Today's chaos

Well, I can't say that today started out like any other day....chaotic! Haa haa haa.....thats just my life right now. I went to be late last night....woke up at 2:30am to pee ( I know you didn't want to know that)....thats what happens when you drink 30oz of water before going to bed. I was able to go work out last night, but not until 8pm. Thats why I went to bed so late, I was too wired from working out. I do however prefer working out later in the evening rather than early in the morning. I am NOT a morning person! So, at 4:30 this morning, Sammy comes in our room and says (mind you in a very chipper voice) "mommy I threw up in my bed!" Great! Now, I'm up again, this time tending to my kiddo! And of course, once I've got her all cleaned up and ready to go back to sleep....I climbed back into bed.....and was WIDE STINKIN AWAKE! I don't think I really went back to sleep.

Fast forward to 7am today. Luckily today was Jason's normal day off from work, so I knew I could count on him for help w/ either Sammy or w/ the daycare kids, while I cared for Sammy. Oddly enough....she was acting fine! No fever, no upset tummy, wanting to eat the "brat" diet. Which she asked for, "start me off the the banana mommy". Then she was all smiles and asking to do projects today (I know she feels good, if shes asking for food to eat and projects to do). So I get her settled down w/ stuff to do.....while my daycare kids start arriving. By the way, one of her projects was a kite. She took a piece of paper, taped a long piece of string too it and colored a rainbow in one corner and in the opposite corner she wrote "steev" (sounded out its Steve). I asked her what that ment and she said something along the lines of because she was sick and Uncle Steve was in heaven because he died, she made a kite to reach him?!?! I don't understand it, but I know she has him on her mind. tears.....

Anyway, the rest of my morning has been pretty hectic, loud and crazy...but thats pretty normal. However, we took Nate to the dermitologist (sp?) for a F/U on his excema. His skin is looking great. All cleared up! He has to bathe 1x a day, use Cetaphil cream and Cetaphil gentle soap. And no more HOT showers! But while the Dr. was looking his skin over he noticed some bumps under his right arm. He called them "Molluscum Contagiosum".....I guess these are related to warts/a virus? So, he told Nate he could either leave them alone and they'll go away by themselves, or he could "pop" them like a pimple, or the Dr. could freeze them off. Well, Nate opted for the freezing them off. Pretty painless, just a little sting. So we'll see how that goes.

Speaking of dermitologist. I will be having a mole removed that has been with me my entire life! Its not painful, just anoyingly UGLY! So, on 3/11/09 (just a few days after my b-day) Its GONE! I'm excited.....no more button butt for me!

Okay, thats it for now.....the girls are enjoying dance class btw....and Nate is planning an snow caving camp out w/ his dad and boy scouts. I'll be headed for court (expired tabs), Portland to see wicked and then NYC, ALL in the month of March! Very busy around here.

Hugs and kisses,

Yet again, another update

So, life just seems to get so darn busy. Really the only time I have to stop and catch my breath is either during nap time and or when I go to bed at night.

So, from my previous blog, I was to have the whole weekend to myself. Which I did, but not without some bumps along the way. Mom came by to pick up the girls around 5pm. She had not been on the road more than 30min, and I got a phone call. She called to say that Kaitie had thrown up in the back seat, and wanted to know if she should bring her home. Now, if I'm to be honest here....and that is what I'm going to be, I was thinking to myself "are you kidding?!!" That was my initial thought! Followed of course, quickly, by "oh my gosh is she okay?" After talking w/ mom for a bit, we decided the reason she threw up was because she got a hold of a piece of candy and chocked on it! Yikes, very scary!

So, for the rest of my first night, I had in the front of my mind, "is Kaitie okay?". But I did not let that stop me for pressing forward w/ my plans for the weekend. I went out Friday night w/ the girl friends, had tea at the Global Bean in Silverdale. Chatted it up for a couple of hours, listened to great music (played by the best we could come up with as a he/she). Saturday was filled with playing ketchup w/ my DVR'd soaps, ER, Grey's Anatomy and Trauma real life in the ER! Sorry, folks it was a boring weekend, but I enjoyed it. Of course, I was thinking all weekend of Kaitie. And on Saturday was Sammy's 6th Birthday. So I was thinking of her too. But I wont lie, it was WONDERFUL to have 2 1/2 days all to myself. It was a great time!

So, now to catchup the rest of the way, we're still doing dance class for both the girls. Nate is extremely involved w/ boy scouts. Its nice, because Jason is doing alot of the scouting adventures w/ Nate! Good man bonding time! Sammy had a nice "rock star" birthday party on the 24th of January. She had 10 friends over, suprisingly it all went well. She scored on the presents....and still has yet to open everyone. Um....

I'm sure there is more to talk about....but I need to go separate my preschool progam....so CYA later....please leave me a comment to let me know you read the blog!

CHEERS & HUGS,
Becky
