Where have I been????

Honestly, I cannot believe how hard it is to keep up with a blog! I started this so I can have a place to write about my day to day life, vent out about my kids and husband--kind of like therapy sessions!! I need to get back on track and focus. I have to get organized! Before I end this post, I have to say this: My husband is officially a full-time husband now...I will be back more often!!

BACK TO SCHOOL

I know I was upset with the whole "summer being over" thing, but I'm over it! I forgot how relaxing it is to be alone!! The freedom I have is unbelievable, I don't even know what to do with my time. Should I take a nap? clean, (NOT)? Go shopping? Or just sit and listen to quietness? I feel guilty for having these feelings, I cant help it.....oh well, Ill just hug and kiss them extra when they come home :)

Summer break :/

We are one week into summer break and I'm already hearing "I'm bored!!" I'm running out of ideas. We've done the pool parties, graduations and BBQ's. Everyday the kids are involved activities but still bored! I think kids these days are too spoiled with always wanting to be entertained! I remember when I was a kid playing outside with the hose for hours...sheesh! Two and a half more months left and I'm running out of ideas! 

My Partner

        I don't know what I was doing before you came into my life. How did I get through it? You pay my bills, remind me of my appointments, wake me up in the morning (over and over again). Your there when I'm bored or depressed, you always know the kinds of games that cheer me up. When I lose the remote, you're right there to change the channels without complaining. And when I don't want to deal with my kids, you gladly take over!! I adore how your the last one I see before I sleep and first one I see when I wake up; perfect way to start my day. You are seriously sent from heaven! It does not bother you that I constantly talk to my friends, if anything, it makes you happy. You are truly the best partner a girl can ever have, I love you and good night iPhone! Now if only I can program you to turn off the lights!

April Showers bring May Flowers!!

APRILLLLL!!!! I love this month! I love spring! The weather is warmer, I get to open my windows so my stuffy house can air out and no more winter coats!!! The kids love it too, however, they think its summer. This also mean I get to do shopping for new clothes, that's always great! The depressed moods of everyone seems to disappear; this passed winter was just awful...it was as if it was not going to end, but it did!! Another good thing, now I can throw my kids outside for a couple of hours so I don't have to hear "we are bored!"

I hate it when it's time to deep clean the house. This means moving couches and cushions, fridge, stove, and entertainment centers. Dear lord the stuff I found! They range from stale snacks, change, crumbs and other things I couldn't make out. Then comes inside the fridge...eeekkk that was not a pretty sight. But in the end when it's all done with, it feels good. However next time I'm soo calling a cleaning lady....whew!!!

Winter Blues

This winter has to be the longest winter ever. It will not stop snowing...sheesh! We are stuck indoors the majority of the time. The kids and I are becoming restless. Oh, how I yearn for the warmth of the sun, flip flops, and the pool! Everything seems so depressing. I need my vitamin D. the kids are getting sick of the indoor activities and how can I blame them? Even I am!

No judging allowed!

I hate when parents do that we're "not those parents". I feel like "those type" are the worst at judging. They always have something to say about others raising thier kids. Like our kids are respectful, unlik so and so. Or we would never do that about a certain way to dicipline. Or our kids are very smart because we home school; as if schools would the ones raising the kids.I used to say that I wanted to homeschool, but honestly I ...dont know everything. I teach my kids everyday things they dont learn in school (such as reading and writing in Arabic) and vice versa! Why not have a break for 7 hours?

When I was pregnant with my son, I never said what I am going to do OR not, because I didnt know...I would say I'll see what happens. Am I going to breast feed, not sure, I'll see. Am I going to co-sleep, not sure, I'll see. That way I dont feel like I failed. I know we all Moms want to be perfect but its impossible..who wants to be perfect anyway!

I love to see how other families function, because I learn from that and take pointers. I have also was told from friends that they tried some of my techniques and were happy with the results. These are the type of people I want to surrond myself with.

I hate sickness!

We are nearly done with January and not one of my kids has gotten sick till 2 days ago! My daughter has pink eye! How she got it I am not sure, I am, however, aware it is contagious so it can be from anyone, but now it will be passed on to my other two kids then my husband (please God help me!) then me. I have tried everything to keep them from getting sick. It snuck up on me! This means no going to school and caring for my husband, whose going to act like he's dying. Who will take care of me when it is my turn? NOBODY!
I guess I'm going to start the meds a little early this time.

it's 3:30 am and Im wide awake! I am going to get it in the morning!!!! God help me!

ME TIME!

The best part of the day is when the kids are sleeping and I get to catch up on my shows and relax!!! I am always DVR-ing everything. Then there are the shows that are not appropriate for the to watch. Really in the end I am in complete SILENCE! **sigh**

School Breaks

My 3 kids go back to school in 2 days after 2 weeks of being off and I am screwed!!! I have been staying up later than usual and sleeping in later than usual.
How am I going to go back to my normal schedule? Its going to be a tough day back to school!

Is that a good idea?

When I knew I was pregnant with twins, I told myself that I will make sure they are their own person. Their names do not rhyme, I rarely if ever, dress them alike, and on their b-days each one gets a cake. I even wished they were born different sexes and in different years! Just like the story below.

I see twins who are sick and tired of being associated with their other half and I don't want that for my twins. I want them to love being twin sisters. To appreciate each other. I did not want them to be smothered by each other.

But now that I think about, how would we do birthday parties if they were born one day apart??  We cant ask people to come back 2 days in a row. What I would have to do is not celebrate on any of those days, but Jan.3! That's not good.
