Common Mom Problems and Solutions | Toddler Times

momruts 300x300 11 Common Mom Ruts (and How to Snap Out of Them)Oh, mommas. You are so loved and underappreciated and frazzled and I feel for you.

Truly, I do. I?m right there in the thick of it with you.

After ranting it out about how my kid cries at drop-off and I never pee alone and I haven?t ironed a shirt in almost two years, y?all were like AMEN! HALLELUJAH! and I knew we were onto something. We?re all feeling those ruts and most folks think of ?mom ruts? as just our looks and vanity ? not losing the baby weight and having Michelle Duggar?s haircut. But ruts go far deeper than that ? they can seep into our work life and our cooking and our sex life. Then we feel even more awful and rut-stuck and it?s a viscious cycle that keeps repeating.

So here are some awful ruts we moms face and here?s how we say ?WE?RE NOT GONNA TAKE IT? like Twisted Sister:

    Your man wants to...you know

    And you don't want to...you know. You know? Maybe it's that you're touched-out for the day or just tired or frumpy and feeling unsexy, but the last thing you want to do is the limbo under the sheets.

  • thumbs img 0118 1024x768 0 11 Common Mom Ruts (and How to Snap Out of Them)

    Solution: Do romance instead

    This takes talking between partners. Explain to your man that he's sexy and you love him, but you need some pre-heating that includes XYZ. Be specific. For me, it's a drink and a hot shower and a foot rub. It also helps to have regular date nights that remind us WHY we are spouses, not just parents.

    So you've found yourself singing "Same ol' sh*t dawg, just another day?" every morning? That sucks. I've been there.

    Solution: Branch out and try something new

    I'm not talking a complete career overhaul (although that's possible - I did it this past year!) but ask your boss if there are any new projects you can help on. She or he will appreciate the initiative. If you stay home, join a new playgroup or sign up for swim lessons - something new and adventurous!

    People. I wore this out in public one time. It is the epitomy of the frumpy mom with no dial-tone on what is stylish. We've all been there and we can all make it out to the other side.

    You can never, ever get your house clean

    It's like brushing your teeth while sneaking your toddler's Halloween candy, right? The floors are always sticky, the counters have last night's dinner on the backsplash, and you just stepped on a Lego. Ouch to your feet and ego.

    Solution: Small fixes

    So what if the house isn't HGTV ready? Wipe down your counters every night, keep fresh flowers on the kitchen table, and keep the toys relatively picked up. Just those three changes will make a world of difference and only take 5 minutes each.

    Solution: Small treats

    Grab that $3 magazine next time you're in line. Then lock yourself in the bathroom with it and a glass of wine for 10 minutes. Or do the drivethru at Starbucks. Or give yourself one day per week where you don't clean or work at nap time, but instead dust off your favorite book or nap.

    It's painful, isn't it? You birth them into this world and then they want the father. You're with them at 3am with cough medicine and they ask for Daddy when they wake up. It's a phase but man, it is a hurtful one.

    Kick Daddy out the door for a round of golf and have a day of solo momma and tot time. Hit up the park, have lunch together, snuggle on the couch with a movie. Uninterupted momma time is the best remedy for reminding your toddler that hey! mommy is cool too!

Ford C-Max Hybrid Outsells Toyota Prius v in First Full Sales Month

DEARBORN ? The new Ford C-Max Hybrid ? America?s most fuel-efficient and affordable hybrid utility vehicle ? is now the best-selling hybrid utility vehicle after outselling Toyota Prius v, 3,182 units to 2,769 units, in just its first full month of sales in October.

The new C-Max Hybrid led Ford in achieving its best October hybrid sales month ever with a total of 4,612 sales, up 142 percent over October 2011. C-Max Hybrid sales helped Ford deliver its best October for small car sales in 11 years. Ford sales of Focus, C-Max and Fiesta were up 54 percent to 25,493 units year over year.

