Why do Moms have to do the time keeping ? Maybe there are homes where its the other way round or share but not here :(
And that can suck big time , I have to get ready , get the kids ready and all our stuff .
Which results in me nagging and treatening to get them out of the house on time and to where we need to be ...mostly late or if we are on time in a horrible mood .
Gotta go now , cause we are late

On and off Potty training for Ben .
June / July more Potty training , Hubby in and out of Hospital , tests and treatments . Aparently his Ateries are blocked and can't be opened . In Laws are visiting even though we asked them not to .
August Nieces Hen Party and Wedding , all my Babies in one Place , Bliss !!!
September Hubby in Hospital again , Ben starting FS 1 and still Potty training , having enough of Pee and Poo
October my youngest Niece is moving back to Germany , Abbie turns 2 and still Potty training Ben
November Hubby away for weeks , I went to visit my Friend over the weekend without Kids , talking about moving into our House because Hubby will be leaving the Army .
December , Youngest Niece is in Mental Hospital for PTSD , told my Sister what I think of her and the way she is treating her Children , Ben is still having Potty issues aka Poopy Pants , Babysitting pretty much every day for my Friend , Christmas preparations and looking for a kitchen .
Other Highlights from 2013

Am I messy or really organized ?
Sitting down with my first (of many) cups of Coffe , watching the Kids eat breakfast , spreading it all over the table and I'm asking myself .... Am i really organized or kinda messy with a that will do attuide ?
Let me explain , on FB I see posts from Moms complaining that their House is a tip , mountains of washing and they are always busy busy with housework .
I'm not .
Don't get me wrong i do have washing , ironing and cleaning but I don't feel that busy . And this is what the post is about is it because I'm organized and do things as they happen OR is it because I do as much as needed and that's it ?
How can u tell ? There are days where nobody and i mean not even closest friends should pass my doorstep and then days where my house is gleaming after a good clean . For me there is more to life than having a spotless house , if u think so too maybe we should have a playdate ;)

The Day I almost lost my Schmidts or IF I HAVE TO TELL YOU ONE MORE TIME
It's been coming for a few weeks now , I can feel it during the days and mostly one the weekends ...
I want some time to myself !
I want to sit somewhere and read or scrapbook or pee by myself , without having to shout at a child to stop whatever they doing or else , keeping peace when all hell breaks lose over a toy or when Mr Gadget aka DH is doing important stuff on the computer like moving our movie collection on to a Hard drive or checking FB .
Could somebody please explain to me why his stuff is so much more important than 5 minutes to myself ? I remember when I was pregnant with Stinky , he promised me to get up with him during the night or early before he had to get to work , the help with cooking and taking Stinky off me so I can rest .
Fast forward to almost 3 years later , Miss Maus joined us now and I get up with 2 Kids early in the morning and during the night , Mr Gadget's cooking is happening maybe once or twice a month ( and then I have to take the Kids because he needs to concentrate ) and alone time happens when I have a snooze at lunch on the weekend ( while Miss Maus is asleep too and Mr Stinky too ) and that only because I'm incisting on it .
So u can imagine how happy I am to be moving closer to my Family ( free Babysitters ) , already got told by them that they will take them off my Hands and I can have *gasp* time alone .
But for now I'm still in Italy , trying to get my Kids to listen to me , not throw Toys or take the House apart mostly on my own .
While my outings into the World away for Peppa Pig and Thomas are the weekly Toddler group and Food shopping .
Anyhow about losing my schmidts , I just keep imagining what I do when I get out ALONE and how Mr Gadget would struggle and it puts a smile on my face

