So I'm not much for blogging, I'm not nearly as clever as most people and at times I find myself writing far more technically than necessary (that's what happens when you are the child of an English teacher I suppose) but yet here I am, about to try it once again.
First I must say, I love my life and find joy in it each day but sometimes, Mommy needs a cocktail! Working full-time from home is both a blessing and a curse, I am never truly "off the clock" because my "employer" expects responses to emails almost instantly. So even when I think I'm able to get something done for "me", like writing this blog, I have emails pinging and a 2.5 year old who's gotten my iPhone to print lord knows what while watching potty training videos off YouTube (turns out it's pictures of curious George videos, seriously?!?). So right now, Mommy needs a cocktail!
I adore being home with baby-J, although he has recently taken to telling us he is NOT a baby, but a Kid (insert quiet sobbing here) sometimes I miss going to work and dealing with adults who act like children, because at least they can properly communicate exactly what they want. To be fair, J is a pretty amazing communicator. For example, today he decided to inform me that after the grocery store he "Wanted to go to Target and buy a toy" which isn't all that surprising since if he even Sees Target from the road he freaks out! Yesterday morning he walks into my bedroom and tells me that "Daddy is an A##hole" in shock (and to clarify) I asked him to repeat himself and he responds "Daddy is an A##hole, he went to work today!" After fighting back fits of laughter and explaining to him that A##hole is not a nice word I thought to myself, is 8am too early for a cocktail? Then I realized wow, I better get my road-rage under control because that is my go-to word for the Idiot drivers of the world and we've spent a LOT of time in the car over the last 2 months!
So as I finish this post, J is running around the room singing about washing his hands while chasing the poor dog, and all I can wonder if the hubs is on his way home yet because it's time to start dinner, and Mommy really wants a cocktail!

Oh my! I hear ya, and although I don't work, many tasks are challenging with toddlers! I'm not a huge drinker, but I could use one at times too or heck I'll be happy with extra sleep! =P
Thankfully I'm not into swearing, but I say frick a lot, still not good. Now in the car though Isabella will say "beep at them mama", lol, I've beeped at quite a few people being here, haha!
