Mommy meme

Giovanna tagged me for this one. I like her answers 🙂

First: Post a picture of you and your kids. Since I’m usually the one behind the camera, I had my nanny take a few when I got home from work today.

Second: Answer the questions.

  1. How many children do you have?
    Three – B/G twins and another boy
  2. What are their ages?
    The twins are 3 1/2 and the other one just turned 1
  3. What time of day do you start your day?
    As late as possible. The kids wake up anywhere between 7:00 and 8:00.
  4. What do you eat for breakfast?
    A bagel and coffee – in the car.
  5. Do they watch TV?
    The twins do. Probably more than they should.  The little guy isn’t into it.
  6. What are their favorite activities?
    The twins *LOVE* to color. Logan loves climbing…and giving his mom a heart attack.
  7. Do you get a break during the day from them?
    Almost too much of a break since I work full time.
  8. How do you end your day?
    Eating dinner and watching TV with my husband (we’ve been really into Ghost Hunters and America’s Got Talent lately).
  9. What is your best parenting advice or tip?
    Parent TOGETHER. Even if you disagree with what the other one is saying, hold your tongue in front of the kids and discuss it later. Back each other up…My husband is always saying “You heard your mom…” LOVE that.

Third: Tag 5 people.

Is It Just Me?

So, the other day I’m cruising through my day and all of a sudden I stop cold. Did I brush my teeth today?? I honestly don’t recall doing it. Quick slide of the tongue over the teeth…they feel pretty smooth and squeaky clean…at least, no different than normal after the usual cup of coffee or two…but that may be due to our new kick-butt toothpaste. DAMN! I really can’t remember!

There would be, of course, an easy solution to this…just brush ’em again, but that’s not the point. What if I really didn’t?? How many people had I “close talked” with?? Was I all stanky and yellow? ACK!! Who the heck can’t remember if they haven’t brushed their teeth?

…and then I realize that I’m lucky if I remember to change out of my PJs and brush my hair. Oh crap. Did I?
