Stress Relief

I need to find a way to relieve stress. Josh has soccer and his own little projects. I have nothing. I can only blame myself, I guess. I need to get over the guilt of leaving Josh alone with the kids so I can get out of the house or do something on my own.

Sometime you just have to do it and then they realize that they do just fine! When you're done breastfeeding there really isn't anything stopping you! Get a little money together and go buy yourself a tiny prize :) Or start on your Christmas shopping.....shopping is always fun & best done when you are alone :)

I have been reading a lot in my a lone time(which is not often! :)....other then that I don't ever have time for hobbies anymore either.....

I hope you can get out soon!

Dave always tells me that i'm lazy and i dont do house work. He says it cant be that hard with the kids!? So he always tells me go out for a few hours to walk around some stores, when you come back this place will be spotless and i will have played with the kids! I did it only once for about an hour and a half, i came back to a very clean house and happy kids! It was weird but i knew he worked his butt off in that time, to prove his point!
He loves to play video games as his stress reliever, i cant think of one thing i like to do alone.

Yeah it's possible to watch kids and do housework, but tell him to do it every single day for 3 years and see if he still wants to be a jerk about it. I am SO SICK of doing dishes especially. It's a chore that needs done like 3 times a day. So how many times a day do I do it? Once... because I can't take it anymore. Seriously. #$%@ dishes haha

Oh man girl I am so with you on the dishes! I CANT stand them. Our neighbor, bless her heart, has a dish washer and she always says i just didnt feel like doing dishes today. Its a pain to put them in and put them away!....Hello i would do anything for a dish washer! How hard can it be to put sinks full of dishes in, some soap, and push a button? Gets me everytime! I tell him all the time once we have extra money, we are going to sam's club and buying nice Styrofoam plates!

I used to be really good with cleaning up the house, but that was when we had a small 2 bedroom apartment and it was just the 2 of us. I wish you didn't live so far we could hang out together!! Go to Applebee's!

How are you feeling by the way? every thing good with you and the baby? I cant believe we are having a boy! Im kind of freaking out, i have nothing for him and everything is so different. Diaper changes are different, potty training...etc! It will be an adventure for sure

You have to try to find something fun for you. I wish I had the energy for anything right now! I myself am tired of housework. The worst part is that I rarely let things go, I always do it. If nothing needs done I find something to clean or organize. I sometimes wonder where I went after becoming a mother. I used to do crafts and now they are all kids crafts. I used to shop and now there is no $ to shop. The only thing I still do for myself is talk on the phone, ha ha. I am with you all the way. Don't feel guilty though. I know its hard. I bought a new concealer the other day and told Dave I feel bad. Why is that? I may never know.

I started with mommy time at the gym. But that evolved to getting a job. Which was not a stress reliever. I think just getting out and doing something, even if its errands with out children is a stress reliever. Anything you can do to be a person and not a mommy for 45 min - 2 hours is a good thing.

Hurricane Sandy

This will be a gleefully uneventful post, but I thought I should at least inform everyone of our whereabouts during Frankenstorm. On Friday the landfall predictions were further south, which had the eye passing near our tiny town after obliterating Dover, DE.  We happen to be surrounded by water.  The Patuxent River on one side, Chesapeake Bay on the other, plenty of swamps and creeks in between.  Not a good prospect. Josh and I had gone out that night to try and secure supplies and already, there were no batteries or flashlights.  We also don't have a grill and thought "we'll try Lowe's tomorrow"I mean, most people already own grills... right?  Everything in our house is run on electricity (including the water pump for the well) except for the fireplace.  I don't know what builders are thinking when they do that.  I at least want a gas stove and water heater!  So, anyways.  We got a few hours of sleep before trying to brave the crowds...

Hiking on the Guadarrama Trail

As promised yesterday, I actually left the house and went on a hike with Mama C and Goober!  YAY! I was a bad Mommy and ill prepared to shield us from the hot Spanish sun so we all have a touch of sunburn.  Whoops.  It was fun though.  OK so here's where we began our journey.  You can see the bridge between the roundabout and the little house with a red roof (which is a restaurant).  All the cylindrical buildings were a plant nursery.  We walked over the bridge and past the nursery where we crossed the street and then started up the dirt path.  The other little building is literally a Gypsy Keep. Here's what it looked like from the road... and it was so ridiculously creepy, yet fascinating.  I don't know why there is always tons of junk in trees around gypsy places.  There was a gutted van in the backyard, a stroller jammed into a wall, shorts in the trees.  We both wanted to trespass, but the kids would have inevitably fal...

Germany

Noah and I are having a great time out in Germany with Josh. The house we're sharing is amazing and the people are also amazing. The only thing we don't have is our own kitchen, but like I said, the people who live here (Josh's friends) are amazing so it's not even an issue. I've been cooking for everyone to try to thank them in some way. We haven't been to many places yet. It's hard to go anywhere with a baby who has a naptime and a husband who has a job. However!! We managed to make it out to Heidelberg to see the castle. It was awesome. the walk up to the castle mmmm castle Heidelberg down below Christmas is huge here. They've even got Christmas markets out in the parking lot in front of WalMart. We've been to Luisenplatz a few times in downtown Darmstadt to visit all the Christmas shops they have set up. It's like a Christmas flea market. Thus far all I've blown money on is candy... mmmm German candy is so delicious. It's...
