Busy Week

I've been very busy "producing" things lately. Things like.. a clean chair (see previous post), a dress or two, a pair of leggings. A dozen newborn diapers. I am not producing dinner. I must admit, it's kinda embarrasing how much we have eaten out as of late. I'm just not feeling like cooking and my very understanding husband doesn't mind paying for very $$$$ takeout! Tonight will be dedicated to sewing a bunch of crayon rolls I received an order for. I'm going to try to get half of them done (ten!). We'll see how that goes!

If you thought I was a domestic goddess..

You're sadly mistaken. This post is to dispel any lingering thoughts any of you may have had. I had to take pictures it was so bad. So, in an effort to let the truth be known, here are the pictures.



This is the laundry in the laundry room. Two loads worth of jeans. A small load of whites. A small load of colors. A small load of delicates and three loads of sheets and towels. Eight loads.


Here is the pile of sheets and random blankets that will take two loads. We're up to 10 loads of dirty laundry folks!



And here is the clean laundry that needs to be folded. That is my oversized chair it is living on. There are:
-Three loads of cloth diapers
-Three loads of towels
-Two loads of whites
-At least two loads of colors, maybe three
-And I'm sure there is a load there that I"m missing
So eleven loads of clean clothes to be folded.

Anyone still think I"m a domestic goddess? I'm not even going to show you the horror that is the bathroom!

Rants from the Pregnant Lady

Today's little experiment in blogging.. Every time I have a mini- rant, I'm going to come post it along with the time. Should be fun!

-12:40 pm: I really want a stuffed pizza slice and a watermelon smoothie from Taste of the Tropics. But I don't want to go to the mall to get it.

-1:10pm: I settled for a Totonio's supreme pizza we had in the freezer. I still want the stuffed pizza though! And Bryson just wanted to play with his cars in bed. Not sleep. Being the mean mom I am, I took the cars away and made him scream.

-2:01 pm: My neck hurts.. and I'm still thirsty, but I just finished a 20 oz cup of lemonade!

Bluebonnets

It's time for bluebonnet pictures again. After a lackluster year last year, this year's blooms are GREAT! I found the perfect spot and managed to catch a really good shot just by constantly pushing the shutter button.

Mikayla still doesn't really like tee ball, but she is going and participating most of the time. I think the part she dislikes the most is the baseball pants. See the problem is.. they're not pink and they don't sparkle and they itch. I just don't think tee ball is going to be her thing.

Strawberries!

To celebrate the lovely spring weather, we met up with some friends and went to pick berries in Lexington. We had a GREAT time. The kids have eaten about a pound and a half of the 6 pounds we picked. Bryson keep trying to pick the over ripe berries. And Mikayla was so happy to be out there, she kept skipping the good ones!

Do I have to have a title?

The hardest part of the posts for me is coming up with a title. I don't like them!

Sally is back in the hospital. She's feeling very weak and can't make it to the potty by herself. The doctors suspect that it is the cancer on her spine that is causing pressure on her spinal cord thereby making her legs weak. She's slowly losing her ability to form coherent thoughts and is having trouble finding the right words to express her thoughts.

Spring Break is half over and honestly, I hadn't known it had begun. With all the Sally stuff going on, there isn't much time for anything else. I've decided the kids and I are getting out today, even if it's only to the local park for some running around time!

Ahh.. Children.

Bryson loves to sleep. Unless he's anyplace that isn't home where he is without his crib. He can be dead tired, but WILL NOT sleep. He doesn't fuss. He doesn't cry. He will play nicely in a pack-n-play for two hours, but he will not sleep. At least mama got some time without said kid stuffing elbows into overly sensitive nipples.

Mikayla hears everything you think she can't. And nothing you think she can. Aren't all 5 year olds that way. Whisper something to your husband across the room from said child, with the water running and the TV blaring, and she'll manage to hear it. IF however, you say the same thing, directly to her face, in a quiet room, while she's looking right at you, and she'll pretend she didn't hear a thing. DRIVES ME NUTS!

Independence is a wonderful thing. I realized yesterday, that if I died, my children wouldn't starve. Mikayla decided it was time for her and her brother to have a sandwich. What type of sandwich you ask? Why a peanut butter, raisin and marshmallow sandwich of course. And she even cut it in half so they could share. They would, however, only have water from the bathroom sink to drink. She's not allowed in the fridge by herself and she chooses to observe that rule!
