First night down!!

So it was a great first night home with the puppy!!! We got in our bed at 11PM and I laid her at the bottom on her blanket and she slept till 6AM!!! I set my phone alarm for 1AM and 3:30AM but when it went off at those times she was sleeping!!! She had moved but just normal shifting and rolling!! So when my alarm went off at 6AM she was awake and I took her out and she peed right away!!! Yay!!! I let her romp around for a bit thinking she might poop or pee again but she didn't so we came back it. We weren't in for more then 5 minutes when I caught her pooping on my office floor!! Argh!!! I scooped her up and we went back out but she didn't do anything!! So I brought her back in and I scrubbed the floor a bit and then we went back to bed! We were there till about 8AM. Then I made the kids pancake for breakfast and we discussed what name we wanted: it was down to Tess, Ellie and Scarlett. So we put them in a bowl and I drew out SCARLETT!!!! So we named her Scarlett Grace!!! Then daddy left for work and I made a menu and grocery list and the 3 boys and I left at 9AM to go grocery shopping - it was hell on earth and the longest 2 hours of my life!!! Boo!!! We got home at about 11:30AM. I made lunch and then I worked on putting old clean laundry away and then washing/drying/folding/putting away new clean laundry! In the afternoon we ran (with Scarlett) to Petco and then the rest of the day was just spent hanging out, watching Scarlett sleep. Taking her out to pee and play when she woke up! 

She was so good today and peed every time we took her out and pooped outside twice! She only had the one poop accident and then later (after dinner) she had a pee accident in the kitchen. We had tacos for dinner. I put the boys to bed at 9PM and daddy came home at about 9:45PM and brought us Taco Bell!! Then it was bed time for the rest of us!!! Hope we have another good night!!

Sunday

Daddy was up and out the door early, he had to go to Ohio to work Marco's (BOO)! Still no swimming today because it still cool and windy! I washed some towels today and read a lot! The phone rang at about 4PM and R answers it, it's my Aunt Verna and she proceeded to tell me how much we are missed and how we should come over next weekend for the reunion and blah blahblah blah for like 30 minutes!! Ugh!!! I was so pissed!! She mentioned she saw/talked to dad at church and I don't know if he said something or what but ugh....just leave me the freak along!!! So I was in such a bad mood that I decided the kids and I needed to go to Mickey's for dinner !!! Hahaha!! Then it was home to just hang out till bed time!!

Hello Monday, we meet again!

So today was beautiful, a bit humid but still beautiful! Once I was up I got busy getting some stuff done. I finally put away all the boys clothes that have been piling up in my room. I made the boys clean their room and then I swept it. I got laundry started - towels and my clothes. I had the girls clean the living room and then I swept the hall and then vacuumed the livingroom! Then I sent the kids outside and I FINISHED Gman's album!! Woo Hoo!! Then I sorted all of CJ's photos so I can get started on his album. The kids got in the pool at about 11AM and I held off lunch till almost 1:30PM - it was just mac and cheese. Then at about 2:30PM our land lord showed up and stayed for almost an hour - I sat outside with the kids so they wouldn't bother him and he proceeded to whack the shit out of the hedges!! Kids got back in the pool and I messed around in my office until I grabbed a shower at about 5PM and then headed out to take the kids to McDonald's for dinner! 

Then I hit JoAnn's and they had a ton of clearance so I spent about $20 bucks and then we headed to WalMart to get my photos, some milk and some eggs! Then we ran through the drive thru for ice cream! We got home and daddy was here!! But we left shortly after that because he had to return some movies, while we were there I picked out a ton to watch over the next few days. Then we headed back home, it was almost 8:30PM so the boys messed around for just a bit before T put them to bed! I messed around in the office - trying out some of the new goodies I bought and now after I submit this I'm gonna go put a movie in, fold some clothes and then hit the hay!!!

I'm sleepy!!

Ugh, I totally didn't want to get out of bed today!! But I finally got up and started my laundry for the day. Then I messed around in my office for a while and finally sat down to make a menu and grocery list - but it was so nice and I wanted the kids to be able to swim that I didn't go shopping.

After lunch the kids all went outside and swam till we left for the library at 2:45PM. The girl's went to a teen reading program thing and made GAK and the boys and I hung out down stair!! Once back home the kids got back in the pool while I made rice krispy treats and pizza for dinner! Then we all ate out on the deck! I ran to Wal Mart at about 7PM to get milk, some pool chemicals and the stuff to make GAK at home. Once I got back the girls helped the boys make their very own GAK! The had a ball!!! Then it was a quick soak in the tub for Gman and then bed time for the boys at 9PM!!! It's now 20 till 10 and I'm headed into my air conditioned room to READ!! T is in Ohio just for the day so I have the bed all to myself - he'll be home tomorrow after a normal work day!

