Hello all. Nothing like a little Random Thoughts Thursday to bring me back to the blogging community.

I haven't been blogging much recently because it's baseball season. Those that know me well know what this means for our family and they also know I'm apt to complain about it at the drop of a hat. (Seriously, somewhere my friends are covering their ears saying, "Shut up about your difficult life for heaven's sake!" I mean, honestly, I'm getting annoyed with myself. A friend can't say so much as, "Ow. I have a hang nail." without me saying, "Oh yeah! Talk to me when you've been by yourself all day every day with two small children that insist on being fed and talked to ALL DAY!") All that to say, I'm somewhat single momming it these days and I am Egg.Sauce.Ted.

Please don't hate on me, but I haven't done The Shred in 6 days. I promise to start back tomorrow. Never mind that I've said that for the past 5 days.

Tomorrow night I have plans to go to dinner and shopping with a dear friend. And no children. It is almost embarrassing how much I am looking forward to this. Like, I could almost cry when I think about how wonderful it will be. Not even lying when I say that. She has promised to not try and get in and out of a stroller, crawl under the dressing rooms or hide in the clothes rack. I really can't ask much more than that. Also, it will be wonderful to have a meal out in which I don't have to say, "I swear, if you don't turn around and quit touching that man's head in the booth behind us, you will go sit in the car and eat!"

Best. Post. Ever. People who don't stay home with 2+ kids just don't get it. We don't choose to not shower or to yell strange things in public ("Stop touching strangers on the bottom with your head!"). Those choices are made for us by these little precious people who act like drunk terrorists (they fall down a lot and hurt themselves all while trying to destroy everything around them, think about it). We're going to my parents this weekend. "For Easter" you might ask? Oh yeah that too. Mostly because mom said we could go out sans little boys Saturday. Enjoy your outing tonight. ;)

Oh Emily, I totally commiserate with you. Dean has been working 15 hour days for the last 3 weeks. He's been home for dinner like twice. Then when he comes home he has to do more work at home. Then he's on call on the weekend and has to drive in to the hospital multiple times. Bleh. I'm exhausted. I'm so exhausted by bath time at the end of the day, and it's the most tiring part!!! You can complain to me any time. I'll listen and nod and complain right back. I was supposed to get some relief today when my MIL came over; she got some kind of eye infection and didn't want to give it to the kids. I wanted to cry when I found out. Stay strong mommy.
