TGIF, Right??

Things seem to be getting back to normal for us, Claire's red spots are slowly fading away and she is getting back to her happy little self. Today is also payday for me and this paycheck it the first in many, many years that I will be keeping the whole thing. In the past, 700.00 of it always went straight to daycare but this year we were able to arrange for one of us to be home when they get out of school. Woo hoo!! So since we have some extra income we'll actually be doing some fun stuff this weekend with the kids and I will be getting some much needed clothes shopping done. Plus, I can now get my butt back into the dentist's chair ~ not so thrilled about that one.

Taylor did not get to go to his appointment yesterday, with the bad weather we were supposed to be hit with I called to reschedule since his doctor was right in the middle of where it is known to flood. So no news there yet. I hope everyone else has a great weekend!


*************************************************************************************


Last Saturday I went shopping for bras at Walmart, I just needed one to tide me over until payday. The whole family was there because Taylor also needed to have his glasses adjusted. Claire and I went over to the bra section while the boys waited there turn for the eye people.

After searching many racks and trying on as many bras as I figured I could get away with under the watchful eye of the mean ass attendant, I still shit out of luck. Bryan and Taylor joined us and near tears I expressed my frustration to Bryan. I went in and tried on a few others and feeling at the end of my rope, decided to just buy the one that kinda sorta did the job.

I found Bryan at a bra rack that I hadn't really noticed before and lo and behold, the man had found the size I was looking for! Bryan beamed a huge smile at me and was so damn proud about this, he even told people at work on Monday about how HE had found the elusive bra.

What a time that was, Claire feeling on all of the bras complimenting on their softness ~ Taylor asking me what the pink part of the boob is called ~ and my lovely husband tearing through the bra aisles like he was on a scavenger hunt!

At home, I marveled over the fact to Bryan how in high school I was a 36B and then in college and after the kids I was a 38C and NOW, here I am trying to search for a 46D!

Not missing a beat Bryan responds with, "yep, pretty soon you're gonna have to start making these babies at home!" I could have killed him right there.....

Happy Thursday!

Crazy Land

Things have been a little hectic here in our little corner of the world, sorry I have not been around lately.

Yesterday I had to leave work early and take Claire to the pediatrician. Since Sunday we noticed Claire had these tiny little red "bumps" on the insides of her thighs. At first, we thought they were flea bites since her and a bunch of neighborhood kids were playing with a stray pup Claire was loving calling "Best Friend". But, by Tuesday the angry spots had traveled to her groin area, under her butt cheeks, and moving on up her tummy.

Sitting there in the doctor's office waiting for her turn, Claire was full of questions and concerns for other children in the room and impatiently wanted to know when her turn would be. I did my best to keep her entertained and tried to give her Tic Tacs because her breath stunk.

2 hours later I was told Claire had a staph infection, and a pretty bad one at that. She is taking antibiotics 3 times a day for 10 days and we're keeping our fingers crossed that it will take care of the virus.

So as you may guess, I have been busy stripping beds, washing clothes, and spraying anything that sit still long enough with Lysol. I will keep you all updated as much as possible!

PS. I also have Taylor's physical therapist visit tomorrow morning!!

Heaven

I was watching a movie the other day and Claire and Taylor came into the room at the very end, and what they saw was a funeral and then the movie showing the lady's face up in the clouds. Claire asked me what that meant and I explained to her that she was in Heaven now.

Claire: I cannot wait to go to Heaven! When do we get to go Mommy?

Me: Not until you're old and you die.

Claire: And then how long do we stay and then come back?

Me: No honey, that is not how it works. You go to Heaven and stay forever when you die.

Claire: How long is forever?

Taylor: Like 8 days, right Momma?

It Wasnt Me!

Bryan: (Yelling from the kitchen) Why is it every time I leave this damn house something breaks?!?!

*He has turned the disposal off and on now for about 10 times and it sounds like it is trying to eat a dinosaur)

Me: I have no idea honey.

*Do you think I am going to tell him I poured popcorn kernels down the drain?? Hell no!*

Bryan: Did you have something to do with this??

Me: No honey.

Bryan: *Muttering* Yeah like when you didn't brake the vacumme by trying to suck up actual limbs from the Christmas tree......
