A week off- not much to show

So I had this lovely week off after Easter and I got sick- toosick to move for a few days and finally after a week I went to the Dr. I came home with antibiotics and an inhaler. So I am coughing less and feel better, but I still have clogged ears!

We managed to get out with friends sat night to Colony House and Starbucks. It was great. I had hoped to have a spiffy clean house and all these wonderful things- but ahhh. No such luck!

The kids did get in the snow with Daddy.

Still semi-blind

So not only did the trial contacts not do it of me, I ripped one th very first day! I have to pick up another pair today.
I am ignoing my children who are fighting over a dollhouse and two minutes ago were fighting over how much love Eliza wants Jack and he does not want to accept. Oh - she just pulled a cave man on him and dragged him acoss the floor by his hair- I must interrupt that.
This let- them figure it out themselves thing is hard for toddlers, not to mention all the way through teen years!

Can't see, how great

Alright,


So I go to the eye doctor, they order my special toric lenses for those like me who are exceptionally blind and I pick them up yesterday. Yeah, can't exactly see. Great. I can't focus them together and they expect me to wear them for two whole weeks to try 'em out!
Hmmm- I always have high hopes on stuff like this and am let down.

Last night I made homemade soft pretzels from a recipe on http://kellytheculinarian.blogspot.com YUM! Not as pretty as Kelly's, but I think I will be making them again, hence perfecting the look and making lots of yummy things with them- soups to dip them in and sandwiches too!

Right now I am enjoying Joffrey's " Jamaican Me Crazy" coffee which I got free from http://www.joffreys.com fresh from my french press while the babies sleep! A rare thing ( both at once!)

This morning it was 53 degrees! INSIDE mm hmm, furnace on the fritz. Well as it turns out, DH accidently put something on the drainage hose and it backed-up, shutting it down. So it was fixed for free! YEAH! But now the boxes are piled on my washer and drier instead of the hose... oh well!

I have pizza cassarole started for tonight- 3 weeks in a row now. It makes a ton, so we eat it more than once, but Little Guy asks for it so...
The recipe is from http:/www.tammysrecipes.com. She has lots of easy "everyday" recipes! Love that!
