Keepin’ It Real

I’m tired. I’m ill. I’m grumpy. Bet David can’t wait to get home!

I’ve come in here several times to post, but we’ve had so much going on and I haven’t had time or the energy.

So, just for you, here’s a couple keepin’ it real tidbits of our day.

Saturday I bought a thing of Oreo cookies. I did not tell anyone that I bought them. Audrey found out and told her daddy. As far as I know, I am the only one who has been eating them and I just finished the package off.

I yelled at a house fly this morning, behind gritted teeth. I told him to stay away from my blueberry muffins. When I went in the school room Sarah asked me ~ why you holler me  go away , I in here ~(she thought I was yelling at her)

I fixed 12 muffins. I ate 6 of them.

Sarah had a bowl of goldfish and a cup of Pepsi for lunch.

We have not done anything productive today. The tv has been on all day. Audrey & I spent a big part of our morning on the computer.

I envied David, just a little, this morning as he headed off to work.

 Which got me thinking about all the neat things we could have if I went back to work. I made a whole list out in my head. A bigger house, a nicer car, a new dishwasher, a new couch!, my list never ends, really, it doesn’t.

Then I felt guilty, and took it all back. I’ll stay in my little house, keep my old dishwasher and sit on my couch full of holes, which is covered by the way, if it means I get to be home raising these little girls.

As I was typing up those last few words, Audrey called for me. Apparently, Sarah thought it would be fun to put her icee on the floor and step on it. And yes, I’m still glad to be home, messes and all.

It’s Been a Long Night

Well, Emily is sick. Just not with the throat thing that Sarah and Audrey had earlier. She has some nasty, evil, tummy bug that caused her to be up all night hugging the toilet. She finally stopped throwing up around 7:30ish this morning and has been sleeping since.
