Secrets of a Homemaker

We all have our secrets but homemakers, housewives, whatever you want to call us are sometimes in a league of our own! We have the perception that we sit around and eat bonbons all day, (man I wish that was true) but we are normally very busy raising our little ones and sometimes secrets just come with that terriorty. But today on Growing Up Geeky's Toddle Along Tuesday we are sharing some of those secrets with you. Come along and share with us what you keep from everyone about your daily life ;)

  • Showers have become a luxury and not a routine of everyday! The times that I get to shower when Hubby is home I take loooong showers whether I hear the baby crying or not. I think I deserve it after a long day and I think he deserves to care for a crying baby once in a while.
  • I love that my boys are on the same schedule for nap time! Why is that a confession? Because I don't mind staying up until 11 or 12 with him until he goes to bed at night. I don't mind being exhausted a few days a week from having too many 4 hour nights sleep. I miss going to bed with my hubby but I LOVE having at least an hour to myself in the middle of the day to do whatever I want to do!
  • I spend one day a week busting butt to get the house clean so I can slack off the rest of the week!
  • I love cooking for my family but hate the planning and shopping! I wish that I could hire someone to do that for me :)
  • I repeatedly forget things when I go to change Goose's diaper so I quickly run and get what I need leaving him on the changing table. I'm just glad he has yet to roll himself off but I know that the time is coming that he will or I have to stop leaving him there.
  • I enjoy having PJ days everyday that we stay home and I only change when I get that lucky shower or I get a text saying my hubby is on his way home. I have been known to hear him come in the door and run to the bedroom to change before he gets downstairs :/ Don't tell!
  • I prefer watching children movies & cartoons to regular TV. Well as long as they are age appropriate  I can't stand most of the junk that is on the TV these days. Man, I feel old saying that :)
  • I really hope that God gives us more kids even though Hubby is completely done. I love being pregnant. I love being a mom. And would love to have as many kids as Michelle Duggar. Well maybe not that many but I could handle a few more in our house!
OK it's your turn to share! Get some of those secrets off your chest! I bet you will feel better if you do!

Holiday Traditions?

I'm so excited to be co-hosting with Melissa! I have been a long time reader & finally got around to co-hosting! I can't wait to see all of your holiday traditions & I'm sure add a few to my list too! Holiday Traditions? What are those? I'm not sure we have any set up in our family. We never really had anything that we did every year growing up either. So I'm not surprised that we haven't thought about setting anything up for our kids either. Last year we tried doing the  Three Wise Men Gifts  but I of course bought more than just 3 gifts. So what is the plan this year for holiday traditions in our house? Bass Pro Shop Winter Wonderland to visit Santa Three wise men gifts  One Santa gift plus the stocking Baking cookies at Granny & Great Popa's house Baking cookies at Grandma & Popa's house with cousins & then heading to the local fire department & police station to share with the men & women that keep us safe throug

My Pregnancy Story with Monkey

So I have one of those crazy "I didn't know I was pregnant" stories. Yes I didn't know I was pregnant until I was pretty far along but I will get to that.  In May 2008 we picked up and moved out of state. At this time we had been completely off birth control for 2 years and nothing. We also found out when we first started trying that I have PCOS (polycystic ovarian syndrome)  which basically meant "good luck getting pregnant". We decided that we would start the adoption process if we were not pregnant by the time we were 30 so we had a few years (still do actually! Yeah God!) So we were just enjoying life in Oklahoma and enjoying the small town life. Every Sunday morning we would walk down the street and enjoy breakfast at Selena's, we'd sit on our front porch and talk with the neighbors, and visit family in town at least once a week. Starting close to October I started feeling like something was wrong with me so I went to the OU campus in Tu
