Another one???

Work was crazy today, matched the attitudes of the kids the past couple of days. I am also feeling crappy. Went to the minute clinic, I've got yet another sinus infection. Grrr. I swear I have one every couple of months. She said I should go to an ENT and could possibly need surgery. blah!!!

Tomorrow is V-Day and I hope it's a beautiful wonderful day. I used to be a little sour on the day, thinking all the card companies, florists rip you off, but you know a universal day of remembering to show how much you care to the people you love is awesome!! We get so busy in our everyday lives, that maybe we need that reminder. So I hope tomorrow you spend the day with people you love and let them know how much you care.

Where oh where did the day go?

The kids both woke up with very slight fevers, so I decided to keep them home today. Jackson had a sinus headache, so we stayed home for a bit, then went into town to take DH some lunch. Stayed for a bit to get a little work done, ran to the bank, post office, Publix and Kroger. My gosh, I was so worn out by the time I was done. The kids were acting like lunatics at the store. I did manage to do well with my coupons though, so that was good.

I just have no idea where the day went, holy cow it went quickly. We got home by 4:30, played outside for a bit, then Jackson let the cat out, so I had to get him back in, then dinner, more playtime, baths and now bed. I honestly think sometimes I make it too fun for the kids, but I want them to grow up with fond memories of having lots of fun. I hope they do, if not they are ungrateful little boogers. lol

Tomorrow is another day hopefully at home, then to Nashville for a Preds game. I'm totally exhausted.

Weekend fun

Man, those weekends fly by! I didn't work Thursday or Friday which was very nice. Saturday we had a another birthday party to go to. This one was pretty fun. It was in Arrington and was a pony party. It was at a stables and they had several ponies to ride. It pretty much went as I expected, little fearless Elena was in love at first sight and rode 3 different ponies and wanted to ride the rest as well. I thought she would like it, but boy does that girl love horses. I guess she got that from Grandma. Anyway, she was oh so precious in her little helmet riding the pony around the arena. Jackson, as expected, was scared and was way more interested in a little puppy someone had brought.

Saturday night, Jackson had his first non-family sleepover. It went really well, other than the friend having an "accident". I guess the boy was embarrassed, so he never told us. Great, found that out later, when the carpet and all the clothes on the floor were wet. Anyway, no problem, I cleaned things up and washed the clothes. That night I went to a party, while hubby watched the kids. I had an okay time. It was fun I guess, but my heart just wasn't into I guess.

Today was a pretty good day. Other than the fact that Jackson's friend's Mom was very late to pick him up, the kids had fun, we did some painting with pinecones and the day was just so gorgeous. I also had a nice lazy day of reading the Shopaholic book. I finished it!!! I haven't read a book in ages, and it was so nice. I liked it. I want to start trying to make time to read more. Hopefully I can get to bed a little early since I didn't go to bed until 3 AM and got up at 8 AM.

Thank goodness the day is almost over

Today started as a fantastic day. I dropped the kids at school, went to work for a bit, had a delicious lunch with a great friend, worked some more, picked kids up and decided to hit Target for a birthday gift for this weekend. I got an awesome parking space and was happy indeed. Then everything changed. We got into Target and I got the kids loaded in the cart, the fit from Elena had already begun. Geez, I can't go anywhere with that child without a fit, and trust me, we go EVERYWHERE, all my errands include my kids. So she wanted the baby cart where she could lay down. So I transfer everything over, we start to shop, things are okay. As we're about to check out, she says she needs a new diaper, that she had pooped. So we go change her diaper, thankfully just a pee pee, she gets confused about whether it's pee pee or poop. Anyway, we check out, gift receipt takes FOREVER to print. So I get the kids outside, it's freezing, and I can't find my keys. Grrr. I look everywhere, in my purse, diaper bag, reusable shopping bag, nowhere. I even checked the car, just in case I had locked them in there, which knew that wasn't a possibility, since I locked it with the key fob. So I go to Customer Service to see if keys have been turned in, nope. I start checking every cart, nope. I just knew I must have left it in a cart and as I'm checking every cart, and thinking I'm gonna have to get DH to come to Target to let us in the car, a girl comes running up to me from Customer Service, my keys had gotten returned. Apparently I had left them in my cart when I was transferring the kids, and the woman had thought they were her keys, put them in her pocket and shopped for a while, then noticed they weren't hers when she went to her car. Thank God!!!!

So then I stopped by McD to return a movie and get some food for the kids and a tea for hubby, and the lady hands me the tea and the lid falls off and tea goes EVERYWHERE, including my floor board, shoes, pants, windshield, dashboard, you name it. They also get the sandwich wrong as usual . So they inform me the lids don't fit the cups, give me two mediums instead of a large, wish they had told me the lid wasn't on when I got the darn drink. So I drive away, and I notice they didn't give me the coffee I ordered either. Back to McD, have to go in, since there's a wait at the drive thru. Fortunately the lady was super nice and apologetic and said we would get free meals next visit.

Granted not the worst day, it was just one thing after another. I'm still having issues with my meds not working, need to find time to go back to dr, and my "new" crappy phone
sucks, and I'm just very frustrated by lots of crap going on in my life and I'm just having a very hard time right now.

What a beautiful weekend!!!!

The weekend is almost over, and while I'm sad, it's been fun. Saturday morning, I took Jackson to a birthday party. It was a lot of fun, and it gave hubby some good one on one time with Elena at home. The Jackson and I ran some errands and soon enough it was time to go out with the girls. I had a great time, found a new fave drink ( Tequila Sunrise), it didn't knock me on my butt like expected, but it was tasty. We went bowling afterwards and even though I am horrible at bowling, it was lots of fun.

Sunday I woke up with a horrible sinus thing, still feel a little ick, but not too horrible. It was a be-yooo-tiful day out today!!!!! We all played outside and it was so nice. Hard to believe it's Feb. 1st. Oh and I received a Secret Valentine gift this weekend. It really brightened an already great day, and I was so happy to be thought of. A nice little scrapbook and some candy. Yum.

Tomorrow is work, kids at school, and errands after work. Blah!!
