Twitter

As you can see, I have added Twitter to my blog. I have been doing it for awhile now, thanks to Julie. I don't do it on my phone - just computer at home. But it is fun to follow other people and see what they write about. Even my husband does it...and that is saying something! So if you have never tried it - go for it! It's fun! And as you can see...I rarely update. And most are just Julie and I talking back and forth - HA! You would think we do that enough on the phone...oh no! We have to tweet too!

Chaotic

This is our lives right now as we know it.

Let me give you a slight recap of yesterday...and please note:
There are at least 3 instances where I could easily be nominated for Mother of the Year.

I get all the kids dressed and loaded up yesterday for Brooke's 18 month appt. Yes, she is almost 20 months old and I forgot about making the appt. til last week - 1st Nomination. They have been held captive in the house most of the last 2 weeks so I thought we would go to the mall afterwards to blow the stink off.

We get to the doctor, he begins to examine her - which she DOES NOT LIKE - and she proceeds to get VERY upset and...
she vomits everywhere. Like a faucet. Disgusting.
Note: In case you are keeping track - Nomination 2.

At this point, we head home since she and I are in no shape to be out in public. When Brooke goes down for an afternoon nap I send the boys outside to "work." They proceed to remove the snow off our outdoor table. They have fun, I have peace and quiet, the snow gets somewhat removed. And yes, it is freezing outside. But they love it. Possible Nomination 3.


"The Work"


"The Work Crew"


Concentrating...


Smiling for the camera


After that we become "Fun Parents" and take the kids to dreaded Chuck E Cheese for Jack's school fundraiser. That place is so disgusting but my kids think it is heaven on earth. Definite Nomination 4.


Brooke could have sat in this car all night - moving or not!

To top the entire day off, we return home to a noticeable chill in the air...INSIDE our house. Yep...the igniter goes out in our furnace. That equals no heat. Awesome. Thank God my kids have heater/fans for their rooms. Daddy and Mommy, on the other hand...pants and long sleeve shirts and a few extra blankets for bed.

And it is only Wednesday!!??

Happy Valentines Day

This was my present when I got home tonight


Am I lucky or what?!

Hope you had a wonderful Valentines Day!

Randoms

Yet another edition of randoms...

I made it to Cleveland for work. Not a fun trip in all this snow. But I am here, working and getting uninterrupted sleep. And Ty Pennington will be at the show Saturday - I might scream out "MOVE THAT BUS!" Original, huh?

I miss my babies.

My babies were well cared for by Aunt Stacy and Baby Cade. No school for Jack made it easy for no car duty but made for long days in the house. Stacy said the boys were very helpful and Brooke is definitely the boss of the house. Now they are with Grandma Goshorn. The Wii is already up and running...I could hear the boys squeal with delight on the phone!

Tooth is still there - thank goodness. I can't miss this monumental occasion.

That is the randomness from Cleveland tonight. Exciting stuff, eh?

No News Is...

...no news.

Nothing going on around here. School and the gym....that's about it. And snow. Lots of it.

I leave Wednesday for work in Cleveland. The kids will get smothered by Aunt Stacy and Baby Cade and Grandparents Goshorn. That equals McDonald's, Pizza, candy, cinnamon rolls and anything else they want. And lots of Wii at Grandma's. Sounds like "The Good Life" if you ask me.

Tooth is still intact. I know you have been wondering. I am about to pull that sucker out...if he loses it while I am gone
I. WILL. LOSE. IT.

I'm just a little controlling...

Randoms

Random things I have heard at my house in the last week:

Jack: "Mom, do you wanna know why Brooke is bossy? Because YOU are bossy to us. Like how you boss us around, she just wants to boss one of us around."
Thanks for that clarification.

Will: "I don't know why. I just want to hide behind the door."
You can probably guess what this was all about...

Jack (at 645am):"Mom, I am ready to get up."
Mom: "Jack, go back to bed. It is not time to get up yet."
Jack (about 2 mins. later) "Mom...I forgot that I puked last night."
Thanks for that wake-up call.

Brooke: "NO!" "NO!" "NO!" "Ieee Wuv YOU!"
In no particular order, mind you.

And finally...while showing Will and I the American Flag he made at school last week...
Jack: "See Will - you can hold this up and say your American Idols!"

Don't you wish you were a fly on OUR walls??!!

Working Girl

I started work this past weekend, thus no photos or posts.
I am working for my cousin's company...might have heard of it...Angie's List.
Yes, there is an Angie.
So I will be hit or miss thru mid-March, as I work a week, off a week, etc.

But there may just be an exciting (to us) post later this week.
Someone has a very loose tooth in this house!
But first we have to get over the stomach flu - yuck!