Ugh it was so humid today

 - it was terrible!! I was so sticky all day!! CJ and I did do much today - I cleaned the kitchen and worked on laundry! S came home and needed shit to bake cookies so I texted T and asked him to bring it home! I made burgers and grilled them for dinner - they were a mess but tasted good!!

Our last Monday of school

 - just 5 short days till summer vacation! I was up at 6am and got lunched packed and then T and I headed back to bed - when the alarm went off at 7:30AM T let me stay in bed and he got up and fed the boys and finished their lunches then he put them on the bus and then got ready and left for work - it was so nice to sleep in a bit!! Once I was up I got my laundry started. My kitchen cleaned and the living room straighten up a bit! I got CJ lunch at noon and then I showered! T got home at about 1:25PM and I left for the school. Today was Gman's kindergarten end of year party! I was doing a photo booth for the kids! I set up my station and then as the kids worked on their craft in the class room I pulled them out one by one and took their photos - they had a lot of fun!! Then we headed outside and they played a few games, had a snack, pulled the strings on a pinata (Gman pulled the "winning" ribbon) and a water balloon toss!! 

Then we cleaned up and I headed home! I got to work editing the kids photos and getting them ready to print. I uploaded the to WalMart.com. Then a made dinner - french fries and grilled hot dogs!! After dinner I ran into town to return daddy's movies and pick up the prints from Wal Mart - more then half of them sucked and I ended up just re-printing them here at home! *sigh* Then I cut out the frames on my silhouette and then put them together. Got the boys in the shower. Put them to bed at 8PM and daddy got home at about 8:30PM. I spent the night working on project life week 20 and daddy had to run back out to town to pick up something from his Indiana store and he brought me home a peanut butter banana fluffer nutter - hahaha or what ever it called! Now I'm gonna hit submit and hit the hay - it's almost 11PM and I am beat!!

Happy Hump Day!

Such a busy morning/afternoon! Our morning routine was pretty normal and easy because I made the mac & cheese last night so I was back in bed quick! Then wasn't much sleeping though so I was up at just a little after 7AM and in the shower! Then the morning with the boys was pretty normal. T needed to leave by 8PM for work so it was just me and the boys after that! I got Little man and Gman on the bus and then CJ and I hit the road for my doctors appointment! We got there and got right in and saw Dr. D right away! He had my blood work and since I stopped dieting and exercising and gained back all my weight (50lbs), my cholesterol was back up again!! BOO!!! But he was happy I was back to eating right and exercising so he'll test it again in 6 months! Then we rushed back to town to met Krista, Chase and Elle at the library! The kids listened to a story, sang some songs and then got to plant a flower! 

Then they played for a bit before we left to head to McDonald's for lunch! Jenna met us there too and sat for a while with us! Then at about 1:00 PM it was time to go! CJ and I hit JoAnn's and Michael's and then headed home - it was after 2PM! Then the rest of the afternoon I worked on laundry and also worked on getting some paper work for the 3rd grade party ready! Then it was brinner for dinner (egg sandwiches) and then daddy was home by like 6PM!! After I helped got all the boys showered I messed around online a bit and now I'm writing this and then gonna hit the hay!!

Monday, again!

Up and at them early today to start another week! Once I had everyone out the door I sorted some laundry and then went down and exercised. Once done I started laundry and then cleaned my office. I spent all day catching up on project life and working on laundry! Kids started coming home and Gman brought his grand prize home - a pool pass, but only for him! Sheesh! Then I made spaghetti and meatballs for dinner. Started the kids with showers at 7pm. Daddy came home shortly after! Once the kids were in bed I had T massage my lower back and he said the muscle was a huge knot so I laid on the heating pad and read for a while. That helped and then he rubbed it a bit more and then I went straight to bed!

TGIF

R woke up sick and with a fever so no school for her today! T brought home Gatorade for her before he left town. I worked on laundry all day - like I did 8 loads of laundry!! T passed his 4th kidney stone. He was suppose to hear from work today about his "promotion" and they didn't call until like 3PM and it was not good news!! The owner wants to interview a few more people!!! UGH!!!!!!!!!!!!! So tired of this company jerking us around!!! So upset for my hubby who works his ass off and just gets pushed aside all the time!!! He had to work late tonight and didn't get home till after 9PM!!!

