metromom

A collection of daily thoughts, ideas and links from a mom still seeking to acheive the "balance" of a spiritual journey, family, inner peace, carreer, world peace...while "trying" to look like a supermodel at the same time...

Those eyes could be the death of me...


















Don't be fooled by this face...This boy is trouble! I never really understood the difference between having a girl and boy...you know the whole sugar and spice and snails and puppy dog tails, but am I ever getting schooled. Just a list for you of the things Ty has tried in the last few weeks:

- Eating a roach (that was bad karma on my part...long story.)
- Eating paper, plastic, crayons, foam, fabric... basically anything he can get his grubby hands on.
-Eating toilet paper from a four year old's pee filled toilet
- Attempting to stick a key in a light socket (learning to remove the safety covers from light sockets.)
- Taking off a dirty diaper in his bed and smearing the remnants around for all to see and ME to clean

The list could go on but I'll let you really stew on the above crimes...then, please bow your heads and pray for me and all the other moms with boys.

Not so Manic Anymore...



So, since MD took on a new role and a new schedule, our entire family schedule has now adjusted. And since he now works Tuesday through Saturday,Mondays have taken on a whole new identity! In fact I look forward to Mondays now!

We had a great day today. He watched the kids while I went with a freind to get a massage at Dolce (a Mothers' Day gift I finally cashed in on...)and it was the best I ever had.

Came home to spend and afternoon and evening enjoying some quality family time...We swam, we grilled, we rode bikes to get ice cream...good old fashioned fun. They give Monday's a whole new meaning...

six years...and counting...



Well...this weekend marked another milestone for us...six years of marraige, two states, two kids, three homes...A LOT has happened, and I can honestly say I'm so thankful its happened with my best friend. Never in my wildest dreams could I have imagined how things would play out, and not that every day, or any day for that matter, is perfect, its just perfect for me.

We celebrated with an amazing brunch at The Phoenician...wow! The food was art, and absolutely heavenly. We enjoyed our time together, and ate, and ate...my kind of day.
