Down and dirty. Is that kinda like short and sweet? Because if it is, that’s what I mean and if it’s not just ignore me.
Hold me.
I’m scared.
Today. Friday (if this automatic posting doo-dad works) is Carter’s third birthday. I wasn’t weepy about past birthdays but I think with Hudson’s arrival this year is different and I’m sad that he’s three. Really sad.
My boys.
Maybe I’ll have more about that later, not right now. I can’t.
I’m too fuckin’ scared for my life.
While you’re reading this (if the automatic posting worked correctly) I am packed into a trolley-type-bus with about 120 children ranging in age from 2 - 6 and some parents. We’re probably baking in the hot hot sun and endured a couple of meltdowns already.
Pray for me.
Carter’s daycare has a field trip to this makeshift safari type place where baboons rip the trim off your car and eat your windshield wipers while smearing their ass across your windshield and there’s not a damn thing you can do about it.
I thought it would be nice to volunteer since it’s his birthday and all.
Send. Booze.
Copious amounts.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY AS A MOMMY!!
The birthday of your first is a big deal. You’ve been doing this for THREE YEARS - and I bet you are 100 times better at it than you ever knew you could be.

Happy Birthday Carter!
I have a hard time writing the right words on birthday’s. I’m going to try REALLY hard this year, it’s my son’s fifth.

OMG. One of the worst days of my life was spent on a school bus with a bunch of 2nd graders.
May the force be with you.
I agree with Britt, it’s a celebration for you, too. Happy birthday to you both!

Thanks for the comments everyone! I was really emotional all day today just looking at my boy. Missing HIS baby stages so bad! Hudson was also very, very well behaved!
Ya to automatic posting for working!
Today was crazy hot and super busy. Carter was a gem. He was so well behaved I didn’t even know he was my child. Other children? Well, I hate other people’s kids.

Wow. Happy birthday, kiddo, and mama, I hope you had some booze in stock for the evening. If not in a hip flask on the bus.

I feel for you! My oldest is going into fourth grade tomorrow and today I was looking at some old baby pictures of him and things he made for me in pre-school….I was so sad! I keep grabbing him and hugging him and he is starting to not want to walk into the same room for fear of another love attack!
Great blog, I’ve bookmarked and will be back often!

Oh MAN. You *volunteered* ???
I told my husband I wasn’t volunteering for a damn thing until my kids were old enough to remember it when they were THIRTY (or older) - if they’re too young to remember later, I can’t use it as leverage and it becomes *not worth it*
You are a better mommy than I am. Hugely. I respect you for that.
