Yes, it's Momday, Monday

Monday morning, Daddy back to work, Mom back to picking up what was let go during the weekend and preparing for Smiley's arrival.
So, over the weekend I made it my goal to figure out how to set up my own website and at the same time I wanted to refresh the look of my blog since my Husband decided to tell me the colors that were currently on there weren't working for him. I had the idea to make it look a little lighter, more relaxed background. Let's face it that's probably the closest I'm going to get to feeling like that right now.
As I was updating, changing, and trying to figure out the website thing I had another thought. Why not start another blog about the daily healthy (I really try) meals I make for my children. They seem to like them and don't even recognize what different veggies I stick in there for them to eat. Even some of my Mom friends have given me ideas that I know I could share. Hmmmm, sounds like something else I could start?
So here I go again, I decide to yes, just do it!! The whole time that I had been spending on the computer Mom Jr. had been coming around and listening to the brainstorming I had been throwing out to hubby. She finally asked "Mom, could I have a blog?" Hmmm (wheels turning in the brain again). Well, as I was envisioning my own website with my main blog and other blogs I start along the sides, I thought I could see Mom Jr.'s blog. Day to day thoughts, feelings, and situations from her point of view. I could not only give myself a chance to read my pre-teen daughters thoughts and feelings towards daily life situations but I could give other Moms a chance to see what their pre teen daughters might be feeling or thinking about!?!
Not to mention all the practice she'll get in writing (oh, my daughters following in my footsteps). Well, how could I say no? Okay, I told her yes, you can. That's all she needed, she pulled up a chair next to me at my desk and started writing her blog out on a paper. I'm still trying to figure how to link it all.
Here comes the impatience of it all, maybe I should've waited till I knew exactly how to link them all together because now she can't wait to put her first entry. "Mom, I'm ready, can I start typing it?". "Mom, here I wrote some more, can you read it?", "Mom, is it ready?". Aaaaaahhh!!!
WAIT!!! Let me figure it all out first. Well, I'm still lost and she wrote more....."Mom, here's my entry for today, can you read it and let me know if it's ready for me to post it?". "I still haven't figured it all out yet". "Oh, then I guess I should've waited".
What is it with kids? They think we know how to get it all done with a snap of our fingers. That's nice that they think we can accomplish all, I wish I had that much faith in myself. J is still getting over his cold, so yes he's still fussy about certain things and I knew I had to keep him away from Smiley today. Poor J was confined to the front room granted he had his toys, his shows, his water, and he could see me in the family room but I couldn't comfort him or have him get close to Smiley who he just loves to be around. J is always saying "What you doing missy girl?","I love you Missy",. He asks everyday for her and the days that she does come over the first thing he wants to do is hug her and it actually seems like she hugs him back (or maybe she just wants to pull his hair, hmmm, we'll just go with the first thought on that one).
By the time Smiley who I now call Squiggly because she's just about to crawl so she always wants to be on the floor and if you try to hold her while your sitting down she tries her hardest to wiggle her way out and once on the floor she squiggles (it's half of squirms and wiggles) her way to the item she is trying to get to. Anyway, soon her Mom comes, Squiggly turns into Smiley the minute she sees her Mom, her little feet start kicking and kicking and off they go. Now I start dinner and J wants milk. I haven't been letting him have any with his little cold, so I give him apple juice then he wants to know what's on T.V., I tell him then he says "Mama, what next?" I tell him "then what Mama". "I don't know, just wait and see". "No Mama, look".
What?!?! These kids with just a push of a button on the remote can see what's playing through out the day and at the ripe age of 3 J has already figured this out. What happened to that good old T.V. guide that use to come in the Sunday paper? That's what they need, "here, go crazy and figure out your whole weekly show schedule". I must be getting out of touch with the T.V. and the remote. These kids will pre-program their T.V. to change at a certain time for a certain show. J will get upset because he'll be sitting their watching his favorite "Caillou" and bam, all of a sudden it's on some other show.
I say we ought to get them an old school T.V. where you had to turn the knob and only get a few channels, no knowing what's coming on through out the day, no programming the T.V.
So, here I sit ending this entry while still in the back of my mind trying to figure out how to get this all together.
Have patience with me, I'll get it, in between putting dinner away and getting Hubby's lunch and coffee ready for another day......I'll figure it out, sooner than later especially since "my thing" has now turned into "our thing, with Mom Jr. starting".

Just a Mom trying to get it all together......