?The new C-Max is off to a fast start in the heart of the hybrid market, not only outselling Prius v, but drawing a lot of interested Toyota customers who chose our new hybrid instead,? says C.J. O?Donnell, manager, Ford Electrified Vehicles. ?Customers now come into our showrooms for fuel economy, and we?re delivering with six vehicles that offer 40 mpg or better, including the new C-Max Hybrid at 47 mpg combined, with another two on the way by year?s end.?

C-Max Hybrid?s leading EPA-rated fuel economy ? up to 7 mpg better than Prius v ? is already helping attract new customers in key coastal markets that own import vehicles. One in four C-Max Hybrids sold in October were sold in California, with Los Angeles as the best-selling region and San Francisco following in second.

Additionally, initial conquest data show that more than 70 percent of C-Max Hybrid buyers traded in a competitive model or added it without trading in another vehicle. And one third of C-Max Hybrid customers in October said they cross-shopped the Toyota Prius and Prius v.

?The C-Max Hybrid is winning over customers with its best-in-class passenger room, smart technologies and leading fuel economy,? says O?Donnell. ?And its $25,995 price tag gives customers the value they are looking for without having to make the typical compromises that have defined most hybrids until now.?

Customers are demonstrating that even in a hybrid vehicle, they are looking for ?real car? features. More than 60 percent of sales of C-Max Hybrid are the SEL model, which offers Intelligent Access with push-button start, rain-sensing wipers, heated seats, Sync with MyFord Touch, ambient lighting and the Reverse Sensing System standard. Early sales of the SEL model are running about 20 percent higher than expected.

C-Max Energi ? America?s most fuel-efficient and affordable plug-in hybrid vehicle ? is now available at Ford EV-certified dealers in half the states across the country. As Ford?s first production plug-in hybrid, C-Max Energi provides customers with an all-new electrified vehicle offering that delivers a class-leading 108 MPGe city EPA rating, ?real car? horsepower of 195 (versus Prius plug-in?s 134 horsepower) and a leading EV-only speed of 85 mph, 20 mph above the Prius plug-in.

According to a Pike Research report, Ford?s electrified vehicle offerings will help the company join Toyota as leaders in electric vehicle sales by 2020. The report projects plug-in hybrid sales will reach nearly 48,000 units in 2012, and sell faster than the early days of conventional hybrids by later this decade.

The all-new C-Max Energi joins Ford?s all-new electrified vehicle offerings, including the 2013 Ford Fusion Hybrid, America?s most fuel-efficient sedan, which is on sale now. The new Fusion will also give customers the power to choose across three powertrain options ? gasoline, hybrid and plug-in hybrid.

From the S in SAIDFRAZ: One, two, everything is new ....

For the past couple of weeks I've alluded to the fact we were working on a home improvement project. I hesitate to call it a?renovation?because we just don't have the resources or the know-how to do a complete overhaul of the room. Therefore I choose to call it home improvement and trust me, it's an 100% improvement over what it was before.

Without further ado, let me present my new master bathroom.

Now let's back pedal to what it was before. Our bathroom was so hideous that I actually have very few photos of how it looked. Dale asked me before we started if I was going to take pictures and I replied, "no way. I don't want people seeing just how bad it is." Of course halfway into the project I regretted that decision?because?I really wanted to blog about what a difference a little paint, wood, and elbow grease could make. So, I've been scrounging around trying to find any photos that might paint the picture for you.

I think this photo taken back in the summer when Dale and Andrew were replacing the stems on the handles shows you what we were working with.
?

I'm not going to give a blow-by-blow detail of what we did, I'll just hit the highlights. We:

So, do we have a beautiful new bathroom? NO! Beautiful would have included replacing instead of re-dressing, including new: shower insert, tile floor, vanity with a granite top, and toilet. BUT, for us, it is a major improvement and not so scary to go into anymore. Did we do a perfect job? NO! But, we're proud of the work we did and are happy with the results. (Except maybe the countertop. I think I might redo it, but I'll wait awhile and let Dale recover first). We also plan to replace the light fixture as soon as we get the money AND I think I need to add a piece or two of art on the walls.?

This is probably it for home improvements for awhile. My husband and my checking account are yelling, "Roger that!"?
