-I attempted to take the babies w/ me on some errands while Gage was at daycare. I do not do this often, especially since it's so cold, but I just have to attempt it once in awhile. Makes me feel like a real trooper. Especially when I
- find that businesses do not have handicap-accessible doors and I have to try and pull/push a double stroller in and out of 2 sets of doors, while shoppers and store clerks watch me with, "What the hell were you thinking?" looks on their face. Yeah, and they rarely help.
- HEAR the phrases, "Wow, you're a trooper" or "My, you have your hands full" at least 4 times per shopping trip/outing.
-Due to teething and the increase of solid food intake, I am changing approximately 12-15 crap-filled diapers per day now. No sh*t. (No pun intended). My hands and knuckles are as dry and raw as ground hamburger.
-I was told by my 3 year old son that I don't "know the football rules as good as daddy".
"WHAT?" I can yell, "Blue-Blue 49, Hut-Hut" just as loud, however I have no idea what it means. (And like he does, either!)
-When it was time to put his pajama's on, the aforementioned 3 year old dropped his Vikings sweatpants (worn for the 3rd time this week--yes they are clean--I do laundry every day) and yelled, "It's Penis time!"
Sigh.
I really do love my life.
I just really like wine, too.

I love your posts!!!! The always make me feel more normal! I once spent a long time telling my youngest how lucky he was that he would never have to deal with tampons....and continued to ramble on about the fact that they should at least give you the things for free on account of all of the pain and suffering that goes along with them. Later that day, I heard my oldest telling my dad (who was of course distraught about the Packer loss) "at least we don't have to be messing about tampons"
a) hilarious story there by the Foskett Fam. Love it! Seriously chuckled out loud...
b) are you sure it wasn't Tim who said it was penis time?
c)I usually just point and laugh at people with an arm full of stroller and a 3 year old and start throwing condoms at them...
d) my new theory is buy 2 of every thing that my kids remotely enjoy. So that when the cammo sweats go in the wash (in our house uuuummmm weekly is a stretch), they at least have a back up reserve pair. And our new thing is wearing the EXACT same out fit. So i have bought 4 pairs of cammo pants, two a piece, exact same. It really is just for my headache.
e) you ARE a trooper.
Can't wait to see you tomorrow!
