Please stop raining....

For Those Who Don't Facebook.

My family and I are in need of a new place to live soon and are frantically searching. Do any of you know of any apartments/homes for rent that could accommodate the hubs and I and 3 little ones? Preferably $850 a month or LESS. Thanks!

My Shopping Saga.

Two days ago Katie and I along with our three kids and two pregnant bellies attempted the feat of Costco, followed by Walmart, immediately followed by Target. First up was Costco. I don't actually remember why we were there but no trip to Costco is complete without feeding me and my two kids for $2.50. Stella and Oliver were in the cart busily beating each other while Nora was chucking her chin on the counter trying to catch the first glimpse of her hot dog. We got our lunch but K. had to wait 2 minutes for her sandwich to be hot off the press. I meanwhile took the cart and the 3 year old to get the table. The only table open. I felt someone walking behind be extremely closely as I tried to maneuver passed the relish. I told Nora to lead the way and take the corner table and I would follow with the cart when the coast was clear. That's when it happened....The man following too close for comfort rushed past me, pushed Nora out of his way and stole our table. I KNOW he heard me tell her to sit there and I was irate. Not to mention that when he so rudely shoved Nora she accidentally bumped into another man overloading his polish dog with onions. I took a deep breath and saw another table open up and directed Nora towards it following slowly behind as I tried to squeeze the giant cart through the tiny aisle.  Then it happened again....Onion man walked briskly passed and stole our next table.  We finally ended up with a table and ate our food. I decided not to confront either man because person #1 looked like he would shoot me and person #2 looked like he was already having a miserable day. We took out groceries and moved onto Walmart.  I had the blinker on waiting for a parking spot as the occupants of the car took their good ol' time backing out. Then it happened again...some dumb girl swerved down the row, cut off our car and stole our parking spot. As K. and I hauled all three kids out of the car seats the girl got out and practically ran inside not looking back. Get a life people. We had three kids and are both pregnant. Have some respect. Luckily Target was a success and we got an awesome baby gift for out friend Sam. That's all.

Peeves Post.

I know I am pregnant and hormonal but I believe that these peeves from today would apply to any non-hormonal, non-preggo person.

1. Bikers who don't follow street laws. Sometimes I want to honk right as they pass narrowly in front of me as they zoom through the intersection without stopping, just to see if it will scare them off their bike.

2. People who sell things on ksl.com for a "bargain" but think they can argue you into paying a ridiculous amount because they loved it so much. Case in point: Phil and Teds double stroller for $300 when I can get this years model brand new for $380. Come on people?!?!

3. When people you haven't seen for years that you weren't friends with in the beginning pretend you are besties when you see them at the neighborhood bridal shower. Let's not pretend we liked each other mmmmK?

4. When you hubs only has one day off of school and his boss makes him work that Saturday. So much for being a family friendly establishment.

What's peeving you today??

What Am I Doing?!?

Today while sitting at Chick-fil-A with this awesome gal I kept thinking "What am I doing?". Our kids were fighting. One would yell at the other one, the other would cry. The babies whiny with their newly growing teeth. And food was everywhere. Even our favorite worker, sweet Mona, was probably thinking we were crazy. I have been married a short 5 years, born two children and am expecting a third. My hubby is trying to finish graduate school and we are dirt poor. I am overwhelmed a lot lately with a three-year-old child who some days resembles a demon and a one-year-old who seems to only pick up her older sisters' naughty habits. I have no idea what I am doing. I am just doing me. Here are some recent pics of us doing what we do best...living our crazy life.

 Fun in the sun with juice boxes.

 Feeding their "kids" while we wait for Daddy.

 Today's 18 1/2 week bump.

 Yo Gabba Gabba with Daddy.

This is how I feel most days.

Easter Dresses.

I got ambitious this Easter and wanted to make matching dresses for the girlies like my mom used to do. I have had those two pillowcases laying around for years. They came from our wedding package that Grandma Sue left us before she passed. She brought them over to the U.S with her from Australia where she was raised. They turned out pretty cute and were so easy. I got both of them made from start to finish in less than an hour and you can't really beat getting two outfits for less than $3 total. Happy Easter!

Dear Nora.

My sweet girl. I wish you a Happy Belated 3rd Birthday and hope that your next year will be full of joy and happiness. So far it's not started out great as you are asleep on the couch with double ear infections. But even with the pain you are so sweet and kind. You are very smart and I am so excited to see you learn and grow this year. I love you to the stars sweet Tootsie! Love, Momma
