Another Late Night List.

I had fully intended to write a new blog post tonight but then 38 minutes ago I got sucked into reading all y'alls blogs and now I am almost too tired to think. So here are my three random thoughts that went through my mind today but I am too tired to elaborate on.

1. Someone should warn all new parents that they have unknowingly agreed to not only raise their little tykes but to be a 24 hour a day jungle gym.

2. I am pretty sure that I could NEVER work in the medical field because I get grossed out by stupid things (ants, warts, spores on the back of ferns, anything resembling small dots, etc.)...I may or may not be heaving right now as I typed those horrifying things...but today I did surgery on my ingrown and obscenely infected toenail that got stepped on by children seven times today (I am a jungle gym I tell ya) and IT. FELT. AWESOME. Well, really, it was excruciatingly painful and I probably should have seen a doctor but it was very empowering to get 'er done by myself. I'm not only a cheapskate but a DIY surgeon.

3. I had this moment today while I was feeding Mabel when we were not only connected tiny mouth to nipple but also giant booger trail to mama's t-shirt. It was perfect. I am so grateful to be able to nurse my littles. And if anyone is in need of a new blog to read during nap time check out Jill over at Goodnight Mush. I kind of have an "I don't know you but I feel like I do through social media and I think I love you" crush. She is a babywearing, breastfeeding momma who tells it like it is and her family and her are drop dead gorgeous. Give her a read.

I told myself I am going to start running this week (insert eye roll here) so I had better head to bed. Goodnight.

A Bit Of Randomness.

1. What did people do when they pooped before Iphones? I know members of my family (who will remain nameless to protect their identities) often "need" theirs while taking care of their business. I on the other hand pretend to need mine but really I just need a break so I escape to the only room that locks in the duplex and pretend to go to the bathroom so I can get 5 minutes alone.

2. I have 2 tattoos (well really 3, but two combined into one). And I would LOOOVE to have an entire back piece done. A family tree of sorts to be exact. I know the church frowns upon them, but if I had the money I just might do it.

3. I am a planner. It is giving me great anxiety that no one can agree on a due date. I am 99.9% sure my due date is October 1st...and I think I would know, right?!? But the doc thinks its October 6th, the ultrasound tech said September 29th and the radiologist who read the ultrasound says October 12th. Uff da!

4. We are moving to Herriman on June 23rd. I think I am crazy. I know that is where the Lord wants us right now and I have never had such a quick/strong response to a prayer ever. I feel that the next 6-12 months will mostly just be change in one form or the other. I guess I should be grateful for the normalcy I have experienced this last year and embrace the change with open arms. But I am scared shitless.

That's all for today folks.

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.

It's That Time Again.

Randomness!

1. The nesting feeling has set in and I have BIG plans for "The Duplex" inside and out.
2. Along with nesting is the urge to sew. Easter dresses reveal coming soon.
3. If you haven't eaten one of the Taco Bell Dorito tacos you are missing out on life. So freaking delicious!
4. I am a huge fan of Saltwater Sandals for my girls. I scored two pair on Ebay this week and couldn't be more excited. If you love them as much as I do you will be smart and check Ebay. NEVER pay full price for them. I only paid about $18 a pair.
5. I am obsessed with Game Of Thrones on HBO but cannot bring myself to read the books. The sheer thickness of them frightens me away.
6. I watched The Business of Being Born and it scared me to death to go through labor again. Don't watch it. And if you have...having a babe in the hospital and being induced is nowhere near as bad as Ricki made it out to be.
7. I can hardly wait for my kids to have their Easter egg hunt on Sunday.

And now for random pictures:
