Sleeping pills and washable markers


I had an unexpected half da from work today. That turned out to be a mixed blessing since I really would rather work, but I have been up since 3am.

I came home to one kid relaxing in a recliner and the other napping- or so we thought.

Instead we found a very blue girl with very blue walls, crib, sheets and mobile! Good thing that Crayola makes washable markers. This is her outside where I decided to spray her with the garen hose. Yes- she wa snaked when she did her artwork, so it was EVERYWHERE, if ya catch my drift.

No naps happened today and very crabby kids prompted me to put us all to bed at 6pm and I took my new sleep aid.

We are all up now. That lasted a whole hour and a half. I am very groggy now and these crazy kids say they are hungry! Yea for husbands and McDonalds, both of which arrived at home about ten minutes ago. I got my sweet tea fix and they are currently having a burger picnic. I am going to bed!

Woo time goes by...

I realize that it has been a good while since I posted and I promised myself I wouldn't do that when I started this blog!
So very much has been going on... a sudden family wedding to think about, freaking out about selling our home ( mostly getting it ready to sell), figuring out what money we REALLY have, deciding to send the youngest child to daycare and also to dance class in the fall, my mom being gone for two weeks, then awaiting to see when she will to have knee surgey, both my husband and I getting baptised, a few family spats :) , and finally the purchase of a strapless bra.

I know, I know, the last thing seems so dumb. But in relation to how things go in my life, it is huge. This family wedding should be fun, but the figuring out of outfits ( namely shoes and undergarments) is dreadful. I have a super cute dress from last year that I never wore and bought on major clearance for like $15. But it needs a super special undergoody and since I need super special support- this is daunting to me.
But alas, Kohl's came through and for onlt $21! Well to me that is a bunch, but maybe I can get more use than I thought?!
So now I have to figure out the cheapest way to get rid of my farmer's tan... hmmm!
