While watching a nature documentary, they stated that elephant seals spend all of their time "fighting and fornicating."
"Daddy," Jacob said. "What does fornicating mean?"
No pause. "It means fortifying, you know, like he is guarding his perimeter." Mr. B said this quickly and matter of factly.
So just for future reference in a play date, Jacob's language is not his fault, you can blame Mr. B.
*Also, this is one of the many reasons I hate nature documentaries.

Vacation- or as I found out- a "trip with the kids"
We just went away to Lake Michigan for a few days for "Vacation". It's in parenthesis because it was anything but relaxing. Traveling with a toddler is hard. Traveling with OUR toddler, this particular toddler is excruciating. I am exhausted. It's going to take a few days to recover. The last day of our trip we went to Michigan's Adventure and it was crowded, COLD, rainy. Never again on a Saturday, y'all. It started rainy right after we got there and I just wanted to turn around and leave. The (older) boys had a blast, though. I may have cried a little at the end, because I felt so stressed and overwhelmed by my youngest.
Still, we got to bond with my Sister's family, and that was FUN. Watching Matthew discover Lake Michigan was FUN. Even the rainy day with all the card playing was fun, even if not so much for the children. (Thank goodness we had a do-over day planned for an upcoming weekend.)
And this:
Makes it all worth it. Until next year, Pentwater.

Just so you know...
Jacob picked the pink cup for dinner. Drew looked at him sideways, like- really? a pink cup? and Jacob looked right at him and said "so? Pink is the new Khaki."
I so love that kid.
I so love that kid.

Complete
I've always scoffed at the idea of a family being complete. Everyone says that as a way to justify their means, right? I never felt that feeling of complete after Jacob, our second child was born, I always had longing and wonder. I assumed it was because I was longing for a girl.
So we decided to try again, even though I was scared about having 3 babies, and I felt so selfish and irresponsible for bringing another being into this world when I wasn't sure I was a good enough parent for two beings already. I also felt guilty about breaking with the status quo. Having two children is "just right" in the eyes of many, while three seems excessive to others. The looks that I received when I was pregnant and people found out I was a having a third boy were not very reassuring, either.
The pregnancy was the toughest of all three and I thanked my lucky stars when I was done with that process (seriously, I smiled through labor, even BEFORE the epidural) and I had a healthy baby boy. Still, I worried about the affect this baby boy would have on my other boys.
I was pleasantly surprised to see that instead of resentment on their part, there was so much love.
Ten months later, this love is still there, and you know what? Today I am making it official: I feel our family is, in fact, complete. Matthew was always meant to be here, and now our family feels finished. This was right for us, for our family. The picture is complete, and it really is amazing the difference I feel. Now I don't even pay mind to what others think. Dang I'm lucky.

Thankful
Everyone is doing this 30 days of thankfulness thing on Facebook, and I decided to do it on my blog. I know I'm a little far into the month, but honestly this is the longest Matthew has napped in a while, and I got a lot of my chores done.
I'm going to do these in video form. It should catch everyone up on the past 4 (!) months.

Beginnings, Endings, and In-Between Things
So this week is the last week of school, FINALLY. It seems like the kids were going to be in school forever, or at least that's how they made it sound.
I will have a 2nd grader, a Begindergartner (yes, we are delaying Kindergarten for a year. Jacob has the academic and social skills of a Kindergartner, but his focus and emotional skills need some fine tuning before taking an all day Kindergarten plunge. Luckily Begindergarten is all day. I am so happy that I will get some alone time with the baby... in 3 months.)
Battlestix is still chilling in my belly. I am 37 1/2 wks. I am feeling pressure from everyone to get the babeh out! as to not ruin their entire summer. As if I have a choice! I am so ready. Also: I am not ready at all! I don't want to go through labor, and mostly the aftermath! Wah! What was I thinking? I feel like this is my first baby, I feel nervous like it is. With the second, it had only been 3 years, it's been almost 5 with this one. Wish me happy easy soon labor fairy dust, please.

