new obsession

Here it is....not young house love....a store that young house love crashed for the decor(which is prec..as in precious), but that's not the important part....it's the type of store that's important. A children's upscale consignment shop. I mean, not even upscale, just cute only! Liiiiiiiiiiiike! Liiiiiiiiike! Liiiiiiiiiiiike! I don't know if this exists in Houston, but I don't think it does. Everyday I get an email with about 10 listings of Mom's of Multiples classifieds. Most of these are clothes and Mom's of Multiples is not the only gig in town. There are so many Mom groups doing the exact same thing. These people would black out for a store like this...BLACK OUT!!!! Here's the link:

When are we opening this store??? And where are we opening this store?

Now....here's what I'm doing right now. Just bathed the girls, put them to bed, ate dinner(which I made all by myself..did not order or fake like I made, when in reality a store did), and now I'm sippin on some Red Wine and it makes me feel so fine while I sit here and read all of the blog posts I missed today while I was busy being a teacher. Loooooooooong day. Woke up, fed the girls, went to school, came home, hung out for an hour, and then had to go back to school for kindergarten orientation. It's so busy in this Limbo time between set up and first day. Sooooo busy, but so so so so so so nice to be in the same classroom, teaching the same grade as last year.

Alsoooooooo.....there was some nanny drama and now it is over. Mecca of all nannies starting here at this house next Monday. I can't wait, because right now I just feel guilty that the grandmothers are splittling the time. Nanny Laurie even did laundry today! So nice! It felt great to walk into the girls' closet and see an empty laundry basket...which brings me back to the nanny and how excited I am about her starting.

Now....I'm so excited about this weekend. We get to stay in town AND go to DJ's birthday party where we get to see EVERYONE we want to see....EVERYONE! And by we, I mean ME!

New Orleans was good.
Galveston was good.
Weekend at home is going to be the most fun.
School is going to be the most fun!
Done.

Well.....one pic and done!


ok 2...

Whoaaaaaaaa 4 months!

It's 4:57 AM and both babies are sleeping...ha! I'm NOT!!! All I can think about is school! SCHOOOOOOOOOOOOL.....at 5am!!!!! It's actually so so so so so fun to be thinking about school! Yesterday I went to my class to scope out the damage that occured while I was busy with babies. NO DAMAGE....hollllllllllllaaaaaaa!!! So I just went in there ripped down the old, put up some shiny and new goodies and serrrrrrrrrrrrriously I blacked out at how easy it was just to bounce right back into teacher mode! I thought about babies the whole time I was there, specifically Big Girl Laine, who now has little tantrums out of the blue and will only stop crying when the mom picks her up............serrrrrrrrrrrrriously so inconvenient when there are two sweet baby darlins to take care of!! I have so much to say and my mind is spinning thinking how long this post will be, so just exit when you are bored. OK?Ok!!! OK! OK! OK!

This month we hit up Austin, had a shower for cousin Sari at our house, a visit from Mrs. Kitty, and even went on our first plane ride! We rolled over, we grabbed things, we sat in Bumbos....I MEAN! Shiiiii! We smiled and laughed and talked! We had our first fevers, ridic diaper rashes, and then ended it all with our doctor saying we can start EATING RICE CEREAL AND BABY FOOD IF WE WANT....again.....SHIIIIIIIIIIIIII!!!!

I was going to go into massive detail about each of our trips but I've decided just to say this....both were fun, both were easy, and both made me feel like super mom living a normal life even though I have two little girls in tow.

We're in the middle of sleep training over here because if I don't sleep 8 hours in a row soon I'm going to DIE!!!! Like right now, I'm watching Laine squirm and listening to her whine, and keeping my fingers crossed that O doesn't wake up because it's only 5:10 and I want them to sleep until 6 and I'm not allowed to go in there and help the big girl fall back asleep until 15 min of crying goes by. Sleep training....ha! Last time she did this, she put herself back to sleep before the 15 minutes were up....progress??? Whatev....I'll take it!

Sooooooooo...not so long after all! Here are some pics!
