Long stories cut short and away we go....
1) Hayden gets a strange eye "situation" going on (oozy eye) so I squirt breast milk into it -that's right (bc it seem to cure everything else) and over night its' better. I just want to run around now and heal the world! Scraped knee? - breast milk, sore throar? - breast milk, peeling wall paper? breast milk.
2) So I'm sitting in between my two babies tonight feeding hayden sweet potatoes on one side and rubbing Alex's sore tummy on the other side. Things are going smooth until I realize I tried to serve Alex the sweet potatoes. If it wasn't for the look on his face like I served him poop on a spoon I would have continued. I would like to thank the sleepless night, the night before for that one.
3) As I type this I'm sipping a lovely and full bodied wine on this chilling eveing...out of a bunny cup because it was the first glass I could find after a long day.
"The heart of life" is my new favorite song. I sing it to Alex as I rock him through his little tummy aches.
Makes me smile "love turns the whole thing around, knowing it would all go the way it should, I know the heart of life is good"

tears, poops, deep thoughts, looking up
So it's early this morning and the boys and I are watching some cartoon on treehouse. "Miss Spiders..something or other. Anyway, I was saying the other day that I couldn't cry but low and behold this silly cartoon made me cry! lol
It was an episode about how a parent thought they weren't doing a good job and only they had problems with their kids. Do you think the creators of this cartoon wrote this episode for the parents? Or possibly something based on their own life? hmmmmmmmmm.
Anyway, all it took was one line and hello water works. "All you have to do is love your children and the rest will fall into place". Yup that did it!
But nice to know the tears are back baby.
PS Alex FINALLY pooped after four days and is sleeping like a baby (can you use that line when you're talking about a baby?) anyway, sound asleep after a night of pushing, crying and gas. I'm just so excited to have a moment to myself I don't know what to do!
yippy.... things always start to look up just when you're about to break. ever notice that in general. sort of a a rule of thumb in life i find.
anyway, that's as deep as i'm going this morning.

Kicking ass
Don't let my title fool you. I am not the one doing the ass kicking but the one receiving.
Alex is kicking my ass. Some days Hayden kicks my ass. I guess my only saving grace is that
the two of them have yet to kick my ass together. I wonder if they meet and disguss which weeks
they each get to KICK MY ASS.
Alex has a cold, Alex can't poop, Alex will not let me put him down. He is yelling at me as I type this.
Ding Ding Ding round 6 of getting my ass kicked has just started again.

Burning eye balls
I'm so tired that my eye balls are actually burning. call the fire department because there are flames.
EVERY TWO HRS 24HRS A DAY. I get the odd "good night" here and there but it's just a teast.
I was so frustrated the other night that I actually tried to cry and I couldnt. I could not produce tears if my life depended on it. Is that not the strangest thing you have every heard?
My eyes were too dry to cry. Oh and I needed it. I don't even remember the last time I had a good cry. For those of you out there who are not ones to cry when stressed, happy, mad etc you won't get this. For those of you who do like to cry, do you feel my pain?
I wonder if my body just naturally knew I was just too tired for the effort.
Anyway, I ate lindt chocolate instead and whataya know, got a second wind.
SCARY that, that is my new go to.
VERY SCARY says the extra pregnancy pounds under their breath.

Domestic Funny
I'm not one to air my dirty laundry but I can't stop laughing over this one.
Marcus and I are in a little "spat" the other day. I blurt out in the heat of the moment
"If we were not married I would have dumped you".
He pauses and replies "Oh trust me, I would have dumped you a lonnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnng time ago".
Oh no you didn't! Whats with the emphasis on the long? LMAO!

Progress and Problem
FINALLY, Alex has established a bed time..wooooowhoooooooooooo!
This was last night:
8:30pm - sleep
2:30am - eat
5:30am - wake (and dozed on and off until 6:30)
I slept 6hrs IN A ROW. I haven't done that in over two months. I was wide awake at 2:30am wondering how the heck I was going to fall back asleep.
So that was my progress, now here is my problem.
Hayden hits.
He hits Lui if he thinks he's going to steel his food and now he has started hitting Marcus and I if we don't understand what he's trying to say. I HATE BRATTY KIDS THAT HIT!!!!!!!!!! and now I have one.
We have slapped his hands, squeezed his hands, ignored him, yelled at him and nothing seems to be making any progress. I'm guessing persistance and consistancy is the key but I would love a little advice if anyone has any!?

Dirty Birdy
Ok... so our house is a flipping disaster. With Alex taking 20 min naps during the day I basically have time to eat and use the washroom so Marcus and I decided to get a cleaning lady to help out.
So I just received a quote from a private cleaning company and I couldn't get here to document the experience fast enough. A very tall and thin woman with an Eastern European accent just went through our home with a fine tooth comb. Dressed all in black and hair slicked back into a pony tail I could tell she meant business. After walking around with her clip board she came to me very serious and said "you are not going to like my numbers". My home was going to take 30hrs to clean (master bedroom 3hrs alone and the boys rooms 1.5hrs, kitchen 8hrs etc etc) The cost you ask? $1000!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
LMAO LMAO LMAO
We're dirty, but not that dirty.
