WOW! we made it out for a few hours!

I managed to get out this morning with a very good friend of mine, Robin. Her daughter is 1 day older then Dexter and we've been hanging around since the kids were 5 weeks old! She was my savior when we were on mat leave...i don't drive and she couldn't stand to stay home. we had so much fun we did so much stuff, swimming at the YMCA, apple picking, parent and tot sing alongs, not to mention all the walks and trips to the playground and lunches together. when she went back to work I was more upset then she was, and she was leaving her daughter (for 8 hours a day). I proved to Robin today that I don't get out enough. we went to chapters they have a new section for kids that's huge with toys and activities for them. While the kids were off causing mayhem, I got to stroll off to check out the book selection. OMG! they have Handy Manny books and Yo Gabba Gabba books and of course all the Thomas the train stuff you could imagine, but also Chuggington figurines (which I bought 3 for Dex, xmas shopping has official begun!). I was so amazed and Robin looked at me and said matter-of-factly "what they have books about the shows on TV that kids watch!?!?!" I was stupefied, I didn't know what to say...yeah I guess I haven't been out in awhile, LOL! anyways the kids were amazing so we treated them to a McDonald's lunch and a good 20 mins in the play area. now my boys are napping...AAHHHHH! I'm gonna sit back and enjoy my Tim Horton's coffee and relax!

When will we sleep again????

so at 4:15am I hear the quiet creak of a door knob turning, then a tiny voice saying something about "being awake", I promptly get up and put my 2 year old back to bed...3times before 5am when hubby woke up and put him back to bed again...meanwhile my youngest starts crying so here we are. It's 5am everyone's awake and if you're under the age of 3 you were crying. In total, I got out of bed 9 times in 2.5 hours by 6:30 I was like "F@^& it! I guess I'm awake!" I have a headache like I was drinking, and a cranky toddler to make it worse. I don't know what to do with him anymore...where is my perfect little sleeper? (since 2 and 1/2 months old sleeping 12 hours) I need to figure out a way to make him sleep through the night again...it started 2+ months ago....basically once Cleese started sleeping for a good 8 hours solid then Dex would wake up inbetween, so I still don't get a good night's sleep! *yawn*

well it's 8:48pm...

and I believe my boys are asleep...that wasn't an easy task let me tell ya. Dexter as always it's a chase to get him into pj's ( he's not like his mother, I've been in mine since 5:30pm.), then he wanted me to make his bed, filling it with endless amounts of stuffed animals and layer after layer of blankets which he refuses to sleep under. Then it was a fight about the fan, I don't want it he says, then 2 minutes later ( I'm rocking the baby to sleep) mommy I want the fan, mommy I want the door open, a glass of water, the blankets on...Cleese on the other hand can't get out of his bed...thank goodness! so I heard some crying then he settled and right to sleep...but how long until he rolls onto his belly and wakes up mad??? anyways, I have a few minutes to myself (before I pass out) so I think I'll take 'em by watching one of my favorite shows with my hubby: HOUSE...oh wait..where's my hubby? visiting a old friend...guess I may have to reschedule my appointment with Dr. House. :-/

hello there,

Hey, I have a blog about scrapping but I don't have the time to do it anymore. So I thought if I write a blog about my every day life and my boys, then maybe I'd blog more often.
so a bit about me first: I'm 29 have 2 boys aged 2.5 yrs and 5 months. I'm a stay at home mom, have been since day 1. I love to scrapbook (but can't find the time) I love to watch movies (especially zombie ones). I've titled my blog as "pajama wearing momma" because I wear my pj's almost all day, unless I'm going out, I don't do that-anymore.
so today was a decent day, the boys napped and entertained themselves more then usual. I actually got to clean my house. But not all days are "good" days for me/us. My 2 & 1/2 year old isn't sleeping like he used to, bye bye 12 hour nights hello 2am wake ups. My 5 month old isn't sleeping through the full night yet he's dependent on his soother (aka the plug) and he started rolling over last month. He sleeps on his back but wakes up on his belly madder then a hatter. Needless to say it's been 5 long months of "lack of sleep" and I'm starting to notice it's effects. it's almost bedtime for the boys now, so I'll be back...I hope! haha!
