A Quick Stop In

It's late and I'm exhausted from a busy day at home.  I just thought I would stop in real quick.  Ben and Rylie have been sick this weekend and now I can't tell if I'm coming down with it or if I'm having other issues.  I have had an awful headache for days.  Now I'm having pains that are like menstrual cramps only worse.  It's excruciating and if it doesn't get any better, I may be calling my OB.

We got up this morning and I started cleaning the house.  The house wasn't too bad, but there was a lot of little things that needed to be done.  I put on my apron, and to work I went, sweeping, washing dishes, etc.

The kids were snuggling up Harley.  Ben has been afraid to hold her because of her claws so I taught him the correct way to hold her and he was surprised it was so easy.  He's so gentle.


We recently moved our bedroom downstairs into the kids room, and the kids into their old playroom.  It's working out better for us since our kids are so little.  It definitely makes us all feel better.  The screen on the kids TV went out.  We kept their TV in our room since they use their iPads most of the time.  No TV in the bedroom sucks for me since I have a tendency to be up at weird hours, with the kids.

This afternoon, Shawn moved our TV from upstairs, down to our new bedroom.  Thank goodness!!!


I still have so much decorating to do in our bedroom, but I have to find the time to get crafty.

Today was my nephew, Payton's, 1st birthday.  We were so excited to go to his party until yesterday when both Ben and Rylie came down with whatever this awful thing is.  They have headaches, sore throats, and upset stomachs.  They are sleeping a lot though, so hopefully they get over it quickly.

Shawn's sister moved today.  I'm excited for her and her new place and can't wait to see it as soon as everyone is healthy again.  His parents were helping her move and then stopped by to check on the kiddos.  We had a nice little tea time where I was able to use my new tea pot I bought with a gift card I got for my birthday.  I was so excited.


Dinner was just kind of a throw something together thing, since we weren't originally planning on being home for dinner, nobody felt well, and we had a great lunch of chocolate chip pancakes around 2ish.  I have to tell you, my husband makes great chocolate chip buttermilk pancakes. YUM!  For dinner we just did a box mac and cheese for the kids and Shawn and I ate his diet meals.

Shawn is still in school.  All of his classes are online and everything for the week is due on Sunday nights so he had school assignments to do.  He went out to the table on the front patio to do school and the kids and I came into my room.  I set a pallet on the floor for the kids and let them pick a movie (Hannah Montana) and we laid in here watching it before bed.


Now the kids lay there sleeping.  Shawn will move them to their beds when he comes to bed later. I need to head to bed, since I'm sure they'll be up bright and early.

Blogmas 2014 - Day 8 What Is On Your Wish List This Year

Oh my goodness, I'm really pretty easy to buy for.  I have pretty much everything a girl could want.  I mean of course I have a few things but I'm not really counting on anything because I already got a huge gift of the new car. I really love scarves, especially infinity scarves right now.  I'm beyond obsessed.   Fun gadgets, appliances, etc for my kitchen are always a win for me as well as cookbooks and decorations.  I'm so into all of it, and it's the best go to gift idea for me. A nice pair of rain boots or wellies.  I just bought some for all of my kids for Christmas, and I've been dying for my own for years. Vera Bradley!  I'm so in love with Vera Bradley.  I'd like a bigger purse, as well as a library tote bag. And honestly I've not asked for any of even these things because what I want more than anything else in the world, is our own house.  I want to buy a house for my kids to grow up in an...

Petty

This evening our sweet little Petty went to Kitty Heaven.  The cancer had spread to her brain, causing her to have odd behaviors.  The tumor in her mouth, or the side of her face, had pulled down her ear canal on that side and caused her eye to twitch, which the vet said caused constant vertigo.  The cancer had also spread to her intestines causing her to loose control of her bowels and bladder and she was bleeding internally.  While she didn't appear to be suffering, there is no way that she wasn't.  We sadly had to have her put down. Yes, I'm meowing at her in the video.  Sometimes she would answer when you would do that, but she would always come to you. She was such a cute little love bug.  I named her Perpetua, from the Bridget Jones movies, and later we shortened it to Petty, just because we are a family of nicknames.  I remember when we first got her and she was so tiny.  She looked like a lemur and she was all black with a cou...
