OH! Hey Hey Hello! TGIF, friends! For me, this week just flew by, I can’t even remember talking about that awesome Baked Oatmeal, nor can I recall all the ingredients I used in my Fiesta Rice. Good thing this internets stuff exists – all I have to do is hit the back button. YAY for the easy life!
But, I’m in a lemonademood right now. And by mood, I guess I mean phase. I’m really into it,especially when there’s a twist.Like a big ole bubbly and boozy twist. I’m into it.
I haven’t had a babysitter in over a month now, and wherever I go, including Target (YES, I take my kids to a babysitter, aka my Mom, when I need to run to Target because ➡)the little ones have to come with me and it’s a scream fest. I’m no Mom expert, but taking kids to Target?!? DON’T! Every Pet Shop toy, every Barbie, every darn Frozen themed ANYTHING!! All of that HAS to make it to the cart. And when I leave those toys at the register, asking the kind cashier to put them back, well… can you just guess what happens? Yah. Scream Fest 2016. It’s dang loud. And sometimes very embarrassing.
ON the other hand, they really are well behaved, nice kids, but something happens when they see toys. There’s a switch and they turn into monsters.
I LOVE my babies so much and thank Goddaily for them, but you know… as evidence states,mommy life calls for a Happy Hour Lemonade.
BUT. Seriously.Lemonade and vodka?And gin? I’m losing my mind, right? For a good reason, though – I’m celebrating ME! AND ALL YOUMAMAS, too.
