Attached at the hip...literally!


Definitely felt like this yesterday, lol. Let me explain.

Yesterday was the first day Chloe and I spent together where I didn't have to worry about school. She was home after being almost a week at her grandmother's house. From the moment we woke up until she went to sleep that night, she did not let me go. She wanted me to sit down and play with her. Which I didn't mind doing but she didn't want me to get up at ALL. Plus the house was a complete mess since I hadn't done any housework for almost three weeks. I spent the day alternating between chores and clingy child. She didn't want me to put away clothes or wash dishes. She just wanted me to sit down and talk to Ginger the talking cat on the IPad or draw her name over and over again on a piece of paper. A few times I just had to sit there while she played then try to sneak away after about ten minutes. I know it's because she missed me and I missed her too! Even when we went to church later that night she didn't want to be with anyone else. She only wanted to be in my arms. My little sweetness. Now the house is clean so we can sit down and play all day long if she wants lol. 

How about you? Has your child ever been extra clingy with you? Didn't let you do anything all day?

How am I supposed to breathe with no air?

Having a toddler is one of the most difficult jobs I've undertaken to date. It is very time and energy consuming. Today was one of those days where I felt completely drained and overtaken by a three-foot tall terrorist. Today Chloe was extra needy, extra clingy, extra whiney and extra getting on my last nerve. Today she barely took a nap so I didn't get much time to myself in the afternoon. All I was able to do was eat some lunch. I tried to entertain her by taking her to the park and try to get out some extra energy, but I think it was counterproductive because she apparently became overly tired when we got home. From 5:45pm to about 9:30pm, she was all whines and cries, for no apparent reason at all. Well, I do know why. She was tired and didn't know how to relax and wind down. She barely napped and just couldn't find a way to keep calm. I tried to give her dinner first so she could be well fed and then I would eat when her father got home. She ate a small amo

Post Tax Season Breather

April 15th came and went and I couldn't be more pleased with myself. It was my first REAL tax season as a tax accountant. I learned a great deal of information and can honestly say I understand taxes much better than last year and can really hold my own. It was such a rewarding experience for me. Tax season however proved to be very draining and even more so for my family. During those three months, I had to put in some long hours. On most days I would arrive past 8pm and worked every single Saturday for a full work day. While I was learning and really appreciating what I did, my family felt my absence. It was very tough on me. Every morning my daughter would tell me how much she missed me and how she did not want me to leave for work. She would call me out and tell me I didn't spend any time with her. She was right and I felt terrible about it. Yet selfishly I didn't know what I could do. The last thing I wanted to do after a 12-14hr day was play blocks with a toddl

Makes me wanna...SCREAM

I think I'm a very patient, loving and understanding person but there are some days where all the wrong buttons are pushed and I feel like I'm going to lose it and scream. Today was one of those days. The culprit? A certain three foot tall diva that calls herself Co-ee. Last night we brought in the New Year at church. We celebrated with our fellow brothers and sisters and ate some finger foods. We arrived in our house at about 1:30am and we all went to bed around 2. I thought for sure Chloe would sleep in since she went to bed so late, but she didn't. Chloe woke up around 9 and I couldn't be more grouchy. I was able to get her to sleep another hour with me in the bed between my husband and I but that was it. She was up and ready to play. Luckily my husband saw how tired I was and took the baby to the living room to watch cartoons. I thank God for him because I just needed a little more time to sleep if I was going to function properly. The afternoon went along jus
