It's a heartbreaker.

As an adult, when I think of a broken heart, I think of some lost love. Maybe even puppy love. I know there are lots of uses for the phrase "...breaking my heart."

Here are a couple of ways that the Notorious MRA has been using the phrase lately:

"Mama, I don't wanna eat that. Eating                breaks my heart."

"Mama, when we have to come inside, it breaks my heart. My heart just feels so so sad."

and,

"Mama, when you make me go to my room, it breaks my heart. It really breaks it, Mama." (To which I would like to respond, "Oh yeah? Well, it breaks my heart when you sucker punch your two year old brother because he walked by you. That breaks my heart, buddy."

On a positive note, although I am unsure where he picked up the phrase, I am glad he is applying it some what correctly.

HEADLINE - ARCTIC BLAST REACHES FLORIDA

This is really a post so all my friends and family north of us who are enduring temperatures below 10 degrees F. can laugh but....

Yesterday, I received an email from the kids school reminding us that it would be very very cold and we needed to bundle our children up so that they can still have their outside playtime.

And true to the weatherman's word, the arctic blast has reached us. It was 37 degrees when I got out of my car to walk into work.

Sadly, we are not bundle-ready. This is the best I could do:

 

He was pretty excited about the mittens but not very happy about adding a jacket over the ensemble. Can't say I blame him.

 

I, however, got to wear my furry, leopard print hat. That makes me happy!

 

Stay warm everyone!!!

Happy New Year!

My husband just unexpectedly became a guest blogger and provided the content for the first blog of 2014.

I just received the following email from him. I think this may give me high hopes of the year to come!

"MRA and ASA had their squabbles this AM as usual. Being that I’m still recovering from the sleep deprivation from the past week, I tell both of them to go to their rooms. They both do while I’m finishing getting ready. When I go up to get them, I open MRA’s door 1st, and not only is he playing quietly, but he’s also both gotten himself dressed and cleaned-up his room (which he quickly told me about). It was one of the more proud moments that I’ve had of him."

Wishing you all much hope in 2014!

Merry Christmas!

I hope everyone had an amazing Christmas. Ours was wonderful and low key and fun with lots of quality time together. Yesterday we had a playdate with Chubalicious' best friend Colten. They had a blast.

 

MRA in notorious fashion, ran his car over our friends landscaping and spun his tires while stuck on a rock then he ran ovr my foot. He can't wait to go back. I can.
