A Day in the Life of Me

I keep running into the same problem every time I go to the Walmart near our apartment...the Almond Breeze (it's cheaper than Silk fyi), Unsweetened Original Almond Milk is on the top shelf, almost out, and stuck in the back of the fridge. I usually find the tallest person nearby and politely ask them to grab it for me. As I found this problem on my most recent trip to the store I looked both ways and realized I was the only one in the entire isle. I thought for a second, and just after I had given up and started to walk away, I went back, opened the door, stepped up on the frame of the door, and grabbed the last carton. Before I could get both feet back on the ground I hear little Dominic's voice behind me state very matter-of-factly, "That's a no, no." The tall lady walking by let out a discrete chuckle. (Where was she 5 seconds ago?) "Yes, Dominic, it's a no, no to climb on things at the store." I'm sure every mom says this of their two year old, but he is too smart for his own good!

Can I just tell you all, (if anyone is actually reading this), that my life is super crazy? It's crazier than I ever imagined it would be, and I have a pretty creative imagination. Instead of continuing Tyler's education we postponed it to work for Vivint, again. The office we decided to go with picked Alabama as their summer destination. Apparently it is prime door knocking area. Well, the state of Alabama doesn't really want us here so they took their sweet time processing our paperwork to be licensed to work in the state. While we were waiting for it to process we spent seven weeks in Florida hopping from hotel room to hotel room. It was awesome. Honestly, I can't tell you how I made it through alive even though it was only a couple of weeks ago that we left. Oh yeah, I forgot to mention I've been working full-time as the office assistant...yeah.

Now we will spend another two months in Alabama before we move to Colorado for Tyler's school for eight months and then move again to who-knows-where. Or we might move to Colorado for two months, then move to who-knows-where for six months, and then to a different who-knows-where for four months, then back to Colorado for two more months, then to a different who-knows-where. Have I lost you yet? There are probably another two or three more similar scenarios I could type up, but I'm confusing myself...My life is crazy.

ANYWAY, we have been having some fun adventures and I'm sure some day we will look back at all of this and laugh....hopefully?

Update on the kiddos....

Dominic just had his 2nd birthday and he is a riot. Check it out, (the pretty girl is my sister-in-law Madison):

He's always been a talker, but most recently he uses correct grammar and more complicated sentences. Oh, and he learned a week or so ago that "needing" something is more important than "wanting". Now he "needs" everything! He's also always been a challenging child, but it seems that he really perfected the tantrum just in time for his 2nd birthday. This kid is good. I will have to record one sometime. He loves swimming, jumping on/off everything, playing with his new birthday toys, watching annoying cartoons on Netflix, and making his brother laugh.  Mostly, he is really crazy and fun, which we like!

Lincoln just turned 7 months old and is still the complete opposite of Dominic, which we like! Ha, ha, really though, he is darling. He has the biggest smile and is so happy when he isn't hungry or tired :). He just figured out how to jump in his jumper and is loving it. He can finally sit on his own, but I'm not brave enough to leave him without supervision. He went through a phase of saying Mama all the time, but I haven't noticed him saying it a lot recently. He still hasn't said Dada, though!

I will have to post more of the details of our adventures soon, but it is almost 1am. Why am I still awake? It's the only time I have to myself. :)
