Confessions of a Tired Mommy....

It has been a long week and all signs are pointing to an ever longer weekend. So let's just get right to it....

 

1. Every Friday during nap time, I watch a Police Women of (fill in the city of the day) marathon. I love this show. People out there are so dumb. Seriously.

 

2. Speaking of, I have become obsessed with the OWN channel and the Weather channel. There are some awesome shows out there. Police Women comes on OWN, Ice Pilots comes on Weather. Are they stupid? Yes. Are they totally addicting? Yes. Do I want to move to Northern Alaska and become a police woman? Yes.

 

3. I can NOT get Jonathan to eat right now. Like, at all. He might eat a granola bar or some Cheerios throughout the day, but a real meal? Forget it. Last night it was a battle of wills unlike any ever seen in this house. I was determined to make the kid eat his dinner. So we sat there. Both of us near tears, for like 25 minutes. And then he started crying and just wouldn't stop. So I gave in. After 3 bites of this and a bite of that. I caved. He won. And what was I forcing him to eat? Chicken nuggets and french fries.

 

 

4. Now, this one might offend some people and I don't mean it to. I am not talking about anybody in particular....promise! But man, I am SO tired of being around people obsessed with how they look. So many people these days are so focused on being skinny, super hot, trendy, in style etc...it just gets exhausting for the rest of us. Like I said last week, I want to be healthy. Not a stick. I want to feel good, but I don't want to spend 20 hours a week at the gym. I want to have cute clothes, but I am not willing to spend my entire paycheck on the newest clothes. And to be honest, I don't really want to hear about how you do. And before you think I just need to relax and get over it, you all know the people I am talking about. The ones that are OBSESSED. That talk about it ALL.THE.TIME. Not just those that mention it sometimes or show off a cute new outfit....we all have to brag every now and then!!

 

5. Zack is back to working awful hours. Like, he doesn't get home until 9:00 or 10:00 multiple times a week. On those nights, I eat cereal for dinner and put my pajamas on around 5:30. Once the boys go to bed, OWN and The Weather Channel come on. Then I go to sleep at 9:00. That's cool right?

 

6. I have been walking circles around the mall lately to get out of the house when the weather is bad. Sometimes, a 70 year old couple passes me. And in my head, I justify it because I am pushing 70 pounds of kids and strollers and they don't have to push anything. Of course the older couple should be faster than me.....right? Would it be weird if I stoped them and asked if I could walk along with them for motivation?

 

Happy Friday everybody! Hope y'alls weekend is filled with as much awesome television and mall walking as mine will be!