Is it Friday yet!?!?!

Hooray it's Friday!!! It was a normal "school morning", although CJ was quite fussy at breakfast and really only ate a few bites of his sausage muffin and about an hour later I found out why!! I found him in my bed under the covers whining and with a temp of 102!!! 

I gave him some medicine and he soon fell asleep and took a nice little nap!! We had been invited out for lunch at the Thai place but obviously I guess we weren't headed there!! Boo!! I worked on Gman's paper album most of the day and did a bit of towel laundry! Then as the kids started coming home, Gman started complaining that he wasn't feeling well, well he developed "a cough" a few days ago and sure enough he was running a fever too!! Thankfully they weren't too whining as long as I kept them medicated!! Although they were driving me nutso by the time 8PM rolled around and I was a little upset that T wasn't home yet to help with them! Ugh!! It was a long day!!!

Field trip day!

Finally a day that daddy didn't have to leave early!! It was so nice, I prepped a few of the stuff for the kid's lunches last night so I didn't have much to do this morning. After I got done with the girls I headed back to bed and when my alarm went off at 7:30AM I got up and got straight in the shower!! Then I got out and daddy make me some frozen waffles for breakfast and then I finished up the boy's lunches!! T got the 2 older boys on the bus and then CJ and I hung around for about 30 minutes because he didn't have "real" school he had a field trip today!! So we left at 9:00AM and I dropped his tuition off at the school. I ran by Giant Eagle and picked up T's medicine and then CJ and I headed to S's School of Dance and waited for others to start arriving...well I was messing on my phone and not really paying attention and finally at 9:23AM I was like "WHY IS THERE NO ONE ELSE HERE!?!?!" - so I pulled up the school's newsletter real quick and SHIT!!!! we were at the wrong dance place!!! We had like 6 minutes to book it across town to SH's Dance Studio!!! Ack!!! We made it one minute late but that wasn't too bad!!! CJ was fine and having fun for about the first 10 minutes and then he started crying and crying!!! I took him to the bathroom and then made him go back in but he just sat their beside Mrs. Solbowleski and wouldn't participate!!! Finally about the last 5 minutes he did!! 

I was so pissed at him!!! Then we ran to Michael's and then Wal Mart and then to McDonald's for lunch!! Then it was home where I worked on Gman's album and a little bit of laundry! I made spaghetti for dinner and then T came home at about 6:30 - 7PM and brought me all kinds of sweet treats!! Now I'm done here and I'm gonna go head to me bed and snuggle under my warm blanket and eat cake and ice cream!!!

I am cold!

Let's see...After I got everyone out of the house I started gathering my laundry since I was two day behind!! I got that going and then I started on my week nine insert for project life! T and I texted back and forth all morning because he was having lots of blood when he p.e.e.d. and I told him he should definitely call the doctors! They said it's perfectly normal and as long as he can still p.e.e. there doesn't matter how much blood is in there!!! Jeesh!! After the kids came home I started dinner - egg sandwiches and sausage, so good!! Then I crawled in to my bed with my heated blanket on because I was freezing!!! Daddy left Altoona at a little after 4PM, so he was home pretty early and that was so nice!! He could sit and relax a bit before we had to bath and put the kids to bed!! Once they were in bed at 8PM, I crawled back into bed and actually went right to sleep I was so utterly tired!!!

Cold as a ...........

Brrr, a seriously cold morning - pretty sure it was in the negatives when we woke up. I even checked for a delay before I woke the girls up, but no such luck!! We got the girls fed and their lunches packed and then T and I both actually stayed up - him doing some stuff for work and me messing on the computer - my ACDSee has been acting up and I'm about to punch it in it's virtual junk!!! Then the boys got up and we got them fed and dressed and lunches made and then T needed to leave at about 8AM, so I got the boys on the bus myself and then drove into town to drop CJ off! I came home and sat in front of my computer and worked on gathering and editing photos the whole 2 hours! Ran back into town and picked CJ up and we came home and I made him two egg sandwiches for lunch! Hahaha!! Then the rest of the day I worked on laundry and photos! When I went out at 4PM to get the boys off the bus it was so terrible out - wind blowing, snow swirling - terrible! Then we came in and I had S make dinner -homemade pizza- while I got a shower and got ready to go. Little man, Gman and I have the mother/son banquet at school tonight and we have to be there at 6PM. It was OK, the food was good but it really wasn't a enough for $10 bucks - just like a 2 inch chunk of sub, pasta salad and macaroni salad. The entertainment was ok too, lots of animals but it was kind of chaotic because it was just like 2 ladies. It was over at 7:50PM and we came home and rushed them through showers and into bed! Then T and I sat down and ate ravioli and now we are both in our room and both on our computers! But I'm closing mine soon and then I'm gonna read till I fall asleep!! Which I'm hoping is real quick!!

