It has been so sunny. 8 days now.

GM!

Today- more like in the next three hours I need to finish up laundry, get the kids dressed, me dressed (maybe even a shower, lol) and the apartment picked up.

My sister in law will be here at 11:30 to watch the kids for the day :) :)

She drives over 2 hours each way once a month to give Travis and I a day off.

She and I went through a really rough patch way back in the day and I couldn't stand her.  Love love love her now.

Henry's friend John-David came over after school yesterday and stayed until I took him home at 9. [I just love John-David; he has EXCELLENT manners.]

Of course, Mark pitched a GINORMOUS fit when he had to go to bed while John-David was still here.

This morning, I'm going to the Little Clinic in Kroger for a probably sinus infection; my throat has been hurting for DAYS. And now my head is completely stopped up.

This afternoon, I'm taking Mark to a birthday party at an indoor gym place.

While I'm gone, some painters are coming to give us an estimate on painting the living room, kitchen, and Mark's bedroom.

I've explained to Glen and my dad (who's bringing the painters) how I want it painted.

Tomorrow we have church in the morning, then Henry is going to Chad's birthday party in the evening.

I was hoping to get tons done before my family comes in, but I need dh for most of it.

He got called into work at 730 and he didnt get home till 130 last night.


My sister sent pictures of the first home my parents ever bought. I always wanted it as my first house, but man its smaller than I remember. She also sent pics of where I went to kindergarten -3rd grade. Thats bigger than I remember.

and since I had my credit card out anyhow, I pre-ordered the easy reader books from preschool prep.  I'm so excited they are being released!   Tristen knows all the sight words from the three videos now, so I am hoping this will be his leap into reading.  Tristen is so far ahead of Koda reading wise, and I totally credit the preschool prep series.  end infomercial, lol.

Good morning.

It's been a decent morning so far so I'm expecting a terrible afternoon. Beasts.

Right now they are quiet like they are going to nap but I suspect it is s trick.

I was like the energizer bunny this morning. Well, not really, but for me currently I was. I woke up early (it was like 7:15, but that is early considering the time change). I had to pee because the prednisone is messing with my glucose levels, so I am downing water like it is going out of style and having to pee all the time. Anyway, once I was up to pee, I had to have a BM anyway, so I was up by then. Plus the prednisone makes me hard to sleep (I usually take benedryl or something at night otherwise I would never sleep!), so I figured I would just stay up.

Sometimes going back to get upsets my bowels for some reason anyway.

So no one else was up-so I decided to clean my bathroom. It was nasty in there because Bill won't do it and I have been sick for a while.

Bill was sort of awake after that, then Kate started to wake up, but I was already dressed and all, so I decided to make breakfast. Bill thought it was too early, but I get shaky if I don't eat (again, I think it is the pred messing with my glucose-I hope I don't end up being diabetic because of this), so I went downstairs.

I made such a fatty breakfast-we had sausage gravy and biscuits. The kids were disgusted by the gravy, so they just have biscuits with honey and some strawberries. My dad got us these strawberries from Sam's club-they are HUGE!!!! And SOOOOOO yummy.

Anyway-that was a lot for me for before 9:30am.

We had a birthday party last night for Bill's youngest brother and his aunt. We are getting into birthday season now-this coming weekend will be the only free one we have until May.

Anyway, half the family hadn't even known I was in the hospital! Everyone was all like, "I can't believe I didn't know! Why didn't you call us, Bill?"

Um...these people are friends with my on FB-if they ever checked there, they would have known!

Anyway, I don't really care-I wasn't really all that anxious to have people come visit me while I was there anyway.

The party worked out in our favor-the kids got to bed super late last night and ended up sleeping in some this morning for the time change. Cha-ching!!!

Supa, not sure if they are there, but I was just in Burlington Coat Factory the other day and they had some super adorable easter dresses right when you walked in.  It made my ovaries hurt for a girl ;)
