This morning started off very nice. Kevin took the morning off and had breakfast with Mason while Xander and I slept. When I woke up and was about to get ready I noticed that my wedding ring was gone!!! I keep my ring in a jewelry dish in my closet on a shelf. I thought that was a good place for it but I guess not. I wasn't wearing my ring while I was cleaning downstairs yesterday and in the mean time Mason and Xander got into my closet and were messing with all my stuff. I did notice that they broke two necklaces (only from clairs but still) and dumped out some really expensive face cream that I had just barely bought! I was really mad about that at the time and didn't notice that my ring was gone. When I saw that my ring wasn't there I told Kevin what happened and we started looking for it and trying to get Mason to tell us where it was. We looked everywhere! Kevin took the sink apart, we cleared out the closet, looked in every floor vent... where I found some other stuff that was missing. I looked in every shoe, in their toy box, dug through the trash, just to mention a few. Kevin was sure it had been flushed down the toilet, which made my heart sink. I was so sad and mad at the same time! After Kevin went to work I started to clean up since the house was turned upside down at this point. After I got most of our room put back together I pulled out everything out from under our bed (one of Mason's favorite hangout places) and inside a blanket I found my ring and a destroyed stick of chapstick. Now my emotions switched to so happy and mad at the same time. Earlier I had prayed that I would find my ring, so when I found it I said "thank you Heavenly Father!" Mason asked me why I said that and I explained that I prayed to find my ring and Heavenly Father helped me find it. Two seconds later I heard him praying that he would get DJ for christmas. HAHA What am I going to do???? I love my kids so much but at the same time they have the greatest talent to make my life misserable! What to do?? Every once in a while I think about having a third but I can't keep the two I have under control!!! Am I the only one? Is there some parenting technique that I don't know about? I don't know how to deal with them sometimes!!! Well anyway I'm sure you are wondering how I found time to write this novel?? Well to be able to clean up the house and not worry what they were getting into I sent them both to bed at 11:45. They both cried themselves to sleep and here I am. Loving every minute of peace! I guess this story has a happy ending, except I have no idea how to keep my kids from getting into stuff. Has anything worked for anyone else? Does it get any better? Am I doomed? Anyway... I'm just glad I still have my beautiful ring.

My advice is NOT to have another one... hee hee. 2 boys is perfect! I never thought about it before Milo was born, but at 3 you have to start juggling!!! (I love you Milo!) Making our life miserable is our kids' job. They are here to force wisdom and patience on us! Yet without even trying they make life so worth living at the same time. Just think of how boring your day would have been without them - ha ha ha!! I lock everything up they shouldn't get into or put it out of reach and sight and then let them tear apart all the other cupboards (like tupperware) daily until they get the exploring out of their system. Finn and Leander don't get into things - I don't know why. I think my kids are just angelic - lol.
Great advice!
What a day! I can imagine how awful it was not being able to find your wedding ring. Glad that you were able to get it back!
Being a mom is so hard. No one understands unless they have kids of their own...and more so if they stay home and go through what we do. It's insane. I don't know about having a third either...at least not for several years.
Sorry I haven't called. I've wanted to get together. I've been so sick this week, started last Friday. I want to be over it now. It's just a really awful cold, maybe even a sinus infection or something. I think I need to go to the doctor; I'm miserable and it's been an awful week. I've been so grumpy to my 2 little angels and I feel horrible. It's not fair for moms to get sick!
Anyway, just know that you are not the only one who feels like you are going to go crazy before your next birthday! :)
Every kid is different, but there is something about those Mortimer boys....they destroy everything! If I were you, I would just hold on tight for the ride of your life!! They're just getting started. :)
