And I'm back...

So remember 10 years ago when I started a blog but never wrote on it? Okay, not ten years but its been a while since I've made an entry. But man, life has been busy! I am in no way a "blogger" by profession or an English buff for that matter, so excuse everything that you may find offensive with my spelling, grammar, run-ons, punctuation..yada, yada, yada.
Let me help you understand my world. I've been married 11 years and have three crazy sons (I refer to them as ninjas). I was told after Ninja #1, I was done having children. That's what the doctor had to say. God had another plan. Four years later we had Ninja #2, with another act of the Almighty, and 13 months later, Ninja #3 rolled into our lives. That makes a 6 year old, an 18 month old and 5 month old.
I don't leave the house unless I have to. We live in a second floor condo and getting us all to the car, run the errands and back up makes for a beyond exhausting event that brings me close to cussing or dissolving in tears. My attire is whatever is loose fitting and happens to be clean. I'm rescued every evening when my Superman comes home from work and rights all that has gone wrong. He is the best thing ever.
Life isn't easy right now, but I'm okay with that. It gets to me some days and I fully participate in the ugly cry and have a melt down. Other days I wipe spit up and clean a bum like its my second nature... never missing a beat. Every mother I come in contact with tells me to enjoy these times because they grow up too fast. Laundry will always be there, but my babies being babies will not. I fully intend on listening to their wisdom. Even if it sounds stupid on the hard days.
So I'm back to blogging. I think it might be a form of therapy for me. A place where I can be myself, let out frustration, exclaim a joyous event or simply work on my typing.
Humor is something we take very seriously in my world. I hope you find it in these posts and are able to enjoy my journey.

Oh, Now I Get It!

"They love you, they hate you, they're hot, they're cold, they're high, they're low...they're up, they're down. Its really fun making this list with you." - Runaway Bride quote. One of my all time favorite movies. This dialog between two men explains me so well its scary. It is loaded with the description of my emotions on a daily basis as well as sarcasm. Me? Sarcastic? Okay, I'll stop. I'll be honest, I've deleted my Facebook account...um....a million times, and I've changed my Instagram name probably fifty times. Its not that I can't commit. Its more like I'm figuring out what I want, and when I figure it out....BAM! It sticks baby. And just like that I segue into my topic for this post. I think I am starting to figure this new me out. Here is what I've been battling. Before marriage I some what knew who I was. Well, as much as a young girl without any curves whatsoever living on the brink of car phone discovery could. ...

My Twenty Minute Ride Home

When I was growing up, I simply refused to show hormonal emotion. I even took pride in the fact I could watch Steele Magnolias and not shed a tear. This is no longer the case (and don't get me started on that darn movie...I bawl like a baby every time). This "release of emotion" all started back to when I first got married. The Cajun and I (like most people) had an interesting first few years of marriage. The man could not seem to learn how to read my mind, or the huge hints I would send out. Thus the tears.... Then things got worse after I birthed a 9lb human. Suddenly those stupid Hallmark commercials would just ruin me. And then I tried to potty train this ninja....and again....and the last time I tried, he got it. I'm not sure if you have ever tried to potty train a stubborn male being at a young age or not but its a type of hell on earth all on it's own. I can still hear myself yelling "JUST GO TO COLLEGE IN A DIAPER!!! I NO LONGER GIVE A FLYING FART IN...

Jack aka Tank

Life is never dull. At least not as a Bodker. I know I haven't posted in a while, but I have a really good excuse...I had another baby. And let me just say that I forgot almost EVERYTHING!! We wanted a second child for a long time, so when it happened (to God be the glory), we were thrilled! Then I got sick...morning sickness, which should be labeled, always sickness. I think with this last kid I felt good for about...oh...one month. And of course he was a low rider and took my hips as far away as they could possibly move from each other. I'm going to be honest, I'm not a good pregnant lady. But on June 26th, at 11:46AM, little Jack came into our lives capturing our hearts the instant we laid eyes on him. The little critter was three weeks early and out in two pushes. I've very proud of the fact that I only pushed twice, and grateful that his big brother paved the way for his easy arrival. However, in him arriving three weeks early, his lungs weren't yet developed...