Slacker
I'm a bum. I admit it, I've been preoccupied and too lazy to post. I didn't even post for Jacob's Birthday! (Hangs head in shame.) I've just been tired and BUSY. Since I can't seem to post any real entries, here is a list post about what we've been up to, because I love lists (and they're easier-again, LAZY).
1. 4 is a good age. Definite improvements in my little guy has made days with him fun again!
2. The boys are playing so nicely together, it's awesome. Probably due to #1.
3. The dog is driving me up the wall. Seriously, he needs to be entertained constantly. It's very annoying.
4. Trying to get the house ready to sell.
5. Busy trying to get Christmas all taken care of. The decorations are up, some gifts, bought, cards ordered, so we are getting there. I make Christmas cookies in the second half, so I need all my time for that.
6. Trying to keep Drew, who is 6 1/2, to believe in Santa Claus. It's getting really dicey, he keeps asking very sensible questions. My favorite was "I don't know if Santa Claus is real. I don't think he would come down the chimney, ours is so dirty."
7. Trying to remember to move our Elf each day. Remembering is hard, yo.
Uh... that's all I have for the moment.... More to come, I promise!

Stressimessiness
So, I know I have been gone a while. It's been a crazy couple of weeks and I have been so wrapped up in the stressimessiness (my new word) of it for a while, it's been hard to see anything else. To start:
I'm officially unemployed, and now am a stay at home mom, unless by some miracle I find a job that's flexible and pays me as much or more as my last job.
I'm trying (rather unsuccessfully) to work on our house in the hopes that we can sell it next year. So far I have gotten nothing done because-
Jacob is not reacting well to all of these changes and to being a 3 year old in general.
He is driving. me. slowly. insane. I cannot take any more. What have I gotten myself into? I have talked to his teachers, and seen him around others, and it seems that I am getting the worst treatment.
He doesn't listen to me at all and he doesn't care. He's faced every kind of consequence a little boy could face, and it doesn't matter to him. It's awful, it's time-consuming, and it's tearing me apart.
Most of the time, while I may love him, I don't like him, not even a little bit, right now. I feel terrible about this. Also- there are these moments when he is still so sweet and they make everything else seem that much worse.
Where's my little guy? I miss him so much. he's been tough for a while now, but this is ridiculous. Drew was tough at 3 and turned into this amazing, caring little guy at 4, and I am hoping Jacob does the same. His 4th birthday is only 4 days away. Let's keep our fingers crossed, shall we?
Also, any suggestions would be very welcome right now.

Not worth the fight
Jacob decided he did not need a booster seat for the booth at the restaurant last night.
Drew wore just jean shorts and slippers to bed (the house was 80 degrees).
Jacob wanted cheez-its for a snack immediately following breakfast this morning.
We went to the library yesterday and my 3 year old son Jacob picked out Ben 10- Alien Force as the book he wanted to check out. Drew asked me why I let Jacob check out a book that was obviously too old for him.
"Because, honey," I told him. "Some things aren't worth arguing over."
After all, that night Drew wanted to stay up past 10pm to watch a show and Jacob wanted to jump headfirst off of the couch. Those decisions did merit a discussion.
What do you let your kids do because it's not worth an argument? Share it with me. I also let them have chocolate milk when we go out to eat sometimes (the horror).

Thinking of Springing
I've been working on decluttering... our house, my life, my feelings. I'm hoping for a fresh start. People have been asking me if this month has been easier than last month. The answer is yes and no. The past two months have been scary and hard, but I'm confident that one day I will feel like a grown up and be ready to tackle all of my problems..... er, right? With my job more than likely ending, I am at a crossroads and want to make the correct decisions. Lately I've been feeling like I've made some bad ones in the past that I cannot escape. Someone give me a cheat sheet (or a crystal ball), I need the answers!
On a more humorous note:
This family is so ready for spring and ready to be uncooped from our house. It has become a jungle gym in here.

