One more story.

Mommy, mommy. I need a drink.
I need more drink.
Mommy! Mommy! I need to pee!!

After Bedtime:
Mommy, will you tell me a story in bed?

5 min. later..

Uh Oh. I have to pee again.
Uh Oh. I forgotta tell you someping. Umm I forget the words.

Uh Oh. It fell off (referring to the blanket).

A Stroller Update - 2 Years Later

Over the past year I have been asked many time and have had friends refer people to me, for finding the perfect stroller for two children.

I had a bit of a stroller obsession and if my oldest (now 3.5) would still enjoy being in the stroller more I would still be obsessed. He will still sit in the stroller for jogging, and Stroller Strides classes, but other then that would rather walk/ run any day.

My last post of of 3 (The Perfect Stroller For Two, Another Stroller Hunt, and Finding The Perfect Stroller For Two Is A Tough Job.)was over 2 years ago. What is still in my collection and what do I think now? Well, I have held onto Phil and Ted Sport with the doubles kit. My kids still fit and ride in it. My oldest actually prefers the back seat. When I am jogging I have him sit in the front though. It is much easier to push with the heavier child in front. I won't lie I did sell my first Phil and Ted Sport.

I purchased the two nicer models.. The Dash and the Vibe and returned both for a new Sport. The braking systems on the nicer models needs to be worked out.

The Dash: to break this stroller you need two hands and have to ratchet the handle bar down. If you have a handle bar console of sorts all of the contents still onto the child in the back seat and let's be honest. Who has two hands to brake a stroller when you are out and about with two children??

The Vibe: to brake this stroller there is a button in the center of the handle bar. If you are steering with one hand you WILL undoubtedly, accidentally, and often hit that button causing the stroller to brake suddenly and giving whiplash to your children. NOT SUPER SAFE in my opinion.

After returning both models, I bought myself a newer Sport version and have used this since. So Phil and Ted has occupied a space in my trunk for going on 3 years. I use it often and have taken it on vacations with us as well.

While my kids are getting bigger and have a need to be in the Stroller during my Stroller Strides classes and again when I am jogging (a fairly new activity for me 2nd year doing Couch to 5K)I decided to move up in the world and go for a monster stroller. I purchased a Bob Duallie Revolution for the second time. If you read in an earlier post. I had bought this and returned it because although the ride was smooth and perfect, the stroller is HUGE and heavy and made me feel like I was pushing a small car in front of me. I have gotten over it. I don't use it indoors and still hate putting it in and out of my car BUT for outdoor use and older children it was well worth the cost (for a second time).

Both of my boys have gotten up and are harassing me, so I will wrap up here, but I have tried most of the strollers on the market until recently.

My 3 favorites for MY life style or an active lifestyle are

Phil and Ted Sport with the double kit
, Bob Duallie Revolution, and
Baby Jogger City Mini (not a jogger stroller at all but great for walking indoor and out and SUPER light weight and easy to manage!)from an earlier post

Good luck on your journey to find the perfect stroller!

I Guess You Could Say I Am Hiding

I went to bed too late as it was. A friend was trying to convince me to get in on her pyramid style business plan with the P90X guy's stuff. With dreams of big dollar signs, she is getting involved but I have no interest. Hope it works for her though, truly.

My husband came to bed even later and literally flopped on in, as if there was no worry of disturbing anyone. He clomped in, fell over sideways and attempted to steal all of the covers. Then he let his foot or knee or some other body part touch me. The whole show got me angry. Why I need to suffer because he stays up late working??? It's true I get pissy in the mornings when he sleeps in EVERY morning for FOR 3.5 YEARS!!! I get up with the kids and he stays in bed until he is good and ready or I go in and throw something at him. What ever comes first. But that time should be a team effort time or at least a time when we alternate who pitches in.

My fully clawed cat, jumped on my chest 3 times, kneading and licking my hair. Nothing about that was comfortable in the middle of the night. Then parked her ass right next to my face. Did I mention I have allergies and she is on that list? Probably not and completely my fault. My last living family cat was run over while I was on vacation. Instead of letting it goes and knowing I would breath better and no longer itch. I freaked out and rescued a cat from a local shelter. One with breathing problems, who is totally Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde . So I will suffer for the remaining 8+ years. No, I won't get rid of her early; she sometimes catches bees, moths and mice INSIDE and she is already 5 or 6.

Then at 5:00 or 5:30 my kids started. "giggle-giggle-quick hide" "Hey, I hiding from the mommy dolphin!" etc...... "Mommy!!!!" " Mommy, My binky" "Helpy!Helpy! Helpy!"

This happened 3 times before I found my self hiding out here in the living room drinking a coffee.

Time to face them, get them changed, make pre-school lunch and off to a run! Have a great morning~!

I Don't Know How You Ladies Do It!

RECENTLY........ WAIT..... WHY IS MY CAPS PERMINANYLY ON? I WILL APOLIGIZE FOR SCREAMING THIS POST NOW. IPOD CAPS IS STAYING ON.. NO IDEA WHY........

SO RECENTLY, I HAD NAILS PUT ON AND THE ADORABLE SHOP OWNER SAT WITH ME WHILE I WAS READING AND WAITING . WE GOT TO TALKING ABOUT WAXING (SHUDDER). I HAVE NEVER WAXED AND WITH THE OVER GROWTH OF MY GARDEN I WOULD BE FAR TOO EMBARRASSED.

IT'S A BIT LIKE WHEN YOU FEEL YOU NEED TO CLEAN YOU HOUSE BEFORE THE CLEANERS COME. I SAY THAT NOT BECAUSE I HAVE A CLEANER BUT BECAUSE I ONCE WAS YOUR CLEANER. OK BACK ON TRACK.

Alright on my puter now that caps issue was bothering me.

So she starts trying to talk me into waxing. All I can think about is how much it will hurt. I get a 'bright' idea. Why don't I use my electric (infomercial) plucker to give myself a head start and have it grow in thinner.

HOLY SH#@!!!! That is all I can say. It hurts like hell. I have swelling, pain and bumps. I am not sure I could ever go through with waxing if I can't even get through plucking.. I have no idea why anyone would willingly do this over and over to them selves.

Maybe because I am Italian.
