Messes and thunderstorms!

From beginning to end this Friday has been chalked full of messes and thunderstorms! I'll keep the thunderstorms because this South Carolina heat needed that rain to cool us all off. The messes can stop though LOL! My kids definitely kept me on my toes today! Let me start off by saying I didn't get much sleep last night. My son has been teething for the past month and starts to stir around 2AM and doesn't stop tossing and turning until we get up! So we finally got up this morning and ANTS everywhere!! UGH! I thought I got rid of them because I had a problem with them in my sons room last week. Today I walked into the living room and there they were! They were after my daughter's pizza crust that I didn't realize she didn't eat from last night. Our cat must of knocked it in the floor and the ants were super happy indeed. Needless to say I started my morning off getting rid of ants! I need to figure out where they are coming from because I have noticed they emerge if the tiniest crumb or a wrapper goes unnoticed in my house! After I had the ants taken care of I fed the children and myself. Friday's are my day off from my part time job and I get to work my full time job as mommy :)! I love having my Friday's to spend the whole day with my kids. Usually I just put the baby gates up turn on some cartoons and we all hangout and play! Today with no sleep and the ant situation first thing, I just fed us and laid on the couch! Then the second mess comes about when my son grabbed my daughters juice off the coffee table and spilled the cup all over the table! LOL well the table needed to be cleaned anyways!! Mess number three, my daughter spills the last bit of chips out of the chip bag at lunch time...Did I mention the ants earlier?? So we quickly cleaned that up before those pests made an appearance again! Mess number four.....love my pets do not like their messes either though. My cat also left me a present in the study! YAY! Mess number five while running away to the babies room for a brief few minutes to plug my laptop in and check a couple of things my daughter decided to make some wall art in the living room! That's going to take a bit longer to clean...So finally I thought that was it. I get the kids to bed and I'm just like wow what a weird day?! Because I mean usually I have the normal everyday messes, but never have I spent my whole day cleaning up the most random things! Well after having the kids in bed my husband brought us home some dinner...and guess what! Yep you guessed it I had an accident and dumped my food all over the floor! It was rice and chicken! It was only fit for this crazy day!! LOL usually I don't go on about stuff like this but it's just been so crazy I had to share! My husband and I had a really good laugh at my expense though, and he was sweet to give me what was left of his dinner!! A mommy's job never ends though and I am okay with that!! Messes and all! They might drive me insane in that moment and I might groan about it, but I sit here at the end of the day and relive it in my head and just have to laugh! I wouldn't trade any of it for the world!! This was for sure a day in the life of fuzzy slippers!! I also hope you got a good laugh too because I'm sure everyone can relate to this day! :)

Hello August!!

July finally ended!! Usually I wouldn't celebrate so much, but seriously craziest month of my year I believe! So much happened last month, but I can definitely say I grew as a person. Also some of my relationships grew stronger and other's well just became non existent. So now this new month is here with new possibilities and I'm excited to see what it has for me. My husband's birthday is right around the corner. I have no idea what to get him as usual! Also my son will be 9 months old...A year is coming up tooo fast!! He took is first steps this evening and I was outside doing the laundry, and totally missed it!! :(( Talk about heart broken! My husband was there to see it though, so that was good for him. :)....I still wish I could of seen it! My husband the kids and I went bowling tonight as a family :)..It was a lot of fun especially for my daughter she needs more nights like this in her life :). Actually we all do!! There's nothing like spending time with family and creating those bonds and memories!! It's shaping up to be a good week, and I hope it stays that way. I'm hoping for a good month as well and maybe some peace for a bit! :)


I finally read the third book in the celestra series by Addison Moore! I couldn't put it down. I read it in two days. Would of been one day, but that would of been a little difficult...It was super good and left me wanting more. So now I can not wait for the 4th book to come out! I definitely put this series up there next to twilight! Totally feel like a nerd right now, but I don't care.....So as I wait for the 4th installment I plan on reading The Help next! I saw the book before the previews for the movie started coming out, but haven't had a chance to read it yet because of the series I've been reading! So hopefully it's good and if it is I'll write about it ;)!!

Now I must try and get some rest. Tomorrow is probably going to be a long day for me since my boss has a meeting and I get to run the store tomorrow...Yay! I pray it goes smoothly and nobody complains :)....Always stay optimistic!! Goodnight!
