Drum Roll please...One window seat. *grin* Yup I bought batterys...found some pennys in my wallet. LOL
And then checked our bank balance this morning and found out today was payday...well yesterday apparently.
Rob's calendar at work said Monday. But who are we to argue. The reason I was checking was umm 'cause well it was reallly low. So we're happy.
And I get to do the grocery shopping with out the midgets!
so off I go...
and I really should be in bed...
But I had to share very quick the two things I learned today.
1. I learned how to make psp picture tubes. This is cool. I also finally figured out the painless way to edit ones I'd uploaded. *grin*
2. I learned that in the U.S. slagging is not a word. But in New Zealand it is............
Sorry Tracie I just had to. ROFL
Ponders if she can find a New Zealand dictionary to look up the meaning......
So want to share a picture of my window seat. Every time I look at it I just beam at how nice it turned out. Its just so purdy. *grin*
Of course the kids and I had a battle over the throw pillows this morning.....*snigger* I finally bopped Sam in the head with one to convince him they weren't to be used for pillow fighting.......he was just so shocked. *sniggers*
I bought the pillows for $1.98 a piece at Goodwill. They are all immacuately clean and look brand new. I covered the seat with a quilt which I bought for ummmm $5.00 I think. It amazingly matches my curtains quite well. 
Can you tell I'm excited???
And yup still no batterys.
Tonight is Awana and I'm rather dragging. Rob didn't get down until noon to sleep, so he won't be eating with us. And I won't be getting to catch a nap.
I had all this energy. But all of a sudden its just disappearing somehow. I guess I should be glad that I had it when I did. Of course the fact that my pain level has increased is part of the problem. *growls* Well, I guess it just means its time to be a bumb for awhile.
Oh and for the record the first kid who carries food up on that new purdy seat is gonna be dinner! *snigger*
I've had a riot writing at Brendar's Valley this week. Though constantly amazed at what a couple of my characters are doing....
The purdy that I made tonight. The final copy of it LOL. I kept fussing with it. Its my r/p's family logo. *grin*
I finished my window seat....and was gonna put pictures up...but the batterys to my camera walked off on two feet. I know the suspense is just mounting greatly as you wait.
*snort*
tried robbing batterys...but their dead. 
Must be gettin' close to payday.
And yup its official I'm blathering. So have a nite.
I liked this test. Got the link from Tay. Sometimes the answers are weird, and sometimes they actually make sense.....this one actually made sense....somehow.
Your wings are DRAGON wings. Massive and
covered in scales, they shimmer with strength
and magic. They are the most obvious display of
your power - though it runs equally throughout
your heart and mind. You are uncompromising and
grave, with a profound sense of justice. You
have firm ideas about what is right and what is
wrong and set out to fix what problems you can.
You realize that you are more capable of
dealing with life and evil than most, and as
such you see it as your responsibility to
protect those who cannot defend themselves. You
have existed since antiquity and as such you
are wise far beyond your years in this
lifetime. While you strive for fairness and
peace, if someone should steal from your cave
of treasure (though not all that glitters is
gold) or compromise the happiness of you or one
who is close to you - they have signed their
death warrant. You have a mighty vengeance and
will unleash it upon such people immediately
and mercilessly. Arguing with you is
useless...you rarely back down and are known
for holding firm in your beliefs. Sometimes you
feel intensely burdened with the troubles of
others...acting as a Guardian can get so
wearisome. But you never give up...you see it
as your life's mission. Often very introverted,
you can be so smart...it's scary. Such a
combination of intelligence, creativity, power,
beauty, and magic is often intimidating to
those around you - who are also unlikely to
understand you. Arrogant, proud, overserious,
and sometimes a bit greedy or obsessed with
whatever treasure you choose to pursue...you
have enchanted people for centuries, and will
continue to do so.

