It has begun!

It has begun. That's right folks, it may not technically be SUMMER until June 22, but it has been over 100 degrees for too many days already! It's HOT and it is pretty sucky here. Yes, that's right, sucky!
Yesterday was the officially "christening" of the pool (get your minds out of the gutter, people! I'm not taking it there, k?) Anyhoo, the whole family donned our swimsuits and hopped in the pool, some more willingly then others!! It wasn't exactly cold either, floaty thing said it was 85.
The boy child was hesitant about swimming for maybe 5 minutes, but then he was all over jumping in and swimming (with floaties of course, what do you think he is crazy??!) Eldest is a mermaid, so she was all over the place and in heaven as she loves being he mer-self. The munchkin though? Um no thank you "get me the hell out of here!!" was pretty much the place she was in. She did enjoy it in the end, and I'm sure her favorite part was when we got out and I swaddled her in a warm towel!
And so it begins, before we know it the water will be in the upper 90's and suddenly not so refreshing! It is what it is so we must enjoy it now while we can!
What do you do for fun in the summer? Outside of traveling to cooler climates (CALIFORNIA!!!), swimming is all I got! My babies aren't exactly "Movie Theater Friendly" so that is out!
Ok, now for the promise...
I, Patty McMommy does (doth? do?) hereby promise that for my next post... are you ready for this?... I WILL do it... I WILL post photos!!!!! Gotta keep ya comin back for more!!!!
Until next time....

Anotha day anotha dolla!

Monday, sucky Monday!  (think U2 song, but with my cool words!)

So here we are, another Monday, back to work, back to the GRIND!  Should have went to the Dr. today since I can hardly breath!  Don't get me wrong, it's not like I have SWINE flu or anything, I actually FEEL GREAT, I just feel like my lungs are full-o-crap and I can't breath!  Is this what it feels like to smoke??  Just curious cuz if so I just don't see the appeal!  Oh well!

So, my babies??!!!! As soon as I get a chance to figure out this whole BLOG thing I will post pictures and videos and the whole shebang, but until then you just get my ewey gooey stories!    So I am thinking that I FINALLY have this whole thing figured out.  There is a method to who is going to be a turd at night time!  I have a 1 year old, 3 year old and 9 year old.  The 9 year old is actually an amazing helper (that's right, this one is a GIRL!), but when I get the munchkins down at 7pm, GUARANTEED one of the toddlers will fight sleep and make me go in there as often as they can.  Back to my theory... either the toddlers draw straws to decide who will be the turd, or more likely they play their version of "paper/rock/scissors"?!  Huh?  This sounds like what must be happening because ONE of them has to play the role of Turd each night! 

Now about my oldest...My lovely 9 year old helped me make a WONDERFUL pineapple upside down cake last night and it was very pleasant cooking with her!  She is right at the age where she starts getting this pre-teen attitude, ay dios mio it pisses me off!  But when she loses the attitude, what a wonderful time we share!  My goal for "us" is that we don't butt heads too much in the upcoming years!  

Ok, my first post, probably terribly boring, but really please let me know what you think!!!  I'm also on twitter @1mcmommy, tweet me and let me know if I should keep blogging or close up shop!!  Be kind though, k?  Goodnight my friends, until we meet again....
