Not on the Over-Achiever List

Remember when my blog was new, and I blogged lots?  That was fun.

Today I am blogging about my experience at the library.  I took Izzy and Maya to the library for story time, but there wasn't story time so we just stayed and played.  I dropped them off at the kids spot and went over to the magazine section.  I ended up grabbing O Magazine because they only had People in Spanish.  Seriously?  Spanish?  Then I went back to my kids, plopped down and proceeded to read while they played.  But as I was reading, I noticed something...something that I thought was weird.  There were 4 other moms there with their kids, and they were PLAYING with them.  They were reading books and doing puzzles with their children.  Don't get me wrong, I totally play with my kids all the time.  The thing is, if I wanted to read books to my kids and do puzzles, I would just stay home.  I take them to the library to let them play with the new, fresh toys, so that I can get a break.  I was totally feeling like a bad mom being the only one in the kid section not playing with my kids.  The question is, did  I stop reading and go do puzzles with my kids?  Nope.  Cause they were happy being on their own.  And even though I felt like the other moms were judging me for enjoying my magazine (which they probably weren't), I know that I'm a good mom.  And reading O Magazine every once in a while while my kids play at the library makes me a BETTER mom.

(the one in the background reading all alone, that's me.  Bo-ya! lol)

Day..whatever, What is in your purse?

Okay peeps, this is going to get weird....

Diapers
wipes
pens
checkbook
cough drop
mayas immunization card
a mini dots box
a wipe from when lily got a bloody nose at target
goldfish
cell phone
keys to my car
LOTS of reciepts
wallet
keys to johns car

before i had kids, i didn't even carry a purse.  It's not for me, it's for my kids, so that i always have wipes and diapers on me for the unfortunate public poo-ing.

Sorry I haven't been blogging.  Been having a rough time.  I started the HCG diet which was a huge fail cause it made me feel sick and crappy.   And right now I'm on my 4th day of extreme nausea and buttox cleansing, and I don't know what's causing it.  (tmi)  Def not pg tho.
