Randomess From An Exhausted Momma

Well, last night did not go so great either. I'm hoping my sweet baby girl has hit a growth spurt and that she's not morphing into the spawn on Chucky. Ok, that's a bit dramatic. Let's just say that I hope this is a phase because I am tired!

I have some errands to run today, so I can't go home to rest...but tomorrow that bed is all mine!!! I'm not gonna feel guilty either. NOPE, I'll do whatever it takes to survive. Ha! Now that stupid song is stuck in my head...thank you Gloria Gaynor and the 1970's Disco movement.

Speaking of surviving, I have to endure the stupid line at the County Clerks office to pay the taxes on our cars. Nothing like waiting until the last possible minute. Then I have to run by the audiologist to have my IFB fixed...that would be my earpiece for work. Finally, I'm meeting a lady to sell Eli's baby bedding.

Ya'll, I have discovered the equivalent to online yard sales. Not only do I not have to leave the comfort of my home, I can also sell my own things...perfect for when you live in the country. People even get into bidding wars. Ha!

The final thing on my "to do" list is to hit up the park again. Yeah, we're back to bribery...I mean positive reinforcement. Who knows, maybe all my stars will align perfectly tonight and I'll get some sleep.

A New Decade

Happy 2020, everyone! I know I'm a month and a half behind, but ya'll, January was brutal! Not brutal in a tragic kind of way but in a "life will wear you out" kind of way. It started off with the flu...times three! Eric, Ellie and I had Flu B and missed the first week back to school and work. Then Eli was diagnosed with Flu A two weeks later. Thankfully, my in-laws stepped in to help so that we didn't have to miss any more time at work. On top of the sickness, we listed our house for sale. The work it takes getting ready for market is just crazy. But we also have people coming in and out of our home at all hours and it's just kinda overwhelming. Plus, we are finalizing everything with the builder. In full transparency, working with the builder has been the easiest part! Maybe I'll do a little update on the whole building process later this week. Now that the dust has settled on 2020, I'm going to try my very hardest to keep this litt

Mother's Day Memories

I hope everyone had a wonderful Mother's Day. I want to start by saying that my heart and prayers go out to the "Mommies in Waiting" and to those who are missing their Momma on this special day. You are not forgotten. We started Mother's Day at church with our crew, and we were lucky enough to be in the nursery. We let Eli tag along, and he helped facility "Derby Races" around the table while the kids were on riding toys. It was a hoot! We also made cards for the mommies. We had some leftovers at home for lunch and then I spent some time laying out while Eric worked on the pool. It was almost 90 degrees and the perfect way to relax on my special day! Eric made me a shrimp boil for dinner, and we took a family trip to Dairy Queen. They also have presents coming later this week for me. Basically, they are awesome!

Hit Me With Your Best Shot

Have I ever told you that Eli loves sports? Ha! I look back at him with baseballs and basketballs at 18 months old ,and it blows my mind that he's still so interested. The thing is, he doesn't discriminate. Baseball, basketball, football, soccer...you name it, we play it! Not only do we play sports all day, we also have to watch certain videos on Youtube. We watch "Boys of Fall," while wearing a football helmet. We watch Alabama's "Cheap Seats," John Fogerty's"Centerfield," and Kenny Rogers, "The Greatest" while holding a bat, carrying a ball, and wearing a batting helmet. And now, thanks to Space Jam, we have to listen to the movie sound track while shooting hoops! That's a blast from the past! He hasn't found a song about soccer or golf...YET! And with all that playing, who has time to run inside for a potty break? Not this boy! I never thought
