So What Wednesday

This week, I'm saying so what to...

I'm done making Parker's baby food. I'm tired of doing it and I got a great deal on Earth's Best on Amazon...so I bought them. It doesn't help that he's really over puree anyway.

So what if I need a mani/pedi and Conner tells me I have nasty feet. Babysitters are hard to come by and when I have one, I like to get organized not spend {more} money at a nail salon.

So what if I have zero motivation...still. whatever.

So what if I decided to stop including certain people in fun things that my kids are doing. I always text this one person pictures or when the kids do something cute and NEVER get a response. DONE.

So what if I wait until 5pm every day to clean up. On days that I don't, I just walk around picking up toys constantly to have the kiddos pull them right back out.

So what if I think my kids are cuter than your kids. Have you seen them lately? They're totally cute.

What are you saying so what to?

Saturday Morning Scene

Saturday Morning Scene



I'm linking up with Katie b/c I think this is super fun!

Here's what I'm looking at today

13.1

Yesterday, I did something pretty drastic. I registered for a half marathon. It's not until October 2 so I have some time to get completely ready for it. I have decided that I'm going to have a possee with me. So far, I have my sister and new friend Sara running it with me. I'm trying to convince someone from high school that is running her first half this month to come down to the ATL and run it too. She's not all in...yet. I've also decided that if I get 3 people to run w/me, I'm going to make shirts. I'm so excited and nervous about it. It's the training plans that make me nervous.


Check out the rad lime green shirt for participants...oh and they have FREE beer at the finish line! woot woot. I might be able to run 13.1 for that alone!

Friday Five

Five things you always have in your pantry

1. Peanut butter; It's my staple of choice and must be JIF, full fat. That reduced fat stuff isn't as good
2. Wheat Thins; Josh's fav
3. Pop Corn
4. Ramen Noodles; Conner LOVES these
5. Apple sauce cups; you know, those little 4 oz ones

This is how we roll

When I have 2 kids climbing all over me, I have to get creative to squeeze in some form of fitness. I love to do crunches; I always have. I love sore abs. I'm a weird-o, I know. As soon as I lay on the floor, I have company. I just go with it.



and what you do for one, you must do for the other...

So What Wednesday



This week, I'm saying SO WHAT to..

So what if I haven't put my photography stuff away yet. I had a session yesterday and I just haven't felt like putting it all away.
So What if I love the fact that Harley's shock collar works now.
So What if I enjoy sitting my big butt on the couch.
so What if I have only run one day this week. It's on my to do list for the day
So What if I hate laundry. I really hate it.
So what if I left the laundry in the dryer/washer b/c I knew my MIL was coming over today to watch the kids. I knew she'd fold it and reload the washer/dryer.

What are you saying so what to?

More awesome than awful.

That's been me all day. Conner has kept me on my tippy tippy toes today. The morning started out awesome! I got my run in, Parker napped, Conner ate...triple win for this mama! Then the tornado Conner struck. I'll just give you the run down and then the ultimate funny story.

1. He took all of the diapers out of the plastic sleeve and threw them on the floor in the guest room. Why? He needed a bag for his tractors. As I was cleaning that up...

2. I hear a chair dragging across the kitchen floor. I yell for him to put the chair back. No response...uh oh, that's not good. I had to get the diapers cleaned up b/c my little goat Parker was trying to eat them, I decide not to neatly do anything and just to throw them in the box. I know you're wondering what Conner was doing. Well, he was at the sink with 2 cups, one glass and he was filling them up with water. I have NO idea what his plans were but...I put him on the floor and took the chair away. He screamed.

3. He gets really quiet again...He was in the guest bathroom playing with...wait for it...self tanner and my makeup. oy.

4. I'm trying to get Parker down for his nap...Conner told me he needed to pee pee so I took him and then I walked out of the bathroom. He normally follows me but today is not a normal day. After I get Parker in his crib, I checked on Conner. He had gotten my dry shampoo out of the drawer in there (it's basically powder), unscrewed the lid and poured it not only in the drawer but all over the floor and his little potty. The best part...he had hair spray and he was spraying it into his hand and wiping his butt. I'm honestly, still laughing at that. I made him help me clean it up and explained to him what the spray stuff was. I got him cleaned up and now both kids are napping.

This mama might need some wine tonight!

It's more awesome than awful though so I'll take it.

Defeat and the Oscars

Today, I was defeated by a hill. Yep, a hill. There is this one hill in my neighborhood that always wins when I'm running. Today, I decided that I would slow my pace down and beat this hill. I was almost to the top and it won. I couldn't run anymore. I walked to the top and ran again. Then the kids defeated me. Conner started saying, "go home, out of stroller". Parker started screaming. Let me just say that two kids fussing at you makes you run just a little faster so that you can get them out of the stroller and remedy the issue. I don't think I would have ran 2.5 miles in 24 minutes had the kids been happy. Maybe I won afterall?!


How was your weekend? Did you watch the Oscars? The only reason I got to watch it is because we were at my ILs and my FIL likes it. Josh hates it.
Anne Hathaway looked fab


I hated this look on Cate.


I didn't love this on Mila either but I didn't hate it. I will say that I think her makeup looked fantastic.


Reese...she just does no wrong. FAB


I do not know what Melissa Leo was thinking...To ME, that looks like a doiley with gold foil under it.


One word...ICK



There's more I could say but I've gotta shower before the little one is up. Happy Monday!
