I am sooooooo tired

Kenley's cutting her 3rd tooth, but it's her top eye tooth. Weird huh? I googled it, and it said it was uncommon to cut those first, but doesn't indicate anything's wrong, so that was a relief.

She's been up the past 2 mornings at 5:30. I worked all day yesterday, had a reunion meeting last night, and then she didn't sleep well at all!!

So.tired.

What is your favorite "housework" to do?

I like doing the kitchen. Because our living area opens up into the kitchen- I like to keep it all nice and tidy in case any one comes over. So I like to clean it. I like doing the dishes by hand anyway. Especially if I'm upset. It gives me time to think.

I also love making the bed.

And then laying on it...Ain't nothing like laying on a freshly made bed...I dunno why but I love it.

Robin that is awful that someone threw eggs at your house! I agree with Sara that it was probably some punks. I am glad you caught it before it was a real problem.

Jenn I hope you can get caught up on some sleep today. How is Kenley doing with her hearing aid?

long time no see smile

I like tasks that give me instant gratification.

I love when my kitchen is clean, when the floor is freshly vacuumed!

Do I like doing these tasks? Not so much.

I'm signing my kiddos up for Kindermusic through daycare.

Jake has asked me repeatedly. Kate loves music.

It is $50 each per month.

The go once a week for 30 minutes.

I've really debated doing it b/c of the extra expense.

Daycare is already high + with pre-k starting in a few weeks that adds another $135 a month.

That takes our monthly daycare tab to nearly $1,500!!

I like the washing/drying part of the laundry too. I also love cleaning the bathrooms. I like that clean, fresh smell

I hate ironing and dusting

we got a clothes steamer.

TOTALLY better than ironing. So much simpler and faster!

Heya ladies!

I love to vacuum. I'm obsessed with super clean carpet tracks.

sappy · Guru

so the pie is in the oven.

except i think i screwed it up because i'm using frozen pie crusts.

i have enough stuff to make two in case this one turns out like crap.

i'm THAT confident in my mad baking skills.

I'm so stuuuuuuuuuuuuupid!!!

I put the reply on yesterday thread... So here I go...

Hello ladies!!

Somehow losing those four pounds gave me a lot of energy today. I took the kids to school, went to walk my 2 miles, did two rounds of laundry and cook for the boys. I still have two hours before i pick them up!!!!

I'm so focus on losing the weight. I think i was just letting myself go so I'm happy that i'm back on track!

I'm having such a difficult time with Marcos!!! He never went to preschool or anything so now he is just imitating everything bad the other kids do.

THe teacher tells me that he is just a wonderful loving kid who is exploring what are the limits. He gets like five different homework every day!! Studying with him REALLY gets on my nerves.

On the other hand I have Diego. He has such a big heart and body yet he is just a kid. He wants my attention. So I'm working on that.

ANd Manuel... he is entering those difficult years where he thinks he is a man...

nawww.... just wanted to vent a little...

I know! Life seems so absolutely non-stop anymore!

every time we put something on the calendar my hubby or kid's schedule trumps it!

that imitating thing really concerns me. I'm so afraid that Jake will learn something really, really not good. He has one little boy in his class and I would pay money to have them separated! He is always saying inappropriate things, doing inappropriate things. I encourage Jake all the time to play with other friends or tell him that the decisions his "friend" are making are not good.

And I have the teenage crap roaring in my house too!

It is hard having 3 kiddos I think - spreading yourself out and giving each one the individualized attention that they need for their personality type.

I've felt alot lately like Jake is getting lost in the shuffle. I hate that. I make special effort every day to just sit with him and talk with him b/c it's so easy to be chasing Kate or dealing with teenage BS and since jake is not the "squeeky wheel" I just let him play with what he's playing with and deal with the squeeky wheels.

wow, I'm a rambler!

I'd have to say my fav chore is dusting. I remember when I was little my grandma would give me me and rag and solution and I would go to town. My fav back then was dusting all of her pretty statues.
