65 Inner Thoughts of the SAHM

 Only.... 3 wake ups last night, awesome!

Today is going to be a good day.

Baby still asleep? Sweet.

I'm going to go take a ......

DAMNIT. How does she always know when I am about to either eat, shower or go to sleep?

Ok, feed baby, then maybe she'll go back to sleep. Then I'll shower.... or go back to sleep.

Why won't she go back to sleep?!!!?!?!

GO TO SLEEP.

WHY is the bigger kid UP already?

What did moms do before video monitors...?

Yes, I am so on top of things.

Coffee pre-set to brew, toddler's drink already poured and in the refridgerator.

I got this.

Dog needs to go out, baby needs her reflux medication, Cat is out of water. Toddler wants juice.

THERE IS ONLY ONE ME.

No one has any freaking patience in this house.

Why is the baby crying??

She must hate me. I need to spend more one-on-one time with her.

The toddler is definitely misbehaving because she is seeking attention.

Ignore bad behavior, ignore bad behavior.

Maybe if I don't act lividly mad, she won't keep BEING BAD.

I so don't got this.

How is it only 8:30 am?

Do we have any champagne and/or orange juice in this house?

Shit, only vodka.

......... what's wrong with vodka?

People do this all the time. (raising multiple kids)

I can do this.

During nap I am totally working out.

What should I make the big kid for lunch? Something easy and healthy. Or chicken nuggets again.

The Lion King is the cutest movie ever.

I'm so tired, need more coffee, but then maybe I won't be able to nap later.

We need to get out of the house!

Too close to nap; if she sleeps in the car I will lose it.

Maybe after nap we will do something.

The Lion King is the most annoying movie ever.

Sure, I want to eat the leftover food my kid didn't eat for lunch.

PB & J - so good!

Yes, they are both napping! I am totally going to workout.

But I can't because I really should do laundry and unload dishwasher.

I'm tired, I think I'll take a nap too.

Just a short nap and then I'll wake up and do stuff.

SHIT. Why is she up already?

It's ok, I'll do the chores when hubby gets home.

SHIT, it is trash day?

How is it only Tuesday?

I can't wait until they aren't in diapers anymore. So. much. poop.

I didn't get to work out so I shouldn't eat this cookie.

Ok, kid snacked, baby fed, everyone is playing.

I got this.

Ugh, the witching hour is upon us.

EVERYONE IS CRYING. 

Nothing is going right today.

I haven't even started dinner, we have NO FOOD.

What can I make from what we have?

Spaghetti tuna bake, it is. Ugh, wait that sounds GROSS... or maybe it'll be good?

I can't do a damn thing in this house without one of them crying!

She just wants to play with me, I'm a horrible mom!!!

She is so precious and smart.

How is it already 5 pm?

I have done nothing today that I needed to do.

How am I ever supposed to get anything done?

Ok, everyone is fed, bathed and put to bed.

I got this!

Today was a good day.

____________________________

As a newly stay-at-home-mom to a very active toddler and a very high needs newborn, I have decided that in any given moment I could either be laughing or crying hysterically. It really is a Catch 22 which emotional state you might find me in.

In an effort to be therapeutic, I started documenting my inner thoughts. One thing about hanging out with 2 kids under the age of 2 is you don't really EVER have adult conversation unless, that is, you are talking to yourself. Which I may or may not do, including profanity, on a daily basis. I realized that my days have been extremely bipolar -- can any other mom or dad relate?!?

Granted I've only been home with two kids for about 6 weeks, but guys: it really is the hardest job I've ever had. You have no choice but to put everyone else's needs before your own, and guess what? These little toots need a lot! Don't get me wrong, it is rewarding, and I love taking care of my kids, but HOLY CANOLI can it be challenging!

Today is the first time the stars have actually aligned for me to blog in over a month. I plan to share with you some things I have learned lately, because my newborn is totally different than my other baby! So stay tuned! and Thanks for reading :)

  1. I loved this!! I'm so nervous about having 2 but my toddler will be going to daycare while I am on maternity leave. I feel kind of bad but I know it's better to have him stick to his routine and I know he would rather go play with his friends then hangout with me and the new baby all day.

  2. I was diagnosed as HEPATITIS B carrier in 2013 with fibrosis of the
    liver already present. I started on antiviral medications which
    reduced the viral load initially. After a couple of years the virus
    became resistant. I started on HEPATITIS B Herbal treatment from
    ULTIMATE LIFE CLINIC (www.ultimatelifeclinic.com) in March, 2020. Their
    treatment totally reversed the virus. I did another blood test after
    the 6 months long treatment and tested negative to the virus. Amazing
    treatment! This treatment is a breakthrough for all HBV carriers.

How to be a Housewife (Without Feeling Like a Slave)

Now, don't get the wrong idea here... I'm not sending a passive aggressive message out there to men (do men even read blogs?) that women hate doing house duties. We love it - right, ladies??? (wink, wink) And I'm not complaining either. (Although I do despise laundry, I love a clean house; so it's a double-edged sword.) One thing I'm BIG on is positive thinking . Sometimes, it is hard to be positive if you are feeling overwhelmed with dishes, laundry, cleaning, cooking... oh yeah... LIVING IN and maintaining a home. So, I thought sharing my thoughts on this topic could maybe help some disgruntled wifeys out there. 1) Don't hate, delegate - I'm a huge fan of starting young with manageable tasks around the home. There are a bunch of lists floating around the interwebs of chore lists for kiddos, and a lot of them are pretty dang silly (one suggests letting a 2-3 year old put dishes away, um no!)  -- but my favorite one is from Kids Activities Blog.  2) B

Tips on Survival with a Sick Baby

Any parent can tell you that life can be turned upside by a sick child. Sleepless nights, lots of crying (you and the baby!), routines are thrown out the window... it's just for the birds. And to make it even worse, you as a parent are playing a guessing game of what is ailing your child specifically in some instances. So, I don't know about y'all, but this winter season has been a real fun one for Boo. We have had 4 ear infections, a stomach bug, and RSV. I don't even know how to quantify the runny noses, because it has been constant. I know that I am lucky that she is otherwise healthy, so I will go knock on a million pieces of wood now. I have learned from experience (at least 5 trips to the emergency room and 2 hospital stays unfortunately) that earaches/throw up/fever hits in the middle of the night 9 out of 10 times, and at least the first time, you are GROSSLY unprepared. I hope this blog post can change the second part for some new parents out there. (Edit

Maybe It's Just Easier To Be Lonely

As a busy, working and social mom of two young hellions, I am constantly teetering on the balance of completely and utterly (and not fabulously, might I add) losing my sh-word. Man, what a starter. What an intro! Hello, welcome to my blog. My name is Tara, and I’m completely crazy. I use the term “hot mess” way more than socially acceptable; in fact, there are times that I use the phrase, in reference to myself, and I can literally HEAR someone’s thoughts of annoyance in me. But, I digress. But, it’s true! I’m about one bad day away from flipping out hardcore. Part of it is my innate nature to be involved in *everything.* Combine that with my inherent disability to saying “no,” and it’s a recipe for… you guessed it… “hot-mess-ness.” Totally a word I made up and use… a lot. As I look at my planner (that I am obsessed with - who else have to have their lives written down somewhere or else they have NO IDEA what they are supposed to do that day?!), I realize…. “Dang, I am
