!
+ Right now Brittany and Owen are getting me through my days! We have a group text going and man I'd be lost without them. It's amazing how you can never have met someone face to face yet feel so connected to them.
+ Trying to eat right and lose weight is a constant struggle. Why can't that be easy! Give me all the carbs and sweets, especially this time of year!
+ I am headed to the mountains this weekend with Jack and Graham to see my best friend. I hate driving on the highway and I'm slightly freaking out about doing this 4+ hour drive by myself with the boys. This will be our first road trip without Patrick. Thankfully they are both forward facing and can watch the DVD player, I'm thinking I'm going to pick up a new movie or two to surprise them!
+ I am a terrible housekeeper. My cleaning lady was here on Tuesday. My house was spotless. Some how today it looks like a bomb went off. I try to pick up daily. I blame it on two little boys who like to pull toys out everywhere. Also, my kitchen. Why does the kitchen become the landing spot for so much crap! I blame it on no mudroom. Le sigh.
So there you go. Some of my thoughts and confessions...and seriously, if you have any tips on helping me parent my potty talking boy pass them my way!!
*Linking up with Annie and Danielle
I love our group text, too! I was crying I was laughing so hard last night. 😂 I also want all the carbs and sweets this time of the year. (As evidenced by my pumpkin candy jar filled with Reese’s cups...)
ReplyDeleteYou crack me up! Hope you all have a fun weekend!
ReplyDeleteGarrett goes "what are you laughing so hard at??" I said oh nothing my friends are just hilarious HA! So jealous of your mountain getaway, bring the fall weather back with you please!!
ReplyDeleteThe less you pay attention to potty talk the faster it goes away. I even get in on it with them sometimes (replace words with poo in twinkle twinkle little star (poo) and watch them laugh like crazy). We also talk about how its okay at home, but not at the table or at restaurants and they are super good about respecting that. They are looking for the shock factor, so when its not there, its not fun anymore. Well, mostly. ;)
ReplyDeleteI love these coffee talks. They are so real. I was mortified when my friend sons were potty talking a few years ago. It was non stop, but I guess it is just how boys are. I hope you have the best time in the mountains this weekend. A little getaway is much needed.
ReplyDeleteIn our house, it's burping. Burping is apparently hilarious right now! *sigh*
ReplyDeleteThe potty talk won't go away any time soon. Connor says poop, fart and butt a million times a day.
