Dinner Making Madness at it's finest!

I was just beginning my normal routine of dinner, wait did I say "normal"? Is there a normal? No not really... and here's why... 

1. Children are born with an ability to "sense" when mommy has something important to do. 

2. Children (at least MY children) ABUSE this ability! 

How do they abuse it? Let me share with you two things that happened in a matter of about 20 minutes while prepping for dinner... And by prepping I mean it seriously began when I simply had the thought, 'I'm going to make something really nice for Justin for dinner to make up for my bad attitude while painting Brigham's room last night' haha Because minutes after that moment I heard Emery say, "My pooped mommy!" When I smelled the poop I knew I was in for a real treat! 

It {the poop} was smeared all over the bathroom sink, THANKFULLY she chose the bathroom for her crime! AND not only was there poop everywhere but the sink was on and overflowing with a mixture of water, poop and spf 30 sunscreen... I couldn't get mad because the moment I saw it all Emery says, "I need you to change my diaper mommy"as clear as day, there was no other response than "I think you are right." And really, I just felt proud at how well she communicated her needs to me. haha!

Well... I was determined to make dinner today {I had been planning on trying something knew for about 2 weeks now so I decided that today was the day} Several moments after the poop incident I was able to progress to finding the recipe on my pinterest board (I know, REALLY making progress here!) As I'm searching through my pinterest bo-- Oh! Look at that cute cupcake, I should make those for Emery's class when she's in Elementary school! {Anybody else have this problem? ;) haha} So I am going through my pinterest board "Fooooood" when I heard it...the sound of hundreds of "fishings" falling to the ground. I chose to ignore it because, well, what else am I going to do? I actually had the thought, "Oh good, they found something to do." What is wrong with me?! hahaha I guess I decided it would be worth the time cleaning up the fishies if I could just get the chicken unthawed!!! 

Ok so those are just TWO of the moments I experienced today... there are countless others! It was during those moments that I had a blog idea... I would write some of the experiences I'm having as a mom, and the things I'm learning. I've already wanted to do this in journal form but my handwriting frustrates me and I'm always getting ink on my hand because I'm left handed (who understands me on that one?!) And so it was born, My Name Is Mommy. (except it's spelled mommie because the "y" version was already taken. ;) haha) My name IS mommy, it's also Ann, but the most important part of me, the most wonderful part of who I am is Mommy. And I'm so proud to say it.