Ugh!!

So I was totally wishing for a 2 hour delay today, but no go! I was so grumpy when my alarm went off and I wanted to stay in BED!!! But I got up and T made pancakes and I packed lunches and then we went back to bed!! Hahaha!!! Second alarm went off at 7:30AM and we got up and went through the same routine to get the boys ready!! I jumped in the shower real quick before I finished up their lunches - believe me it was much needed!! Then we got the boys on the bus and C and I headed off to his school!! Once I dropped him off I headed to Wal Mart to get pull ups because even thought I got C up at 11PM to pee (and he peed), he still woke up wet and I hate washing sheets, to pick up soap, pull ups and milk!! Then I headed home and woeked on laundry and the kid's valentines!! Then I headed out at 11AM to get C. Once I got him picked up we went and picked up daddy to go to Mickey's for our weekly lunch date!! Daddy was just working in town today because he has to go to New Brighton to work pizza. So C and I came back home and he played his DS, I continued laundry and finished Gman and C's valentines!!

Gman's valentine's!

Woo Hoo and I started Little man's! Then I started scrapping some project life - trying to catch up. Then came dinner (spaghetti/meatballs), more scrapping and then it was time to shower the boys and get them into bed! Then it was back into the office for more scrapping and then daddy came home at about 9:30PM. Now I'm typing this and once I hit submit I'm headed to my bed to snuggle down under my electric blanket and catch a few zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz's!!!

Snow Day!

Today started out with the phone ringing at 5:30AM when the school's automated system called us to tell us school was closed, well T didn't make it to the phone on time so it they called back 10 minutes later!! Hahaha!! We kind of figured it was coming because we had a storm during the night: ice and snow!! Boo!! So we all got to laze in bed this morning and just relax. The boys had cereal for breakfast. I had frozen waffles and daddy got up and "shoveled" the drive way (he used the snow blower) but it was slow going because the snow was so wet and heavy that it kept clogging the pipe and he had to keep stopping and clear it out!! Hahaha!! He finally got done and got ready for work and left! I finally woke the girls up at 10AM and told them they had like 5 minutes to eat breakfast!! Then the rest of the day I spent cleaning my office.

Cutting box tops. Cleaning out my email. Cleaning up my download folder in ACDSee. I had S clean the living room and I also worked on laundry off and on all day! I had to wash C's sheets because we have decided to try and night train him - we started that about 2 nights ago, tonight is the 3rd night. The first night he woke himself up and we took him pee so he was dry that morning but the 2nd night he fell asleep early and when we tried to get him to go pee he wailed! So I just put him to bed and then when we went to bed we tried to get him up again and again he wailed so I decided I'd rather wash sheets then listen to him cry, well he woke up wet this morning and then I remembered how much I hated washing and changing sheets!!! Hahaha!! Then I also washed Little man and Gman's clothes. The kids were mostly good - the boys of course fought but that's nothing new!! I made bacon scrambled eggs for dinner and everyone had a toasted peanut butter bagel. Then after dinner I finished cutting out the rest of the kid's valentines stuff and then started gluing bags together! At 6:30PM I started getting the boys showered and bathed and as 8PM rolled around I got them in bed - which went pretty smoothly! Then back in my office to finish gluing - I got all of Gman's owl bags glued so I can finishes them up tomorrow!!

Daddy came home about 9:15PM and brought me a meatball sub from Sheetz!! Now I'm done writing this and I'm gonna hit the hay!! It's been a long day!!!

Well today was only a half way lazy day!!

I did still lay in bed all day and finished watching TWD to the point that where T stopped (so now we can watch it together), I watched a movie called Oblivion, I watched the movie The Truman Show and I started watching some episodes of Extreme Cheapskates....but in all the laying around I did get all my laundry for today washed, dried, folded and put away - that included my clothes, the whites and 3 loads of towels!! I made the kids chicken nuggets and tater tots for dinner and finally daddy came home at 7:57PM just in time to put the kids to bed! Then after he ate and did a few other things we started watching TWD!!! Then it was 11PM bed time for us!!!

