so tired and hippos-

sorry for the lack of post. i have never been so tired in my whole damn life. also , sorry for saying damn, i swear alot when i am tired, and mad, and grumpy and bored and pretty much all the time. my mom actually asked james if he "could control his wife" on sunday. it got me thinking... i have only been married to james and lived with him for 5 years but i have known and lived with my mom for much longer. so wouldn't it be my moms fault that i swear so much??
back to being tired. last month at my appointment my doctor asked how i was doing. i told him i was extremely exhausted and felt that no matter what i did i couldn't keep up with life or build any energy. he asked me how old my kids were to which i replied " 3 and 1" he laughed and said " sorry i can't help, it's just your life that's exhausting"
i would have liked to thought that it ( meaning life with kids) gets easier, but i know better. i see my mom and other ladies with teenagers and really it doesn't get any easier anytime soon. plus you have to deal with that ugly awkward stage they go through ( not looking forward to that, hopefully my kids won't be that bad? i was pretty ugly for a while there...)




while pregnant with ezra, james and i were watching a show on the discovery channel about hippos. apparently the "king" of the hippos is called a beach master. somehow i got stuck being called beach master...and tick tock ( from the creepy return to oz movie) and preggie piggy and i'm sure other names i have blocked out. whoever thought it was a good idea to be pregnant in the summer needs to die. seriously i am feeling like a beach master and i still have 2 months to go. although at this time, feeling like a beach master is sounding better than having 3 kids to take care of. enough whining- i will try to post some kid pictures tomorrow. i leave you with this picure to think about.

old timey boys

want to have some fun with pictures? my cute friend annie just posted this on her blog. you just put your pictures into the website and it converts them to old timey style. thanks for the fun idea annie! these are my favorites...

he said what?

yesterday the kids and i were at my grandmas house. it was time to leave so i started cleaning the toys up. well my sweet little ezra ( who hardly ever talks back or is naughty) says to me " hey - whats the big idea?" what the heck... do you think he's watched to many mickey mouse cartoons lately? i laughed of course and then severely reprimanded him. ( by hugging him and telling him not to speak to his mom like that) but it was super cute i will admit.
