• Good morning.  Well we had a 3 strikes policy last night.  All 3 babies woke up at once.  UGH!  Samuel woke up screaming.  Which woke up Kaylin (always does)  But then Zeria woke up--'cause she'd wet her bed.   Zeria was easy--get her dry.  Kaylin--put a boob in it   And Samuel--well he slept with us last night, we never did discover what his problem  was.  But fortunately he's a cuddler & sleep's VERY still unlike Zeria.  Who drives us ALL batty when she ends up in bed with us.

  
  

  My busy day yesterday went well.  Even was fun.  Prayer DOES work.  The kids were as good as gold at the Dr.  And it was a short visit--because all I needed was a blood draw, to make sure my thyroid stayed where it should while I'm pregnant. 

  
  

  We were listening to a kids tape on one of our MANY jaunts in the van yesterday, and sad music came on--in preperation to tell the kids on the tape it was raining outside, and Zeria piped up, "That song is so tragic."  ROFL!  And you can't laugh at a moment like that.

  
  

  Mommy was so proud of the kids at the Dr's office that she splurged and bought Papa Murphy's Take & Bake pizza last night.  MMMM MMMM.  And the bigger splurge was a liter of orange slice--my kids NEVER get pop.  Kaylin had her first tippy cup full.  And wow was she bouncing off the walls. 

  
  

  When we drove to cubbies--I  was SICK of kids tapes--haven listened to approximately 3 hours of them already.  So I suggested we sing.  Kaylin joined right in. (VERY LOUDLY)  you woulda thought she was drunk.  A DA DA DA DA BLA,  A DA DA DA DA BLA.  she sang more songs with me then the big kids...but then she didn't need to know the words.  (snicker)

  
  

  Our work changed insurance companies & Rob told me in passing--but never gave me the new medical cards.  So I got to the Dr and they couldn't find me on the old insurance listing anymore.  And I of course don't have the new cards.  And remembered a vague conversation that we had new ones.  And felt like the typical blond dense housewife in saying I think we might have new insurance, but I don't know what it is.  GROWL.  I don't like coming across that way.  And now Rob has NO NO NO idea where he put them.  Guess who's gonna be doing the for useless information press 1....for more useless information press 2...and while we're finding it please listen to this NASTY elevator music??  NOT ME!  I'm not the one who lost the cards.  That would be Robs job.  Sides I HATE the phone

  
  

  Today I SWEAR I'm gonna get my laundry folded, provided I don't get too sick.  LOL  Otherwise I'm gonna have a lazy day.  Its been awhile--and we all need one.  Rob will go to work as scheduled at 10:30.

  
  

  Oh one last funny.  My housecleaner is a 17 year old girl.  She does a REALLY good job.  Anyhow I was feeling bad 'cause the house was AWFUL after having not had a deep clean in 3 weeks.  Was getting ready to apologize as she was getting ready to leave.  She says instead.  "That's the easiest job I've ever done."  I'm thinking--surely NOBODY can be as slobby as us.  She says, Yes your house is small--and I didn't have to guess what needed to be cleaned it was obvious.  ROFL!  Good thing I was in a good mood yesterday.  But actually I understood what she meant.  I used to clean for a Dr's office.  (pre-kids)  and I never saw any dirt.  But I valiently, vaccumed, and dusted, and cleaned.  And they always said it LOOKED GREAT.  But me, I was thinking...UMMM  it looks just like it did BEFORE I came.  LOL

  
  

  Father God, its a new day.  I ask that you would help Rob find the medical cards this morning.  And that we enjoy today.  I ask that you enable me to get done what's needed and leave the rest alone.  I pray that my kids would have cheerful hearts.   (me too )  In your sons name, Amen
