Packing + a Toddler

Today, I am spending my day packing... there is so much damn stuff!!! I have 5 seperate lists happening all at the same time.

I packedKollins clothes already... and just his clothes alone took up an entire suitcase! and his clothes are the smallest item that NEEDS to be packed.

I really cant waitto go. Im so excited. I cant wait to see his face at Disney when he sees all of the characters... PRICELESS!!!

but for now.. its packing.... the LEAST fun thing to do... actually no.. the LEAST un thing to do is UNPACK whenyou get home...

thats always a depressing day..

Its not easy

pulling my hair out is becoming an everyday thing for me lately *lol*



Kollin has just entered the terrible 2's.. and they are full force HAHA. He loves to test the boundaries, and he sees how much he can get away with.

I just keep telling myself...this is normal behavior... this is ok...

but sometimes, i just dont believe it.

*sigh*

and like always.. I LOVE HIM!!!

Just one of those days....

Thats today...

Kollin has been great... he always is.. hes the highlight of my day.... Ijust wish everything else would go that smoothly....

I have faith that tomorrow will be better though...it usually is!!! :)

But as for today...its just one of those days...

Kollins new *trick*

Earlier today, I went to go pick up Kollin from my moms house. He came runningup to see me, and I ask "Can momma have a kiss?" In return, I usually get an open mouthed slobbery little kiss... but not this time.. this time, he looks at me, and starts shaking his head as if he was telling me "NO!" HAHA...

Apparently, this child is told "no no no" alot *lol* He needs one of those shirts that say "hello, my name is NO!"

A Beautiful Morning

Today is an especially beautiful morning. It rains all day yesterday, so today, I opened my eyes to my son staring at me, (LOVE that) and the sun shining through the window.


I got out of bed, and Kollin kept saying MAMA MAMA MAMA UP!!! *lol* What an awesome way to start my day.

Today he is going to my moms (hus grams) for the day. He LOVES going there... gets to be spolied even MORE than I spoil him.... and his PA... thats all he talks about is his PA!!

I love my son SO much, but damn is it nice when my mom takes him for the day. I get a few hours of peace and quiet, and some alone time. But even then, I ever *rest*. Now is the time that I get to ctchup on house hold chores I didnt get accomplished, and get to conquer the piles of laundry that are in the corner of my room. But I tell ya what, its SO easy to get this stuf done WITHOUT the presence of a toddler *lol*

but on these days.. I miss him... the house is empty... and quiet *lol*

I love this.

Seeing something like this puts a beautiful end to the hetic day.

Showering

I dont know why, but why is showering so difficult when you have a child? Its amazing how you dont have 15 extra minutes during the day to shower. I hate showering at night.... showers dont make me tired, the wake me up... but a moms gotta do what a moms gotta do.

Peace and Quiet

Kollin is finally sleeping.

Its amazing how much he has grown, and how much we both have changed. Hes becoming very verbal now., its amazing. He talks... no wait.. YELLS all the time. Secretly, I wonder if that's because Kurt and I used to fight around him. Gosh I hope that's not the case. *sigh*

His friend Tyler, who is 17 months was over today. They play so cute together. They love to run up and down the hallway screaming to the top of their lungs... all while I am in the kitchen banging my head into the wall... I swear, I get headaches everyday. They can break the sound barrier *lol*

We have a trip planned for Disney.. we leave in 10 days... We are driving... that's the only part I am not looking forward to. But gosh, to see his face when he sees Mickey Mouse for the first time.. that's going to be priceless.

Well, the house is quiet.. time to shower and relax...