2 hour delay!

Another 2 hour delay today so another day of sleeping in, YAY!!! We were up and moving around 8AM. I got all the lunches packed while T made waffles for breakfast! The girls got off to school and T got off to work and it was just me and the three boys! I farted around in my office cleaning things up and then at 10:30AM it was time to get the boys outside! Got them on the bus and spent the rest of the late morning/early afternoon working on cutting out valentines with my silhouette and working on laundry! Then C and I left the house just before 3PM to head to EP to help with Market Day. 

We were only there about 30 minutes and then we left, I was gonna head to McDonald's to get a frappe but realized half way into town I forgot my phone at the school! Ugh!! Headed back to get it and then just headed home! Got my meatloaf mixed up and in the oven and then laid around a bit and read! Finished up dinner at about 5:30PM. Daddy got home at 6PM and had brought me and him Thai food! I ate about half of it and then at 6:45PM it was time for me and S to head out the door for her band concert! It was nice and she did an awesome job (even if she said it sounded terrible) and we were home by 8:30PM! Now I just got done surfing Pinterest for a hulk cake, emptying my mail box and now I'm headed to bed to read for a bit!! I need to get my cozy on!!

Finally, I'm finally feeling better today!!

No more stomach pains, no more nausea and I was able to eat and drink all day long!!! Thank jesus!!! Well it was back to work for daddy today, we were all so sad to see him go!! I started the morning right off with getting my laundry going! I worked on it all day and got all the boy's done, mine done, the whites done and one load of towels! I also got all my Christmas photos edited, uploaded and printed at Wal Mart! I got almost caught up on all my Project life digital scrapping and I got my blog all up to date too!!! The kids played all day! Them making messes and we trying to keep up with cleaning them up or making them clean them up! They did fight for a while and it was driving me nuts - I hate fighting just to fight!!! They played with their nerf guns and their remote control cars - which C promptly broke every single one of the antennas! Ugh!!! I made a quick and easy dinner of mac & cheese, nuggets and fries! Then it was just a battle to control the animals as I waited for bed time! I got the boys to brush their teeth and had them in bed by 8PM!!! They went right to sleep!! Daddy came strolling in at 9:10PM and then when the girls came to see him I sent them right to bed!!! Now he just took a shower and is in the kitchen rummaging for something to eat. I'm writing and as soon as I hit publish I think we are gonna hit the bed, watch a bit of TV and then drift off to dream land!!!

Hello glorious Sunday!!!

I'm so happy to see you!! I am still feeling like crap, but if I keep myself doped up on Advil and Tylenol it's not to bad!! I haven't taken any in a while and right now everytime I cough my ears ache!!! Daddy is still sick too - he was actually running a fever earlier this evening!! Boo!!! So I spent most of the day working on my Christmas album! The kids and I did work on out activity today: Wooden Block Rudolph ornament!!

It needed painted and dried and then sanded and then glue together - it took us most of the day but they are so cute, they were worth it!!! We had left over turkey and fixings for lunch - delicious!!! Then daddy put the pork roast and potatoes in the oven and cooked them on low all afternoon, the result was freaking fantastic!!! I devoured the potatoes they were out of this world!!! The kids were good all day - playing and watching Despicable Me 2! After dinner I worked on getting the kids showered and pajamad up! Then I made some hard boiled eggs for lunches tomorrow and some energy bites! I also through a load of towels in the washer - the only laundry I didn't get done this week!!! Now I'm going to finish this up and I think I'm gonna stop scrapping for the night and go crawl in my bed and read till I fall asleep!! I have a pretty uneventful week coming up tomorrow and I am totally looking forward to it!!!

I woke up feeling like a new woman!!

Man, my throat is still kind of sore and I am still coughing, but at least I could function!! So happy it's Saturday and I have nothing I HAVE to do!!! I did do some stuff today: like I did several loads of laundry, cleaned the living room a bit, edited some photos, ran to Wal Mart and picked them up and worked on my Christmas album!! Daddy did a bit of grocery shopping this morning. The kids and I made sugar cookies, cut them out, baked them and iced them - it was torture!!!

Daddy cooked up a delicious turkey dinner with all the fixings!!! It was just a great relaxing Saturday - even though I did lots of stuff!! Now I'm getting ready to shut off my Christmas music that has been playing all day and go snuggle down in my bed and catch some Zzzzzzzzzzzz's. I have another lazy day ahead of me tomorrow!!
