Am I really an oldie since I have all the Nsync CDs?!

You know how your parents would ask you if you knew so and so, who was famous when they were a kid and you looked at them like they were idiots and replied,
"No, I have no idea who that is..."'
And they would respond with "Man I'm old!"
Well today, I am 23 years old and I had my FIRST experience of that...
So in the kitchen it was the 8 year old I nanny Daisy Girl and her BFF (FFFFFFF)
(in their mind it means forever forever forever forever forever these kids don't mess around) Natalie. I thought it would be fun to teach the girls MASH (You know the Mansion, Apartment, Shack, House game from when we were 8?!)
So! I taught them how and we got down to husbands so I let them each pick one and then I picked two and
I said "ooo how about Justin Timerberlake!!!"
Both looked at me like I was an idiot,
"You know from Nsync!"
"N-what?!" Daisy said still having that idiot look on her face,
"OH NO! You don't know Nsync? Okay how about the back street boys?!"
"Katie, we don't know what those things are, we know the Beatles"
LOL "Of course you know who the Beatles are but I'm sorry they aren't from when I WAS A KID!"
These girls don't know my JT (whom I had a poster of in my bed room and yes I carved "I <3 JT love Mrs. JT") And then they thought I was a kid when the BEATLES WERE AROUND! WHAT?!
I guess it is safe to say I am not as 'cool' as I thought I was and I am definitely MUCH older to these 8 year old's then I feel...
(quick side note, pretty sure JT is still GOOOOOD LOOKING! and Back Street Boys just went on tour, so really am I that old?!??! Or am I now classified as one of those "oldies" that will follow these bands and go to all 4 of the 'farewell tours' and my kids never even know who they are?! I guess one will find out in a couple years... But I believe I already have my answer.... ugh.

Caught up.

I feel like I always get caught up in cleaning;

Whether it be laundry, dusting, sweeping, mopping or vacuuming.

I am home with my kiddos, but I feel like I miss out on so much being so worried about keeping a clean house at all times.

SO today I cleaned for an hour and have been hanging out with my kids ever since and all I can say is WOW! It has been the best day, full of riding bikes, puzzles, snuggles and now rock, paper, scissors. :)

Or the way Ghianna and Brayden like to play Rock, paper, scissors, eyeballs! :)

Sometimes I feel like I loose sight of the important things,

I only have 8 more months until G and BrayBray go to Kindergarden and then pretty soon Keybug will be going, I need to soak up all the time I get with them and not worry about a little dust. 

So no more wasting my time typing about it! Gotta run and hang out with the coolest kids I know!

Crafty panties..

Well, the last few weeks have been us battling with TONS of things including the following....

Tummy bug.

Christmas.

New Years.

Hand foot and mouth disease.

Insomnia. 

So, it is safe to say our crafty panties have been hanging on the line since before the holidays.

But today, I have decided to dust those puppies off and put them back on.

Gbabe is ready to break out the glitter glue and we are ready to make Valentines! 

That's right people we are starting early, so each one has love poured into it.

So VIP list (you know who you are) keep your eyes pealed for your sweet pink crafts in the mail within the next few weeks 

<3

Sippy cups for all ages.

The other night I was drinking from my "Mommy's Sippy Cup" wine glass and G asked, "Mommy what does that say?!"

So we sounded it out together and she starting laughing and says, "That is NOT a sippy cup!"

***

A couple nights later I asked her what she wanted to do when she got older and she said....

"Drink wine out of my own sippy cup"

HAHAHAHA So I guess my mommy's sippy cup is in fact a sippy :) and super cool :)

*And when I mean older I mean 55 years old* <3 

Mommy Language VS Daddy Language

As I listen to myself throughout the day I hear, 

"No Thank you"

"Please don't do that"

"No running"

"Inside voices, Keylee is sleeping"

And so many more it is ridiculous...

And the reaction I get is okay mama.

And then they are right back to the thing I just commented on..

BUT if Mitch is home and says No or don't do that both girls will listen the first time..

WHY?!

Am I not scary enough!? 

Is it that I am vertically challenged?!

Is it that they see me 24/7?!

Do they not understand mommy language but they do daddy language?!

I am lost.

I am confused.

I am white flagging it... For the moment. 

By tomorrow I will have a way they will listen the first time..

Blow horn...

Whistle....

Shock collar?! (KIDDING!)

I WILL FIGURE THIS OUT!

(by eliminating the blow horn, whistle and of course shock collar ideas... I think that is a good start..)

Tacky...

I know you think it's tacky;

Don't remind me....

I know you don't care;

so stop reading...

I know you think it's cliche;

stop keeping score...

I love my husband and I love everything about him.

I love spending nights in with him, 

I love taking our girls on a long walk to the park, 

I love sipping wine with him and having deep conversations,

I love that we are best friends,

I love looking over at him during one of our shows and smiling at the funny part and he smiles back,

I love watching him play with our girls,

I love playing tickle monster and almost peeing my pants and screaming ouch and he calls my bluff,

I love playing just dance and calling him a cheater,

I love just looking at him and smiling and him smiling back at me and we know what the other is thinking,

I love coming home to a spotless house and he acts like it's nothing,

I love snuggling at night with him,

I love how he calls me everyday at lunch when no other guy at his work does that,

I love waking up early and making his lunch,

I love giving him a pedicure,

I love working with him at church,

I love seeing his face when I surprise him with his favorite meal,

I love having my best friend by my side at all time.

I love my husband so much and you might think it's annoying, you might think it's a cliche, you might not care and I don't mind that. 

Sometimes a girl has to vent, and sometimes it isn't always bad;

So don't judge me for the good.

I love you Mitty and I thank you for always being my better half. :) 

I'm the luckiest woman in the world.

Eat your heart out ladies :)

You know you are lucky when...

Every time you think of your significant other you smile,

Thanks for always making me smile Mitty, I don't know where I would be without you.

I am one lucky lady...
