  • Great NEWS!!  Tommy went on the potty last night and again this morning.  I thinkwe are on to something.  Tonight we are taking him to Target to buy some big boy underwear with Superman on them!!   I give him a M&M for going on the potty.   


    I had to take a muscle relaxant last night since I was so sore.  I slept really well, but had a terrible time waking up in the morning.  It makes me so groggy.  But I am up and showered and heading to work now.







    Today is our weekly cleaning day at our home.   I have completed my chores and Erik's.  I had bathrooms again this week and Vacuum/Sweep.   You can see what the chores consist of at the following URL:

  • I am trying to find activities to do with the kids on Sunday afternoons.  We are going to make Bagel Bird Feeders this weekend.   Should be fun!

  • Went to school with Tommy and hubby this morning.  Man am I sore now the up and down off the floor etc.   But I didn't want to miss anymore with him.  I love my time with hubby and Tommy.   Our topic today was potty training.  I think I am going to start gearing up for no diapers.  We might try again.   We are going to take Tommy to Target tonight to buy some Superman underwear to jump start the process.   We will see how it goes! 


    I am going to only work 4 hours today.   I have a chiropracter appointment at 5:45 tonight.  Today is hubby's day off so hopefully he will enjoy the nice weather.   Though I have a feeling he will just nap on the couch.   I need to go tanning too this week.  I bought a tanning package right before my accident so I want to use those now that I think I could actually lay on a tanning bed and not be in unbearable pain. 


    I must get my shopping list and menu made tonight!!!!!!! 


    Well I am off to read a few sites while I ice my neck then switch laundry around and go to work.  Later!

  • BEFORE AND AFTER PICS OF NEW CURTAINS!!!


    I am not sure if I ever did post the final picture of my curtain nightmare!!  I love them now that we have them up.


    BEFORE



    AFTER



     

  • Hadn't shared many pics of the kids lately, so thought I better!  My mom likes to see the kids.



    My cool dude enjoying a nice warm day.  He likes to ride his bike.


     



    EASTER EGG HUNT....he was so excited to find the eggs.  He opened them and was so excited to find candy.  He would throw aside the ones that contained matchbox cars and say "I want candy!"



    Tommy loves his Superman Pj's.  He would wear them every night.  See his little Superman pose..LOL!! He runs and flys down the hallway.



    This is what hubby and I did today.  We had to cut out knots of fur of out kitty.  She got into something and has big knots.  SHe bit me a good one too!






    Right now Tommy just came running into the house and said "mom I see moon and venus!!"   LOL...my hubby is teaching him about the names of planets and stuff.  Tommy will often say, "mom you see venus?"   I never know how to answer him as I am not sure which it is.  


    Hubby is great at teaching Tommy new things.  He is working on learning Right from Left.  When getting dressed hubby will ask for his left foot, etc. and Tommy knows which is which.  His Auntie Bonnie also works on this.


    He is running in and out of the house now.  He said "Dad, Close the the door, THank you!"


    Now he is coming in now saying "mom I see jupiner and venus and moon!"  He says jupiter funny.  LOL!!


    Well time to get the little man in bed.


     


  • Well I am exhausted!!  We went to the Asian grocery store this morning and got the things to make egg rolls.  YUMMY!!!   We are all done making the Egg rolls.  We made around 90 of them.   Joshua and Amy helped with rolling them.  Now my back really hurts and I am relaxing for a while.


    I called my friend from back in SD.  I sure miss her and wish I could be around to help her out with the kids, etc.   Well I suppose I whould clean up the kitchen and get some more laundry done. 


    Plenty to do and little energy to go round....later!

  • ARgh....5:00am and I can't sleep.   I have been up about 4 times with Tommy throughout the night.  He is saying his ear hurts.   I suppose we will be taking him to urgent care in the morning.  I gave him some tylenol and he finally settled down and is sleeping with Daddy.   I couldn't fall back to sleep and my back was killing me.  So I am up and had some more advil.   He is such a cute little guy, I can't imagine our lives without him.  I wish I could ever tell if he has an ear infection or not.   I ask him why he is crying and he will sometimes say my ear hurts.   So I take him to the Dr and 50% of the time he has an ear infection the other half there is nothing wrong with him.  ARGH!!   I hate paying the 15.00 co-pay for nothing.  


    I think I will read a few pages and see if I can fall asleep.   My day will be starting before I know it!   Later!

  • Dishes done......Tommy should be home soon.  My back is killing me...I think  I will lay down until Tom get home from my SIL's.   Later!

  • Well I have cleaned out the fridge and made egg salad....and still not very motivated.   Tommy has gone to his aunties to play so I better get busy.  I am going to run to the gas stations in a second and get a pop....maybe the caffiene will get me motivated.  I better take advantage of Tommy being at my SIL's to get the freezer cleaned out.
