Busy Busy

Okay, so one of the reasons that i don't blog as often as i should is that I'm a procrastinator (aka lazy, sorry for those that do procrastinate, but that's just me)





On the other hand are the kids. Lets put it this way, since i started typing this, I've been up 2 times to stop them from whatever they are trying to destroy. :-)



Last week alone, After the party, my in laws were here (thank you Memere & Pepere!), then an hour after they left my parents came (thank you mom and dad) and they were here till Wednesday. In this time, we ran around alot and played Wii alot, lol. Of course, Aric decided that this was the time to begin to get sick.



He hadn't been in daycare since the Friday before and started getting a cold on Monday night and it got worse Tuesday and i got him seen on his birthday (yeah... BOOO, lol) He was pronounced with an upper respiratory infection (aka cold here, he gets at least one a month here fun fun - NOT) and a viral rash from that. I took him to care on Thursday and they called me back and sent him home saying that he had a rash that looked like he was getting hand foot and mouth. I explained to them that he had a rash that had been there for 4 months and he was going to dermatology for it next week (i.e. this week) well, they said well, ok, bring a note saying the doc looked yesterday and it will be ok. So i called and waited till they said yes, we have a note for you just come pick it up. so i got ready to go pick it up and the daycare called back and said he had to go home now. GRRRRRRRRRR..



Wednesdays and Fridays are normally time i take for me. that week it had gotten re-arranged cause Aric's birthday fell on a wed and i didn't think it was fair to take him on his birthday. By this time it was 330, aric had only been in care a few hours and i had only gotten one work out in. no real time for just chilling out like i like. Guess I'm glad i didn't' go to a movie!! (i WILL this week though!!)



So i picked him up and he was a grump, i figured at this point to take both kids cause i was already aggravated and didn't need to worry about being late to pick up Lizzie. Probably not the best course of action, as they were both ramped up and just pushed and pushed and pushed, plus the fact that i was arguing with the clinic about who Aric's doc was and why he needed to be seen, etc... i was pretty much ready to run away from home, trying to not reduce into a small ball in the corner and cry. blah.



The next morning i got him an apt, got Lizzie taken to daycare and went for the wait at the docs. Well, he was pronounced with hand foot and mouth disease. but only on his toes and an eczema type rash on his thighs... and he couldn't go back to daycare till Monday. So i took him to the nail salon with me and got my nails done a pedicure and my eyebrows done (they did it too small past my arches, grr) he was cranky and crabby, which made me the same. Then we picked up Lizzie and she wanted to tell mommy how it was and it was a long night. lol. Those are nights i need a buddy to hang out with, but everyone was busy, so i just called an old friend and talked to some on line buds.

So, while yes, a quiet week for some of you, this was just alot in a few days.

well, i gotta go, rushing out the door, kids are crabby, but i think they'll be fine once we get to the play date. i still gotta shower!! lol. later!

Ok, My Tattoo. :D

Since i said I'd post, I'm posting, LOL. Yes, i got a tattoo, 2 weeks ago, and i love it. I waited 12 years, well, waited is not right... i put off for 12 years cause I'm a wuss. But after thinking about it and talking to my hubby about it, i decided that i could do it. So, i did it. I got it on my lower back, just above my rump. its a heart with squiggles, it hurt SO BAD, lol. But I'm glad i did it.

Okay, with out further ado, here it is.

Just a Quick Post

Well, my little man is 1. And sick. Of course, poor thing, if its not one thing with him, its another. His party went good, not many people came, but it filled our living room, his memere and pepere were there as well as some really good friends. The next day one set of grandparents left and the other arrived.

My parents came and they brought the mother load. Toys from one end of the house to the other. it was INSANE. :D. It was a great visit, didn't even get any grief when my tattoo was discovered. (yes i got one, I'll do another post later)

We played the Wii and just had fun. They go to bed WAY earlier than i do, so i just watched TV and played acro upstairs.

We were supposed to go to Niagara Falls today, but with Aric sick and under the weather, we have a Dr appt instead. Parents are gone now, and i have to leave soon to take the kids to the doc. I'm sure they hate to see me coming. LOL.

Anyways, i hope you are all having wonderful days and I'll be sure to write more soon.

Has It Been A Year??

Wow, its so hard to believe its already been almost a year! Aric will be 1 next Wednesday. He went from a preemie (only 3 weeks) at 7lbs to the 26lb little man i have crawling all over. Its amazing the difference in him and Lizzie. I am just in awe that I've been giving such great blessings in my kids (and my hubby) and know how blessed I've been.

I am giving him a simple party on Saturday, just here at the house, invited a few people from church, and his daycare and such. of course, i kept forgetting to bring the invites. (so stinking blonde some days!!) so i will have to send out email invites.... grrr. After the party, I'll add some pics.

I am just amazed and in awe.... yeah, i know, i keep repeating myself. (its my MUSINGS) He refused baby food till he was 8 months. then only haphazardly ate it, refused a sippy till he was 11 months, then embraced it completely. He's on sippys only, no formula, straight milk and loves table food. Can eat a whole Mac N Cheese kids meal from burger king. (yes, amazing!) and has a love of life and people. Smart and stubborn (aren't we all?) and wants what he wants when he wants it. LOL.

Well, i need to get to cleaning!!
