HMMMM whats wrong with this picture?  I looked out the window to find our picnic table had relocated itself, thanks to the wind. 

A mommy’s favorite time~~nap time!!!!!!

Did I mention I really, really like nap time?????????????

Okay all done.  Enjoy

Good morning  

I’m typing with my hands full of Rainee Grace who is trying to grab anything and everything within her reach.  And banging a plastic cup a lot.  She has very busy hands.

Well the girls are moved into their new room.  Just finished doing it.  Trying to get rid of the poly-urethane stink in the room though.  If we can’t get rid of it by night time, gonna have to move Rainee’s crib back down here.  I do NOT want her in their with her lungs being what they are.  So the fan is blowing and the windows are open.

I took a picture or two of the floor, but haven’t had time to upload, when I get a minute I’ll post it.

Today is Bible study day, so I get to get out of the house.  (yeah)  And dh heads back to work.

I’ve really been struggling with my depression ever since the flu-bug (in case you hadn’t noticed).  And am having a hard time staying thankful about anything.   

Sooooo its time for a thankful list!  I bring to you the sacrifice of praise.

I’m thankful that Rainee’s breathing is much better.

I’m thankful for a husband who does house work

I’m thankful for kids that love me

I’m thankful for the sunshine outside

I’m thankful for a friends new pregnancy

I’m thankful for rl friends.

I’m thankful for ol friends.

I’m thankful for the internet

I’m thankful for parents who love me

I’m thankful for singing.

I’m thankful for little boys.  

I’m thankful for little girls.

I’m thankful for the help that Zeria give me.

I’m thankful for a Heavenly Father that carrys me along when I’m struggling. 

Good morning

My kids are currently putting dinosaurs all over the piano.  HMMMMM  

My eye is already feeling bits better.  Hopefully by the end of the day things will be much better.  Though its a pain to go to the doctor, I’m so greatful I can get it fixed. 

I painted the girls bedroom floor yesterday.  Just a bright blue color.  It was long overdue.  They just have chip-board in their room, and the paint that I did on it a couple years ago had taken a very big beating!  Part of that is because it was the first time I ever painted a floor, and I didn’t really know what I was doing. 

Today I’m hoping to paint some bright goofy flowers on top of the bright blue.  And when those dry I’ll put poly-urethane on top, which I’m told will preserve the paint much better.

Then I will move ALL the girls in.  See it *was* the boys room.  And its the bigger bed room, and now that Rainee is sleeping through the night (7 whole days of it )  She’s gonna move in with her sisters, so she doesn’t have to live under the stairs.  (Her current very temporary residence)  We put her there as a transition to moving her in with the “big” kids.

Sooooooooooo hopefully today will be moving day!

I end with a picture of my snuggle bug…isn’t she cute. 

Good morning  

So Rainee has gone back to extremely mild wheezes.  But mommy had milk products.  (bad mommy)  So I’m hoping a couple more days of dairy free, and Rainee will be completely free again. 

Rob got my stomache bug yesterday.    So he spent the day in bed instead of at work.  I think  his boss is probably thinking Rob will never work again.  *sigh*  I’m so greatful he has sick leave.

Yesterday was my mom’s birthday party.  It ended up being pretty nice.  Just our families.  Which means like 30 people    The men helped give her a new roof on her porch.  (At her request)  My dad is not a carpenter, or even a fix-it guy.  But my brother and bil are….so mom likes to borrow them if she can get away with it.

I have pink eye, so *sigh*  I guess I’m gonna have to go to the doctor to get a script to take care of it.    I kept hoping it would get better, but yesterday it got MUCH worse.  So as soon as the Dr’s office is open,  I have to call.

I would really really really really like one week without going to the doctor.  

I picked up my new glasses Saturday night.  What a relief!!!  My old ones were soooooo scratched.  I didn’t get a new script and I can still see so much better.  But of course I’m going through the break into the new glasses routine.  (ugh) 

Rainee learned to wave this week.  Its very cute.   

And yesterday Princess wanted to know in all seriousness…Mommy, will I be Zeria when I get older?? 

James new nickname will be Mari Man.  It is what we call him at home, so that is easier.  And its very cute cause he’s starting to talk and he’s saying Mahi Mohn.   

I have some new pictures, but no patience in uploading them to xanga right now, so another day.

Have a great day all!

Good morning.

So Rainee just threw up the once.  And I survived the day, and am essentially feeling human today.  Still a bit achey, but I’ll live.

Gotta tell ya the happy dance stuff though

Rainee is

*gasp*

WHEEZY FREE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

She hasn’t been 100% wheezy free since she was born.

The doctor said yesterday that her lungs are the clearest they’ve been since she was born.  And she wass there 10 minutes AFTER  Rainee was born, so she’s the best job possible.

YeAH YEAH YEAH YEAH YEAH YEAH YEAH YEAH YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Good morning

Well things were just going too well.  I mean really I had my housework caught up.  And I had energy, and my kids were all healthy.

Soooooo Kaylin gave me her flu bug.  And I’ve spent the last 24 hours puking or wishing I could.

I’m 98% better today~~just achey all over.   

Rainee has thrown up once today and is snuggling with me without wiggling  so I’m pretty sure she has it now. 

sigh.

Trying very hard to maintain a good attitude about this newest irritation.  But its not working too well.

