overlooked

it's amazing how the second child gets overlooked. i was ordering some pictures of the kids and boy there are a lot less of naestra than alarielle. despite your best intentions not to let that happen, boy does it. i think it's just cause you have no time like the first one to sit and watch them sleep and take pictures of them smiling and sucking, now you're always chasing after someone. i can't imagine how much the 3rd one must get jipped. now it's off to feed the kids lunch and finish washing my milk soaked sheets. kinda gross waking up in a puddle of warm milk, especially your own.

a whole week

i can't believe it's been a whole week since i last blogged. and i'd like to regale you with tales of interest and wonderment, but I've seriously just been running errands for a week. i mean it's meant a lot of shopping, but not all fun stuff. though i did get new dining room chairs for 19. 84 each. nice. they're a lovely charcoal grey low back parsons chair. mmm comfy. oh and our truck won't start. again. so might have to look at getting a newer one. yuck . more payments. weeeeeeeeeee. living debt free is so over ratted. the weather here is cruddy and it makes me wanna jump the next plane to anywhere, or just jump in the van and take off for a few days,come back when the weather is warm. i get to work today and tomorrow and then do hair all day at home on Thursday. always fun. just more to do in the day, which is alright. just feeling very tired and worn out. the song of any mom. so i'm off to unload the dishwasher and finish the laundry. then get ready to got o work. away we trod!

is it spring yet?

well, it's deffinatly spring in my mind, too bad the weather isn't going along with my hopefull wishes. i've got the spring fever to clean and move furnature and redecorate. pulled out my capri's yesterday while brock and i rearanged our bedroom. dunno if i'll be able to wear them any time soon but i'm hopeful.

lazy moring

it's a quite moring around here. the kids are happily watching garfiled, and there's no crying or fighting. that in itself is the nice part of the day. brock and i are headed out for coffee tonight as a replacement for our failed date on sunday. not the same as dinner and a movie, but we're going out to dinner tomorrow for my mom's birthday. mmmmm greek.

brock's taken the van to work the past two days so i'm kida housebound. the weather hasn't really been nice enough to wonder outside. but apryl and penn and the kids are supposed to be coming to work out this afternoon.that should break up the day.

on the WOOHOO side of life. my girlfriend finally sold her house, 5 years after the divorce, that her ex has been living in. so yay God!

but i guess i'm off to play playdoh. yay..........

happy anniversary?

so it was our 7th anniversary yesterday, so we went to see "wild hogs" and go to the Keg for dinner. we had gotten ourselves some lovely Starbucks and just sat down to the movie when brocks phone vibrated and it was our in laws who were babysitting and now locked out of the house. so off we go back to spruce to let them in and order pizza and rent a movie. not quite the romantic night we had planned, but they promised us a rain check. i thought it was kinda funny really.
Saturday night we went to a Thai restaurant for dinner for Brandon's b-day but ended up waiting at his apartment for half an hour cause he thought we were meeting at 5 not 4, then he went to the wrong place to meet up with us and blah blah blah led to us eating dinner and hour late with cranky children. that was fun.
what a crazy weekend, but a few of us are off to take the kids swimming so i gotta go squeeze myself in to a swimsuit i haven't worn in 4 years. ugh!

march

have i ever mentioned how much i love my in laws? they called up and just offered to babysit and pay for a night out for our anniversary. how great is that? no begging or imposing, just a great gift from loving family. can't ask God for much more than that. also i went to winners with my mom this morning and she bought me 2 new frying pans for our anniversary gift. i know it sounds as exciting as getting a shovel, but i'm thrilled, sometimes it's nice to not have to pay for the mundane day to day things. plus one of them's a super cool fun red pattern. yep a designer frying pan.
but the kids are up so i'm off.

light at the end of the tunnel

so it's been almost 3 days with out puke, and kids are getting back to their parent torturing selves. nice to see them annoying us like normal. though nasestra is still trying to push out another tooth, with one more coming right behind. 8 months, 8 teeth. nutty kid.
so it's one week exactly until my 7th anniversary. that's just nuts. though i find it crazier that we've been together for 11 years. still NO idea what were gonna do to celebrate. right now i'm just too worn to come up with and plan something. thought i refuse to not celebrate. that just seems like a slippery slope to future lack of recognition in all aspects of life.so i suppose i'll come up with something last minute.
i'm listening to weird al's polkarama. boy if you ever need a smile, i doubt there's any mood you could be in and not at least giggle at this song. yay for weird al.
so the prestige was fantastic, never seen a movie with so many twists in it. watched man of the year last night, not what i expected. or as p.j. said "it was half of what i expected". not bad just not exactly what i thought it would be. i still have to watch superman returns and thank you for smoking. i'll get there eventually.
well i'm off to sync some songs on to my mp3 player. i'm out.

just kill me 2

so just when the world looked brighter, alarielle started to puke again, so naestra thought she'd join in. i've decided to give up parenting and join the circus.thank the Lord for a strong support group that bring you food with out asking if you need it so you don't have to cook, or the gift of laundry soap when your kids have everything you own in the wash. so far today looks safe. no puking yet. but i'm waiting with baited breath. sigh.
in lighter news i rented 6 movies last night, since i knew i'd be house bound for a few more days. watched Stranger Than Fiction last night. it was pretty neat, not your typical Hollywood plot so that was nice. tonight it's man of the year and the prestige. i'm very excited.
so i'm off to try to make my house not smell like puke. WWWWWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!
