Welcome to Mommyhood

I really have no idea why every night I am up in the kitchen cleaning until 10 at night. I clean all day it seems and in the kitchen well over 90 % of the day... is this normal for a stay at home momma? Any ways I'm super excited because this is the night I sit with a beer, preferably wine, but all I have is a beer tonight, and watch The Bachelor way past my bed time, don't judge me. Since of course I am up doing laundry, cooking, cleaning, or just walking around in a daze because I am so exhausted I have my husband dvr it for me, plus it isn't so much fun to watch it with him criticizing ever moment of the show and hearing, "this is ridiculous," every few minutes. 


I'm a huge fan of my evenings because my baby doll is fast asleep the crying, arguing, and screaming that goes on throughout the day stops, well somewhat stops like I said my son is going through a tantrum stage (I really hope it is just a stage). The one good thing is I finally get to sit and eat dinner and I don't have kids fighting over sitting in my lap, yes that happens every time, I mean EVERY TIME I sit down, so I just don't do it. I'm literally on my feet all day long unless I am doing my crunches and push-ups. Guess that's just mommyhood when you have two children only 21 months apart.


Any ways I'm going to miss my late nights with Ben, boo! As I was eating dinner tonight I was checking out other momma blogs and decided I really need to post some of my family's recipes so I am going to try hard to cook some of them asap. I really do miss cooking them due to my husband unable to eat anything with tomatoes, chillies, peppers... yeah already explained that and unfortunately all my great recipes are Mexican dishes, I'm half Mexican and my dad was the main cook in the family using recipes passed on from his mom, my Nana. I'm also determined to get a hold of some of my husband's family's recipes they used in their bakery in Silver City New Mexico.


Look forward to the best beef tacos ever, excellent Mexican rice, maybe some chili con carne, calabacita, and great salsa! Happy Bachelor watching to all you fans tonight and I need to get off the computer before someone gives away if he chooses Lindzi or Courtney, my vote is for Lindzi! 


P.S. my dad uses lard in everything so hopefully I can create just as good of a meal with something a bit lighter and healthier!

Ewww, yes I posted a picture of me with out make-up, after a long day, and a 5 mile run,  ha ha.
