TGIF

This week (as many may have guessed or have already heard me complain about) has been a really rough week. It's been one of those weeks that seems to last forever and you wish it would just go back to you-know-where because that's where it came from! I've been looking at these faces (sometimes with a few more tears, sometimes with a lot more tears) for the last five days....

Basically, I'm at the point where I'm barely surviving and I just keep telling myself, "Matt comes home at 5, Matt comes home at 5..." over and over.

The only thing keeping me going is knowing that somewhere in this mess of screaming, crying, and fit-throwing, these two people are going to come back (and hopefully very soon)...

Plus, today I decided in order to keep a shred of my sanity, I was going to take care of basic needs for everyone but then do something for myself. I was able to finish a new tutu for Cadance that will be making it's appearance around Valentine's Day. And now, I'm off to read until these monsters wake up again!

KYLE and NATALIE KOESTER said...: You need to just send Bauer over to my place, we can zip him up in the trampoline and let him jump it out for a while. It always gets Evelyn worn out.; January 22, 2010 at 8:21 PM
Marianne & Clayton said...: And I'll take little Cadance while you go to a movie or get a pedicure or something. Maybe just a nap. Seriously.; January 22, 2010 at 9:44 PM
McGinnis Family said...: Wow, if I could put a post on how I'm feeling on the topic, I could just copy and paste everything you put, except change the names-of course. I feel ya'! Raise your glass of milk for a cheers 'cause here's to a better week for ya'!!!!; January 23, 2010 at 2:05 AM
Becca said...: Hehe I agree...they still are super cuties even when they are being pills! I guess it is easier for me to say that because I dont have to experience it ;) I wish i were there and we could go out for some much needed R&R!; January 23, 2010 at 4:35 PM

Tony and Traci said...: I know exactly how you feel. I have been having one of those weeks too. At least you know when Matt is going to be home. I never know with Tony. Luckily I can burn some steam off in my workouts, but I haven't really had a whole lot of time to do something for myself. I only have one! I bet it's twice as hard with 2. Love you. You are a great mom.; January 26, 2010 at 5:08 PM
Janee said...: Oh no! I feel your pain! My kiddos (and Dan) were ALL sick for the past 2 weeks. It was total and utter HELL.

Yes girl, do what you need to do to maintain your sanity! Deep cleansing breathe! Call in reinforcements if you need to! You are awesome and next week will be better!

Bauer Moments

Bauer - "Me and Daddy are the dads, you're the kid, and Cadance is the mommy."
Me - "Great, then you can do all the work and I'll play all day! That sounds perfect!"
Bauer - "Oops. No, you and Daddy are the parents!" (5/2/11)

We walked past some kids playing basketball: "Wow, they're really good!....But I'm a little bit better." (4/29/11)

Easter Morning "Cay-cay and me got the most wonderful things!" (4/28/11)

"I didn't do it. It was just a dream I had." Bauer woke up to Cadance crying and wanted to make sure he didn't get in trouble for it! (4/20/11)

"I just said quietly to myself, 'Hmm, I like bubbles.'" (4/19/11)

We were driving with the windows open and there was a car in the next lane that was making a loud clicking sound. The sound got louder as we passed it and Bauer started yelling, "Quick! Roll up the windows! I hear something outside that's trying to come it!" He thought there was a really large spider on our roof trying to climb into the windows. (4/10/2011)

"Dang you dull chicken nugget!" (4/6/2011)

Talking about pancakes, "It feels as soft as a chick's fur!" (3/31/2011)

Talking about a tornado, "It's like a straw...only a lot bigger and twisty-er!" (3/30/2011)

Cadance was being particularly troublesome one evening and Bauer said, "She's such a mischief baby today! She must have decided that at naptime" and "She's the most mischief baby we've ever had!" (3/29/2011)

Getting frustrated while playing the Wii: "Alright, that's it!" (3/5/11)

"I just can't stop eating these, they're so good!" (2/24/11)

Talking about how he wanted an "Angry Bird" party for his birthday, "Some boys can be red birds, and some boys can be yellow birds, and some boys can be blue birds. Who wants to be the pigs?" Me - "I don't know." Bauer - "Hmm....maybe....you do, Mommy." (1/23/11)

After opening a McDonalds toy while we were in the car when he was supposed to wait until we got home, "Well, I was just interested in opening it...so I did." (1/10/11)

Bauer has a loose tooth! (Although he kind of did it to himself...) (1/7/11)

Whispered into my ear, "I just tooted out of my weiner." (12/3/10)

Written on a Thanksgiving project for school: "I'm thankful for chicks because they're my favorite animal." (11/26/10)

Bauer couldn't understand what Cadance was saying while we were in the car, so he came to the only logical conclusion, "She's just speaking Spanish!" (9/16/10)

Cadance's Corner

When I picked Cadance up from nursery today she was so excited to see me! She leapt into my arms, gave me lots of hugs, showered me with kisses, patted my neck and said, "Hi Mommy!" (4/10/2011)

She can reach the doorbell all by herself now! (4/10/2011)

Cadance thinks cat food is a suitable afternoon snack. (4/8/2011)

She likes to say, "Shew" (as in "phew") when she does something strenuous. (3/30/2011)

"Oops-shie!" (3/4/11)

Cadance sucks her thumb. When I rock her before bed she likes to tease me with her soaking wet thumb by holding it inches away from my face and laughing because she knows I don't want her to touch me with it! (2/1/11)

"Yuh-yoo" - I Love You "Bye-yoo" - Bye, I Love You "Pubby" - Pumpkin "Ninguh Nie-Nie" - Little Einsteins "Min-uh-ma" - Mario (1/29/11)

Is obsessed with showing us the picture of the Deep Dark Woods in her Peep and the Big Wide World book. She even yells out something that's supposed to sound like, "Deep Dark Woods!!" and we have to yell it back and then she says, "Boo!" (1/21/11)

Taps my mouth and sings "E-i-o" to get me to sing Old Macdonald of sings "How I Wond" so that I'll sing Twinkle, Twinkle. (1/12/11)
