Whew!!!

Whew! That is all I have to say about the last few days. If my children weren't two years old and two months old, I'd be quite certain they have been trying to get rid of me!

Let me explain. As you may know, I am now the "Head Honcho" in this house. My spouse is away on deployment. And as proud of him that I am, there is also a part of me when my children are screaming I think to myself; Lucky Bastard! No, I haven't lost my mind, yet. But over the last few days I have lost complete control of my bedroom, if that's what it is anymore. My day seems to be full of putting out small fires ie: poop blow-out on Kid #2, Kid #1 sliding on printer paper across the tile floors, and Kids #1 and #2 simultaneously CRYING!

So with all that being said, I am dedicating my weekend to organizing our home and our schedule. I NEVER imagined staying home with MY OWN children every day could be so exhausting! Mind you, I'm not completely naive. But I was thinking it won't be easy, but I can do it. I'll play with them, feed, them, we'll read books, and they'll be GENIUSES!! Uh, yeah..I just want them to be alive at this point. LoL!

I also want to spend next week on ME TIME! Even though I'm a rookie at this Mommy gig. I know that I must maintain some sort of sanity for myself and my children. So next week I'll blog about my favorite products and new products I want to try and share.

Thanks for listening....Whew!!!!

I've just been thinking....

Good Afternoon!!!

Well there is still not much going on in my world. Bed rest can really show you how cool you are, or not! But I think I'm somewhere in between :).

Last week was a doctor free week, whew! I'm so afraid of going back in on Friday and hearing I need to stay in the hospital, that so not in my plans! But enough of that, let's move on to haute mama business!

This week it was time for a visit to the spa for my mani/pedi. I didn't sneak out this time, I think I'll wait until after I hear what my doctor has to say. But you know me, I still must maintain my girlish ways. So I decided to give my hair a deep condition, shave my legs (which BTW, makes you feel super sexy if you don't otherwise), and gave myself a facial. All of these things combined help me continue on my bed rest and not feel like a slump!

To deep condition my hair I used Paul Mitchell leave in conditioner. I'll admit for the money I spent....Pantene Relaxed and Natural does a better job in making my hair feel soft.

For my legs I used my new Venus razor, which is a good buy and definitely gets the job done! My legs are uber soft and great for touching!

Then for my facial I just used Dove gentle exfoliating bar (since I haven't been wearing any make-up my skin is pretty clear of impurities), then used Neutrogena toner and lastly, my Kiehl's moisturizer.

So I'm feeling like myself again. :) Here is to a Blessed and Productive week...Enjoy!!!

Until Later