New Title , nearly new Year
Right , so last time I left here was just before Miss Maus Birthday and now it's Christmas , let me tell you what happend inbetween .
Ok Abbie's Birthday Party was canceled and pushed back a week because Ben had Croup , scary stuff . For those of you´who haven't encountered it let me explain .
Ben couldn't breath properly , it was more w wheezing and the cough OMG it was more like barking and he couldn't catch his breath . After a lovely morning spend at the Hospital , my Baby was allowed home with some Steroids Juice but he was extremly contagious , so no Party .
The Party was lush , my little Girl had so many People come out and celebrate with her , there where Ballons and Cake and loads of yummy Food . Abbie had a pile of presents and is now the proud Doll Mama to quite a few Babies .
In November my Next Door Neighbour and good Friend moved back to the UK , sniff sniff , really do miss her . She had a good Bye Party and I nearly made her cry with a Card from all of us wishing them the Best Journey and new Life back in England .
And when it came time to say Good bye for real , we cried .... a lot .
On our Move back to Germany , we are not going in January , we are going in April ... need I say more ?
Any way this gives me more time to see some Italy , like downtown Naples , Amalfi Coast and some other stuff . Just need to get DH round to seeing it my way , he is not the most adventures Guy , rather sits at home plays on the Xbox .
Right so now we are at Christmas time , we did it all , baked Cookies , watched the Movies , wraped Presents and seen Santa ( not the best Pictures , who am I kidding they are crap . Ben screamed , Abbie didn't look at the Photografer and 5 Pics and we were done . Not even 5 frecking minutes and it was over )
On the 24th we are having German Christmas ( Potatoe Salad and Sausage ) and on the 25th presents in the Morning and Christmas Dinner at ours , for 8 Grownups and 6 Kids ... yeah I must be crazy . Thankfully everybody is pitching in and bringing some food otherwise I would go nuts trying to do it all .
Little Round up form the Kids
Ben : 2 1/2 Years , talking a lot and constantly ( Where is this or That ? What was that ?)
Gonna start potty training soon , He is telling me when has to poo and pee .
Getting a bit fussy with what he eats , if he doesn't eat , I don't force him . Trust me I tried but the screaming was more than I could handel , so if he doen't want to eat before Bed he goes to Bed with no food . And has a Huge Breakfast in the morning LOL
Abbie : 1 year and 2 month , saying a couple of words , not quite walking yet after a few steeps she drops down and crawls the rest .
Decided she doesn't want to be feed anymore , she is feeding herself , with her fingers for now ( spoon is going everywhere but her mouth )
Loves Animals , Cats , Dogs you name it , some don't even run off and let her stroke/poke them LOL

Shopping and Party Fever
Today was 75 % off already reduced Clothes , I was in haven :)
Stocked up with tons of cute little Girl clothes size 2 & 3 for Miss Maus , now FX she is not gonna outgrow them before she can wear them .
I just love shopping for Kids clothes , I can spend hour ( much to the dislike of my Babies and Husband ) looking at Tops and trousers and my all time Favourite PJs .
Ben has tons of cute ones , Firetrucks , Dinos , Thomas ones . I would like to get him some onies again , he is still wearing Nappies so there would be no problem with going potty during the night .
I was gonna get some for Abbie's Birthday but at the moment there are none in her size , we mostly shop for clothes in the American Shops here . The Italian Sizes are funny , smaller than normal adn it's hard to find soemthing that I like . Oh well there is always Ebay ... oh Honey , I will be on the computer for a while
Ok Party fever , I can't belive that my Baby Girl will be 1 soon . It's Party planning central here , got the Plates , Cups , Tablecloth and Napkins all with multicoloured Polka dots , Party Loot Bags with stripes and a 1 on them , Party Favours ( armbands , wistles , airplanes and some sweets ) .
Nearly done the Mealplan and got most of her Presents and a few small ones for Ben .
Just one Couple hasn't responded yet if they are coming or not ( they have a Boy age 4 , who plays with Ben and the Guy works with DH ) I invited them because I could not invite them , if that makes sence ?
The Boy is diagnosed with ADHD and boy sometimes he can be a handful , he is really ruff with Ben sometimes , like he really wants to hurt him . He pushes and hits , gets him ina chokehold and his Parents are not watching him all the time . He runs riot when he is here and if DH and I don't keep an eye on him , he goes exploring through the whole house ( it's at a point now where we block of the stairs so he can't go up )
So to be honest I wouldn' be sad if they didn't come , there is a few things with the Parents going on too , basicly I don't like being lied to . Tell me the truth even if it hurts , not too much to ask I think .
