HouseWork
How many of us can truly say they LOVE housework? I'm pretty good about my housework. I clean it and it stays that way for a whole 9.5 seconds. I have clutter that I want to go through, but if I touch it without my husband knowing, I WILL THROW AWAY SOMETHING IMPORTANT. Direct quote from my husband. If any of you have had this problem, you understand.
My husband is deployed right now. I still clean, but not like I would if he was home. I fold clothes, but they stay in the basket, I do the dishes the next morning. I pick up the toys and dirty clothes the next day as well. I don't mop as much(even though I should.) But my house is still clean.
I heard this woman before. Well read, where she said she straightens up, but she puts a bowl of pinesol somewhere hidden so her husband thinks she did more than she really did. I tried do that. My 2 year old was lemony fresh, even after his bath.
My least favorite housework is the folding. I can start the washer and even switch them over with no problem! Its just the the folding. UGH the folding. And most of my clothes are hung up. Not hard, but it is. I rather just clean my house and keep the kids busy all day outside so it won't get messy again, but thats impossible. Even though my kids drive me insane with the begging and makes me feel like I am a prisoner because of the PLEASE PLEASE I WILL BE GOOD, they want to come in after 5 minutes of play time outside.
I always said I CAN'T WAIT UNTIL MY KIDS GET OLDER TO DO THE HOUSEWORK. Its a famous quote that has been around, but in all actuality, I don't want them to help. They might make it worse or turn all our whites pink or whatever color. You can teach separate the clothes, but doesn't mean they will listen.
I have found some interesting ways to get them to help clean, along with some I made up. I will make a blog under ~*~Crafty~*~ for these items. So keep an eye! In the meantime, what are your ways of cleaning? Worst chore? Do your kids help? How do you get them to help? I will check back for ideas!!

Child Training :)
I have 3 kids. A 5 year old, a 3 year old, and a 2 year old. The oldest 2 are girls and my youngest is a boy. My oldest is into the whole JUSTIN BEIBER fad. Its better than most singers nowadays. Wearing clothes that my 3 yr old can fit, the lyrics are about money, sex, drinking and partying. But she is in love with him. And I realized, this boy liking will only get worse with age. She is already into makeup, dresses, modeling. She is 5 going on 16. What happened to my little girl? I want her to stay little, no care in the world, not liking boys. She will be in kindergarten this coming up school year. She was already in kindergarten, but she isn't mentally ready for 1st grade. Socially, maybe, but she still has some learning. So I am wanting to make it where she won't struggle too bad in 1st grade.
My 3 year old is another story. She was born with a delay, but it's something that with extra help she can overcome it and she is. She is talking so much better. She is also very emotional. She can't even poop in the toilet without freaking out. So, potty training her to poop in the toilet is a challenge all in itself. She is shy, but once you get to know her, she is all over you. Wanting to play, wanting to cuddle. She is my lovable ladybug!
My son(2) is so different. He is a bully. He will want to fight, bite, pull hair, step on you, sit on you, anything that can cause pain. He is also very loving and cuddly. He is the sweetest I have met. His vocabulary is great!! He is now learning his shapes, and counting.
So my question, what are your fears of you child(ren) growing up? If your child was a biter, how did you break him? And the pooping in the toilet, any suggestions!?
PRIVACY
We as mothers want our privacy even more now that we have kids. We all love our kids and would do anything for them, but a little quiet privacy time is needed. What brought up this topic, is my friend made a post about how she can't pee without her kids being there. And I laughed because its like as soon as I shut the door here comes my little monsters knocking, opening, and shouting. I remember one time, my son just woke up from a nap and he is really clingy most of the time. I told him I would be back I had to go potty. He would not let go of my neck. So, because of this I was forced to take him to the bathroom with me. No, big deal. I sit him down and I sit on the potty. He starts flipping out. I can't calm him down!! The whole time I'm thinking OMG HURRY UP AND PEE SO I CAN GET HIM TO STOP!! Nothing was happening(as in I couldn't pee) So, I had to hold him while I sat on the toilet and he calmed down. That was so hard. I also remember another time when I went to a public bathroom and I was peeing and my 3 year old farted. She yells EW MOM YOU FART YOU STINK! And there was at least 5 people in the stalls and like 10 waiting. You best believe I sat in the stall until everyone left. It was a horrible disasterous moment for me. I thought I even heard some giggling. And its just not the bathroom either.
Imagine you are in the store, you walk down the candy isle to diapers or wipes or whatever, until, there it is. It is staring at you, BUY ME you hear it say. Its your favorite candy(almond joy for me). So you buy it. Thinking IM GOING TO ENJOY THIS!! You get home and here comes the kids full speed wanting a bite! Even though they have their own snacks, they want what mommy has. You sigh and tear off pieces for them. You are left with a measly crumb. I find myself huffing down my candy bar before I even pull up into my house. I want to enjoy a taste of freedom without sharing. Yes, I can be greedy!
As I sit here typing this, I am sitting in my husbands recliner. I have my 5 year old laying on the footrest, so I cant stretch my legs. I have my 3 year old sitting next to me, legs over mine, taking up more than half the space, and my 2 yr old fighting my 5 year old on space.
We all knew some things would change having a baby, if not all things, but privacy I WANT MY PRIVACY BACK! I want to take a nice hot bubble bath without kids coming in MOM HE HIT ME, MAMA THEY WONT SHARE, MOM and whatever jibberish comes fromy my 2 year old.

