goin light green

I have been reorganizing the holy trifecta in our house.   The kitchen island is right off the pantry which has the door to the garage in it.  The little heartbeat of our house can become a dumping ground.  I emptied out the entire kitchen three days ago and started from there.   I am still not finished.   But in the past month I have not bought any paper plates or my select a size paper towels.  Two years ago I was going through them both at lightening speed, so I am happy about my small green habit. 

bitchy much?

I went back and reread my last 5 or so posts and I needed to chillax.  Although I am old enough to know by now that when things brew it usually is so that something can be worked through or let go. 

Hey the corned beef is done

 heard no one in my house tonight since I pulled it out of

the oven at 12:09 the 18th of March.  I could get all after midnight on you all and launch into a theory of mine that because this last week has had anything but patience for me.   That ol corned beef made me wait for it for 10 hours in the oven, and my family had a very meatless Monday that included broccoli flat bread pizzas.   maybe we will have reubens on Thursday....and that's a BIG maybe.

Since being a first time mom I find that I really don't know what to expect.  If someone would of told me that when your child is three you will roughly get over 3000 requests for stuff per day.....well I guess that's part of the fun, not knowing.......right?

im gonna count to 3

I finally said it to my daughter who turned 3 almost 2 months ago.  you see she was standing in our freezing cold garage in nothing buy her diaper, yes diaper because lately she cant like underware.   I really needed her to come inside because first off her feet were going to get frost bite and break off and secondly I was in a hurry to get the dishwasher unloaded and loaded for the 2nd time around, and yes the countertops are crummy needing a wipe and then the floor needs a sweep and it all makes me anxious.   So It worked,  I told her that I was gonna count to three and if she was not inside we were going to bed early, and boom in the house she came........I can just see this same scenario in 6 months...I am going to count to 3 and she is going to say count to  million for all I care.

time saved?

Well we have all sprung forward.  All I heard today was how confused everyone was. I am included in this.  All of our clocks have not been updated so I was adding an hour to the time on the clocks on the microwave and stove.  At my dentist appointment today, my hygienist let me know that she hadn't really gotten much sleep because she was adapting......ok.....and my mom was of course unsure of what day it is...was...whatever

polar vortex

For a person who has never minded winter, I for the first time in my life am ready for Spring.  Another something that I really never cared for are the hours of daylight that lead up to Summer equinox.  But as we a getting ready to spring forward, I am excited.
Lately the grey days have been getting to me.  Having a toddler to keep entertained is far easier when going outside is at least bearable.  Yet still I do not want to go to Kindermusik tomorrow, it is a great group of mothers, all real nice, kids are sweet, the instructor is awesome, on and on.   That hour can be extremely exhausting,  mentally.  Yea I need some sun.
