-My husband cannot conserve wipes. He has to use at least 2-3 for each diaper change. And if it's a large poopy one? It's more like 10. And during those large poopy ones, you would think he was speed racing to the finish line. It's so sporadic and nuts.
-That being said. My husband is a mad good diaper changer. Me? I'm not the greatest. Like. Really. They turn out crooked, and half her butt cheek can be seen. So I will go ahead and give him credit there.
-I am terrible at answering my phone. I screen calls. I ignore things. I am just bad. I shouldn't even have a smartphone. I might as well have one of those nokia, no texting, no internet phones. And you know what? I would survive.
-I am a terrible dog owner. Bad. I hate taking him out, and I sometimes forget that they need to eat and drink before 6pm. I mean seriously, call the dog police on me. I have surely violated the law in some way or another.
-I am slowly x'ing twitter out of my life. It really is pointless and wasting too much of my time. So besides logging in here and there, I will most likely be absent from it.
-Instagram I love though. Does that surprise anyone one bit? Please say no. For the love of pictures... I will forever love pictures. Fine me @frommrstomama.
-I was a bit annoyed reading over and over and over about Jessica Simpson and lord forbid weight she gained. The media talked. The public talked. Moms talked. I read some really nasty stuff, and I was kind of shocked by it. I'm not sure why so many people were focusing on numbers. She's pregnant. Let her be pregnant.... but again, she's a "celebrity" and I guess those people never get a chance to breathe right. Yet alone be pregnant the "right" way.
-Which brings me to Snookie. Okay. I get it. She's not the most "ideal" mother. But who is? Don't answer that. Really. I believe motherhood can change people. I believe that no one can really know what kind of mother she will be until she is one. Why do I say this? Because the love that a child brings into a mother's heart is like nothing out there. No words can describe. No one person can explain it to another. It just is. And if she feels this love, the way a mother does... believe me, she will be a good mom. Regardless of what people have to say about her. No one has even given her a chance.
-I haven't brought a coupon to the grocery store in a long long {we're talking almost a year} time. Why? Because we buy a lot of organic, natural, healthy food. And that? Well that doesn't come with a coupon. Unfortunately
-I do however have boxes {the size of multiple humans} full of Christmas presents 2012... all I got for... Free. Jackets, shoes, coats, clothes, blankets, toys, kitchen supplies, books. Yes. Christmas is going to be fun this year.
-I have a really bad mouth at work. Really bad.
-I haven't gotten my hair cut since Elliana was.. I don't know... a baby? 9 months old? Lets just say... its been too long I'm pretty sure my hair stopped growing. Yes, that long.
-I cancelled our AT&T uverse yesterday because it is the worst service known to man kind. Unfortunately I haven't called the new cable/Internet company so no blogging for me for a week!
-today is my hot mama's birthday! Happy birthday mom I love you thissssssssssss much. Xoxox
I'm really bad about answering calls and texts, too. I have good intentions to text back, but I just get distracted or simply forget. LOL
ReplyDeleteSo true but the snookie. I mean who knows I dont think she is as dumb as she acts. I really like this post.
ReplyDeleteXoXo

You're not the only one. I can relate to most, if not all of those. Although, I do not have Christmas 2012 yet, how'd you pull that off?
ReplyDeleteOh I wish I had christmas already sorted. That's the kind of thing I aim to do but never happens! :)
ReplyDelete:) My hubby is the same way with wipes, you can often hear me yelling in my house "WIPE AND FOLD!"
ReplyDeleteThe things we put on the back burner once these cute little babes take over our life right?
ReplyDeleteI had my hair cut right before I went into labor then I didn't get it cut till she was 14mths old. ugh. :) love these post.
I read your blog regularly, but I don't normally comment. But I just had to ask. You have mentioned these boxes of Christmas presents that you got for free multiple times and I would love to hear the low-down. You don't have to reveal the actual presents in case your family reads your blog, but I'd love to know where you get deals from and how you get them for free. That would be a great post!
ReplyDeleteI need to be you!
ReplyDeleteThinking about Christmas makes me dizzy!
I just choked on my coffee at the phrase "cancelled my cable" and haven't called the new company yet. oh no, no. no. I'd die. Literally my TV addiction is not OK.