STATUS consideration
Ok so tonight I will be discussing something about facebook and statuses. I know a person who is having fertility problems. Now someone in her family made a status and it hurt her feelings and made me mad. The status said WTH WAS I THINKIN GETTING PREGNANT AGAIN? Now I know what most will say THAT IS HER FACEBOOK SHE CAN POST WHAT SHE WANTS. True, but there is a little something called respect and consideration of others. I stood up for this person and I got jumped on for sticking up for this person. So, what is everyone's opinion on this?
Should a person be considerate of family and/or friends when making facebook statuses? I believe they should. Your status can be taken many different ways.
And while on the subject, when one person makes this kind of status, should a person comment to stand up for somebody else or just ignore it? I stood up because it hurt my feelings to have this person hurt.
Also, along with this topic, when you give you comment/opinion other people jump in and instantly start cussing, threatening, and telling you to back off. You used CAPS LOCK on me? YOU DID NOT USE THE CAPS LOCK BUTTON ON ME! I SEE YOUR CAPS LOCK AND RAISE YOU SOMETHING WITH GRAMMATICAL ERRORS. Really? Should I be afraid of caps lock? Its not that threatening!! Can a person argue or disagree without cussing, name callling and threats? Or is it that the parents of our generation so lazy and trying so hard to be their child's friend that they allow their kids to disrespect others and act all wild. Once you have a child shouldn't you grow up? Stop the threats, stop the name calling. Well thats all I have for tonight. Comments thoughts?

Army stereo types
I am an army wife. We have lived in 3 different states since 2006. We have been through 2 deployments(he is now on his 3rd) since 2006. We have 3 beautiful children. I always hear something negative about army wives. Its not about 1 or 2 or 5 its about all army wives, or military spouses in general. We cheat, spend all the money, don't take care of anything or anyone but ourselves. I'm here to vouch for myself and the spouses I do know. We don't blow the money, yes I like to buy things to decorate the house with, new clothes for the kids if they need them(but I still shop at goodwill), new toys if they behave. I don't cheat. I love my husband dearly. We have one of the best relationships out there. I take care of my kids. I love my kids. They are my life and my rock during deployments. Now, there are military spouses that do cheat, spend, and ignore everyone. But there are spouses that are married to civilians and do those things. But us spouses get the negativity because for 1 our spouses are deployed, and for 2 because most military spouses are that way. But not all.
The other thing I want to touch base on is kids. Our kids. Now I know single moms take care of kids all by themselves. And I applaud them, but they live next to family. Or close to family. My family lives far away from me. I have to call 2 weeks ahead to schedule for my kids to be in daycare if I have a doctor's appt, or a dentist appt. If I don't get them in daycare I must reschedule and try again. I can't just call my family and say hey I need you to watch the kids please. I also am worrying about my husband being in a war zone. So ontop of my concerns and medical problems(if any) or the kids health, I am also thinking will my husband call me? Will he get online? If he doesn't, is he safe, alive, what?
So please next time, think before you judge. Oh and the other thing, the worst comment you can ever say to a spouse is MY SIGNIFICANT OTHER SHOULD JOIN THE MILITARY BECAUSE THEY ARE NEVER HOME ANYWAYS. That comment should be banned from all of America. I want to slap someone everytime I hear that. So, ask yourself the next time you want to say that comment, DO I WANT TO BE BITCH SLAPPED ALL OVER TOWN? Yea I said it. So what?! That is my whiny bit for today!!

First Night
My first post...Hmm...I thought of a bunch of different topics I wanted to start off with. Talk about my life, talk about drama going on, or whats on the news. But, I don't watch the news. Don't like to watch it when my husband is deployed, I am so sick of talking about drama. HE IS THE BABY DADDY. OH NO YOU DIDN'T. I mean really it all gets tired after a while. And I LOVE LOVE LOVE to talk about myself, but after a while I get tired of hearing about myself since I am living my life. So, I think I will start off with whoever posts first. And go from there. I think tomorrow night's blog will be one of the above topics, but tonight I want readers thoughts. So.... WHAT DO YOU WANT TO WHINE ABOUT?