Good morning George how are you?  I hope your feeling fine…I have to work all day at the chocolate factory.

Okay enough Veggie Tales   Anybody wanta finish it? 

It was a LONG night.   With 2 girls ending up on the floor in our bedroom.  Kaylin and Zeria have taken to sleeping together in one bed.  Which is fine.  BUT last night Kaylin sat up because her tummy was hurting and puked all over Zeria.    And then Zeria was sooooooo grosed out by this, that  she puked too.  Of course she had to wait until AFTER we’d given her a new nightie and new bedding.  UGH!   Soooooooo got a new load of laundry to do. 

Anyhow Kaylin threw up one more time, and then it seemed to be gone.  So I guess it was a 1 hour bug.  (shrugging shoulders)   But in the meantime she was in our bedroom so we could keep an eye on her.  And in the middle of the night (some unknown hour)  she sat up and couldn’t figure out where she was at and started crying.  So then she ended up in bed with me.

No many people co-sleep successfully.  I am NOT one of them.  I’m too restless.  And I can’t be restless when theirs a baby in bed with me.  And so I end up hurting all over, and wondering when the day can begin so i can take so ibuprofen and quit hurting. 

It was a LONG night.   

The good news?  RAinee slept through the night for the second night in a row   NOW if only the rest of them would. 

Do you know how much mommys start worshipping the god-of-sleep after awhile.  And how allusive he gets…..

Good morning

I’m typing with two girls in my arms.  One of which is a FIDGET (Kaylin)  She has never cuddled in her life.  She’s always got something moving.  She is ROBS daughter ROFL.

Rainee Grace is praying with a tooth brush.  She thinks its very cool~~only problem?  She doesn’t have any teeth.  BWAHAHA

We had a date night last night.  Low key, but a nice break.

The biggest news????? I’m almost caught up with my laundry 2.5 more loads to fold,   and I’ll be done.  I went to the laundromat yesterday as our washing machine has died.    So today I guess we go looking for a new one.  And we don’t really have the money to do so.   

I let Princess use my camera and here’s her first picture ever~~~I cropped it a teensy bit (with her expert advice)  But I thought she did remarkably well for a 5 year old. 

HD thought that looked like fun so I let him take one picture too.  He did quite well as well.     Even if he did have to take it of mommy. 

Okay now that I’ve broken all your puters i guess I better get off and fold that laundry. (EWWWWWWWW)

Can you stomache some more?  I took fall pictures.   And I think their adorable.    Except for the fact that James would NOT look at the camera lol.  He thought his siblings were much more fun to look at. 

And of course as time went on the leaves became just completely fascinating.  Mommy had to PRY one out of Rainee’s hands, because she thought it would make a very credible breakfast. 

So my question is?  Why did I bother taking 15 pictures of the same thing.  The very first one (the last one I’m showing)  is the best one.  And it always seems to work that way.  ROFL  (Don’t tell my kids that, cause they’ll cease posing after the first)

Anyhow I’m glad I took these yesterday cause it rained all night, and now the leaves aren’t near as showy.

Aren’t my kiddos getting big?  I’m trying to figure out how that happened.

Someday soon here I’ll be raising 5 kids 6 and under.  That’s sounds much less intimidating.  BWAHAHAHAHAHA

Sunday School is going very well these days.  I’m excited.  Some women who rarely take initiative in things of God…ARE     I’m am officially the teacher now.  Only I’m REFUSING to teach.  HEHEHE  I told them I’d get them started on time, and end on time, but they were responsible for the learning.  And everybody seems excited about it.  Here’s hoping it works. 

I have a headache that 4 ibuprofen won’t touch.  And I have 12 loads of unfolded laundry waiting for me.  Maybe moving around will help.  She says wistfully.

Rainee bug slept in the living room last night.  And only woke up twice.  It was sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo nice to have the bedroom to ourselves.  Of course if her breathing gets bad again in she will go to our room.  But she’s doing fairly ok (in Rainee terms)  So we moved her out.  I sleep so much better when she’s a bit farther away.

Today we are tomato staking Samuel.  He is not allowed out of daddys sight for anything.  He has been very destructive in the last few days.  And we are beside ourselves with what to do.  So Samuel is not allowed more then 5 feet away from daddy for anything.   I’m so hoping this works.  He just broke something of mine that was very special.  Yesterday he helped himself to some stuff of ours that was a no-no.  Saturday he put candy in his pocket when we were shopping.   And Friday he cut his hair.  *sigh*  He’s so sweet….and so destructive.  I was really hoping that the terrible 2′s were gonna go away now that he’s 4.5.   

Father God, as we train our children, let them see the joy of you, and not just the rules.  And please God remove my headache!  Amen

Good morning

After infinite patience I have 3 pictures to share with you.  The first one was SUPPOSED to be a pic of everybody helping Rainee get her treatment.  But instead it just looks like our house does every day.  Kids flying everywhere.    I figured it would help you all know why I’m insane.   

The next 2 give a new definition to the term bad hair day.    Did I mention that Rainee has a lot of very uncontrollable unmanageable hair.  hehehehehe

Oh mom I really don’t want you to show these pictures she says.

Well 2 of us are ready for church.  Rainee bug and mommy.  So mommy needs to go get some more bugs ready for church.  And get the boys in the tub. 

Have a great day all and enjoy a laugh at Rainee’s expense.
