Breaking the rules
Oh how pride falls. I'm sure every new mom does this, we tell ourselves that there are certain things that we just will not do. But here I am, confessing that I have done not one but TWO things this month that were on my list of things I wouldn't do.
Number One: I wrote a group thank you. My painting group bought be a super cool baby sling, and rather than write 6 thank you notes, I wrote one. It was just sheer laziness, but I honestly can't tell you that I would do it differently now.
Number Two: I plopped Sophie down in her little chair the other day and turned on the only movie she watches (Little People) so that I could work. When it was over, I even started in again. I'm not going to lie, it was nice to be able to sit down and do my work without having to stop every two minutes to avert some potential disaster. That's the biggest hurdle about working from home, it is so easy to get distracted. So if anyone knows of any place to get other Little People movies, let me know!!!

This post cracks me up because I too have broken all the good mama rules I declared before having kids. I think when you have more than one kid you just have to let some rules go just to keep your sanity! For me it's been food related. I always planned to never introduce junk food or sweets but here I am feeding Andrew a "frosty" from Wendy's just to get him to eat something!
EVERY mom has broken those rules they set forth in their head long ago. Every mom.
Whether it be sweets, tv, or whatever...I've broken them all. You are balancing a lot girl!!
The last sentence was-
Give yourself credit.
Hi Andi I am a blog stalker I guess you could say....I have been reading your mom's and your blog for some time now..I had a blog of my own, but slacked when it came to updating it
Amazon.com had Little People DVD's
uhmmm, how bad of a mom am i going to be that i already know that i'll break these rules?
I live by this rule: " Pick your battles"
I was thinking http://www.amazon.com because if you buy a couple or a book or something else too... you get free shipping over $39 before tax! and that's always great
I have the discovering vehicles at the garage little people video that Sophie can have.
