I didn't even last a week, with the "I'm gonna update everyday thing". I took the weekend off to spend it with my husband and children. We needed it. I missed Army wives on sunday, so I watched it tonight. There are definitely times when I can empathize with Pamela. When is enough, enough... and when is not enough, TOO much??
I couldn't even imagine having my husband just disappear for unknown quatities of time like Chase does.. Its hard enough with him being here in the states, with crappy hours. DH's hours are from 3:40 am when his alarm sounds off, to 7 or 8 pm when he comes draggin in from work, eats a quick dinner, tucks the kids into bed, and then heads for shower and bed himself so that he can get up and do it all again the next day. There are definitely days where I don' feel important, and I certainly don't feel like a priority in his life. I feel alot of times like I just get his left overs, and sometimes that really sucks!
The "new" Army says its family oriented, but its really not. At least it doesn't feel that way when you are the one playing the hurry up and wait game.
But anyway LOL. Had a great weekend even though I waited on pins and needles for Monday to come around so that the hospital would call me with a date for Miss Thing's EKG. Monday came and went. The hospital called, and apparently I'll have to be a little more patient, as she's not scheduled until June 3rd. On top of it all the boys have been horrible. They have been fighting like cats and dogs.. Here's to hoping the week gets smoother!! :)

My 6month old daughter, The Diva, has been having weight issues... as in she's not gaining weight at the rate that the pediatrician would like. We had our follow up weigh-in today and she has gained almost a pound, which is GREAT! Unfortunately she's also having some other medical issues. Her feet keep turning blue. This coupled with the lack of weight gain have her pediatrician worried that she might have something wrong with her heart, so next week my baby girl gets to get an EKG. More or less it boils down to a very very worried Mommy, who is praying desperately for SOMETHING to go right!
Sorry for the lack of humor looking on the situation.. More than likely its nothing, but I am (admittedly) a worrier by nature. I love my monster's soo much.. all three of them, that I can't bear the thought of something being wrong with them that a bandaid or tylenol can't fix. it seems as though every day around here is an adventure.. I don't know about YOU all, but I know that I could do with a little bit of boring for awhile. Happily.

So here in lovely Misery... um.. Missouri, school has just gotten out for the summer for my preschooler. Yesterday was his last day, and what does the sky do? Why it opens up and is pouring down the rain accompanied by a sound and light show! What a wonderful way to start off summer vacation. Instead of going to the pool, or playing outdoors, they kids are sentenced to boredom indoors. They probably wouldn't be that bored, if they hadn't managed to get TV taken away, but they did; for fighting. And since they are so bored, its going to be a vicious circle. The tv got. taken away because they were fighting because its been raining for the last few weeks and they've been stuck indoors, but now they are going to fight more because they don't even have the distraction of the television to keep them amused.
Who thought of this whole summer vacation thing?? Whoever it was should be kicked. Really hard! I would be much happier if they went to school year round. SIGH!
I guess I better get inventive.. quickly. I have a tutu order to get done by this weekend. I have to keep the boys amused, and The Diva (my 6 month old daughter) has a pediatric follow-up on friday morning... and the forecast looks as if it will be another Mommy adventure of dragging 2 preschoolers along with us. FUN. I guess I'll cross my fingers and hope for the best. Okay.. It is 1 AM (10 til anyway) so I am going to attempt to find somewhere to sleep, since the Middle Monster kicked me out of my bed.
Night.. and here's hoping that the sun will decide to make an appearance before I lose my ever-lovin mind.

We all set out to start a blog and have it be witty and funny. Something to garner followers to actually read what you are writing. Somehow that rarely happens.. Everytime I read someone's hilarity, it makes me compare to my own life, and find that HEY funny stuff happens to me too.. sadly I think I'm the only one amused.
Anyway, I figured I'd start this blog, to exercise my daily frustrations, to house my project 365, and to generally make myself write. My goal is to update at least once a day. ((Hehehe! that in itself is hilarious because 1. Summer is here 2. I have 3 children under Five 3. I am a procrastinator in the extreme!)
Anyway, since mostly this blog will probably be devoted to my children's mishaps, then I named it More and More Tomorrow. The URL is http://loveyoumoretommorrow.blogspot.com/ . The reason for this is that while I was growing up, when it seemed my mom was at her wits end she would tell us:
I love you whole bunches, all the time, everyday, a whole lot, too much, and more and more tomorrow.
When the grandkids came along she added Forever and Always NO MATTER WHAT to the end.
I find myself repeating this constantly because (yes you can admit it) there are days when as Mom's (or parents) that we are ALL at our wits end. There are days when we don't WANT to love anybody, except maybe a break. This little sentence sometimes saves my sanity, and even better.. Its TRUE! I do love them that much. I love them enough to try and move heaven and earth, no matter how impossible that may be or seem. I love them so much that sometimes it DOES hurt me to punish them, more than it hurts them.
So that is my Mom's legacy of LOVE that I am passing on to all of you.
