Aaahhhh the house is empty and quiet...

I know it's a fleeting moment, but I'm taking it. I can kind of hear them outside, but I'm still in peace. The husband is outside hunting for the "damn" dog who broke out a little while ago...lol.I hope he feels my pain. That dog...lol.

Ok, the weekend has been easy. The kids are feeling better. I'm knocking on wood as I type. Ugh...lol. No more sick kids. No more sick kids. No more sick kids.

I hope everyone is feeling well. We're doing well. I've just been told patience are running thin on the dog. My poor dog. This state just doesn't believe in fences. It makes me crazy. After the urologist for my oldest the next call will be to Invisible Fence to get it adjusted.

XOXO

Today is another day...

Well my new mantra is "Tomorrow is another day."

Good things are happening...

Princess is feeling better!!!!!! If nothing else was happening...that is all that I would need

Princess #2 is Reading! Now let me fill you in that I "motivated" her. I told her that I'd get her a little something if she memorized her sight words! Of course she chose a mansion doll house with accessories! She is totally my daughter.

Spiderman is totally done with the flu and pink eye! Woohoo!

So as you can see things are going well! Today has been a new day and tomorrow is a new one as well. I'm staying positive.
XOXO

The kidney...

Well, my daughter's kidney (only kidney) has come out from hiding and the pain is back. After so many surgeries you'd think all of us would just be immune to the doctor visits, but no. Tensions were hi from everyone this morning....except my precious daughter who's a trooper.

I need to take a lesson in grace from my daughter.

XOXO

Joys of my children....

"Let's look for a Maltese Mommy"

That's how my morning started. Then I looked at my face in the mirror only to jump back , not recognizing the face looking back at me. Not only was I unable to see from the eyes swollen shut....my hands seems to be swollen up as well. What the hell was in that Guacamole?! The eyes are from the Pink Eye my lovely Spiderman (son) gave me. My throat is only slightly scratchy. LOL. Ok, enough bitching..lol...uh yes.

I have so much work to do today, because I have 3 shows coming up and hopefully tons of orders. We need to get Samples made and our brochures started. Yep..lots of work. Ok, so I felt like I negleged my blog so I'm caught up for the morning and don't feel so tired today. Yes, I've been sleep deprived with the kids. Up all week. I slept in until 7:30! Woohoo! LOL. Gotta Love it!

Things are looking better...

It's about 4ish and I'm thinking of making a cup of coffee to get me through the witching hour.
The kids seem to be feeling better, as I haven't had to clean throw up, up for a few hours now. That's always a good thing. The little one's pink eye is looking better, so I think we're on the road to feeling better.

I just need a little cup of coffee, try and figure out dinner (we have the don't wants), and I think I'll perk up.

These little ones bring home all the fun little buggies from school. Got to love it. I just want them to feel good and I want to not have to clean up any more throw up. :)

XOXO

Wow.....I Never Cease To Amaze Myself!

It's been a crazy few days. I woke up this morning to sick babies. One has the tummy flew and the other has a serious case of pink eye. Needless to say, we're in for the day. I'm sitting here in jammies and sipping coffee needing a perk me up after a few crappy days.

My soul is feeling soooooo low. I know today is a new day and I'm starting it fresh. So, when I saw the "lover" quiz...I laughed. Ok, why not. Let's see what it says about this Jammie clad mommy.





Your Seduction Style: Ideal Lover





You seduce people by tapping into their dreams and desires.
And because of this sensitivity, you can be the ideal lover for anyone you seek.
You are a shapeshifter - bringing romance, adventure, spirituality to relationships.
It all depends on who your with, and what their vision of a perfect relationship is.

Just one of those days...

It's just one of those days. I feel crappy. I wanted to use one of my fun moods to say crappy, but it's a toilet picture and that is gross. So, sad it is. I just feel like life is kicking my ass right now. I'm not hiding anymore and expressing my real feelings have taken a toll.

I'm feeling lonely and sad. I hate the way this feels. It's not about me, though. I hope this gets better. Life goes on.

I'm a lucky girl...

I hope you all had a wonderful day yesterday...

After I spent the morning making cupcakes for the kindergarten class...I was off to the park with my boy. We spent some good Mommy son time and it was sweet.

That afternoon the girls got home and we looked through all their Valentine's from school. They were so cute. I remember back to the days of opening cards in elementary school and how fun it was. We just had so much fun. They loved it. They were so sugared up.

I made a wonderful Valentine Dinner and In walked the hubby with all my favorites. I received the most beautiful roses...every stem was perfect, the Notebook DVD....and yummy yummy chocolate. So, it was a great night.

I hope you all enjoyed it, too.
XOXO

Happy Valentine's Day...

Mmmmm....Valentine's Day.

I love this day. We spent today getting ready for tomorrow and celebrating a birthday. It's a birthday month, Valentine's and I love this month. Spring is around the corner. We spent the day working on Valentine cards for school tomorrow. I made birthday cake and the birthday boy wanted my special nachos for dinner.

I love pink roses.
I love romance.
I love sweet music.
I love the way my sweet children look when they make me Valentine cards.

Love is sweet.....

What is sleep?

I don't think I've slept well in weeks. I have this throat thing going that is just bothering me to no end. It's so bad that I can't sleep flat on my back at night without hacking. It's just horrible. Ugh!

I've been Web Mding all the symptoms (I'm a Web MD junkie) and I'm thinking it's Evensomething seriously more than allergies. The doctor thinks so, too. So, off to the EN&T I go. I just want to sleep. Surprisingly...I'm not what I would call a grump a lump. I'm a functioning Mommy.

The kids are in overdrive tonight running and jumping on each other. I just glanced over at them and one wants the other to swing him by his legs! The joys of my little ones. LOL.
Never ever a dull moment. That and it's 5:3o and this woman doesn't have a clue what's for dinner.
Bye for now...

I can see it now...

For those few of you that read my ramblings you know I NEVER get political. Here I go.

I can see it now. Just when Iraq is winding down and all the wives are finally breathing a sigh of relief.....and we think our husbands may be home more than 6 months in a row......here comes Iran.

Iran.

I don't feel good about it. I don't feel good at all. When will it end? Ugh. I've been living it for years now and it just gets worse. The deployments are never ending. My little ones just miss their dad. My husband is a Major in the USMC. Regardless of your war stance....we can all agree....this is horrible on the children.

Ugh...ok...there are reasons why I don't go into political mode. I have to hold myself back. I can be a screaming liberal on some things....and be conservative on others. LOL...that's why this chickie chooses all the fluff to go on about.

XOXO TTFN,

Ahhhhh.....this is where my blog is...

I guess I forgot where to find my Blog. LOL

My brain has been somewhere else lately and on so many things. I've had the birthday girl this week and it seems in our family it's your birthday all month. How lucky for them..lol! Boxes from the Grandmas arrive, followed by cards with money, and then dinner of their choice (Chuck E Cheese, of course.) So, it's been busy busy for the Mommy.

It's Super Bowl Sunday!!!! When did it become February?! I'll be cooking "Football Food" a little later. Everyone is looking forward to that. If any of you have had that Chile's Queso dip they serve...(the restaurant)...I make a better one. So, the kids are dying for it. Mommy is it time for football yet. LOL. Ugh....no. It's an all day thing I think today.

I see a little blue outside, too. Very nice! What a nice Sunday!
Happy Sunday!
