Late Nights & Early Mornings: It's Only Ok When It's By Choice

I went to sleep late last night because I felt the need to watch Scrubs episodes on hulu.com, and snack on a late night PB&J. The quietness of the house after everyone is asleep is my haven. This is when I can just veg out and finally RELAX. No tugging on my arm, no "mom! mom! look at me!", not even a husband to chat with. Just me and whatever I want to do.

Mostly I want to recoup my sanity and remember that I am a person. Not just a boogie-wiper. Not just the hand that feeds them. Not just a play mate who re-enacts Disney movies over and over.

So heck yeah, I will watch adult-appropriate content on Scrubs! I will eat late at night if I want to. The No More Food After Dinner, and If I Do Give in to Your Baby Bird "Cheep! Cheeps!" Then You Can Just Have Some Fruit Rule does not apply to me! And oh yes, I will pee with the door shut in total, utter and complete silence!!!

It was good. Oh, so good. A girl could get used to this. Of course, I am paying for it this morning though because I had an atrocious back ache due to a certain baby who woke up at 6am wanting to cuddle with me, and so could not sleep in. Oh well! It was worth it.

The Sweetest Little Thing

The giveaway is closed to new entries! I will be selecting a winner at random and will notify the winner soon! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I am doing a giveaway for a beautiful, sweet little girls' apron. It ties around the back, has buttons down the front and has a cute little pocket for your chef-in-training to keep their mandolin or their chinoise in. Or whatever else fits. As you can see, it is pink with white polka dots and white trim. The buttons alternate in pink and white. I made this myself, and I will make one for you too! Well, not really for you. Unless you are a child who is extremely adept at using a computer to visit blogs. Which there probably are some. But really, it is for your daughter, your granddaughter, your neighbor's daughter, your niece, your BFF's daughter, or any other little girl that you love enough to try and win this for. You can also see more pictures of the apron over at Airing My Dirty Laundry . Entering is easy. Ways to enter are: 1. F

Pinot's Palette Town Square

The twins have been born!! In case you are wondering why I have been posting so little lately, this explains my absence. It's pretty amazing to snuggle two fuzzy baby heads instead of just one! But... it is also twice the work. Because of this, the sleepless nights and monotony of daily life tend to take their toll. Add into the mix 4 other children, whom I homeschool, and you get a mama who is in need of a good night out with friends. I have yet to attend a paint and sip studio, but I am kinda dying to get to one! The idea of relaxing with friends and having a chance to paint with something other than finger paints is very appealing to me right now. A little birdie told me that Pinot's Palette is opening a new location at one of my favorite spots - Town Square. In fact, it seems they're partnering with St. Jude's Research Hospital for their opening weekend on April 7th and 8th . I love a successful company that finds ways to pass on their good fortune, don't y

My Big Break

I made another video, starring ME. This is my big break. I am going to be discovered, I just know it. Leave me a comment and tell me how much of a fan you are and how you are going to name your children and/or pets after me. Follow me on Twitter. Stalk me a little. Ok, do not stalk me. I will call the cops on you. But you can totally dress like me, that would be cool. I am not sure where you are going to find such hip and stylish clothes, but it might be Target. I am neither denying nor confirming. I have had so much fun with all of this, I feel so privileged to have worked with Graco at the Expo! Don't forget to enter the giveaway of a Graco Direct Connect Baby Monitor!!
