Sometimes I feel like a soccer mom. Things have kind of slowed a bit these last few days, but it is always an adventure. Yesterday I was out in my round pen pulling weeds in 100 + degree weather, sweating profusely, bent over, and not the prettiest picture I'm sure when I hear my son say momma your beautiful! I felt like a million bucks after that. Only a child would tell you looked pretty at a time like that.
Sometimes I feel I have lost my identity as a person. Suddenly you are mom. That is your job title and the way you are viewed. This is especially true if you are a stay at home mom like I am. I know there are people out there that think moms who stay at home sit around and watch soaps all day. I even read a blog one lady wrote about secrets stay at home moms keep. Basically the blog confessed that moms do sit around and do watch soaps etc. All I want to now is in what life? The only time the T.V is on at our house is early in the am when my son watches a few cartoons. I don't even usually sit down at night to watch T.V. I don't know who has time to do that. I have to make myself take time to sit down and actually play with my kids. My house is not neat my most people's standards and yet I never really sit still. I never get to the bottom of the laundry pile. I am up every morning by 6:30 thanks to my sweet little Rose. When they take naps in the afternoon, I steal enough time to do my work out video or maybe get on the comp for a little bit. Other than that we are going and doing. It is an amazing demand on you mentally.
Don't get me wrong I still do make time to do things for me. I have never been the kind of mom who forgets that I was a person before I had kids. I know my identity can not be my kids. Yet, it is easy to feel that you are looked at like that all the time. I have started working out again. I especially need this as I am not doing much horse stuff at all. I feel better already it really is a stress relief and gets your blood pumping for the day. Also, I'll feel better when I can get into some of my other clothes. I'll have a whole new wardrobe. As a mom it is really hard to make time to work out. I don't have the money to go to the gym and am not very disciplined to work out by myself. However, a friend of mine who is also a stay at home mom with multiple kids told me about this workout so it helps me do it to know she is doing it too. Anyway, just rambling have the whole day ahead of me so who knows what it will bring.

kids and sanity continued
Quess i hit the wrong button
Well I am pretty sure the woman at the window heard what he said. Stinking Doctor Suess and all his fat, thin books Hop on Pop books.
How bout the time when he was really little, 18 months or so(he started talking at 10 months) when we encountered a midget(little person) at Best Buy. He said, "What's that man momma?" While I was trying to think of an appropriate response he made his own conclusion and said,"Baby Man." at the top of his lungs. Yep could have done without that one.
Alright this one actually got published in a local magazine called Parent Wise because it was too funny not to publish, but he was barely walking. My friend was pregnant with her child and they are almost exactly two years apart. We were at her baby shower. There sits a girl flaunting her rolls in her low rise pants. My son was wondering around eating one of those party mints. All the sudden he discovered a crack and you could really see the wheels turning( i wish i had a video tape) he thought he had discovered the greatest place for his mint. Sure enough he went over there and tried to stuff his slimy, sticky hands down her pants. She came up out of the chair screaming and I nearly peed my pants laughing. Never a dull moment.
My little Rose is just coming into herself and I look forward to seeing her personality blossom. Already I see her get really mad at my son when he takes something from her. She screams and sometimes tries to bite. And is just really starting to get a personality. So I will try to take the time and at least blog on days that crazy stuff happens.

Senior Citizens Need To Have Required Drivers Tests
A friend of mine encouraged me to start blogging my life because sometimes it is so crazy that it is almost funny. So I decided why not? I am not the best at keeping up with stuff like this, but I am going to try to keep up with things no matter how boring.
So I'll start with my first gripe. First of all I live in a retirement community and, honestly, they think they own the road.....I mean sphere! I really am beginning to believe that there should be a drivers test every year once you reach a certain age. If I, one person, have seen this many things( things I truly have to push my mouth closed about) then it can't be random right? I anyone hearing me on this? There is a road here 195 that is known as one of the most dangerous stretches of road around because there have been so many accidents. I was shocked to watch a person stop (in the middle of an intersection) only to decide they better keep going. Thought that was random until I watched them stop at the next red light (this time on the right side of the intesection) and then proceed to go on through it once they saw no cars going!!!This happened weeks ago.
But yesterday I made a quick run to our little town, was traveling about 60. I saw a person rolling up to a stop sign on my left of a county road. They were rolling fast enough I thought they might not stop so I start slowing down. I watch as they pause at the stop sign and proceed to roll out into my lane. I had to swerve out of the road into the ditch, still don't know how they missed me. I have a 11 month old baby right on the side they almost hit. All I remember seeing is a handicap sign swinging from the rearview mirror. My heart was pounding so I drove about 50 for a while and was leaving them in the dust! So, the rush through the stop sign was for..........? Take a freaking driver's test people!!!!!!
