Sophia is driving me nuts right now! haha but I love her so much. She has been goofy all day, and it's been enjoyable listening to her and Olivia play today. Yesterday was not so fun, I thought I was going to just lose it! The kids whined all day and I was having morning sickness all day, and they were climbing all over me! I did NOT want to be touched.
Around 7:30pm Jeremy looked at me and said, "get dressed and go somewhere" I asked where and he said anywhere I want. The thought did cross my mind to drive 3 hours to Green Bay and get a hotel and shop the next day.......BUUUUTT I don't think that's what he was talking about. I called my mom, picked her up and we went shopping at Kohls and Walmart. It was nice to get out of the house and away from the whiny kids for a few hours. I didn't come home til midnight and the kids where in bed and the house was clean. Once again my husband saved the day! Today ended up much better. The kids were pretty much happy all day. We had three very yummy meals. I got to lock myself in the bathroom and do my nails and toe nails. Yup I'd have to say today was much, much better.
Well my crazy Sophia girl is in the bathroom getting ready for bed and calling for me. I let her stay up way late tonight because she was such a good girl today. I think we are going to go snuggle and fall asleep in her fort (we made the bottom bunk bed into a fort with a blanket) maybe we will read a book with the flashlight first :)

Cravings?
While pregnant with both my daughters I never really had pregnancy cravings. Yes every once in a while I really wanted something and would eat it just because I was pregnant. This time around WOW the cravings have come!! Someone mentions a food and I almost go into tears wanting that food RIGHT NOW!!! Jeremy had it so super easy with me the first two pregnancies, but to tell you the truth I think he likes running and getting me stuff lol.
Last night I was so tired after church and not feeling the best. All I wanted to do was eat the chips my mom brought me because I HAD to have them. Went to the cupboard and gone my chips were gone! Jeremy and the girls ate them all. I very kindly turned to my loving husband and asked, "hun, were are my chips?" The look of terror came across his face. He replied, "Oops we ate them, I'll go get you more!" He jumped right up and put his shoes on. I didn't ask for him to get more but he so kindly did. Well if he was going to the store he might as well get pizza too, then I don't have to make dinner (oh and maybe another kind of chips).
He returned with two bags of chips and pizza. I was a very happy momma that night :)
So since I never had cravings with my girls, maybe this time we are having a boy? I don't know either way I am happy :)

have I lost my mind? yup!
You know sometimes as moms we make mistakes...some serious and some not so serious. Somethings are just plane ol' common sense, but it seems like when you have kids common sense slips your mind.
Like last night.....
I put Olivia to bed and thought it would be fun to let Sophia play with playdoh. Sophia doesn't get to play with it much because Olivia will eat it lol. I always give Sophia a cookie sheet and set her at the table, she loves making "pies" and "cookies" with her little rolling pin and cookie cutters. But for some reason I let her play on the living room floor. I still gave her the cookie sheet, while thinking, she always keeps the playdoh on it so it will be ok. HAHA not the case!! Of course she kept the playdoh on the cookie sheet like a good girl, but what I failed to realize is all the little pieces that fall off. For example...when using a cookie cutter with playdoh, there is always the little pieces that stick in the corners of the cookie cutter. Or the parts stuck to the rolling pin.
My carpet was covered with tiny, little pieces of bright, colored playdoh!
To my surprise, it wasn't hard to clean up! I now understand why my mom always made us play on the kitchen floor. I picked up the larger pieces and vacuumed the rest. There was a couple spots that got stepped on and wouldn't vacuum, but no worries, I just put a wet towel over them and they washed right up.
So this silly mistake of playdoh in the living room didn't turn out too bad. BUT next time my children want to play with this colorful, clump of joy.....it will definitely be at the kitchen table.

A perfect date
My husband is very bad at planning surprises. He always gives himself away. But with much thought and love he planned a date night for the two of us and even got a babysitter with out me know. We hadn't been on a date alone since Sept. I believe. We went to the Casa Calabria for some yummy Italian food.
I was so excited to go out with my husband, I couldn't stop smiling, I was like a giddy, little school girl who's crush just smiled at her. I wasn't able to get myself all done up for the night but still the same my husband smiled across the table at me like I was the prettiest thing he ever saw.
The next morning I wasn't feeling well, so Jeremy got up with the girls and let me sleep in. And to top it all off he made breakfast and brought it to me in bed. When I finally felt a little better I came down stairs to a clean kitchen (dishes done and everything).
My wonderful husband puts up with alot from me with my mood swings and crying spells. But he still loves me.
I love you so much Jeremy Paradowski!

Just saving a little
My husband and I are working on trying to cut cost were we can. The other day I brought the idea to my husband that we should try cloth diapering. On average for one child being in diapers for 3 years (I potty train sooner around 1.5 yrs) it will cost a family about $2,300!! FOR ONE KID!! We want 5 kids, I didn't even want to do the math for that one. I just can't believe how much money would be spent on something we throw away daily! That's a lot of money to throw away.
So my search began...
I started looking for the easiest diaper out there, because Jeremy is not liking the idea of changing a cloth diaper. I was looking for an one size all-in-one diaper and I found this all-in-two diaper called "Best Bottom Diaper". The cover is wipable on the inside and the inserts snap in, all you need to do is snap out the soiled insert, wipe anything that might have gotten on the cover and snap in a new insert. NO STUFFING INSERTS!! Jeremy got really excited when he saw how easy these diapers are. I ordered one cover and 3 inserts just to test try these diapers. I can't wait for them to come in.
Next I contacted a friend of mine who just potty trained her daughter (also cloth diaper babies potty train sooner!) she has tons of "bumGenius" diapers. she is letting me borrow some to see how I like them.
My friend Katie makes her own cloth diapers and really liked the sound of the "Best Bottom diapers" and after I get mine she said we can get together and see if we can make some.
So in all I have many options on saving money in the diaper area. Oh I also am going to make my own cloth wipes :) I'm very excited to get going on cloth diapers.
I'm not doing it for "the environment"
I'm not "going green"
I'm not trying to "save the planet"
I'm not against disposable diapers
The bottom line is....I just want to save some money...maybe we will be able to go on a family vacation with all that saved money :) I see Disney in our future!
