I can not believe I forgot to take a picture of my dinner last night! I feel so badly about it, too, because it was seriously soo good! Even my husband loved it. It had a hint of lemon in it and he usually hates when I cook with lemon, but he loved the meal last night.
I made a dish called lemon chicken with asparagus. I think the next time I make this meal, I will use green beans instead of asparagus because it is more cost efficient. But it was rated by a 10 by my husband.
My daughter was cute this morning. She slept with us last night and I was asleep when my husband woke up to get ready for work. She came up to where I was and laid her head on my chest and said "hi, hey". I woke up to see her looking at me, smiling. So I got up and got myself ready for the day.
Tonight for dinner will be leftovers as my husband will be home a little later and I don't know what time he will get home. So, we are going to have leftovers. I don't know what to make for tomorrow though. I forgot what I wrote down.

An exhausting night
How do my children have so much energy when they didn't get much sleep the night before? I don't get it. I would love to have their energy so I could get stuff done. Today I plan to get dinner prepped somewhat while the kids are napping and clean the kitchen. I tried to do the morning dishes today but my son kept climbing on me so I stopped.
Last night it was a nightmare and a half getting both kids to sleep. But we did it! But wouldn't you know it, just as we are laying in bed and relaxing our daughter wakes up and shortly thereafter our son wakes up. So, my husband went to get him and I got my daughter. I finally got her to go back to sleep at 8:45. Then I fell asleep at 9:15. Next thing I know it's 11:30 and the boy is awake. Oh dear lord! My husband put him in our bed thinking he would fall back asleep easily since he's next to us. But after an hour of him kicking me in the face and stomach and arm and waking me up constantly, my husband decided to give him milk to help our boy fall asleep. Well, the milk worked and he was asleep by 12:45. So I finally got to get some peaceful sleep without him kicking me finally. That sleep was very short lived because at 1:00, our little girl woke up. I honestly wish both of my kids would sleep all night! But I got up to get her back to sleep and I managed to go back to bed at 2:15. Then at 3:00, she woke up again. This time my husband got her and brought her in our room to sleep. But then at 5:30 my husband's alarm clock went off.
And that's how my night was last night. I am beyond exhausted and my coffee didn't work because I'm still tired. But the good news is that today my daughter has been so pleasant to me. She hasn't yelled at me, she listens to me on everything I have said so far, and she is being nice to her brother.

All day football
Today is Sunday, therefore, we will be watching football nonstop. I don't mind though. We are watching our team play right now and it is looking pretty good for us right now.
It feels nice not having to do laundry though. I am going to relax and watch football today. I am cooking something in the crockpot today. I found the recipe on Pinterest. It is a seasoned green beans and potatoes with chicken kind of meal. It looks good, so we'll see how it tastes tonight. I will try to take a picture of tonight's dinner, but I can't promise anything. My daughter has been playing with my phone lately so it's hard to do any sort of thing on my phone anymore. But I just try to do everything at night when everyone is asleep.
I am usually the last one in bed and the second one to wake up in the morning. I hate taking forever to fall asleep. My husband is the kind of guy who can fall asleep in less than five minutes. But it takes me a hour or two to fall asleep most nights.
Have a great Sunday!

Beautiful day Saturday
Today was such a beautiful day! I think the weather is finally cooling down here in this crazy desert that I live in. We went grocery shopping this morning after we got done calling the parentals, something we do every weekend. We managed to get done talking to them and grocery shopping and putting everything away by 9:15am! That is a first.
After we got done putting the groceries away, we decided to hang out in the backyard with the kids. Then after I got my son down for a nap, I got out the stuff I needed to make my customer's order. I set up my little work station on the picnic table and started working on their order. While I was doing that, my husband and daughter had some father-daughter bonding time.
We ended up being in the backyard for almost five hours! But the good news is that she fell asleep shortly after her bath and we got to relax a little. Hopefully both kids go to bed easy tonight and sleep all night.
Here's to hoping.

I have a small itch
I have a little confession to make. This is so sad to say this, but I have this little itch. It comes and goes every once in a while. Right now, it is itching like crazy. I told my husband about it, too. Alright.. here's my confession.
I have baby fever!
There, I said it. Whew! It feels good to get it out of my system. But I seriously have an itch and I am having major baby fever. I saw something Jessa Duggar recently posted on Instagram of her baby moving in her belly and it made me think of when I was pregnant with my daughter and how she moved around a lot, too. When I saw that I just really got sad because I want another baby. I told my husband that I had baby fever and he was adamant about not having another. He said we are both getting older and the chances of a child with needs gets higher.
I agree to what he said though, cause he is right. I am really grateful that I have two beautiful children who are both happy, healthy, smart, and so damn beautiful. Not to mention, I have one of each.. we have what most people want. We have a friend who has two boys and another friend who has two girls. There's another friend we have who has three girls! So, I'm grateful for the fact we have one of each.
But when we were pregnant with my son, I knew he was going to be the last pregnancy I will have and I couldn't wait to get to my third trimester to enjoy every single movement and stretching and hiccups. I barely got to enjoy the movement and stretching as my son didn't move around a lot but he did hiccup a lot, just like his sister. But I really wanted to enjoy one more time of the baby moving and stretching and I feel I got robbed because he didn't move much. That was by far one of my favorite things about being pregnant.
Anyone else have baby fever?

It's still not easy
I know it's been a month now and it should be easy. The first day was definitely not the easiest day for me. But after a month, you would think that dropping my daughter off at school for two and a half hours would be easy for me. But it isn't. I'm going to be honest. It is one of the hardest things I go through every single time I drop her off. It breaks my heart to have her push me away and say bye momma. That's what she did today. She saw her teacher walk up and she pushed me away and said bye momma, bye momma, bye bye. I got a quick hug and kiss and I love you from her and then I walked away and every so often I would look behind me to see her.
It hurts though. I know it's for her best interest to be in school, with her peers, and learning. But it still hurts to say bye for a little while. I don't know why but her going to daycare for nine hours a day wasn't as hard as her going to school for two and a half hours.
I cry once I get my son and I in the car. I cry a little bit and then I start the short journey to go home.

A first for my little boy
Today was the first day my little boy got his hair cut by a professional. I actually cut his bangs a couple of months ago. I hated the idea of cutting his hair and I hated it even more that people were giving me such a hard time over his hair. I mean, he's my kid, I can do what I want to him and if I don't feel like giving him a haircut yet, then please stop giving me a hard time over it! I'm just glad my daughter's hair is long enough I can put it up in a ponytail or piggy tails and no one will know exactly how long her hair really is.
For the past few nights, both of the kids have been getting up. But as soon as they are in our bed they are fast asleep. But god forbid we put them back in their own bed. It has been so exhausting dealing with that every night.
Tonight we are going out to dinner with my parents. My parents will get to see my little boy's new haircut. Hopefully they like it and don't give me such grief over his hair. We see my parents only once a month and go out to dinner with them. It's nice because my kids get to see their grandparents but we have to drive out of our way to meet up with them. But the one thing I like about meeting up with them once a month is that when we get home both kids fall asleep pretty easily and they both sleep all night.
Time to finish the mountain pile of laundry.
