Superwoman

How many of us are superwomen?

At a loss

How do you know if your 5 year old is lonely or just bored? Judd has been saying that he's lonely. And sometimes sad. The first time he said that word to me...it just broke my heart. I ask him what makes him lonely. He says 'I only have 3 friends at school. The others kids don't like me.' I told him that sometimes having 'only' three friends is okay. That just means that they are good friends. His buddy Holton came over last night for a few hours. When he left, he said he was lonely. Are we not doing everything we need for him? Should I stop doing housework and play with him? Or is this just a phase? A lot has happened in the past 4 months. We moved to a new house, 30 min. from the kids he has grown up with. He has started a new school. He doesn't get to see his 'old' friends that often. It's hard. By the time he gets home from school, it's 4p or after. We can't really go play with his 'old' friends because we have dinner and homework. It takes 30 min to get there. You can say that isn't that far, but trust me he would fall asleep. I don't know if it's all the changes he's gone through in the past 4 months or if its more. Tonight, he said that his mommy and daddy were boring! But in the next sentence he says he wants to spend time with us. That he misses us. Judd is such a sensitive little boy. He gets his feelings hurt very easily. When he says this stuff to us...'I'm lonely or I'm sad', I don't know what to do. I had him call his friend Autumn tonight. We are still waiting for her to call back. I also know that he desperately wants his 2 'best' friends from our old town to come visit. I don't know if they will happen. I'm at a loss. Is it the weather? Is it all the changes? What can I do to make him happy? I don't like seeing my precious little boy sad. I'm at a loss. Prayers are much needed

Potty training

Potty training...those two little words can bring such pain and yet some joy. The pain being having to go through the screaming of not wanting to go in the potty. The frustration of accidents. Oh but the joy! The joy of not having to buy anymore diapers. The joy of saving just a little bit of money. Wyatt threw the biggest temper tantram over having the 'wrong' diapers. Bad mommy that I am, I bought the wrong ones. He won't put on the pull-ups. Some would say that is a good thing. Less money spent. But being the anal person that I am...not looking forward to 'accidents' on my floor. While I will be diligent in taking him to the bathroom. I fear those accidents. Do I become the 'mean' mommy and put him on the potty while he's screaming? Or do I wait for him to tell me when he has to go? I'm thinking if it was his choice he would just go wherever! Oh, but what a big boy he is to even make that choice. I knew how close we were to doing this. Since he told me when he went 'poop.' Lol So here we go. This journey into potty training! Wish us luck!

It's Friday!!

For someone who doesn't work outside the home, I love Friday. It means I have 2 days that I can 'sleep' in. You know till 715. LOL It's the two days out of the week that I don't feel like I have to rush. Rush to get dinner on the table, rush to get the boys in bed. Rush, rush, rush Now, I'm not complaining. I thrive on the pressure to get things done on time. I'm a routine girl. But the weekend is something so different. So relaxing. I'm told its good to change things up a little. I don't do it enough. I have vowed to do a little shake up in my 'routine' this year. But sadly, I'm lacking the motivation. Would anyone care to give me a swift kick in the butt?! Knowing how I can get in the winter, I'm going to start planning my days. Yes, another routine. Scrap booking while Wyatt naps, better meal planning. Heck I might even throw in some exercising. No promises though:) And keeping up this blog. All week I was going to write. I just never did. But here I sit, on a Friday night, all the boys asleep. Judd with his head on my lap. Jim snoring in the bedroom and I write. About nothing. About something. About changing the way I do my 'routine'. About being a better wife and mother. About being a better me. I need to better myself in so many ways. And that is what I'm going to do this year.

New Blog

I decided last night that I needed to create a new blog. I couldn't get the old one to do what I wanted. Then again maybe it was me that couldn't do what I wanted to do with it! LOL So in the end, here is my new blog. With the new year here, I decided to keep this up and maybe post on a daily basis or at least once a week! Being a SAHM has created openings for stuff that I only wish I could have done before. So I hope you enjoy hearing all about my crazy life with 2 boys, a husband, a dog and a cat.
