Well, I'm Gone, baby, Gone....

Come see me over at Mom on a Stick!!

I'm moving!

So I've been absent.. again!
We've been chugging along.. Campbell has moved out of her good sleeper phase and has entered her "I'm a growing baby and I'm going to wake you up to nurse me every two hours phase". Fun.
I love her, i love nursing, but Man! I am tired!

Since I'm no longer just "TeaghansMama" I've decided to start a new blog on November 1st. Look for me starting then at Mom on a Stick. I'm looking into buying a domain but for now I'll still be using Blogger.

Also, I'm taking Jessica's challenge and will be attempting to post EVERYDAY in November!!

Yes.. it's a lot of pressure but I think it might just be the kick in the pants I need!

PS: I promise to post a newer picture of myself over at Mom on a Stick. I look nothing like that!! ha!

You are my sunshine...

I'm too tired to think up a title for this post.

Whew. The last few days have been mentally/emotionally taxing. Like, the last 8 weeks worth of few days.
I think I forgot how draining being a new mom can be, even though it's the second time around.
I'm sruggling to find a way to do it all. Be a great mom, spend time with my kids,...keep them clean, fed, safe... keep ME clean, fed and safe ... to say nothing of being a wife. And my house? Lord, help me. I want a bigger house but I need clean team to come with it.
I've been feeling overwhelmed. I've been feeling tired, dull, sometimes like a complete failure.
I don't know if this is post-partum depression or just normal. When Teaghan was born, I had a mini-break down right after birth, when we couldn't get breastfeeding down and she had jaundice. But it was quick and seemed to have a point, you know? I was a BRAND NEW mom and dealing with real issues. Now I just feel like a flake.
Today was a good day. I got a shower (!), wore a new skirt that actually fits (it was only $6 on clearance at Target!) and the day went off with nary a hitch. Tomorrow I'll probably be back in my old pajama pants with today's mascara around my eyes, bleary eyed and caffinated, sticky from breastmilk and baby spit, standing in a heap of toys after the girls have finally gone down for a nap, wondering where the day went.

Remember. Don't ever forget.

Go watch this...

I'm attempting to be cool like Rachael and capture the girls cuteness on video...
Here's my first attempt:

Saturday Afternoon

After washing, drying and folding diapers,

I played "doh doh" with the girls....

Changing the subject COMPLETELY

VeryMom did this last week...Now I'm doing the same. I like it and I love seeing what everyone uses and carries it in.

My Las Vegas bag I bought as a PBR trip souvenier in Oct 2003. Even though I bought it at Kohl's on clearance after returning home. Oh well..




I don't leave home without, well, when I remember to throw it in the diaper bag, that is...




A Dove face cleanser cloth **This just happens to be a sample I received in the mail. For that not so fresh quick facial... ha!

Great Lash mascara I think I've been using this since 8th grade! No, silly..not this tube.

Palmer Cocoa Butter stick for lips and cheeks Love, love, love this stuff. There's nothing better than Palmer's.

Neutrogena Mineral powder in a quick brush not sure aobut this yet, It comes out kind of thick.

CoverGirl lipslicks for a hint of color when I'm trying to be a yummy mummy.

and hair elastics. always.

In Mourning

Cynthia Moreland's body was found yesterday. My heart breaks for the Moreland family. I pray that she didn't suffer.
What a truly senseless crime. I hope Antonio Davon Chance gets what he deserves.
