Da Boys
Having started making blankets for others, it was inevitable that the boys would want to have their very own blankets for themselves. Mind you, these boys probably have a million blankets in total already. Not good enough. They wanted one of "mommy's latest and greatest". Well they do happen to be the sweetest little boys on the face of the Earth so of course I obliged them. Evan's was actually very easy and I finished it off in under a week.
And for doing so, I heard, "you love Evan more". *Le Sigh*
Promptly, of course, I began to make Conner's. Well, not only was his more labor intensive, but my 40th birthday came and went, as did the 4th of July, so we were busy. I could not just sit and work on it non stop. The topper to that was he wanted this blue 'fuzzy' yarn on his that was a huge pain in the rear to work with. Last night, before he fell asleep, I finished.
Upon being bundled in it, albeit it on an 80 degree night, he said with as much love as he could muster, "I will be wrapped in your love every night and I will keep this until High School, AFTER High School even!" And in an instant, I had melted.
Being a mom is everything it is cracked up to be and more.

How was your day dear......
How was my day....
Well that isn't too hard to answer, lately my days are a series of..
Eat your breakfast boys
Don't hit your brother
Don't tease your brother
Then go to the potty
No cookies
Eat your lunch first
No television
Stop hitting your brother
Please boys 5 minutes
No don't write on the table
No glue downstairs
Scissors!! Who gave you scissors??
Ack!! He is doing what?
No splashing
No, mommy loves you very much, but darling please please don't flush things down the toilet
No, don't zip your brother in the toy holder
OK seriously, How many times do I have to ask you not to jump on your bed?
Is it bedtime, oh hell it is only 10:30am.
What did you do to your brother?
Stop it!
Don't hold the praying mantis!
That dog doesn't belong to us, do not let it in this house
You are not eating a tootsie roll sandwich for dinner
How on earth do you miss the toilet seat?
Why is it my bath time gets later and later if at all. Sometimes I don't see my tub until eleven o'clock or even midnight.
I sure do miss the spa.
People.. I miss people.
Who said having kids 23 months apart was smart?
Who said boys are easier?
Who said have a third? God, I am so glad I did not listen to you people.
I don't care what the stock market is doing, I am buying stock in Mirena IUC's. Heck if I could give them out to all the mom's at Halloween I would.
