My new life

I discovered a new talent I possess today...I can wipe a 3yr old butt as I stop a 20 month old from unrolling a whole roll of toilet paper while I am breastfeeding a 2month old. I believe this is super hero powers.
I also discovered that it is a bad idea to set the little ones up with playdoh so I could get some things done. This just ended with me having more things to do. Holy Mess!
I am embracing my new role as full time mom and very part time hair stylist. I will admit that I am not as organized as I would like to be and days go by quickly. Just to make sure I don't get bored I thought I should add a puppy to the mix. We picked our new dog very scientifically though. We put Violet down on the ground and whichever puppy didn't eat her was the one we chose. Seriously, we actually picked the scruffiest one in the bunch but he is a good fit. He takes the abuse well from the kids and he even now is barking at Joey's icecream. Everyone that lives here loves icecream so he must have been made for us, He may pee in the house forever since I really don't have time  to train a dog but what the hell... nothing else in this house is very well trained. Joey named the dog. Of course his name is Dallas. I have caught a lot of crap over letting him name our black dog (who should obviously be named Raven). However I have to say that he lives with 5 women now as well as a cat named Cupcake and we did get a cock a poo which isn't so manly so I thought he deserved something.
I will add that now that our clan has grown to number 6 people no longer are asking If I am done. The question now is "when is the next one?" Really.. how about just "Congrats on the new baby!"
On a sad note.. May my dear grandfather rest in peace until one day when I see him again. He was the only father I ever knew as a child and I couldn't have asked for a better one. Earl the Pearl was one of a kind!

Say what?

If you believe that one day you will be reunited with your loved ones in heaven it can be comforting in your time of loss. I believe in this wholeheartedly. I also believe you will be reunited with people you hoped to never see again. Everything has a down side. I hope you get to choose who you sit next to up there.
Treat others as you would like to be treated.... We all say this to our kids. It is a principal we like to think we live by but  a lot of times all of us suck at this.  Well I take it literally and lets just say if I don't speak to you or acknowledge you that is exactly how I want to be treated in return. 
Blood is thicker than water.. This is just plain bulllshit. I don't think I need to elaborate. This is definately not a saying that I will be teaching my children.
I guess we all have a choice in how we live our lives. I have done things I am not so proud of  and made plenty of bad choices. I think it is all about learning from it to be a better person. This leads to the saying.. Live with no regrets..If only that were true!
The sayings do believe in is.. Until you walk a mile in my shoes... and also...Opinions are like assholes....( I know a few of those)
Go O's...Love to Earl...a truly wonderful, selfless man who I thank for all the things he gave me in life and taught me. I am thankful I had this time with him and wish I had not complained so much about how hard it was because losing him is much harder.