I am also celebrating spring by trying to declutter myself as well. So far 9 pounds down. Unfortunately this only takes care of the "stress eating" that took place this Winter. I am hoping to drop at least 20 more pounds, hopefully by my birthday in mid-May, wish me luck!

The Most Important Resolution
I really enjoyed spending time with my boys this weekend. I loved the pirate fort, the sledding trip and the cuddle time.I loved it so much that I realized something important this weekend. I feel like sometimes I am so wrapped up in myself: my stress, my job, my obligations, that I miss out on things with my children. I often miss out on the ability to enjoy my life and can only concentrate on trudging through.
I'm not sure how to resolve this, but I am hoping that I can spend more time enjoying my family and less time in my head, worrying. I have the best family, and wonderful children. I need to savor every moment when they are this age. I need to be present for this time. Yes, they are crazy and they run and yell and cry a lot, but they will only be this age right now, and I want to savor every giggle, eyelash, hug and kiss, silly story, fight, and tantrum. How could I miss moments like this, drowning in my own thoughts?

There will always be stress in my life, but one day the boys won't always be little, and I will never get these moments back. I resolve to live in the present with my family. To get out of my thoughts and live in the now. It's the most important resolution I can make. I love my guys.

Christmas Card Calamities
There are no words for the experience of trying to take my annual Christmas Picture by the Christmas tree, or should I say the three experiences... because the first two times I had no success. The third time I had a little success, enough for me to call it a day!

My Dinner Tonight: A Screenplay
Guess Who's Not Eating Dinner
photo © 2004 Josh | more info (via: Wylio)
Cast of Characters:
Janna: a 30-something harried Mom of two boys, Jacob and Drew
Mr. B: a 30-something Dad of two boys, Jacob and Drew.
Jacob: 3 year old boy. Loves to push buttons. Has an adorable pouty face. Is shirtless to avoid spaghetti stains.
Drew: 5 year old boy, going on 13. Loves to be dramatic. Has been known to be called "The drama king" at times. Is shirtless to avoid spaghetti stains.
Janna finishes putting the last bowl on the table. Dinner! Go potty and wash your hands.
Drew, giggling, runs past Janna. Jacob follows Drew.
Janna: After 5 minutes of running. Come on boys. Go potty and wash your hands now.
Drew: I need to poop! Can I go poop?
Janna: Sighs. Yes.
Mr. B, Jacob and Janna sit down after washing their hands.
Jacob: Spaghetti! Yum! Yum! Makes panting noises.
Janna: Okay, go ahead and eat, Jacob.
Drew sits down at the dinner table. What's in this?
Janna: Food.
Drew: What kind of food?
Janna: Good food.
Mr. B: What does he want to know?
Janna: He wants to know what's in the spaghetti.
Mr. B: It's pasta and spaghetti sauce. Just eat.
Jacob looks at Janna, mumbles something that sounds like Just give me the cheese, bitch.
Janna: Did he just say what I think he said?
Mr. B: No, we must have misheard him.
Janna: Jacob, how do you say that nicely?
Jacob: Please can I have the cheese?
Janna: Here you go. Passes the Parmesan cheese. Drew, why haven't you eaten any spaghetti?
Drew: Because I am soooo cold! Brrrr.....
Janna: Drew, it's 72 degrees in here, it's not cold. Eat your food.
Drew shakes uncontrollably. Drew: I can't. It's just sooo cold. Chatters his teeth.
Mr. B: To Janna Just ignore him.
Janna: To Mr. B I can't help but want to L-A-U-G-H, he's being so ridiculous.
Drew: I can't t-t-take it, I am sooo cold.
Jacob starts singing at the top of his lungs Jacob: DO DO DEE DO DO DO.
Janna: Jacob, sing in an indoor voice.
Mr. B: Drew, eat two bites and then put on a shirt.
Drew: Nods his head, says in an annoyed voice O-kay!
Jacob: Pouts. Mommy, you make me sad when you tell me to stop singing.
Janna: I'm sorry Jacob, but we are eating dinner, and we need to use indoor voices when we eat dinner.
Drew: I ate my two bites.
Janna: Really?
Drew: Reall-y!
Janna: Okay, go put on a shirt. Jacob eat some food. Drew leaves the table to put on a shirt.
Jacob: I'm not hungry. I want to play with my trains. I like my trains. Bitch Bitch Bitch.
Janna: Pauses.
Mr. B: Jacob that's a bad word. We don't use that word.
Janna: Jacob, what do you think that word means?
Jacob: It means I'm sad because you said to not use that word and I just want to play with trains. Looks nervous. I said airplane. That's what I said, airplane. Pouts.
Mr. B: He doesn't know what that means.
Janna: It does mean that he called me a ____ earlier.
Mr. B: Yeah, but he doesn't know what it means.
Janna: What I don't get is we never use that word. I mean other swear words I could see.
Mr. B: I know, it is weird.
Drew sits down at the table and begins to elaborately tuck in a napkin into his shirt, for 5 minutes.
Mr. B: I think you got it Drew. Just eat now.
Drew: O- KAY!
Janna: I'm done. Stands up. I have to go and blog about this now.

