because (occasionally) there are those bedtimes ...
that, honestly, make you want to initiate an online auction for your children.
-- with all the hyperactivity and crying and read-it-agains and whining and i-wannanother-snacks ...
the bidding will start at $1000. i am totally kidding about this option.
... or pour (at the very least) 3 more glasses of wine.
i am NOT kidding about this option.
and on very lucky days ...
you have your best(est) friend and her absolutely adorable gorgeous scrumptious - and also screaming and crying - baby girl spending a few nights with you ...
you just pour (at the very least) 3 more glasses of wine for each of you and giggle over pictures and notes and letters corresponding you across the country in high school.
and yeah. then you realize ... you could totally still be in high school worrying about boys and algebra.
that is when you realize ...
screaming babies are a breeze.
about me
- jen
- i am the mommy of two little sunny girls and a delicious new baby boy. i am the wife to a fantastic husband. i am the head keeper to a zoo of pets. i help kids to talk - as my oldest describes my job ... but (not so secretly) wish to stay at home with my girly-girls. i love to craft and be creative ... but often don't have the time (or energy). i love to cook and bake ... but we often sacrifice extravagent meals for easy ones. i love that i'm finally living the dream of being a professional photographer ... but i'm always learning and trying new things. i want my girly-girls to grow up and be amazing human beings ... but, for now, all i know is that they amaze ME daily. oh yeah ... and i hate to type in capital letters. unless it is for emphasis. THEN i capitalize the ENTIRE word ... just thought you'd like to know. my shift key ISN'T broken.

They really are. So glad to hear that your grandma is going to be all right and you are able to relax and have fun with a friend. Enjoy!
I remember those bedtimes! HOLY HELL, they sucked! But...guess what?!? They get sooooo much better!
That kind of good friend makes anything a breeze! Have fun!
Say HI to Sara for me!
My little boy has decided that he no longer needs naps. And so my life as we know it is OVER. What will I do without my 3 hour break in the afternoon? WHAT??????
Thank god I have a box of wine!
Compared to high school? Um, YES! I'll take 10 more before I'd go through that again!
jUST THINK BEFORE YOU KNOW IT, YOUR KIDS WILL BE WORRYING ABOUT BOYS AND ALGEBRA - THEN YOU WILL BE RIGHT THERE ALL OVER AGAIN. AND YOU WILL BE WISHING FOR THE BEDTIME NIGHTMARE AGAIN!
GREAT POST!
Thanks for the perspective! We've had a lot of screaming babies around here lately and when you're smack dab in the middle of it, ebay sounds great!
With that positive attitude (and also with the wine) you can come to my house ANY time!
I have to say- reading this was excellent birth control. I honestly don't know how you girls do it!
