Yea for sick kids! :(

Yea for sick kids! :(
Current mood: discontent

So at some point in the middle of the night, I think around 1:30ish, Skye comes in and wakes me up to inform me that he's puked in his bed 3 times, twice while he was asleep. And that he still felt sick. So I set him up on the love seat in the family room hoping it was just because he had too much sugar earlier. Nope, he's got a stomach flu and is begging me to take him to the dr's so they can make him feel better. He spent the rest of the night crying, puking and attempting to sleep in between. My sister was super cool as always when it comes to puking kids and took the night duty and watched over him for me. Both are half passed out on the couch about now. I've got one load of laundry in, which will be the first of probably about 6 with all the vomit. argh. This is going to be fun I hope he's feeling better soon. I hate seeing any of my kids like this when I know there's not really anything I can do for them...

Weeee Party today

Okay, so I have a party today and I'm not super amped about it, but I do have everything ready to go. I'm hoping I can get some bookings today, because I really could use them. More bookings means more money and more people that will reorder and in turn, more money again. I'm hoping that this will finally spiral into a profitable business for me. Granted any business takes at least 3 years before it sees any real profit. I'm in year two, AND starting almost completely over. So anyhow, wish me luck for today and that I get good orders and a few good bookings!

beautiful day...

So we took the kids to the Japaneese Gardens and then to the Ballard Locks today. It was great fun. The weather was beautiful, the temp mild with a breeze and they all behaved quite well. I took some killer photo's, of which I'll post some of. The day was near perfect (with a minor rocky start because I was woken up way too early). Or at least until I got home. That's another story, saved for another time... anyhow, then we went to the park and let the kids play some more, then went to Kelly's for dinner and to visit. My stupid dog decided to roll in the grass and rolled in poo, so when I pet her unknowingly, I got it all over me. P-U! So we're home now and all the kids are crashed hard already...

highly annoyed

yes, I get highly annoyed about the dumbest things I know. But I'm highly annoyed right now over the dishwasher not being started. Granted, it's partially my fault, but come on. Someone couldn't put soap in it and turn it on because they felt like being a petty child over it. I didn't run it when I was done loading it last night because I was waiting on dishes from the last two people eating dinner, one of which was not my child, and so I didn't start the dishwasher. I ran around doing all sorts of stuff last night, and spaced it by the time I came home completely tired. In fact, I came home and went straight to bed. It wasn't even 9:30 I don't think. I opened yesterday and was on my feet all day working. sheesh... So then I leave for work this morning by 8:20, and of course, with people showering and me in a hurry didn't even go upstairs except to snag my half sandwich outta the fridge on my way out the door. So the dishes sat all night, all day and up until 5 minutes ago when I put soap in it and started it. Gee that was real fucking hard. And that couldn't be done by someone else? wtf. I wasn't even home all day, came home, sat down for a few minutes, vacuumed downstairs, sorted my TS order that came in, put the stuff away, ran to Costco and Fred Meyers, came home and ordered pizza for dinner, went and got the pizza, fed everyone, left for Safeway to get dinner for tomorrow, came home to relax some and all this time no one else left the house and couldn't be bothered to put soap in and start the fucking thing. I know it's stupid to get worked up over something so trivial, but at the same time... Grrr.

2 week weigh in

I opted to do a weigh in this morning even though it's only been 2 weeks since my last one. I wanted to see how things differ between a non pms week and pms week, which is when I usually would have weigh in's. According to this morning, I've lost a half pound and another 1.5 inches and .17 lbs of body fat. I somehow managed to gain a quarter inch in the abdomen though, which is totally lame. Oh well, I'll just work on that more I guess... I need to go for a bit longer once or twice a week I think, rather than just twice around all the time. maybe I'll do that on wednesday next week, since I have the day off of work. We shall see... Anyhow, just thought I'd share.... I have to work day shift today cashiering, so weeeeee, lol. ;)

hmmmmm...

I decided to make my stuffed shells a bit differently today. Going to make them with italian sausage and spinach with the cheese this time instead of ground beef and no spinach. Wanted to change things up a bit and see how it goes.

I went and worked out this morning and decided to schedule a mid month weigh in for Friday morning. I work at 8 am that day, so I'll drop Kelly at the bus and then go do my weigh in and work out then zip home for a quick shower and off to work. Luckily I cashier that day, so I don't have to be worried about being tired after working out and having to run around all day. I get to stand in one spot and be a bump on a log.... :D Now that I'm all tired and light headed, I should probably eat something since I just realized I've not eaten anything all day long and it's after 11...

Argh.

well, there goes my good day. not only did I get essentially ditched again by Conner, but I just got into it with Kelly over discipline and the children. Apparently I don't discipline my children. And here I thought that I was all this time by grounding them, standing them in corners, throwing away their things, and spanking them when all else fails.

Yea for free stuff!

So I went and picked up the office chair and file cabinet and got a bonus metal storage shelf in the process. Yea for free stuff! Both the chair and file cabinet are larger than I thought, so bonus there. I'll have plenty of room now for all my paper stuff that I need to file away and save for both home and work. Yea :D And the chair is a really nice one too. Only "problems" it has is some paint splatters on it (oh, no, can't handle it!) and one itsy bitsy little tear in the back that can easily be patched with electrical tape. neither of which compromise the functionality of the chair. So I scored big time today. Well worth the savings to haul my butt over there to pick up the stuff ;)

oh happy day...

I'm feeling great today. It's nice out, I don't have anything that I HAVE to do today. Well, I need to pick up some free office stuff from a friends mobile they're selling, and go visit my friend Conner even though he's a rat bastard, but other than that, nothing that I absolutely have to do. I've showered, eaten, and figured out a shopping list for dinner for tomorrow night since we have no left overs for leftover night (we have a meal list to simplify life) so I'm making stuffed shells for dinner tomorrow night. mmmmm yummy. Anyhow, I love days like today. I can relax and chill out. Yea! And of course a great nights sleep helped too heh heh...

eh...

I really like having days off to veg and not have to be running around like a chicken with my head cut off. I did that today. I had stuff I'm sure I should have been doing, but I didn't. I only left the house to go work out this morning (which I had to push myself through) and then to go to work tonight. I did nothing all day in between really except sit on my ass in front of the computer. I need some serious down time. I'm suffering emotionally from being on the go constantly and from all the stress I'm under. I've found myself in tears twice in the past few days. Once for no apparent reason and the other because I was so stressed I had to let it out somehow. Working out does help relieve some of my stress. But I'm finding that I'm really tired all the time again, and that sucks. I honestly think I might need a med adjustment. I should call monday and make an appointment for the dr. Need to go anyhow for other stuff. Just been putting it off. I know what would fix everything for the moment... A nice full body massage. Yeah, that would be cool... that would kill some of that stress right quick... Well, anyhow, I'm rambling now. Really freaking tired and should go to bed.