Missing
photo © 2007 rachaelvoorhees | more info (via: Wylio)I am missing out.
I have been missing writing posts, checking up with friends, and reading blogs. I've been missing it tremendously. Honestly I just don't have any time or energy to even think up anything witty or clever to say. That makes me sad. My job is kind of sucking the life out of me.
I miss me.
It's been really hard. I can't really find much joy in anything right now. I have a few moments with the family, but I am so all consumed by my job and thoughts of my job, I can't concentrate on anything outside of that right now. I have not been a good Mom. I've barely been an "okay" Mom, and I've been a nonexistent Wife. I've been a selfish Friend. I've been a bitchy Daughter*. Which only means one thing...
I've been an asshat of a Blogger.
I'm sorry, I hate these whiny posts too. I just want people to understand why I've been away. I don't want to be away, but I definitely don't want to be such a damn whiner in every post. So I'm going to try... try and get back to that happy place, at least here. This blog can be my corner of happy. I don't normally need any cheerleaders rooting me on... but if you want to root, it might help.
For now... I will have to come up with my little bit of happy. A reminder:
Sometimes I forget I have a lot to be happy about. Silver lining, right? I'm working on it.
* I will say I have been a good sister, merely for the fact that my sister and I can commiserate together.

A Confession
Jacob is so insistent on having me do everything for him right now. He crys and says, "I love Mommy the most!" when Mr. B tries to do something for him. It makes me sad for Mr. B, and it is quite annoying to have to do everything for him right now, but honestly, it also makes me a little proud that he is so close to me.
Those little times we have together where he plays with my hair and we giggle... I do love them. I know it won't always be this way, so I am cherishing the moment right now with my little guy, being his favorite and sharing secrets with them, even if the secret is the fact that we changed the lyrics from "You are my Sunshine" to "You are my Turtle".

Better late than never, My letter to Jacob
Dear Jacob,
This was the year you went from being a baby to a little boy, in my eyes. You were easy to potty train, just like your brother. You gave me some good scares, but are such a tough little guy, always testing your boundaries, and always determined to win every argument. You still love your blankies, Dora the Explorer and Scooby doo. When you are feeling sad you like me to sing "You are my Sunshine", when you are feeling silly you like me to change it to "You are my Froggy". You have many friends at school, but your best friend is Drew. You wanted, more than anything this year an Octopus necklace for your birthday, and you got one. This year you were more challenging than the previous years, but that made all the triumphs and sweet moments more endearing. You are my little daredevil with an infectious laugh. Most of all though, you are still my baby. I love you Jacob. You have my heart.
XOXO
Love,
Mommy
PS Please click through to see the montage I made him, if you wish- just to warn you, it is long....