ReplyDeleteI so agree on the Jessica Simpson thing. Let the woman be!!! As long as she is healthy for her and the baby who cares how much weight she gains?! Seriously, it's the one time in a woman's life when she's allowed to gain weight and not feel guilt over it.
ReplyDeleteI don't do coupons for the exact shame reason! I love Instagram as well. I just post photos of my baby haha.
ReplyDeleteI really hate the emphasis everyone is putting on Jessica Simpsons weight. I hope she has plenty of people telling her that it's okay to gain that much weight and that it will come off in time so she isn't too hard on herself. And about Snooki? I agree. I think even the craziest party animals can be great mothers when it comes down to it. Something changes within us when we have a baby!
ReplyDeleteI love reading your blog each day! It's so fun and real. Thanks for sharing your life with all of us :)
ReplyDeleteI so agree with the Snookie thing. I'm sure she'll be a great mom! And unless she's watching your kid, no one really has a right to say anything negative about what kind of mom she'll be
ReplyDeleteMy hubby is a way better diaper changer than I am. I'm quick. He takes his time and makes sure he gets every...uh...crevice.
ReplyDeleteBut...we both use about 10 wipes for poops. Yeah. Haha. :)
I'm with your hubby on the diaper change when it comes to poopy ones. And it is a marathon because you have to get it all cleaned up before baby starts to squirm!
ReplyDeletePlease let us in on your secrets for finding all the christmas presents for free!??!
Love this little post. HOw did you manage to score Christmas Gifts already, and for free?!
ReplyDeleteLove this little post. HOw did you manage to score Christmas Gifts already, and for free?!
ReplyDeleteI am so glad to see you comment about Jessica Simpson! I feel the same way - leave her be - she was pregnant!!!! I put on way to much weight when I am pregnant too, actually I was just commenting to a friend about how I am 21-weeks and have already put on 20lbs, and now I may have to go on bed rest, which means I will probably gain a ton!
ReplyDeleteAnyway, so glad to hear someone support her!
My Hubs is like that with the wipes for poops. It's almost comical.
ReplyDeleteI'm with Andrew on the wipes, I always use far too many! And as for Snooki, I agree one hundred percent. People are too quick to judge sometimes.
ReplyDeleteJust requested you on instagram! :)
ReplyDeleteI'm "iu09".
As a person who has almost single-handedly ruined NJ's reputation with that awful show (obviously I live in NJ!), I am on the anti-Snookie bandwagon. She has made people from other states think we are ALL really like that. Ugh! Cannot stand her! Maybe she will grow up, and that will be great. And maybe she will move out of NJ??? :)
ReplyDeleteSo bad with my phone too. HATE when someone calls unless it's my mom!
I totally share your love of Instagram. I'm obsessed!
ReplyDeleteBecky,
ReplyDeleteno worries girl I am with ya on the not answering the phone, screening my calls, thing for the last few weeks, I have been feeling better and just kinda haven't been avail lol! Girl I have never tweeted but I am over FB like nobodies business and will never go back, I think it's the devil lol! YOu not using coupons what?? LOL, I thought you always would ha! SO you get me addicted then you stop ha! I am the same way with the cats lol, if the hubs didn't feed them in the am I would totally forget until like four ooopsy I mean they always have food down, walking stairs for me is still a challange at times and I really do get so busy I forget, thanks for the hubs! I am like your hubs with the baby wipes it used to drive my hubs crazy but he never said anything for he would never change a poopy diaper unless I was out and he had to bwhahhahha! The older littles get I think it was harder to change the diap for they squirmed so much more and you love pictures noooooo lol ha!
Hope you are well! Cute post...
xoxo
girl, i am so obsessed with instagram. sometimes i have to force myself to not post pictures because i've already posted too many. lol. its addicting!
ReplyDeleteHAHA! You crack me up!!!!
ReplyDeleteOur Safeway has buy $15 of produce get $3 off. Not much but it helps with organic produce! Frustrated with our food economy and that people have to balance affordability against serious health concerns!
ReplyDeleteLove this post!! I am so glad someone else feels the same way about Jessica Simpson.. she's like 5'2 or something.. and she's pregnant. What do they expect?
ReplyDeleteAlso totally believe Snooki will be a good mom... she is a fiercely devoted person.
P.S. I die without internet and TV.. so props to you!
