Sox the fox

So, this fox is always in the yard.  He acts like he don't care if we are out side or not, he feels no threat.  I have named him Sox and I'm trying to convince Bob to catch him and tame him and set jackson free:)

For The Love Of God

For the love of god...I get questioned about my discipline techniques in my own house!  Not by a visitor or a grandparent by the kids father!  I put henry in timeout and he cried.  Bob.turns all irritated cause he couldnt hear tv and asks " are you at least going to give him a toy."  Oh, sorry I forgot to reward him for being bad like your stupid dog!  I hate disciplining my child but if its to keep him from acting like that dog, its worth every minute:)

Ignorance

Ok so, this thing called a dog that lives where I live.  I will say this, he is NOT my dog.  I just can not believe how horrible of a dog he is!  Anyways, this dog used to be a decent dog until recently.  Every morning when I leave for work he chases me out the door, then tonight someone knocked on the door and in just attempting to answer it I get bit hard enough to leave a quarter size dark bruise on my leg.  Now I consider myself pretty tough but, it hurt!  What if this was my child...he could have bit his leg off literally...when I tell Bob this he says well just put him outside...okay, but when Bobs home he comes in whats the dam point and plus....he'll probably start tryin to bite me when I try and put him outside...ughhh sick of it! I feel like I'm a prisoner of this dog in my house....ri-frickin'-diculous!

Couldn't Have Said It Better

In my many trying times right now.I have to say Trace Adkins says it best when he says "You're Gonna Miss This".  I have always liked this song but until now I never truly loved it.  I could pretty much say that this song describes my crazy life!

Watch "Trace Adkins - You're Gonna
Miss This" on YouTube

1 Year? No Way!

As most of you know 1 year ago today my life changed forever!  I just can not believe its been a year.  I have watched my sweet baby Henry transform into a little boy in what felt like a snap of a finger.  I knew nothing of what "love" truly felt like until this little boy came into my life!  Henry Everett Lueders, your still and always will be one of the best things that has ever happened to me.  You woulf be "the" beat thing but, then came wyatt so now you share the prize!  Love u to pieces Henry even your new and old annoying habits( like duck lips and the infamous "whats that").  Happy 1st Birthday Baby!

I'm In Love

Alright no more looking, I have found the love of my life!  Okay until Patrick Dempsey knocks at my door.  My love is completely perfect for me in every way imaginable!  Oh how I love my Keurig machine!

And The Answer Is?

Well as most of us know having kids is HARD work!  Having kids 11 months apart is NUTS!  Don't get me wrong I LOVE my kids to pieces.  I have a routine now and I don't like getting it messed with at all!  I get up about 1/2 hour to an hour before everyone in my household which makes it around 5 am.  I do the dishes which usually consist of bob's ice cream bowl from the night before and a few bottles.  I make my coffee, I start some laundry, and maybe squeeze in a shower.  By now at least Bob or Henry or both are up.  I get Henry prepared for the day, start his breakfast.  Usually mid breakfast for Henry, Wyatt wakes up hungry.  I start feeding Wyatt while I finish Henry's meal, then get Wyatt dressed.  Then, I can play with the boys awhile.  Next, is lunch time...usually pretty easy, Wyatt sleeps well around this time of day and Henry eats well!  Nap times get hectic, 1 goes down and 1 wakes up!  Anyhow, you get the point...my routine doesn't really involve Bob.  His routine has been the same for WAY too many years and lets face it, his didn't include kids(just a dog).  Well, I was lucky to get mornings til eight out of him as long as I did. 
  I don't like hating on people but sometimes, a person has to vent in order to not go out of their minds! 
  I don't think I could have picked a more self-centered man in this world...like seriously, example:  He comes home tonight just as I'm getting the first child to sleep, I still have 1 to go...it's been quite a night with them so far.  Bob then asks about supper!  HA! I hadn't had time to think about supper yet and its 7, so he says "well, Cowboy Bob needs a ride home and will probably want to stop and grab a bite to eat."  Okay fine go, I guess I expected a simple....can I bring you something home?  Instead I get...I'll be back. 
  I have so much to think about here...is this what I want to deal with the next however many years?  Not only is that the ultimate issue but, I'm starting to see this house in ways I didn't before.  Henry is practically walking now, we have a pellet stove in our living room.  HMMMM? How in the world am I to keep him away from that?  IMPOSSIBLE
  We are completely out of room.  As good as it sounded when Wyatt was a surprise in my belly that we were going to be building on...WHEN?  Let's be honest...Henry's room is now ruined and probably gonna end up molding and useless, that leaves me what choice.  I wish I had all the answers in life...but, that would be way too easy.

That Really Yanks My Chain

Last night on the news I see this picture of a girl come on screen.  She has just been arrested.  She has bags under her eyes that are darkened, she looks drunk/stoned.  What was she arrested for you might ask?  Going out drinking all day and leaving her 9 month old twins home alone.  Aka...child neglect two counts cause their twin babies.  So, the kids are with their grandma and the chick will appear in court, she will probably do herself a little jail time but, then if she jumps through a couple hoops she will get another shot at being a "mom". 
  This REALLY pisses me off.  It is mothers like this that should be locked up forever and take out their womanhood so they can't have anymore kids.  I have multiple friends that are unable to have children that would make wonderful parents.  A classmate that because of a battle with childhood cancer, can not have kids.   I hear him amd his wife are working at their foster parenting license.  Good! They are great people.  It would be hard to do though because in situations like this idiot mother, you could just get attached to these babies and BOOM they could be gone again. 
  A couple other friends looked into full adoption.  Their credit and every aspect of their lives gets examined.  Is that really worth it?  They even ask for bank statements!  I'm pretty sure no one asked for my credit score or account balances when I got pregnant.  Now I realize we want the best for these children but, money doesn't buy love.  A thorough background check seems to be more important to me.  I guess the point I'm getting at is that, maybe after these mothers screw up that badly, with children that young, we have to think how much joy those kids still could bring some people in this world.  Yes, they went to their Grandma in this case which is wonderful, keep children in their families when possible.  Yet, if not possible, let them get placed with a family that can wrap their arms around them and help them forget about their dead beat mother that abandoned them.

Terrible Twos

Ok seriously, someone failed to tell me that the terrible twos start around age 1.  This child of mine (Henry), seems to be starting to test me.  You tell him no and he watches you as he does it just one more time to see if anything has changed in that 30 seconds that went by.  We have already implemented the timeout plan.  He hates it by the way he may not understand it quite yet but, too bad.  He is really bad at chasing the dogs, bad idea with the monster that Bob calls his "soulmate" (yeah seriuosly), we started the crib timeout so Henry doesn't get his face tore off!  It breaks my heart to break his heart but, guess somebodys gotta be the bad guy:)

I Wish Babies Could Talk

So, they tell me my baby boy could have colic....ok agreed but could it be acid reflux instead,all I get from the doctor is "you will just have to trial and error to find which formula is best."  If Wyatt could just talk he could tell me all his pains and we could move on.  Poor Wyatt, moms no doctor but she will figure you out, hopefully soon!

Out With The Old In With The New!

Okay, so evidently my last blog has been so long ago they locked me out of it!  So, this is the new and improved blog!  I'm really gonna try and keep this one up with what little spare time I have due to the new lovely addition: Wyatt Charles Lueders!  He's little (kind of...9lbs. 14oz.), he's cute, and he's gotta alot of growing to do so he can catch his brother!  If Henry doesn't succeed in hurting him first.
