This momma is wild: Getting our Irish on

I know it has been a few days since I have included a new blog. I have been trying super hard to keep up, but between holidays, practice for the ACTHA ride, and trying to be the best mommy I can be, I hardly have time. Some times I wonder if this balancing act of how my time is spent isn't really balanced at all. I need a life outside of the four walls I call home, or insanity will settle in to the crevasses of my brain box. Most times I am out of the house, of course, Violet is my little chaperon. The few times I go out on my own it is usually two to four hours of baby free time, with the exception of maybe going out over night with Jason, maybe once a month. Even on the nights that Violet is spending the night at her Grandma's house I am more often than not, at home.
I know, I know, what is all this "I need to tell you my schedule" stuff?
First off I want to say, that I am no way ungrateful for the help my family has given me, with Violet. There have been times when I have almost thrown my hands up in the air and yelled "I GIVE UP!" With out the full support of my Mother and MIL....Well I don't know how things would be, because I have never been with out it. But things would be a topsy turvey world, that's for sure. With that said, there is still room for error, and that's where this installment of "This Momma is Wild" comes in.
I don't think I am the first mother to complain about this BUUUUUTTT.... Some times I do ask for help. Most times it is for small things like can you keep an eye on the babe so I can use the crapper. If I'm not mistaken, the person that is being asked has two options. I mean I might be crazy, but isn't that how it usually works? Yes, or No......Right? If you don't want to do it then just say so. Believe me, I will find my way around it. And doesn't it drive you crazy, when that person says yes and then they complain about it later? AAAAAA weather it is a babysitter, a friend, or YOUR MOM! lol. I know we have all been guilty of it. But I write the blog and so here I am. Details can be spared, but you all know how them moms get right. But then again I think, what good is mom if she's not keeping you on your toes lol?
Okay enough of the waa waa.
St. Patricks Day was so much fun! A practice ride for the ACTHA earlier in the evening and an ol' Irish drink later on in the evening. The ride was so much fun, and my Maxie Boy was wonderful. I can't wait until tomorrow morning, when I can rise and shine with the butterflies in my tummy to compete again. No I'm not nervous this time, but I am totally excited. I will let you know how we do.
The party last night was a lot of laughing, and giggling, and singing. We got a few Irish jigs in there, and even some rock band. here are the pictures.
