Once Upon A Time

There lived a boy named Cutie Pie. He loved his jumper jamp so much he would jump and jump and jump until he could jump no more.

The end.

Survival Mode

Some days.....

Got plans? Forget them. They will go astray. Have a list of to-do's to get done? Well consider them to-dont's. Want to paint your nails? Take a nice long bath? Anything considered a luxury....No. Nope. Don't even get your hopes up thinking about it. If there's something that can go wrong, it will. If there's something that will make you late, force plans to change, throw a monkey wrench in your day, it will happen.

Some days.....

The deck seems to just be stacked against you. It's all about being in survival mode. All about simply trying to survive the day. Every second of every minute of every hour of that day will be spent trying to keep your calm and sanity until bed time. No plans will be kept. No to-do's will get done. And certainly no leisurely time will be had. Your blinders are up, you're running on fumes, you're kicking ass (the day's ass, not you're children's!) and taking names. 

Survival mode. Every Mama's got one. Some days are just like that.

M-O-L-L-Y

Every day Molly and I practice spelling her name. We say and spell it out loud, and when we're in the car she types it on this little kid Ipad thing she has and then shows me. She is usually spot on, but sometimes....

"M-O-L-L-L-L-Y. That spells Molly."

Hahahahaha I think you've got a few too many L's in there sweetie pie!

Along with spelling her name, she's a fan of reading to her babies. "Once upon a time, Biscuit rode the bus to school. But he wasn't suppose to ride the bus to school. Dogs don't ride the bus! Haha! No. He got yelled at and walked home. The end!"

I'm pretty sure that's not how it goes, but hey, nice imagination right? I think I like her version better anyway.
