Blogging will continue to be light

Blogging will continue to be light for a while. I seem to have come
out of remission for my diseases and I am in a lot of pain and have a
lot of fatigue. Typing is quite a chore, so I am not going to be
doing an awful lot of it. I do hope to be calling my Rheumy on
Monday and seeing what can be done. I hope to be feeling better soon
and blogging more again.

OMG! Quick Somebody Hide Me!!

All I wanted to do was take a shower and get dressed. Seemed simple
enough. Except for one complication: Without Little Lifesucking
Creatures joining me. That part was just too much to ask for.

As soon as the shower shut off, the pounding at the door began.
Ignoring doesn't help, they are smart boogers, they know you're still
in there. Answering through the door isn't any good either, they want
that door open. Then you finally open it and they really didn't want
anything anyway.

With just one it's pretty easy to bribe but, you hit two and it's
like an army,you can't fight them off. Then while I'm getting dressed
I'm also supposed to be DJ and find all their favorite songs on my
laptop. Just what I was hoping to do while trying to get dressed.

Okay, i got them to leave for a few minutes. Maybe I can get through
drying my hair and makeup without so much help or having to duct tape
any children to the mail box :)

He is going to school tomorrow, I don't care if he coughs up a lung,
he can carry it with him.

They Went Wii, Wii, Wii All The Way Home

Yes, we finally got our Wii last night. We were in Potsdam, Rob came
into the store to look for me, he call Maseena at the same time they
had 1 left and would hold it for 30 minutes for us. So we went right
out there to get it. The kids were just bouncing. They stayed up a
bit while Rob got it together, but weren't able to play much before
bed. Tabitha played a little before school. She liked surfing the
web on it. Carter will come home first on the bus and play then. We
also purchased Zelda with it. So now we have the Sports game it
comes with Zelda and Call of Duty 3, that Carter received for
Christmas and was finally able to open last night. He has been
looking at that case everyday waiting and waiting to open it as soon
as he could. So, this morning as the bus was pulling up I was given
strict instructions. "Mom, Don't play the Wii while we are gone at
school!" "Yes, Children. I'll try to find something else to do."

One Last Merry Christmas

On Sunday we went to Russell to have one last Merry Christmas. Rob's
Father and family live there. The children were all excited to still
be able to open Christmas presents so far after Christmas. We had a
lovely Turkey dinner with all the fixins. It was yummy. And
Chocolate pudding with strawberry sauce for desert. The kids were
all very happy with their presents as were Rob and I. We get to go
shopping. Just in time for me as I am losing weight and in need of
new clothing.

Tweens can Smell out a Cell phone Anywhere

Tabitha had basketball practice today, I let her borrow my cell phone
incase she got out early. I was the only one home with the other 2
kids so I didn't want to have to stay with her and didn't want her to
have to sit and wait for me.
I guess in the locker room while changing, as soon as she opened her
locker the scent of the cell phone got out. Every girl in the locker
room was at her locker drooling over her pink cell phone. Tabitha
needed two girls to guard her to get her dressed and out with her
cell phone intact. Something about phones and tweens. Especially
cell phones, and my pink one which makes it even more irresistible.

Chloe's First Day of DayCare

Chloe did so well at DayCare. Drop off was better than Daddy wanted
it to be. She settled in well and played with others. They said she
had a great day for a first day. We are so happy. But like I said
she is the most independent of my 3 and I am not surprised she did so
well. Even when Dad picked her up, she said hi and was happy to see
him, but didn't run right over to go with him. She just kept on
playing.

I also had a nice day alone in the house for a change. I think I
will be able to get a lot accomplished with Chloe gone for 2 days a
week. And hopefully they will encourage her to use the potty much
more than we can.

Look Out DayCare, Here Comes Chloe!!

Chloe starts DayCare tomorrow, just 2 days a week. Giving me time to myself, to pay bills, find the house mid week, and just have me time. Also, giving Chloe some her time with other children and adults. Getting her ready for Pre-K next fall. She is very attached to me and needs to find some space of her own. I know she will grow to love it, as in her own way she is my most independent child. She is just so use to momma always being around. Also, maybe someone else can teach her some manner and I hope the words weinie butt and stupid head are not heard from her, at least not too soon.

New Year

For New Year's we always stay home. The kids wanted to stay up. But it was Rob and I who end up staying up. I took a nap earlier in the night, Carter fell asleep after 10, Tabitha fell asleep after that. We put Chloe to bed at 9:30 hoping she would sleep in. Just before midnight we woke up Tabitha and tried to wake Carter with no luck. So, the three of us watched the ball drop and drank our apple-grape sparkling juice.

Next morning Carter comes in crying. "You didn't wake me up, I missed the ball dropping" We told him we tried. He even sat up twice, but couldn't stay awake. He is such a deep sleeper. Soon after Chloe was up, the dogs wanted out and so our day started. Of course, earlier than we really wanted it to.

Happy New Year to everyone!
