"THAT LADY..."

Have you ever been somewhere and you see a lady doing something that you swear you will never do in your entire life? For example the lady that decides to breastfeed in public and not be so discreet. She claims its natural. I say yeah your baby has to eat but seriously get a damn blanket! So, where am I going with this post? A reality check for myself because before becoming a mom I said I would never do these things and couldn't understand....now i totally understand and can even sympathize (I KNOW I AM P-A-T-H-E-T-I-C). So here is the run down of things that I have become....

1) I am "that lady" you see in the grocery store who lets her kid open a bag of m&m's and by the time I get to the check out it's just an empty bag...yes I am "that lady"

2) I am "that lady" at the restaurant who barricades her child in the booth. All while my child is screaming, clanking the silverware, and has some sort of food smeared across his face and refuses to let me assist in feeding him. I am "that lady" that gets dirty looks from the other customers. I am "that lady" that the servers say I am so glad that is not my table. I am "that lady" who thinks this is a GREAT and RELAXING dinner!

3) I am "that lady" who allows her son to wear sunglasses wherever we go. In fact I almost encourage it...why? For some reason the sunglasses seem to have some magical powers that calm my crazy son. So whether it is inside or out, sun up or sun down I am "that lady" who lets her kid wear sunglasses regardless.

4) I am "that lady" who takes a 1 1/2 year old to the movies (I know WTF)! During the movie he watches for 10 minutes, decides he wants to run a marathon in the theater, has screaming fits followed by laughter as he sees his mom starting to sweat out of embarrassment, and trying to keep composed...I am "that lady" who goes in and out of the movie every 10 minutes. I am "that lady" who just ruined your movie and in the back of my mind thinks that wasn't so bad...maybe he will do better in Toy Story 3.

So yeah I have become "that lady" and I have realized it. I can PROUDLY say I have never been or will be the "breastfeeding lady"! Hey, I am only one lady and can't have all the fun. I know I say this a lot but it's a good thing Sesi is so cute or else...

Oh what a Night....

Last night I was ripped out of my sleep. Not from a crying child, or because my husband had hit someone with his car (if you don't know what happened it was hilarious) but by the LOUD THUNDER and the FLASHES of LIGHTNING......

While all this was going on outside, this is what was going on inside....

August Already.....

Where has the Summer gone? The nights are starting to cool,talks of school are buzzing (Asher starts Kindergarten), football practices are in full swing, and you can feel that fall is starting to wiggle its way in.....I am not ready for the FALL:( To try and hold onto Summer a bit longer we tried to take full advantage this past weekend and spend as much as we could out and about.
Friday we went to the park with the Findlay's followed by shaved ice.
Here is Lexi and Sesi in deep conversation....

Saturday we headed to the pool. Good times as usual.
Everyone grabs a drink and a snack before heading back in the water...

He may be the youngest but he eats and drinks the most! Gotta love him!

Sunday was pretty low key. Nice and relaxing. We made the drive to Ephraim to take Asher back, went shopping for a new lap top, went to visit the Lui's (thanks for feeding us mom) and then Matt and Sharrieff went to church. Oh what church is that you ask? Duh, GOLF! Matt had a good time as always and I am happy that Matt gets to enjoy his hobby with Sharrieff who is a great golfer and always good company.
