Mommy Game

I need to step up my mommy game.  I have been slackin' for a bit and I am NOT proud of it.  My children and I are spending way too much time in front of the TV and not doing enough stuff.

Usually they are enrolled in a class or two which gets us out of the house....which is key because it is actually easier to take them out than it is to stay home and drown in sibling rivalry.  However, I have not found anything that works for us now.  Kyle is too old for the class Hailey could be enrolled in, and though I could drop him off and hang with Hailey at his class, I have no one to watch my Tidbit while Hailey does something.

I was psyched when I found soccer because Kyle could take a class right next to Hailey, and he did not need a parent, so I could go to her class.  It would have been perfect!  Except for the fact that they HATED it!  Jay and I got them on the field and Kyle looked like such a sad pup who had no interest in even trying the sport-even though he was SO EXCITED for it.  Miss. Hailey Diva-ed up and wouldn't participate at all.  I felt like a nut job doing all the turns and running back and forth with my 2 year old chasing me, yelling at me and crying.  It was quite the scene.

I hate the cold, so I haven't been eager about playing outside, and crafts are such a mess sometimes!  OK now I am being a baby.  Is it OK to blame my lack of mommy fun on the new baby???  I am pregnant after all.  No? 

Anyway,  I KNOW I am slackin' I am admitting it, and I KNOW I could use some tips, advice and fun mommy ideas so bring them on....WITHOUT negative judgement..I am pregnant...No?  The sympathy thing didn't work? OK just be nice!  I am TRYING! =)
