Motherly reaction or I am just crazy?!?!

My kids have both had an amazing day today so not much to blog about there but something happened on a play date today that has me wondering if it was a normal motherly reaction or if I am just crazy, lol?!?

We always go to Chick Fil A with one of our friends and her little boy for play dates and the mom and I will sit at the table where we can see in the play place. I was holding Maddie in my arms sitting down when I glanced into the play place only to see my friends little boys face being pushed hard into a beam type thing in there. I immediately jumped out of my chair and ran into the play place all the while yelling at the two little boys that were doing it to him to "leave their hands to themselves." This may not sound so crazy to some but literally I yelled so loud at these children that all of Chick Fil A got quiet and all eyes on me! The result of those two little boys hurting the boy we were with was he had a bleeding busted lip (and might I add the parents did nothing to these boys but stare at me in disbelief for telling their children to keep their hands to themselves). The "I hate confrontation" Jamie thinks I was totally out of line but the mommy Jamie would do it again in a heartbeat!

So, what do you guys think? Was I right in how I reacted or am I just plain crazy LOL

Loving my kids...

I decided for the new year that I am going to start blogging on a regular basis because I often sit back and think "you are going to miss this someday." If I blog about my days, even the worst ones I have, I can look back on them and laugh (maybe)!

I feel like so often I do not say certain things because I am scared of people thinking that I am not a good mom! I have decided though I have to let that all go and realize that no one is perfect especially not me! I hope that with this blog moms can laugh with me, sometimes cry with me, and sometimes be thankful you are not me haha but in all honesty I just want all moms to remember that we are in this together!

Now on to my day...Logan went back to school today and honestly I don't really realize how just 3 hours at school makes such a difference! I had to run errands so Mike kept Maddie and was supposed to pick Logan up from school. He gets out at noon and I got a text from Mike around 11:58 saying he totally forgot and didn't know how long it would take bc he had to get Maddie ready to leave (here is where I thank God that Logan goes to my moms school). My in laws came over for dinner and to hang out which was a nice break. Logan heard one of his friends use the word "sexy" and "hot" so his new thing is to tell me every ten minutes "mommy you are sexy" which I then reply telling him that its not appropriate at all to say that to his mom and he says "okay mommy you are hot"

The last hour consisted of Maddie bug screaming and Logan trying to fart on me while I repeatedly told him to stop...now they are both sleeping and at quiet moments like this when any sane person would be so thankful they are sleeping I want to wake them up...or maybe just cuddle!!! The thing that I love the most though is that no matter how my day goes or how the day ends it always brings the biggest smile to my face when I see both of their faces in the morning!!! They are so lucky they are cute :)

Honesty is the best policy, right??

Why are we as moms so judgemental? I ask this question but I am just as guilty. I feel like once we birth our kids we feel this strong desire to think that we have it all figured out. That we are doing it the right way while everyone else is confused. I think this is sad but funny at the same time. I do believe that 98% of us really do mean well but the other 2% are just mean! I love when I see a pregnant girl because I just want to start talking to her about delivery and very intimate moments like I have known her all my life (clearly if you are a mom you know that all modesty goes out the window after you have your legs in the air with people coming in and out of that room so why would she look at me funny?) I know deep down though that poor girl needs to cherish her last few moments before she has her children...before she loses herself!

Don't get me wrong...I love being a mom but I cannot remember the last time I did something for me! But that is the point of motherhood, right? To give all of ourselves to our children so they can become the best they can be! I am just going to be completely honest in this blog. When I had Logan and even the three years into his life he was a true Angel sent from God (if you have never met my son and you are rolling your eyes thinking I am lying you can ask any of my friends and they will tell you how much they hated me these three years).

I would have friends say to me "oh my my child will not sleep through the night" which I would reply "that must be awful" while I was really thinking "wow Logan has slept through the night for a while now". Or I would be with a friend and witness their child having a complete meltdown and the whole time I was embarrassed for her and wondered what exactly was going on and thanking God my child didnt act like that.

Now fast forward to Maddie bug being born and Logan turning 4! Oh my how life is completely different! I am learning that sometimes it doesnt even matter what I do or dont do my kids just are not happy! I never thought that I would be the mom that people stare at in public in disbelief and probably running to their OB to get on birth control! I have walked through stores holding a screaming baby, pushing a cart, and trying to wrangle Logan all at once....I have played tug of war (kind of lol) with my 4 year old in the Walmart toy section.

Being a mom is tough theres no denying that so lets all remember we are in this together...