For Catherine the pixie that I r/p with;
Catherine;
You are blessed with FAERY wings. Beauty,
laughter, life, magic...that's what you are all
about. You are refreshingly innocent and happy
with your life of purity and play. Life's a
game and it's a good one. In your eyes there's
no way to lose! You can be very mischeivous and
have been known to cause trouble, but it's all
in the name of fun and not meant to really harm
anyone. You like to play tricks on people who
aren't quite as bright or clever as you - which
is almost everyone. Nature is the setting you
prefer to be in - Always. Barefoot and wild you
can't be tamed. You're probably a restless
spirit who loves to travel, and quite a
dreamer. Your creativity is astounding and your
art (of whatever media - from writing to
painting to drama) is like something from
another world - ethereal and often very
fantasy-oriented. You can either be a social
butterfly or a loner with their head in the
clouds - but rarely inbetween. You stubbornly
refuse to accept responsibility or to give in
to the wishes of others - unless you feel like
it. You have a strong passion for music and
can't imagine life without it. You'll grow up
someday, but you'll always be a child at heart.
You are adventurous and love to take risks, and
feel a deep connection with the weather,
plants, and animals. You prefer sunshine to
thunder or snow, the warmth of summer to
autumn's chill, and quiet forests to suburban
backyards. Magic through and through, you are
far more powerful than you seem, and are
capable of being extremely passionate. Though
you can be childish, naive, stubborn, and
self-absorbed, one thing is certain - life with
you will never be boring!

For Sharee Catherine's younger sister.
You have wings of STEEL. No one's really
sure why, but at this point in your life you've
shut off emotion to the point of extreme
apathy. You are cold and indifferent much of
the time...or perhaps you're just a good
pretender. Next to impossible to get close to,
even those who do never see the real you. It's
entirely possible that YOU don't even know the
real you. You have a certain fascination or
attraction to destruction on a massive scale -
disasters, perhaps even death or the concept of
the Apocalypse. Because you hold so much
inside, one day you're simply going to snap.
Then the mask will fall away, and your true
wings will be revealed. Until then you will
deal with whatever comes your way in icy bitter
silence and acceptance. On the positive side,
you are fearless and immeasurably strong - not
much can crack through your defenses. You
intrigue people, who can't help but wonder why
you're the way you are. A loner and one who
spends much of their time brooding and
contemplating life and death - you are a time
bomb waiting to explode and create some
destruction of your own.

So now that Jen is offline, what am I gonna do?????? Find a life?
Gooooooooooooooooooood mornin
Well mornin anyhow.
My kids have spent the morning dancing on our new window seat. They like it apparently.
The window seat was our weekend project gone a bit big. sniggers
At first when I saw it finished I didn't like it. And my mom came over and we discussed shrinking it, and so on. But now with a slight alteration I've decided I love it. We're just gonna add about a foot and a half in the direction of the tv and then place the tv above it. And we essentially trippled our seating.
I'm going to go find some material to hang curtains and I have a huge amount of new places to put kids toys. Although they think it makes a lovely fort which is possible too......
Definitely its a keeper after all. And what made me think I liked it??? My kids put blankys on it to make a fort. And it looked comfortable and cosy instead of a big white box.....
So now my mission is to cover it and make it feel that way all the time.
I know I need to take pictures. I'll do that eventually. *grin*
Its a new day.
Its foggy outside.
I got two hours of sleep in a row last night....(I think)
Rainee has started taking her cannula off at night again. Rainee is wearing her cannula in the day time again as a result. Her and daddy are having a discussion about no off no off no off. (nose off) She's NOT happy with the new way of things. *sigh* How do you explain to a 20 month old something so miserable is "helping" her.
Zeria had a night incident. Sleep just wasn't happening.
I had a whole week of sleep every night. I really resented the trend being changed.
````````````````````````````````````````````
ok that's the whine. Life otherwise is doing good. Rob and I resolved our issues. I survived Sunday going-to-meeting without him as he did his overtime.
And life goes on....
Though I have the motivation of a really big slug right now.....
The worlds bravest parents...
We just survived taking our kids to the dollar store. Where they each got to spend the $5 their uncle gave them for Christmas.
Its all rather fascinating how much junk they could purchase with $5.....
They were each allowed to get 5 toys. And om that was just the coolest thing in the world!!!!
Zeria bought flashlights, balloons, sunglasses, a dolly, and bubble bath.
Sam bought, guns, guns, airplanes, guns, and guns. (he's a boy what can I say???)
Kaylin bought balloons, sunglasses, a shovel (about 3 feet tall and plastic, a foam puzzle, and a plastic fishing pole with fishes. (Look mom I caught a fish)
Jamari bought a shovel, a puzzel, balloons, motorcycles, and airplanes.
Rainee had mommy buy her color crayons, letter magnets, bubble bath, a shovel, and umm I forget. *giggles*
It was such a major decision. And Zeria came out saying. "Mommy, this was the best day of my life." all for five dollars.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I set up a reverse baby monitor. Found one cord, and am playing swapsy with another one. I feel much better about Rainee and not hearing the alarm now....
Thanks for the comments yesterday. Things are ever so much better now.
