Ooh it's a bit cold

I took the boys for a walk this morning to meet andre for coffee. Except it took a wee while to get there because we had to keep stopping to look at construction or wave to the construction men.

I dressed the boys up warm but the wind was bitterly cold so once I had coffee with andre we came home. I was going to walk around the city a bit more but it was just too cold.

Marley found this face on a temporary fence around a construction site he thought it was hilarious.

While waiting for our coffee he climbed up and pretended to be a good chameleon.

I had to take a pic of the cranes working so he could look at them later.

I wanted to set a few things straight about my recent blips. In no way do i intend to make any parent feel bad. The activities i have been doing i have wanted to do for my boys and give others ideas for those days when your at your wits ends trying to entertain them. Believe me when I say this is the first holidays where I have done activities every day.

I want to create memories and experiences for the boys. I blip them so when the boys are older or if something were to happen to me they would know i worked hard for them. It's like a time capsule/diary of my parenting experience and I make sure i don't hide the hard side of it. I absolutely in no way want to make anyone feel bad that's not who I am. I am not in it to gain admiration or sympathy. I'm in it to show how it is parenting 3 boys. It's for them mainly.

Having kids is hard. I'm always tired. I get fed up. They're all demanding. I sometimes shout when they're not listening and misbehaving. I'm just like every other mother. I miss things like showering/ using the bathroom audience free. I miss just going out with my husband. I am lonely and at the same time never alone. There are things i want to do and get but their needs surpass mine. I grew these little people its my job to guide them to be happy, respectful men who have values and morals. Who want to do good things and be good people in life.

This is my job. This is my life. I have to accept everything that comes with being a stay at home mama and I do, so I'm trying to embrace it knowing my time will come, eventually my boys will leave my nest and I want to know when they do i gave them my all. I want no regrets. Because when that day comes oh it will hurt but also be a relief to finally do all the things I want to do. Everything that these 3 boys throw at me, the situations i get put into, i try my best.

I sincerely apologize if my blips made anyone feel bad. Believe me that's not my intention. I just want to record my days and have it for my boys to read when their older.

So this is today's entry. Though it's early I'm planning on doing nothing for the rest of the day. It's cold and I'm tired.
