Snips, Snails, Puppy Dog Tails and a Messy Kitchen

So. A blog. What are we supposed to do with this again?

Oh yeah. Write.

I love to write. Most of what I say may not make sense to anyone outside my head. But that's alright. At least I have voices to keep me company ;)

I have two boys, and they most definitely are. Boys, that is. Aiden is a (most of the time) quiet, focused, intelligent little man that is learning to get his point across using words. Yay Aiden! Parker is a moving, shaking, climbing, falling, bruising little spitfire that is learning how to listen to Mommy and Daddy. Yay Parker! But they are both boys, through and through.

I'm sort of a home-maker. I dislike most things housework, although I love the way the house looks when it's clean. I wish I could do something once and have it done. I hate re-doing things multiple times over. Those of you with kids know that this is sadly not a possibility. Until they come out with the touch-free child, things move. And fall. And break. And move some more. And hide. You should have seen me looking for the matches today. I actually called my mom six hours away to ask if she remembered where they had been placed on Sunday. Go Mom, I found them while we were on the phone. Used to be she'd have to walk into the room for me to find something, now I guess I just have to call her. Progress.

Anyway, housework. Ick. My favorite part of being a stay-at-home-mom is the mom part. My kids are such a joy. Even when they're giving me gray hair at age 27 (am I really that old?) and pulling kitchen chairs down on themselves, or tipping over the full garbage can and testing out the splatter radius of half a box of cheerios on the dining room floor that I just swept. They're just that great that they can get away with all this stuff. Must be nice. I wish I could get away with half the stuff they do. Of course, if you listen to my mother for any length of time, you'll hear about how some friends and I dumped flour all over her kitchen floor. But we got punished for that :P

Wow, ramble much? Guess this thing might just get some use after all. :)
